How does free shipping work?

Free shipping starts at a merchandise subtotal of $120 CAD in Canada, $120 USD in the US or $120 AUD in Australia, after all discounts and before shipping and taxes. A discount can bring an order below the threshold. The threshold applies to one delivery address per order; separate orders cannot be combined to qualify. We cannot split one order across multiple addresses.

We ship only to the US, Canada and Australia, with no duties or tariffs. Pickup is not available. Final shipping options and charges are shown at checkout.

When will my preorder ship, and can I add items?

The estimated shipping window is shown on each preorder product page. It is an estimate of when your order ships, followed by transit time, rather than a guaranteed arrival date. If your order contains in-stock items and preorders, it ships together when all items are ready.

While your preorder is waiting to ship, contact us with your order number to add items to that preorder with no additional shipping cost, or to correct the shipping address. Please contact us before fulfilment; changes cannot be guaranteed once processing has started.

Can I change an incorrect shipping address?

Check the delivery address, apartment/unit number and postal code before checkout. The billing address does not change the shipping address. If you spot an error, contact us immediately with your order number and correct address. For a waiting preorder, we can help update the address before fulfilment. Customers are responsible for entering the correct delivery address. If an incorrect or incomplete address causes a parcel to be returned, the customer is responsible for the shipping cost to send it again. Please contact us before dispatch so we can help correct an error; once dispatched, address changes or interception cannot be guaranteed.

What gift packaging is available?

The optional Gift Packaging / Shipping Box Upgrade replaces our usual polymailer with a sturdy brown outer shipping box, Joeydolls-branded tissue and tape. It adds protection and a thoughtful presentation; there is no separate decorative or keepsake box inside. Select the upgrade in your cart when available and check that it appears in your order summary.

For a bundle, check its inclusions: packaging already listed as included does not need to be added again. A digital gift card is delivered by email and does not need packaging.

How do I report a problem with my order?

Please contact us promptly with your order number, the affected item, a description of the problem and clear photos of the item and packaging for missing, incorrect or damaged items. Keep the packaging while we review the issue. For a parcel marked delivered, first check around your home and with neighbours or building staff.

Optional Shipping Protection claims must be reported within 14 days of the delivery date in tracking, or within 30 days of the estimated delivery date if tracking never shows delivery. See the coverage and claim instructions. For other delivery issues, see our Shipping Policy and contact our team.

How do I use my welcome discount?

Your 10% VIP welcome code is emailed to you for your first eligible order and applies to products in our Full Price Products collection, with one use per customer. The current welcome offer has a minimum eligible merchandise subtotal of US$75 (or the checkout-currency equivalent). The current emailed welcome offer applies to one-time purchases only; preorders using a selling plan are excluded. It cannot be combined with another discount code or an automatic discount promotion. Check the eligible products, expiry and combination rules in your code email, then enter the code at checkout before paying. If a code does not apply, check those terms and contact us with the code and a screenshot.

Discounts can reduce the subtotal below the free-shipping threshold. A promotional gift or bundle offer may have its own eligibility and combination rules; check the final order summary before payment.

Food is culture

Bring a little piece of home along on a backpack, lunch bag or tote. Unclip the charm for a soft plush play companion.

Make room for imagination

Open a pretend café, pack a picnic or serve a favourite treat to your Joeydoll. One familiar food can start a whole new story.

Soft, squishy, full of personality

A plush little treat to squeeze, hold and carry. See the size and care details above for this Food Pal.

Share the story behind the food

Talk about when your family enjoys it, who makes it and the memories it brings back. Discover your friends’ favourites, too.

Soft plush with a removable clip. Use the clip to attach your Food Pal to a bag, or detach it for storytelling and pretend play.

One Food Pals Vietnamese Bánh Mì: Plush Bag Charm included. The complete six-design Food Pals Bundle is sold separately. Dolls and other accessories are sold separately.

When will this item restock?

Confirmed restock estimates appear on this product page when available. If no date is shown, it has not been confirmed. “Notify me when available” sends a stock alert; it does not reserve an item. A preorder’s shipping window is shown separately above.

Why choose a Food Pal?

Food can carry family memories, traditions and a sense of home. Food Pals make those stories easy to share through a small plush companion: familiar to some children, a chance to discover something new for others.

How can we use Food Pals in play?

Detach the clasp and open a pretend café, pack a doll picnic or let your child serve their favourite Joeydoll a treat. Ask who they would share it with, what they would order and whether your family has tried the real food. Food Pals are plush toys, not food.

Who are Food Pals for?

Children who enjoy pretend play, families sharing food traditions, and teens or grown-ups who love collecting bag charms. A meaningful small gift for birthdays, cultural celebrations or a favourite food lover. Food Pals are for ages 3+ and contain small parts; they are not suitable for children under 3.

How can I clip on or detach my Food Pal?

Use the removable clasp to attach your Food Pal to a compatible backpack, lunch bag or tote loop. Detach the clasp for a soft plush companion, a pretend café or a doll picnic. One individual listing includes one Food Pal with its clasp; dolls, bags and other props are sold separately. Food Pals contain small parts and are for ages 3+, not children under 3.

Can I bring all six home together?

Yes. Our Food Pals six-piece bundle includes Mooncake, Taiyaki, Halo-Halo, Boba, Bánh Mì and Bingsu. Start with a favourite or explore the complete collection together.

Why choose the Food Pals bundle instead of one charm?

The six-piece set brings together one each of Chinese Mooncake, Japanese Taiyaki, Filipino Halo-Halo, Taiwanese Boba, Vietnamese Bánh Mì and Korean Bingsu. Make a bigger pretend café menu, give each doll a different treat, share food traditions or divide the set into six individual gifts. Each Food Pal has a removable clasp for bags or plush play. The bundle section above compares the current local price of the set with buying all six individually; prices and savings can vary by market.

What is Vietnamese bánh mì, and what inspired this Food Pal?

Bánh mì is a Vietnamese sandwich made with a light, crispy baguette filled with savory vegetables, fresh herbs, and proteins.

Food Pals turn familiar cultural foods into soft, playful bag charms designed to celebrate food, memory and heritage. Each design connects a cute collectible format with cultural representation.

How can a Food Pal be used for play or learning?

Each Food Pal has a removable clip, so it can be used as a small plush for storytelling or cultural activities and reattached to a compatible bag or accessory for everyday use.

Where can we use it?

You can clip a Food Pal to a backpack, lunch bag, pencil case, diaper bag or travel bag. Food Pals can also be included in classroom reward baskets. Detach the clip for plush play. Food Pals are for ages 3 and up. They contain small parts, including the detachable clip, and are not suitable for children under 3.

Can Food Pals be paired with other Joeydolls items?

Yes. Food Pals make easy add-on gifts alongside cultural dolls, books, stickers and other Food Pals.

Children playing together with their Joeydolls

Play with purpose

What I wished for as a child, made for yours

Growing up, I never had a doll that looked like me or celebrated where my family came from. When I became a mom and still couldn't find one for my daughter, we made them. Every Joeydoll is designed with cultural care, so more children can see themselves, their families and their traditions in everyday play.
