FREQUENTLY
ASKED QUESTIONS

  1. Which of your products can be memorial/memory items?
    Almost any of my products! You can browse the doll and stuffed animals sections of the website and when you order your item enter notes at the checkout stage...let me know that it is a memorial or memory item, what embroidery you'd like and if you will be supplying any clothing items to be included in the design.
  2. You make so many things, I don't know which are best to order?
    This is a commonly asked question for sure! I am more than happy to recommend some options based on who you are buying for and what you'd like to include (embroidery details, clothing items etc). I often recommend items based on your personal situation so feel free to email me at lillebee@outlook.com to discuss or DM me through my Facebook/Instagram
  3. I want to order a number of items. The price adds up quickly - what payment options do you offer?
    I absolutely understand. Everything I make is custom made from scratch from the highest quality materials and my pricing reflects this. To help spread the cost you are able to choose to pay by credit card or laybuy to help spread the cost as well as internet banking.
  4. Are there other animals/styles available that aren't on the website?
    It is highly likely! I am often working on new options and have designs that may not be currently on the website - if you'd like something in particular please email me to discuss at lillebee@outlook.com
  5. Do you import toys & then personalise them?
    No no no. I often am asked this, and would like to clarify that I make EVERY single item myself from scratch. Everything starts as a pile of fabrics, thread and stuffing and I create them from there. I am based in Auckland, NZ but ship worldwide.
  6. I live in another country (outside of NZ), can I still order?
    Yes! You absolutely can. Sometimes I have customers ordering from other countries for relatives in NZ. It is easy to do so as you can pay with your credit card and simply enter their address in NZ for delivery. Other times customers would like the item shipped internationally which I can also do. If you would like international shipping quotes please enquire directly as they are not available as a standard option on the website.
  7. What kind of fabrics can I use?
    Almost any! 100% cotton fabrics work well as well as polyester/cotton blends, cotton lycra etc. Most clothing items can be used, however some very sheer fabrics or silks may not work. Please message/email me to discuss.
  8. Can the whole item be made from clothing?
    This one is tricky,....in some cases yes. It depends on the style and size of the toy/doll I am making for you as well as the composition and condition of the fabrics you wish to use.

Stuffed Animals

I make dozens of different animals and styles. From Bunnies and Bears to Cats and Foxes. Quirky options like Bats and Llamas and Frogs are also on offer. If you're after something that you don;t see in this section please get in touch to ask as I might be able to make something bespoke or have a design that I haven't yet listed on the website

Dolls

From tiny pocket size 'carry me with you dolls' to fully jointed baby dolls and tooth fairies...many styles can be customised to suit...your choice of hair, eye and skin colour etc
