Our webshop is technically still open but we will not be sending out any orders until 5th Jan 2026. If you're really desperate to get someone a present from us, we do have gift cards.
Black and white illustration of a cat person in human clothing opening an envelope with the words "for you x" on it. The cat person is saying "a gift card!". There is a bird on their shoulder and a dog standing nearby looking up at the envelope.
