Pricing, Product Descriptions & Availability
All prices displayed on this website are in Pounds Sterling and are inclusive of VAT and exclusive of packing and delivery. One party bag consists of one set of contents as detailed in the text. Some individual items come in a variety of different designs which may differ slightly from that shown in the picture. We will select one at random and you may not receive the same item as illustrated. Our item descriptions always state this where applicable.
Where sizes of products are quoted these are only intended as a guide. Prices and availability are subject to change without notice. All products shown on the website should be in stock. We keep a large quantity of stock so we can dispatch your chosen party bags to you straight away. In the unlikely event that items ordered are out of stock we will inform you by email or telephone offering you an alternative, a new delivery date or an opportunity to cancel the order.
Safety
We take safety issues very seriously. We only supply ‘toys’ which carry the CE mark and comply with European Safety Regulations. Many items such as stationery, jewellery, hair and fashion accessories are not classified as ‘toys’ and do not carry the CE mark. However, as some of these items may prove harmful to children under the age of 36 months, we only supply our party bags to children over this age.
In addition, the bags, tissue and gift tags are also not suitable for children under the age of 36 months. The Little Things does not accept liability for any injury, damage or loss that may occur due to our party bags having been given to anyone for whom they were unsuitable, as detailed above.
Privacy Policy
Any information you provide us so that we can fulfil your order is treated as confidential. We do not pass on or sell any information to third parties. We occasionally may send out mailings to notify you about important changes to our website, new services we may provide and special offers we think you’ll find valuable. If you do not wish to receive any of these mailings, please contact us.
