Happy Friday everyone! Not a huge update today, but we just had to make some time to say...
THANK YOU!! 🦝❤️
Snackoons was such a success and we are simply blown away by the response to these little guys! Some fun final stats for y'all:
⭐ We had a final total of 560 backers!! Holy WOW! ⭐ You all ordered nearly 2000 Snackoons pins - that's a LOT of snacks! ⭐ We unlocked a total of 55 unique items in this collection (including the mini pins) - absolutely AMAZING!
❗Don't forget to check your credit cards! ❗
Pledge payments have already begun to be processed! We've noticed some folks who have had failed payments, so this is our first formal reminder to please double-check the cards you used for your pledge!
Backerkit allows two weeks for a failed card payment to be corrected. ⭐ It is very important that you make these corrections as soon as possible! ⭐ If your payment is failed and misses the grace period, your pledge will unfortunately not be counted and you will not receive your items - which will, of course, also affect the total amount we raised!
🦝 Next steps 🦝
As cards continue to work to be processed and funds start trickling in, we will be working on surveys! We've got a bit of work to do there, but our aim is to have them all set up & sent out as soon as possible. These surveys will be how you choose which specific items you receive!
We'll keep you all updated on the status of the surveys, and make another announcement when they start to go out.
That's about all we have for today! Thank you again so, so much for making our first Pintopia (and first Backerkit project) such a success - we literally couldn't have done it without all of you! 🦝❤️
Hi folks! Can you believe we are somehow already at the 48 hours (ish) left mark for Pintopia? 🙀
Remember that while the project is live, you can still adjust your pledge level, add on extra items to your pledge, & spread the word about the campaign. The more snackers we have, the better! ❤️
As a reminder, this campaign will be the only time you can choose your own Snackoon pins! ⭐
While we will have extras in our shop later this year, the pins will be available as mystery bag pulls only. So if there are any specific designs you want to collect, be sure to add enough pins to your pledge now to get them!
And don't forget to check out all of the other amazing Pintopia projects!
If you haven't yet, take a moment to browse the "Projects We Love" section on our campaign page to peek at just a few of the other amazing Pintopia campaigns out there! ❤️ We specially curated this list based on creators we know & love, as well as things we think fans of Snackoons might enjoy.

We continue to be at a loss for words for how grateful we are for the growth of this campaign 🥹 Thanks to you all, we've managed to unlock 12 Snackoons pins, stickers & keychains for each character, bag clips, & additional enamel pins! That is SUCH a huge amount of stuff for this collection and we couldn't be more thrilled 🎉
Soon after the campaign ends, we'll get started on surveys & all of that other fun stuff. We'll see you all again real soon! 🦝❤️
Thank you all for voting on Twist the Pretzel Snackoon to be the second clip design (though goodness was it close)! The Acrylic Clipswill be 3" wide (nice & large to hold chip bags closed!) and made of two acrylic pieces each (same art on both sides). If you don't need them for bags, they'll work well as binder or journal clips, too!
We also had so much fun finishing up the Snack Connoisseur Pins! 🙌 These designs will be 2" tall and plated with shiny, gold hard enamel. Use them to proudly show your favorite kind of snack! 😤
Can you all believe the project ends in just one week? (Well, technically less than a week now, actually!) We are still so blown away by the support and can't get over how far this project has come.
Because the project has already gotten so large, we have decided that we won't be adding any more stretch goals at this point! We've already got even more items in the collection than we anticipated being able to make, and for that we are so very grateful. To keep ourselves sane & able to handle fulfillment when the project ends, we're going to restrain ourselves & hold off on any more new things....
....for now 👀
We are truly having the best time coming up with ideas for this collection, and absolutely plan to expand it in the future. So don't worry - if your favorite snack didn't make it into this set, there's certainly a chance it may make an appearance later on! 😉
Until then, remember to pick up any new Add-Ons you might like before the project ends! ❤️ We'll be in touch at least one more time before the campaign closes. Happy snacking everyone! ❤️🦝🥨
Hey everyone! Thank you all so much for voting in our latest poll for new Snackoons items. It was sooo close throughout the voting period, but at the end, the winner was....
⭐ Acrylic Chip Bag Clips! ⭐
"Potato Flavored"...yum
We're so excited about these! What you see here is a rough mockup of the clip design. As promised, the first Snackoon featured on these clips will be Crisp, the Potato Chip Snackoon! Attached to this update is a poll to help us choose who the second clip design will be! 🦝
Chip Bag Clips will be available as Add-Ons later this week! ❤️
Once the results of the poll come in, we'll make an official Add-On (and maybe Pledge Level?) for the Chip Clips! Product specs will be available at that time too.
But wait....we have a surprise 👀
Because that poll was so close for nearly the entire duration it was posted, we decided to go ahead and also get started on the runner-up. Which means....Salty & Sweet Snack Connoisseur Pins will also be available!🎉
Currently, these are still a work in progress! The basic idea & layout is shown here, but we'll be adding color, shifting some details, and getting some hand-lettering in as we finalize the designs. These pins will ALSO be available as Add-Ons later this week!
Our goal with these items is to try and get all of our remaining add-ons finished up at once, so by the end of the week, everyone who wants them can adjust their pledges just one more time! We'll definitely be making an update once everything is ready to go, so keep an eye out 👀
Until then, don't forget to vote for the second Chip Clip Snackoon, and enjoy your weeks everyone! Thanks so much for helping us expand this collection with such fun items! ❤️🥨🦝
Hey folks! Today we're so excited to show off the finalized designs of the newest four Snackoons!
Say hello to Jumble, Zest, Sven, and Junior! 🎉✨🐟🍃
Sven the Candy Fish Snackoon and Junior the Choco Mint Snackoon were voted on by you all, and we couldn't be happier with the results! We think these four really round out the whole crew.
Snack Fiend Stickers & Mini Keychains for all four new Snackoons will now be available! If you want to add any additional pins, stickers, or keychains to your pledge, you can do so now. You'll be able to select the specific styles (characters) you want when surveys go out at the end of the campaign!
We've also finalized the new Sticker Sheet add-on, which you can see here! These can also be added now to any new or existing pledges ❤️
So, what's next? 🤔
We want your opinions on what new item should be next on our list! We have three main ideas and we'd love to get to all, but in case time and/or funds get away from us, we want to hear what our backers are most interested in!
Our three main ideas are:
⭐ "Salty/Sweet Snack Connoisseur" Enamel Pins ⭐ - hard enamel "award style" pins to show your love for snacks! Two styles total
⭐ Acrylic Chip Bag Clip(s) ⭐ - acrylic clips featuring Crisp the Potato Chip Snackoon, meant to hold closed chip bags! Possibly add a second style option (Twist the Pretzel Snackoon?)
⭐ Salty/Sweet Lanyards ⭐ - lanyard designs featuring patterns of either salty snacks, or sweet snacks! Two styles total
Vote in the attached poll and tell us which item you're most interested in seeing next!
We can't thank you all enough for the support on this project! Happy snacking ❤️🥨🦝
