Customer reviews
from 64 reviewsI just ordered the fox for a friend and she absolutely loves it. Its SO cute and beautifully done. I will def order again.
Hi there :)
My fiancé absolutely loves her new ring bowl and it looks beautiful wherever it's placed!
Thanks for the great service and such a high quality product!
It’s gorgeous, thank you! As with all the other products ordered and received from Calico, the quality is superb. A great example of local is lekka 😀
I was so excited when I collected my order that I parked just a few metres away from your home and excitedly opened the neatly wrapped package.
Thank you Danielle and the Calico team for our absolutely lovely and unique peg family.
It is proudly displayed on our family table.
The family whom we gifted was just has blessed and happy!
Thank you
Danielle has made me the most sensational custom items. She is a pleasure to deal with and her work is absolute perfect and magnificent!
Lovely little tealight house with gold sparkles! Pretty enough for every day use, not only Christmas!
Thanks so much Danielle! I’m so happy with my beautiful Moxy Mugs.
Something that this lockdown taught me - surrounding myself with things that bring joy and finding pleasure in small things - like my new moxie mugs. Every time I use it my heart makes a little somersault!
Love the products I ordered, was supposed to be gifts for others, but now seriously considering gifting it to myself. Karen
I wanted something cute to rest my paintbrushes on when I’m creating and the two wildling mini blobs I had made, fit the bill perfectly. I’m very happy with them and the service I received. Tanya
Such a pretty little light, smaller than I thought but it is so beautiful!
I found the tea lights unique and special and thank you for the added surprise 😉
I absolutely love your products and the little houses are gorgeous - i was, however under the impression that i would get 3 tea light houses, as per the picture advertised - Not a huge crisis and obviously an error on my side but just for future it would be helpful to perhaps have a *only one tea light for that price or something like that :) Unless i completely missed it. Would have preferred to order a set of 3 as in the picture :)
