To be eligible for a return, your item must be unused and damages or of poor quality when received. It must be in the same condition that you received it. It must also be in the original packaging.

Several types of goods are exempt from being returned. Personalised goods cannot be returned if in good condition and quality when received. Perishable goods such as food, flowers, newspapers or magazines cannot be returned. We also do not accept products that are intimate, sanitary goods, earrings, hazardous materials, or flammable liquids or gases.
​
Additional non-returnable items:
* Gift cards

LATE OR MISSING REFUNDS (if applicable)
If you haven’t received a refund yet, first check your bank account again. Next contact your bank. There is often some processing time before a refund is posted. If you’ve done all of this and you still have not received your refund yet, please contact us at emma@giftsbyyou.com.

SALE ITEMS (if applicable)
Only regular priced items may be refunded, unfortunately sale items cannot be refunded.

Exchanges (if applicable)
We only replace items if they are defective or damaged. If you need to exchange it for the same item, send us an email at emma@giftsbyyou.com and we will provide further instructions.

Gifts
If the item was marked as a gift when purchased and shipped directly to you, you’ll receive a gift credit for the value of your return. Once the returned item is received, a gift certificate will be mailed to you.
​
If the gift giver had the order shipped to themselves to give to you later, we will send a refund to the gift giver and he will find out about your return.
Shipping
To return your product, you should email emma@giftsbyyou.com and we will provide further instructions as to where to send the item. You will be responsible for paying for your own shipping costs for returning your item. Shipping costs are non-refundable. If you receive a refund, the cost of return shipping will be deducted from your refund.
​
Depending on where you live, the time it may take for your exchanged product to reach you, may vary.
If you are shipping an item over R800, you should consider using a trackable shipping service or purchasing shipping insurance. We don’t guarantee that we will receive your returned item.
