Handmade:
Everything sold is 100% American Made. Nothing imported, nothing manufactured. Due to the handmade nature of each item there will be variations from the items pictured. But don't worry, every item is beautiful and has been gift tested in the store before being chosen for this web site.

Guarantee:
Satisfaction is guaranteed. If for any reason your gift does not satisfy your needs, return it for something else, a SOTA Gift Certificate for equal value good for all time. All we ask is that you return the item within 30 days of purchase and provide a copy of the receipt. Please call to discuss options, we are flexible and want to make you happy.

Your favorite Gift Shop:
Answer these three questions and SOTA will provide 5 suggestions that will satisfy your gift need: 1) What is the occasion? 2) Who is it for? 3) What ideas or price point did you have in mind?
Gift boxes are free and SOTA offers a selection of handmade blank cards and gift enclosures that we can fill with your sentiments. Please ask about cards when sending your gift and we will make suggestions for the occasion.

Wishes Come True:
SOTA has registries!!! For weddings, house -warmings, Birthdays and most important, YOU! That's right, just fill out SOTA's e/form and send it to whomever you want and they can contact SOTA to order your dreams.

SOTA Ships anything anywhere:
All continental orders are shipped UPS ground unless otherwise requested. Charges are based on distance, size and weight. Due to the high cost of shipping the minimum charge for SHIPPING AND HANDLING is $8.00. All packages are insured by UPS and damaged items will be replaced or refunded immediately by SOTA.

Cost saving methods:
Order early. Providing lead time allows for low cost shipping. Overnight shipping could quadruple shipping costs. Also, due to the hand made nature of these products, the item may actually have to be made for your order! That takes time.

Order all at once:
SOTA can ship each gift individually to your recipients but to save costs you may ask to have all the gifts sent to you directly. One box sent may cost less than two boxes half the size and weight. You may also request "flat" gift boxes for you to put together instead of each item in a box to save space.

Confidence:
Your personal information will be used for the purchase you are making and added to SOTA's mailing list. SOTA NEVER shares customer information with any other company. Please indicate if you would like not to be added to SOTA's e-mail or regular mail list.

Remember, SOTA would like to be your favorite gift store.
