5 out of 5 starsI've written so many reviews for this shop now that it's ridiculous, but I just can't get enough. Anytime I need to find a gift for someone, this is my first stop. Everything is so great, and the owner is super responsive and great to work with!

5 out of 5 starsI absolutely love this Nic Cage oven mitt! Great quality; it's exactly what you'd find at a home store but makes a much larger statement! Thanks Sonia!

Taking over the world, one oven mitt at a time
For years I have been making my own novelty print dresses, and I get a lot of requests for custom dresses. Every body is different, so I decided to try making something I didn’t have to fit to people: an oven mitt! I posted the photo on social media and received an overwhelmingly positive response, so I opened my Etsy shop in the beginning of 2016. Since then, my business has grown exponentially, allowed me to quit my day job, and travel all over the world selling my mitts!

Assistant, Customer Service
Spock is a large part of our social media face, and handles the day-to-day customer service inquiries. He is more attentive when you have chicken, though.

Link supervises all business operations. He isn’t very hands-on, but oversees everything from atop his cat tree. He mostly boosts morale, except when he fights with Spock once in a while.

Shipping
Please double check your shipping address before finalizing your order. I am not responsible for incorrect addresses, or delays due to shipping to an incorrect address.
All orders will receive tracking numbers.
I will do my best to ship out all orders as soon as possible but this holiday season I am also traveling to multiple comic cons so please refer to the shipping timeline on the item you ordered to get an idea of how quickly it will ship. Reach out to me if you have any questions!
For international orders:
Unfortunately I cannot guarantee delivery by any specific holiday. Sometimes international shipments arrive in less than a week, sometimes it takes three months, so this holiday season I cannot guarantee delivery for Chanukah, Christmas, or any other holiday. I will do my best to ship your order out as soon as I can but I cannot control the speed of global post.
