Returns Policy

Hassle-Free Returns

We want you to love your purchase! If you’re not completely satisfied, you can return your item within 30 days of purchase for a refund. Here’s how:

1. Email us at customer.service@contempo.gifts to let us know you’d like to make a return.

2. Send the item back to us in its original condition.

Please note that return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer unless the item is faulty. For more information, read our full Refunds Policy.

Exchanges

Changed your mind on the colour, or picked the wrong size? We’re happy to sort it. We don’t do a direct swap, so it works like this: send the original back for a refund using the steps above, then place a new order for the one you’d rather have. Same 30 day window, and it works the same way whether you’re in the UK or overseas.

Contempo is built on a clear and intentional set of values that guide every buying decision, supplier partnership, and customer interaction:

Originality – We avoid anything generic or overdone. We seek the unique, the overlooked, and the surprising.

Curiosity – We’re led by that “ooh, what’s this?” moment. If we’re excited, you will be too.

Playfulness – Whether it’s a cheeky candle or a pun-filled notebook, we believe our products should make you smile.

Design-Led Thinking – We obsess over how things look and feel. Beautiful packaging, clever design, meaningful form—these matter.

Inclusivity – Our shelves reflect a spectrum of personalities, tastes, and price points. Great design shouldn’t be elitist.

Independence – We champion small makers, independent brands, and ideas that don’t follow the crowd.

Give it a squeeze and watch this poor cat's eyes make a run for it.

A soft grey kitty that stays perfectly composed until you apply pressure, at which point the eyes bulge out in silent protest. Deeply satisfying, faintly ridiculous, and very hard to put down once you have started. A favourite from our gifts for cat people shelf.

Small enough to live on a desk, in a bag or on the arm of the sofa. The sort of thing that gets picked up by everyone who walks past. Have a look at more gift ideas.

• Squeeze to pop the eyes out
• Soft, squishy and slow to return
• Palm-sized, ideal for desks and bags
• Also available as a dog
• Brilliant fidget for restless hands

Squeeze first, apologise to the cat later.
