We now allow people to purchase gift cards from our shop! They give you a unique code to use a checkout to deduct from your total.
It’s also a good option if you’re worried your gift won’t arrive in time for Christmas – because the postal service has become very unpredictable since the pandemic and there are no longer any time guarantees.
A small update on our Blasphemail postal stamps featuring the “f” word! Some time after creating these American stamps, I noticed the stamps.com website had gone down and I was trying to track down any news on this. Eventually I found this article that stated the USPS had ruled to discontinue the custom photo stamps program.
Now it’s possible that some day they’ll bring it back (🤞) but perhaps they won’t. So I thought I’d let you know, in case they’re all gone forever and ever, that there are currently 8 units of our American stamps left, so grab them while they’re around!
✎ The opposite faces now equal 7 ✎ The dice and pips are slightly larger ✎ The pips are now cone-shaped inside ✎ The colour is slightly warmer
Overall we’re happy with these changes although there are still some paint issues within the pips which we’re working out with the manufacturer. If this can’t be resolved long-term, it might not be worth sticking with this manufacturer after all since it takes hours and hours to fix imperfections in the paint by hand.
I thought I’d write a bit about some of the obstacles and challenges in trying to get these dice made overseas.
When considering getting dice made, you’d think, what could really go that wrong? It turns out there’s quite a lot! In this photo is our Think Twice Dice manufacturer journey. :’)
Our Play it Safe enamel pins – featuring a face mask with little chains for straps – are now sold out. They won’t be coming back, so thank you to everyone who snatched one up and helped us donate to our local charity to help deal with COVID-19.
Our Think Twice Dice are our bestseller, so we’re always looking for ways to improve them. We’ve seen many comments about making sure that opposing faces should add up to 7 (they currently don’t), and we’ve also noticed many D&D players buying many packs of them at a time. So in the future we want to update the opposing faces of the dice, as well as offer a promotional price for a set of 6 dice.
While taking these changes into consideration, and having gone through many quality problems with my current dice manufacturer, we’re officially on the hunt for a new dice manufacturer, but it’s a long process and with every new sample arise new issues. But we won’t give up!
If you know a quality dice manufacturer you can recommend to produce our unique dice, we’re interested to hear from you.
Many of our products use our small, white slide boxes. This makes it easier for us to focus on making new products, rather than spending more time trying to create new, unique packaging for every different product.
