Sugar & Spice Release Information
Hello my lovely humans! Firstly, thank you for coming to read this page. It has everything you need to guarantee a smooth process and keeps our headaches to a minimum hehe.
I can safely say that this is our most anticipated range of the year! The response to the collection as I have been making it has been so overwhelming and I am so proud to have created such a beautiful collection. After 6 months of hard work and sharing the process, I get to send all of these out for everyone else to enjoy.
I hope you love Sugar & Spice as much as I do and I promise to keep you as updated as I can the entire way.
POST RELEASE UPDATE
You guys really showed up to this release oh my god 😭. Thank you so much! I'm going to keep this brief, but naturally we've recieved a lot of orders and as much as I've been transparent about this I need to touch on it again. We could be packing our current orders for 2 weeks - and that's just what we've gotten within the hour.
I sadly can't promise anyone Christmas shipping because of how long it will take us to pack these, but also combined with the shipping times for Christmas parcels as the system is getting busy.
I thank you so much for your patience and understanding and any and all info you need should be on this page. If not, you know where to find me (emails 💌).

COMMON QUESTIONS
Will there be a bundles with the other items?
Yes! We will have a few product based bundles available but have kept it minimal to keep it simple for our packing team. We have also run into some hiccups with sending mixed item bundles overseas, so until we solve that problem bundles will be kept to a an absolute minimum. We want as many parcels as humanly possible to travel smoothly and without packing errors or transit delays :)
What's the difference between the Reading Companion And Reading Journal?
I now have some resources for this! You can watch the video here and read the blog post here :). But in summary....
Reading Journal: Large, lots of features and space. Great for avid readers!
Reading Companion: Smaller, less features and less space. Great for beginners, slower readers and as an extension to The Reading Journal when you run out of space.
All of the features are listed on the products pages! Be sure to keep both pages open so you can swap between tabs and compare.
Will my order come in time for Christmas?
If you're Australia, it is likely. But international? It is unlikely sorry! Our shipping cutoffs for Christmas fall around then and although I am sure the network is working extra hard to deliver, this release could be large for us and could take us anywhere from 1-3 weeks to pack depending on how launch goes. I know that may disappoint some people but I would always rather be honest and communicate it than make false promises 💕.

POPULAR FAQ & INFORMATION
'The price is different at checkout than it was showing in my cart?'
This is because the currency is displaying in Australian Dollars. Please know that you will only ever be charged in your local currency. We are based in Australia so our default currency is AUD which is why your cart might display in a higher price. If your cart is displaying in a higher price, that is the AUD value but you will only ever be charged in your local currency (USD, EURO, Pounds etc). I hope this helps!
ORDERING INFO & TIPS
- The Sugar & Spice Collection will come off the website about an hour before release. This is when we start adding in the quantities into the system. They will go live at the specified launch time.
- Please make sure you are signed up to our marketing/email newsletter. This isn't because I want to send you annoying emails lol, it's so that we can bulk email you guys with release order updates! If you aren't subscribed to emails then you won't receive the updates and could miss important info
- Please check the saved addresses and email addresses you have on your account/apple pay/shop app before ordering. A lot of people have outdated addresses pre-saved, so to make sure your shipping and notifications roll out all groovy, make sure this info is correct :).
- Please make sure your inbox has space so your notifications arrive to you! Also please check your spam/trash/promotion folders if you aren't seeing anything come into your inbox.
