Lantern insert solution

Hello everyone!

Here’s the solution! 

Now I know this method is a little bit of an honor system. I expect some people will not go through with this method and you know that maybe just unfortunately what it has to be however to help correct the difference in fees for the inserts I have reopened the pre-order Shop, which is linked above.. 

In discussing things back-and-forth with a few other others who have had issues similar while running campaigns as well as discussing things with backer Kit directly about the situation so that they are fully aware of what’s going on. We have decided to reopen the shop with a special listing. That’s just a five dollar add-on that you can purchase kind of like my tip jar and it will cover the difference per insert that needs to be corrected. 

It is the only way I can edit things at this point so if you go through with correcting it through the pre-order shop and grabbing yourselves the lantern edit then that would be amazing. Otherwise I will do my absolute best to still figure out coverage for whatever I don’t get through this method…

I did at least negotiate heavily with my manufacturer to knock the price down significantly so it’s only a five dollar charge instead of something like 10 to 15… and part of that was because of being able to take early bird inserts away from those who say just ordered a pin..


Also as a great apology for this or the best apology I can think of on top of it I will be adding an extra freebie pin to whoever was impacted by this current snag.


I will say my manufacturer and I are together with an understanding about how we need to communicate with each other we do our best to go back-and-forth in English and in Chinese to try to make sure we’re on the same level of understanding but sometimes things still get missed, which is unfortunately what happened 

Needless to say with everything that went on, I definitely and deeply apologize for this whole craziness. I have been racking my brain over it for the past few days..

And just because I have the availability with the few unwalkable pre-order pins that were in the shop. I have left them available to choose from if you guys want to go that route instead of the lantern choice battle count to as far as I care right now about it..

Again, I apologize for everything! I’ve felt absolutely terrible about it.

It will get corrected though one way or another



Bag insert snag!
19 days ago – Thu, Jul 02, 2026 at 07:17:49 PM

Hello everyone, 

Really annoying news!

My manufacturer has come back at me with new prices for the bag inserts.

It would mean editing the cost for you all by another 10-12$ per..
Which I really really REALLY do not want to do, and I’m actively trying to negotiate with them to break down the costs per set.

The only way I could keep the current cost is if you were all okay with accepting just ONE panel at the currently set price rather than a set of three..  this would be for everything except the candle early birds. The added on later /extra  sets would be edited as well.


I’d love to hear back from you with opinions on this.


 My only other option would be to try and see how much it would cost ( which might end up being the same ) to attempt making them myself with my sister’s help as she’s a seamstress with more experience than I.. but I wouldn’t also be able to Guaranteed the same level of finish on the pieces if I go that route.

I’ll edit this post with updates on any negotiation I can get through with my manufacturer, but in the mean time please let me know what routes you’d like me to do..

Increase, one panel, etc??

I’m again horribly sorry to end have to ask

Locking orders and payments failures
26 days ago – Thu, Jun 25, 2026 at 12:34:22 PM

Hello everyone!

Reaching out to let everyone know I’m locking down final counts now so I can get orders placed appropriately with my manufacturers!

We are still in a pretty hefty list of failed payments though, and that doesn’t include all of you in the pay over time darlings! You’re well accommodated, and I am doing what I can to over order a few bags of each so there’s plenty of coverage !

Please do what you can to Correct you’re payments soon, I’ve got over 20 currently!



The preorder shop will also be closing soon so last chance to grab goodies while possible!

Smoke tests sent!
about 1 month ago – Thu, Jun 11, 2026 at 07:13:04 PM

Hello everyone!

Sending a notice out to let you all know that The smoke tests for surveys have gone out! I’m hoping to send out the surveys in full in a few days from now if the smokes go off cleanly!

I also wanted to remind everyone that we’ve got about 26 orders that still need to be remedied for error of some variety! If you can fix em up It will help me significantly as the quantities failed puts us on the edge of keeping tiers open or needing to close them off😰


Also I have been made aware of some
Shipping price issues showing up on the end of pins? I apologize for that and know that it should be showing up at 8$ and bags should be between 18-25$ depending on your add ons! 


Please please continue to reach out to me if you notice this not being accurate!



Also I’m going through pirate ship on these boxes and these are the rough quotes I’m being shown for the big bag boxes!
