New Stickers in the Shop!

Welcome 2021 with some glitzy fishies!

These stickers honor some of my favorite fish in the sea. First, Tiger Sharks are large requiem sharks known for the striped “tiger” markings they display as young adults. Although they have been known to attack humans, we shouldn’t take that personally—they are also known to take a bite out of anything just to see if it tastes good. Something I can sympathize with. Second, the Assorted Fish sticker sheet features four of my favorite fish—to eat! Mackerel, anchovies, sardines, and salmon are all good sources of protein and omega-3 fatty acids, and this sheet includes the web address of SeafoodWatch.org, where you can find recommendations for best buying practices for a sustainable and healthy ocean.

The tiger shark sticker is 15 cm long (that’s almost 8 inches!) and printed on shiny holographic gloss paper. It comes in two varieties, pointing left (pictured) and pointing right.

The Assorted Fish sticker sheet is A5 (5.85”x8.25”) and includes one large Atlantic Spanish Mackerel, four small white anchovies (two facing each direction), two small sardines (one each direction) and one extra large female Pink Salmon on sparkly holographic paper. Each fish is labeled and the sheet includes the web address for SeafoodWatch.org.

Need more fish? I have added a new category to the shop for all your fishy needs!

All the best,

Holiday Gift Direct-delivery – a Guide

Here are Heliopause HQ I am celebrating the holidays at home with my household due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, which has meant a lot of mailing presents. I know it is a great benefit to me when retailers offer gift wrapping and drop-shipping (delivering directly to the gift’s recipient) so I can save on time and postage when sending presents.

With that in mind I wanted to take a moment to explain how the Heliopause Webstore can do this for you! Because there still is time to order a gift online, have it wrapped up and mailed out and arrive before Christmas! You just need to place your order by 11:00 a.m. (PST) this Tuesday – December 15th. Here’s how you do it:

Step 1:

Go to the Heliopause Webstore and add the gift items to your cart. 

Step 2:

Add the item “Holiday Gift Wrap” to your cart. In the text field, list each item you want gift-wrapped, who each is “to” and who each is “from.” You only need to add “Gift Wrap” to your cart once. If you run out of room, just place the order and right after send me an email at goldeen@heliopauseweb.com with your order number and the relevant info.

Step 3:

At checkout, enter YOUR billing and contact information. Enter THE RECIPIENT’S shipping information. Unfortunately I cannot split orders across multiple addresses, but you can send presents to multiple locations simply by placing a separate order for each address. (I can personalize items to multiple people in a shared household.)

Step 4: (Optional, but recommended at Christmastime)

Choose USPS Priority as your shipping method. Most items will “fit” in the “If it fits, it ships!” option, but if you are buying a lot of books (for example) you will need to send it normal Priority Shipping. I recommend Priority at Christmastime because of the increased likelihood of delays. The most economical way to ship books is via Economy Shipping (Media Mail), but this can take up to two weeks.

Deadline for Christmas-delivery orders is Tuesday, December 15, at 11:00 a.m. PST!

My shop will be OPEN over the holidays, but orders placed after this time may not arrive before Christmas.

I hope everyone has a safe and comfy holiday, and I look forward to bringing you more art and books in 2021!

Holiday Sale at the Web Store!

Happy Thanksgiving fellow USians! It’s certainly been a wild year and I am just happy to be here at the end of it. To celebrate, there are currently several holiday specials going on at the Web Store, not least the coupon MERRYGIFT which you can enter at checkout for 15% off your entire order. That’s active now (November 26) through Tuesday, December 1. I also have gift wrapping available for free, and it will continue to be free through December 15th. I also have a couple charms on sale, since I think they make excellent presents.

Here is the link, one more time!

Note for International Friends

Currently my online store doesn’t support orders from outside the US. But I still got you: if you want to buy something, shoot me an email at goldeen@heliopauseweb.com and I can bill you via PayPal—all sales and coupons will apply! Worried about international shipping? Just give the word and I can make you a shipping estimate!

Happy Holidays everyone, and I will see you in the New Year!

Holiday Specials 2018

Greetings folks! If all the promotional emails in my inbox are anything to go by, the holidays must be upon us. Everyone’s offering discounts and bundles and stuff but here at HpP we’re doing things a little bit differently.

Starting today (November 23) and until December 16, all orders placed at the Heliopause Online Store have the option of gift wrapping and personalization at no extra charge! Just add in the notes section of your order which items are to be gift-wrapped, and what goes to who. I will confirm all personalization via email so that there are no mistakes. I can even ship gifts directly to their recipients for you!

Furthermore, from today through December 16, all purchases of $100 or more (before shipping) will receive a FREE original brush pen drawing! I usually only sell these at conventions, but just for now you can have one as a gift with a purchase of $100 or more.

My li’l original display from WorldCon—note that some of these have already sold! Yours could be a new one!

Originals will be artist choice, but the $100 can be spaced over multiple orders, provided they are all placed between November 23 and December 16 2018 (so be sure to use the same contact email and/or credit card/PayPal so I can keep track!)

To begin, just head on over to the Heliopause Online Store. Select your items and, when going through check out, add this information in the notes:

[Name of Item] add gift wrap, personalize to [name of recipient]

Do this for each item that is to be a gift. If you run out of space in the form simply send me the same information at heliopauseweb@gmail.com and reference your order number.

I WILL CONFIRM ALL ITEMS/PERSONALIZATIONS WITH YOU PRIVATELY VIA EMAIL.

If you would like me to ship a gift directly to the recipient, put their address into the “ship-to” field but use your contact info (email/tel. #). My store doesn’t support separate billing/shipping addresses, but don’t worry, it’ll go through just fine. Please also put in the note that the package is going directly to the gift-receiver.

Unfortunately I’m not yet able to split orders between recipients. You’ll have to make a separate order for each shipping destination (but presents in the shipment can be made out to different people at the same address!)

FRIENDS OUTSIDE THE U.S.! (Or friends who want to pay via PayPal!)

Square, which handles payments for my online store, doesn’t accept non-US cards—but I can still help you! Just send an email to heliopauseweb@gmail.com and include the name and quantity of the item(s) you’d like, plus gift wrapping info, the shipping address and your PayPal email. I’ll send you a bill via PayPal, which will handle the currency conversion. It will also allow you to pay with your credit/debit card, PayPal balance or bank account—all of which are handled by PayPal. One order per shipping address, please!

Once the bill is paid and the address confirmed, I’ll ship your goods! Easy-peasy!

Again, for free gift wrapping and personalization, order from the Heliopause Online Store (either direct or via email) by December 16 (that’s a Sunday)! Order $100 or more to get a free original! Also, print prices will be going up in 2019, so take advantage of them while you can!
