Our Policies
-
Because we operate on a curated, collection-based model rather than a mass-produced one, each order requires dedicated time to be prepared with the care it deserves.
Processing Timeline: Please allow seven business days for your order to be personally curated, inspected, and wrapped in our signature style. Certain outsourced products may be processed even quicker.
Collection Model: We release items in limited periods. Once a collection is sold out, those specific items and aesthetics may not return, making each package a timed treasure.
Tracking: You will receive a confirmation email with tracking information once your package begins its journey!
Disclaimer: Unfortunately, we do not currently offer international shipping but hope to in the future.
-
Our obsession with the strange and beautiful extends to protecting the world that provides our oddities. We are committed to a circular packaging model:
The Materials: We strive to use recyclable, recycled, upcycled, repurposed, or biodegradable materials when packing, wrapping, and shipping whenever possible.
Your Role: We encourage you to continue this journey by recycling, regifting, or upcycling the materials in your delivery. Each package is designed to be beautiful enough to keep and repurpose.
-
The heart of our business lies in human touch. Every valentine, and most packages, are individually assembled by the owner.
Unique Variations: Because our work is artisanal, no two items are identical. Small variations in lace, ink, or finish are hallmarks of a one-of-a-kind creation.
The Quality Check: Before any order leaves us or our suppliers, it undergoes a quality inspection to ensure the integrity and cleanliness of the art and items within.
-
We take great pride in the quality and history of every stone we offer. To us, a crystal’s journey from the earth to your hands is just as important as its beauty.
Conscious Sourcing: We prioritize only having partnerships with trusted mines and suppliers that provide livable wages and safe, fair working conditions. Every stone is hand-selected to ensure it meets our high standards for quality and character.
A Natural Disclaimer: Because these are genuine products of the earth, they are each one-of-a-kind. While we strive to show every detail accurately, please keep in mind that slight variations in size, minor surface knicks, or internal inclusions can occasionally happen. These are simply natural traits of authentic stones. Similarly, because of natural lighting or screen settings, colors may look slightly different in person. We don’t expect these small variations to happen often, but they are part of the unique personality of each piece and we hope you find them as special as we do.
Energetic Cleansing: To ensure your stones arrive ready for their new home, every crystal is energetically and physically cleansed before being tucked into its wrapping. This clears the stone’s energy for its journey, allowing it to arrive with a fresh, neutral frequency ready to resonate with you.
-
All Sales Final: Most items are final sale. We do not offer returns or exchanges for change of heart.
Damages & Issues: If an item arrives damaged, please email us within 48 hours of delivery with a photo of the packaging and the item at connect@strangelittlevalentines.com
Exchanges: On a case-by-case basis (excluding custom valentines), we may offer an exchange for store credit. Return shipping costs are the responsibility of the buyer.
-
Response Time: We aim to respond to all inquiries within 48 business hours. Please note that as a small business, we typically do not respond to emails over the weekend or on holidays.

We are a cat-friendly sanctuary. While all items are meticulously cleaned and inspected before they are individually wrapped, our feline companions are present during the creative process. We recommend that individuals with severe allergies take this into account before purchasing.

We take pride in our curated selection of crystals:
High-quality and consciously sourced, we make a point to not carry anything dyed, synthetic, man-made, or unnaturally treated. We aim for diversity in our crystal selection, but if we cannot find a source that shares our values, we will not carry that material.
