Hi friends,

Surveys have been officially sent out to all backers! Please fill them out entirely and complete payment for shipping and any add-ons. Surveys are set to close on May 14. You’ll still be able to complete the surveys after that, but inventory will be based on surveys completed by the deadline, so lock in your orders now!

Payments have processed for your initial pledge amount. If your payment failed, don't worry. You'll have a chance to update everything in the survey. There are still some outstanding payments, so if that's you, check your card - we don't want you to miss out on the campaign rewards!

Reminder about all free items in any pledge from throughout this project: You must successfully fill out your survey and pay for the final shipping costs by December 31, 2025 to receive your pledge and any free rewards! If you fail to pay for your final shipping costs before then, you will not receive your rewards.

For those that missed out on pledging to the campaign, the Pre-Order Store is now open! There’s all sorts of goodies listed in addition to all the unlocked campaign designs. There’s even some highly requested restocks you can help us unlock. Check it out here! (If you pledged to the campaign, you have access to all the items listed in the pre-order store in your survey as add-ons.)

We are overwhelmed by the support for our first ever crowdfunding campaign. Thank you doesn’t seem like enough! We hope you know how much we appreciate you supporting a small queer-owned business like ours, especially when shops like ours need it most.

Over the next couple weeks, you can expect to receive a survey via email where you'll choose which designs you want, provide your shipping address, purchase any additional add-ons, and pay for your shipping fees. We will send out a campaign update when the surveys go out so that you don't miss it.

We will have all of the pins, stickers, and accessories offered in the campaign as well as some other queer/bookish goodies available for you to add-on to your pledge. The Pre-Order Store will also open when surveys go out for those who missed out on pledging to the campaign.

Payments have begun processing for your initial pledge amount. If your payment failed, don't worry! You'll have multiple chances to update your card information before surveys are sent out. You'll also have a chance to update everything in the survey. There will be plenty of opportunities to make sure you get your rewards before the whole project closes for good on December 31, 2025.

Reminder about all free items in any pledge from throughout this project: You must successfully fill out your survey and pay for the final shipping costs to receive your pledge and any free rewards! If you fail to pay for your final shipping costs, you will not receive your rewards.

You will be able to change your shipping address up until your survey is closed. After the lock down date, if you need to update your shipping address, please email [email protected], and we can manually update your shipping address. Please let us know as soon as possible that you need to update your address so we can change the address before your package is sent. If you fail to notify us of an address change and your package is returned to us, you will incur additional shipping charges before it can be resent. You will receive a last call email for address changes before we start shipping packages.

We want to thank you again for bringing the Rainbow Bookshop collection to life! We couldn't do it without you.

Hi friends!

With just 24 hours left until the campaign ends, we wanted to pop in with some updates.

Our final pin design stretch goal has been unlocked all the way from the Truffula Forest! We're so excited we got to make the full collection we set out to make with your support. Thank you for pledging!

With that in mind, we have one final stretch goal for the final 24 hours. If we make it to $10,000 by the time the campaign ends, we will include a FREE bookish heart sticker sheet featuring eight mini stickers in every single pledge order no matter when you pledged! Want to update your pledge to help unlock the sticker sheet? Check out some of our featured add-ons below! We don't plan on stocking many extras at this time, so make sure you don't miss out.

Add-ons!
We wanted to take these final hours to feature some of our favorite as well as our most popular add-ons. You can add these items to your pledge in the Add-ons tab.

In the spirit of celebration, we are excited to reveal the two mystery pin poll winners: The Book Was Better and Booktrovert. Fancy a little mystery? Receive one of eight bookish conversation heart designs in our blind bag add-on! Pins are .75" gold metal hard enamel with glitter and printed details.

Introducing Pin Buddies! ✨ Our magnetic pin backers that allow you to display pins of all sizes on any magnetic surface.

Small Pin Buddies are slightly smaller in diameter than a standard rubber pin backer. Great for small pins and medium-sized pins with multiple posts.

Large Pin Buddies feature a loop that also allows you to hang your pins for display. Great for pins of all sizes. Features a strong magnet especially useful for larger/heavier fantasy pins with multiple posts.

Rainbow Bookshop Tote for carrying your book haul and even displaying your pins!

In 24 hours when the campaign ends, your card will be charged for your pledge level and any add-ons you chose. In the next two weeks, you can expect to receive a survey via email where you'll choose which designs you want, provide your shipping address, purchasing any additional add-ons, and pay for your shipping fees. We will send out a campaign update when the surveys go out so that you don't miss it.
