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.

A pair of hand-dipped mugs for the small moments that quietly make the day.

The Rue mugs keep things simple and do it beautifully. A soft off-white body is dipped by hand into a deep sea green glaze, giving each mug a clean colour block and a slightly different waterline. At 260ml they are sized for a flat white, a matcha or a proper macchiato rather than a bucket of tea. There is more of the same quiet good sense in the Kindred Mugs range.

The shape is gently curved with an easy-to-hold handle, and the Kindred logo is embossed inside the base as a nod to how they are made. They arrive gift boxed as a pair, so they slot straight into our new home gifts without any wrapping paper drama.

• Hand-dipped sea green glaze over off-white
• Compact 260ml, ideal for a flat white
• Curved shape with an easy-to-hold handle
• Dimensions: 8.5 x 6.5cm, 260ml each
• Gift boxed, dishwasher and microwave safe

Pour something warm and take five.
