Non-Returnable Items

For hygiene and safety reasons, we cannot accept returns on the following Christmas items:

Exchange Policy

We’re happy to exchange items for a different size or style, subject to availability. If the item you want is out of stock, we’ll process a refund instead. Exchanges for Christmas fancy dress, angel costumes, elf costumes, and baby Christmas costumes are particularly popular, so we recommend acting quickly!

Damaged or Incorrect Items

If your Christmas decorations, Christmas Eve boxes, or any items arrive damaged or incorrect, please contact us immediately at [email protected] with photos of the damaged item and packaging. We’ll arrange a replacement or refund and cover all shipping costs.
