All pledges with completed surveys and shipping payment have been fulfilled! ๐
As of Friday, October 2, all orders have been shipped. We're so excited to get these frogs to their new homes. Most of y'all may already have them in your hands! We hope you'll share photos and tag us.
Thank you for shopping small and supporting a queer-owned small business with your pledge. We couldn't do this without y'all and we are so grateful for you making this BackerKit such a success! We are extra grateful for your patience as we worked on creating the best possible product for you.
What's next! ๐๐ธ๐๐พ
We have a few projects coming up this season including one pre-order store open! We hope you'll check them out.
We're restocking our sold out hockey lover enamel pins along with some new goodies for fellow loons. ๐ This project's Pre-Order Store is open through 10/21 ONLY! All levels unlocked during the campaign so there's lots to choose from including a few new goodies added just to the pre-order store.
Ready for gift-giving season? Shop special bundles of enamel pins, stickers, plush, and more. These products are all in-hand and will ship out once the campaign concludes. Shop small this holiday! Launching November 18, 2026.
Ready to start the Next Level? This is the follow up to our Level Up campaign featuring a collection of even more nostalgically bookish inspired enamel pins! Launching January 21, 2027.

Our Frog Friends have finally finished their journey and made their way to us! These will start shipping this week and we hope to finish before the end of next week.
This morning, you received a BackerKit email notification that addresses will be locked down in 48 hours. This is your last chance to make any updates to your address before we ship out your order. Any returned packages needing reshipment will be charged for a new label, so make sure to double check, please!
Thanks again so much for hanging in there while we waited on these to finish production! They're so cute and fluffy and we can't wait for them to make a new home with y'all.
Just a quick update to let y'all know that the frogs are en route and should arrive to us in September! They're taking a leisurely sea cruise here so we expect them to be here by the end of the month, at which point we will QC them and prep them to make their way home to you.
We did make one small change to the final product - the key rings are now colors that match each frog! We did this mainly because the gold rings from the original mockup had sharp edges and little space inside to clip comfortably where you wanted them. The new colors are super cute and have softer edges and a wider opening making them easier to attach and wear.
We'll check back next month when our frog friends finish their vacation!
Apologies for it being so long since you last heard from us. Life has been...*gestures wildly*. I'm sure you know the feeling these days. ๐ Not to worry, work has been moving along in the meantime. And as a matter of fact, production for our fuzzy Frog Friends is complete!
Check out the photos direct from the production line!
Frogs are currently being processed to ship out in the next week or so. Typically the shipping can take about thirty days. We are checking to see how much that can be expedited as we know you've waited long enough!
Thank you so much for your patience and confidence in us as we brought these to life. We'll check back soon with shipping details.
Some orders are ready to ship! About 45% of orders are set to ship on schedule within the next week or so. These are orders that contain pins, stickers, keychains, and/or patches only. (Details on the plush charms below). We're so excited to get these designs to their new homes. We hope you'll share photos and tag us as you display your Frog Friends.
Friends with orders being shipped in this batch only: You received an email yesterday reminding you this is the last chance to make any updates to your shipping address. Addresses will be locked tomorrow (April 24) morning to be processed for shipping.
If your order contains a plush charm, it is now set to ship this summer. Here's why:
As we mentioned during the campaign, we continued working on refining the face mold from the original sample featured in the project. While this took slightly longer than projected, we've ended up with a face mold that we are super happy with thanks to the help of our experienced manufacturer. You can get a peek at the process above.
To let you in on the process a little more, here's where we're currently at (complete with updated timeline):
Plush charm bulk production scheduled for May
Bulk process takes about 45 days
Shipping takes about 25-30 days
As a result, we expect the plush to arrive in hand by the end of July. Once they arrive, the final orders will be sent out - hopefully within the first half of August.
Current Projected Timeline (Updated 4/23/26) April 2026 - Orders containing pins, stickers, keychains, and/or patches only packed and shipped. (Orders not containing plush charms.) April 2026 - Plush charm sample refinement complete May 2026 - Plush charm bulk production begins June 2026 - Plush charms ship to us July/August 2026 - Plush charms arrive; Packing and shipping completed September 30, 2026 - Project fully closed and rewards are no longer provided
We appreciate your patience as we work hard to create the best possible fluffy frog friend for you to take home! We really can't wait to get these to you.
