Answers:
Do you have group rate or classroom packages?
The Trophy Hands & Kids Hand statue kits are available for purchase at group bulk rate pricing (16 or more) for class projects, scout groups, mommy & me clubs, daycares, church organizations, etc.
["For Profit" groups and resellers, please purchase from our Case Pack or Bulk Supplies category. Containers for bulk supplies can be made available for purchase upon request.]
Group rate pricing includes a molding container and individually packaged molding powder and casting stone per person. A master set of directions is also included. Pricing is based on quantity and can be as low as 60% less than the retail kit. Free shipping does not apply to group packages. Contact Us for a quote: please include the name of your organization, quantity and shipping zip code.
If neither the Trophy Hands nor Kids Hand kit style castings would meet your needs, Contact Us with details regarding what you need and we will work with you on a custom order.

Can I send a kit directly to my friend as a gift? Do you gift wrap?
Any order can be sent to a separate shipping address as long as you provide an accurate billing address when paying by credit card and yes, we offer gift wrapping service. At the time you add an item to your shopping cart, you will have the option to choose gift wrapping as a service with any single complete kit and most bundle packs. Our gift wrapping consists of high quality white gift wrap paper with either white, gold or bronze ribbon.
Things to Note: The gift card states A Casting Keepsakes Gift for You on the front side and because kits are sent for several types of occasions, only your exact message will be written on the other side. If gift wrapping was not chosen and you entered a gift message during checkout, your message will be printed on the packing slip.
To send to an alternate address: When you are first filling out the order information during checkout, use your billing address. Then, if you would like to send your purchase directly to another address, simply (a) use the "Change Address" button on the Delivery Information Page to add a new shipping address and then (b) add your gift message to the "Add Comments About Your Order" section located at the bottom of that same page (if desired). Orders cannot be split between addresses; the entire order will be sent to the shipping address only.

We offer discounted pricing for many of our complete kits in our Case Packs category, which are available to anyone purchasing online. If the kit you are interested in is not listed as a case pack and you would like to purchase it at discounted pricing, please contact us by email with your business, nonprofit, hospital or school information etc. Please note that some of our kits are not labeled for retail sales. If this is a concern, please contact us to find out if your kit of interest is labeled as such.
If you need materials to do several of your own castings or to provide a casting service, then check out our Party Packs or Bulk Materials categories. In general, considering the free shipping on orders over $99, U.S. customers save 50-75% when purchasing the largest bundle pack, party pack, or bulk materials option(s).
If you are a nonprofit, hospital or school organization and would like info on custom packaging (or custom kits) at bulk rate pricing, please contact us.
Although we do not currently have a kit that is labeled as a pet kit at this time, both the Clay Keepsake Kits and the 3D Life Casting Kits may be used for pets. For the clay kits, follow the directions included as they are the same for both pets and children. For the life casting kits, the Infant Hand Casting Kit works well for small dogs and cats, the Child Hand Casting Kit for medium dogs and the Trophy Hands kit for large dogs. The Impressive Memories shadow box kits are also available for a framed impression of any size pet.
In addition to the directions provided with life casting kits, we suggest inserting the paw to the bottom of the cup, then rotating the cup 1/2 turn and finally, pulling the paw back up about 1 inch. This will help get the fur going the "right" direction.
Other important information: The molding material does not generally stick to short fur and therefore nothing other than getting the paw wet before hand is necessary. However, as a preventative measure and certainly for longer-haired dogs, cooking oil or pretroleum jelly can be used to prevent the material from sticking. Keep in mind, however, that whatever you put on you pet's paw will most likely be licked off by your pet afterwards so be sure it is something safe for them to ingest.
