Giving Back
Monthly Raffles
We are proud to donate a proceeds of every purchase to great and deserving causes each month. It is thanks to your support that we are able to do this! We have started gathering donations in a raffle format: a proceed of each purchase is added to the donation pool, as well as individual donations made by you! At the end of the month, we will pick a winner from the raffle to win a pair of earrings / gift card / etc.
In order to enter the raffle you can:
- make a purchase at OBD
- add a donation while you checkout (this will enter you twice, once for the purchase and once for the extra donation)
- send a donation to @opheliabydesign on Venmo
- message or email me for other ways to donate!
For the month of August, Ophelia by Design giving back to:
Allies In Arts
"Allies in Arts is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Our mission is to support artists who are womxn, BIPOC, and LGBTQQIA2S — all of whom are underrepresented individuals in creative industries.
Artists from our communities face barriers as a direct result of race, gender, sex, and sexual orientation. We seek to break down those barriers by awarding grants, curating exhibitions and screenings, and connecting artists with the decision-makers who can hire them." - Allies in Arts homepage

Earrings for every occasion!
Of course our primary focus has always been handmade earrings, and we certainly have a pair of earrings for every occasion! We have plenty of holiday-themed earrings available, but also earrings that can be worn all year round which really do make perfect gifts!
New in 2022: apparel!
We've added apparel to this mix later this year and I am LOVING the results! These sweatshirts & long sleeve shirts are perfect for your loved ones who are in to spooky vibes all year long, magical things, and well...cats (at least for the Ophelia sweatshirt).
Tote Bags!
Treat yourself, or a loved one, to a tote bag! These bags are made of 100% sturdy canvas, measure about 15.75" square, and feature some of my favorite design pieces! Treat Yourself is a great motto and reminder for someone who enjoys doing a little shopping, Poison Petal is a funky and bold design for your badass friend, and Hagrid's Hut features the sweetest design every Harry Potter fan will adore.
*Poison Petal totes will restock the weekend of November 26th*
Stickers!
Looking for something small and inexpensive to put in a stocking, card, or little gift? Stickers are the answer! We currently have over 10 designs to choose from in a variety of themes, colors, and sizes! All of our stickers are vinyl and meant to last (perfect for laptops, water bottles, etc). Only a few of our designs are pictured here!
Gift Cards!
Last but not least, we have gift cards! These digital gift cards will be emailed to you (or whoever's email you input) immediately after purchase! These gift cards make great stocking stuffers, fold nicely into a small box, and of course are perfect for last minute gifting! Scroll down to view gift card options.
