Hey everyone! Super quick update today to announce that we are locking addresses next week!
Addresses will officially be locked next Wednesday, 7/1.
Once addresses lock, you will not be able to change them, and your pledge will ship to the locked address. Please be sure to update any information before next Wednesday!
Additionally, we will be sending out emails to the very small handful of folks who have either not yet completed their surveys, or had their card payments declined. Please keep an eye on your emails just in case, but this affects a VERY small portion of you all (thank you!)
We've been hard at work grading pins so far and stuff is looking SO good...we can't wait for everyone to see these up close!!
Hello hello everyone! Today we are SO excited to share that, finally...our pins have all arrived! 🎉 And holy cow, they look awesome.
Here's a quick peek at ALL of the enamel pins! Yay!!
(please note that some of these may be B-Grade, as we didn't examine each closely before snapping a quick photo to share!)
So! Many! Snackoons!!
Would you just look at those mini pins?? We're completely obsessed with how tiny and cute they are 😭 And here are the Snack Connoisseur pins, too! They are EXTREMELY shiny and very hard to photograph without getting our reflection in them....we'll figure that out eventually 🤪
Next is grading time!
Currently, our office looks like this:
Yes, we painted one of the walls Catmint green!
We've got over 5,000 individual pins to grade and package, not even mentioning all of the stickers, keychains, and other items that were part of our campaign! We're going to be working as fast as we can, but as you can imagine, being only two people, this might take a little time.
So far, we're still roughly on-schedule to ship early July. Depending on how the pins are looking, we may need a little extra time...but we'll be sure to keep everyone up to date as we learn more!
Addresses will be locking SOON!
Next week, we will be making another brief update to let you all know when exactly addresses will be locking. Keep an eye out for that!
We also will have a couple of other updates to share regarding a new Discord Server to trade Snackoons, shipping timelines, sticker previews, etc. Lots to do over here at Snackoons HQ - we appreciate all of your patience so much! As always, feel free to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.
Thanks so much everyone - be in touch again soon! 💚
Hey everyone, happy May! It's been a few weeks since our last update, so today we're excited to hop in and share some more production news with you - all good things! 🦝
Today, we can show off our Chip Bag Clips, Keychains, Sticker Sheets, and the heat-seal mystery bags ⭐
First, here are the clips! They look EXACTLY as we hoped, and are so so excited about this brand new item type that we've made. Look how cute they are chomping on the snack bag!!
With them came the acrylic keychains! We're only showing 2 designs here, but as far as we can tell, all of them do indeed look just as nice 😌
We also got our sticker sheets in! They're so colorful and glittery - can't wait to stick these everywhere honestly.
And, lastly for today, we also wanted to share a special first look at the heat-seal bags for the mystery pull pins! All pins sold post-campaign fulfillment will be surprise pulls only, too, so those will come in these. Aren't they fun! (non-surprise pull pins will come attached to backing cards, which we have yet to show off!)
Everything is moving along schedule perfectly, and we're still on-track for the proposed timeline of this project. Hooray! 🎉
The enamel pins of course take the longest to produce, but we've been getting steady (and exciting!) updates from our manufacturer on those too. We'll try and share at least one more preview of them before fulfillment starts, don't worry!
⭐ And one more reminder to please check for card charge errors! ⭐
We are unfortunately still seeing a handful of errored card charges at this point in the project. Please know that, even if you filled your survey out, if your card payment cannot be fully processed, you will not receive your pledge. We will continue to send reminders out once a week to the folks who this affects, but please take a moment to check your pledge/card to see if you're included in this grouping!
That's everything for now! It's so exciting to start seeing these little raccoons come to life...getting new merch in is always exciting, but there's something extra thrilling knowing these were helped along by you all 🥹 Thanks so much as always folks - we'll check in again soon! 💚
Hey everyone, happy April! We know it's been a minute since our last update, but we wanted to wait until we had lots to share before checking in - and today we do!
Production on all items is well underway! 🎉
We're moving along right on schedule with all items from the campaign! Delays are of course still possible at any point, but as of now, we're looking solidly on-track for our June/July shipping dates 💪 And, of course, that means we've started to get...
Pin sample photos!
How exciting is this! We're started to get sample photos for some, but not all of the enamel pins in the project. Here you can see two Snackoons pre-screenprint (Doodle & Sven), as well as a handful of the mini pins! The minis are looking SO cute 😭 Plus, our Snack Connoisseur pin before it gets its fancy gold plating! We've seen almost all of the raccoon pins at this stage, as the colors are looking great so far.
Please note that these are all photos directly from our manufacturer, and some colors may look slightly off due to the lighting provided. Accurate photos of all items will be shared once everything has come in & is reviewed in person!
We will continue to share more photos of pins & other items as we get them in!

That's all we have for today, everyone! So very excited to keep rolling with these goodies and get more sample pics in over the next few weeks. Till then, stay snacking! 🦝⭐
Hey everyone! Today we're sharing one final reminder that we are locking surveys and charging cards TOMORROW for Snackoons pledges!
❗ If you want to add or change any items in your survey, today is your last day to do so! ❗
Don't worry, you'll be able to change your address up until fulfillment time (and we'll make announcements about that when we get there!), but if you want to add or change any items in your pledge, today is the last day to do that.
96% of surveys are filled out! If you're one of the remaining stragglers...
While we would greatly appreciate if all surveys could be filled out by tomorrow, if you are one of the few folks who hasn't gotten to theirs yet, don't worry. You'll have up until fulfillment to fill yours out! There are only a small handful of pledges unaccounted for, and our aim is to have enough extras items to cover them. However, if you still have not completed your survey, PLEASE do your best to do so ASAP!
Pins are going into production! 🦝
With the closing of surveys comes the first big item order - the pins! We are so excited to get these rolling into production. Fun fact: we had to choose over 70 unique Pantone colors for this entire collection! These are some colorful lil snackers! 🥨
As always, please let us know if you have any questions about your pledge, survey, etc! We'll pop in again with some production updates (on the pins or other items!) once we have more to share. Thanks so much everyone! 🦝❤️
