Q: How do I know which OM to order?

A: It’s not easy. If it's a gift for someone dear we recommend reading through their stories, sometimes this helps with making a selection. In some cases, the OM seems to choose you. Either way, there are no bad choices, they're all wonderful!

Q: When I purchase an OM, what does it come with?

A: Each ceramic OM comes with an individual story of their own. Each OM has a name, a quirk, a story and something that makes it unique and unforgettable, and utterly collectible. They come packaged sitting on a small cardboard coaster with their story on a 3"x5" card. Some come with their own specific profile story, others come with a short origin story. The story cards make nice keepsakes.

Q: What are your ceramic OMs made of, and are they safe for children?

A: OMs are made from clay, painted with acrylic paints and then shellacked with non-toxic lacquer. They are extremely durable. With that said, we caution that they are not toys and are not intended for children five and under. (though they do love them!). For children ages 1 to 101 we recommend our Plush OMs, they are perfect for any age.

Q: I really want a collection! Which OMs are the best to begin with ?

A: Our OM collection is rather large and growing all the time, but if you can't purchase all the OMs at once, any amount is a good place to begin. Collect by color, season or connection.

Q: What is the list of “Connections”?

A: The list of Connections can help you search for OMs. Think of Connections as “Categories”.

Q: How long after I order will I receive my OM? And do you have a rush option?

A: Our OMs are generally made to order so they can sometimes take a week before they're shipped out. Our shipments usually go out on Thursdays.
