Dandelion Dust Creations

We make nine double-wall acrylic cups: the 470 ml can tumbler (R 180, in six lid and straw colours), the 590 ml tumbler with a clear or bamboo lid (R 200), the 710 ml tumbler (R 250), the 1.2 litre tumbler with a handle (R 300), the 350 ml (R 180), 450 ml (R 200) and 650 ml (R 220) cups, and the 300 ml children’s cup with a flip-straw lid (R 200, in four lid colours). Add a decal from the gallery, or your name, for R 30, or keep it a plain glitter cup. Silicone tumbler lids that fit the 470 ml can and the 590 ml tumblers are R 40 each.

Each cup holds tinted shimmer liquid, glitter and tiny charms sealed between its double acrylic walls, so your drink never touches them. Give the cup a gentle shake and the glitter swirls around your decal, then slowly settles again.

Every cup is made by hand after your payment is confirmed, and a newly made cup needs at least 3 days to settle before it ships. Your order is delivered to your door, or ready to collect from your Pudo locker, within 14 days of payment.

We deliver to all of South Africa with The Courier Guy. At checkout you choose between delivery to your door, collection from a Pudo locker near you (usually cheaper), or the Pudo locker saver: the cheapest option, which may take a day or two longer. You see the price of each before you pay. If you pick a locker, you get an SMS and email with a PIN when your parcel is ready to collect. See shipping & returns for the details.

Yes, to Namibia. Choose Namibia as the country at checkout and pay for your cups as usual. Then choose how it gets to you: Marianne emails you a delivery quote (paid separately by EFT before she sends it), or you or your own courier collect it from her. Any import VAT or charges in Namibia are yours. We don’t send to other countries at the moment.

Yes. Every cup comes in its own box with a care card and a thank-you note. If it’s a gift, write your message in the “Note for Marianne” box at checkout and she will pop a handwritten note in the box. Delivering straight to the lucky person? Use their address and a Pudo locker near them.

Email [email protected] with your order number as soon as you can and we will do our best. Because every cup is made to order after payment, we can’t promise a change once Marianne has started on it, and made-to-order cups can’t be returned for a change of mind. If anything arrives faulty or broken, we will always make it right.

Cups built in the wish workshop are made to order, so they can’t be returned for a change of mind, only if they leak or are faulty in another way. Silicone lids can be returned within 7 days of delivery under ECTA’s cooling-off right. If a cup arrives broken, send us photos within 48 hours and we will replace it. The details are on shipping & returns.

Payments are processed securely by PayFast, a South African payment gateway. You pay on PayFast’s secure page, so we never see or store your card details.

Yes. Choose any decal from the gallery or add a name in the wish workshop. For a design that is completely your own, send Marianne a message through the contact form and she will design it with you. She will email you a quote with banking details, and you pay by EFT. Making the decal takes about 3 working days.

• Hand-wash only: with warm water and a mild dish soap.
• Not for the dishwasher: the high heat and strong water pressure can damage the cup.
• Don’t microwave or freeze it: extreme heat or cold can damage it.
• Avoid dropping or knocking it: this can crack or damage the outer snowglobe layer.
• Store it upright: when you’re not using it.
• Keep it out of strong heat and direct sunlight: long exposure can cause fading or damage.
• Shake gently before each use: to spread the glitter for that perfect sparkle.
• Cold drinks only: unless stated otherwise.
• It’s permanently sealed: please don’t try to open, puncture or tamper with the snowglobe layer.

You may notice tiny specks or a fine misty layer inside the snowglobe layer. That’s completely normal: the little bubbles are sealed in and don’t affect your cup. They’re part of the magic of a real handmade snowglobe.
