Spookies Safety Information & Product Care
At Spookies, every little ghost is designed and made with care. Whether you've discovered a Spookie in one of our treasure-hunt jars or purchased one from our online shop, we want you to know how to handle it safely and look after it properly.
Please read this information before handling or displaying your Spookie.
1. What are Spookies?
Spookies are small, 3D-printed decorative keepsakes designed to be collected, displayed or given as gifts.
Each Spookie begins as a digital design created using Blender and is brought to life using a 3D printer, which builds the object layer by layer. Every Spookie is assembled individually, so minor variations in appearance and surface finish may occur.
Spookies are intended as decorative keepsakes, not toys.
2. Important safety warning: Embedded magnets
WARNING: CONTAINS A MAGNET
Every Spookie contains a magnet embedded inside its head. The magnet is secured during assembly, and the base is sealed after manufacture.
Magnets can cause serious internal injuries if swallowed, particularly if more than one magnet is swallowed or a magnet is swallowed alongside a metal object.
- Keep Spookies out of reach of babies and young children.
- Never put a Spookie in your mouth or allow anyone to chew or bite it.
- Do not attempt to open a Spookie or remove its embedded magnet.
- Do not use a Spookie if it is cracked, broken or damaged, or if its magnet becomes loose, exposed or detached.
- Keep damaged Spookies away from children and dispose of them safely.
- Keep Spookies away from magnetic-sensitive medical devices and follow the device manufacturer's guidance on safe distances.
If you suspect that anyone has swallowed a magnet, seek emergency medical attention immediately, even if they appear well. Do not wait for symptoms to develop.
Although the magnet is enclosed during manufacture, damage or deterioration may compromise the enclosure. Handle your Spookie carefully and inspect it periodically.
3. Handling and care
To help keep your Spookie in good condition, please follow these guidelines.
Handle with care. Spookies are small decorative objects. Dropping them, bending them or applying excessive force may cause them to crack or break.
Check for damage. Inspect your Spookie periodically. If it develops cracks, sharp edges, loose pieces or any other damage, stop handling it and keep it away from children and pets.
Keep it away from heat. Do not leave Spookies on radiators, near heaters, in direct contact with hot surfaces or inside a hot vehicle. Excessive heat may deform the plastic or affect the adhesive securing internal components.
Keep it dry. Avoid soaking your Spookie or exposing it to excessive moisture. Do not put it in a dishwasher.
Clean gently. If necessary, wipe your Spookie with a soft, slightly damp cloth and allow it to dry completely.
Keep away from flames. Do not place Spookies near candles, open flames or other sources of intense heat.
Do not modify. Do not cut, drill, melt, force open or otherwise alter your Spookie. Doing so may expose the embedded magnet or create sharp edges and loose components.
4. Materials and manufacturing
Spookies are manufactured using filament-based 3D printing. The material used may vary between designs, colours and releases.
Please consult the relevant product listing for any material-specific information.
Visible print layers, small surface marks and minor variations in finish may occur as a result of the manufacturing process.
Each Spookie is assembled with an embedded magnet and a sealed base. However, no adhesive or enclosure should be assumed to remain intact if a product is damaged or subjected to excessive force.
5. Display and storage
Spookies are designed to be displayed as decorative keepsakes.
- Place them on a stable surface where they cannot easily fall or be stepped on.
- Keep them away from babies and young children.
- Store them securely when not on display.
- Keep them away from pets, who may chew or swallow small objects.
- Be mindful of the embedded magnet when storing or displaying your Spookie near magnetic-sensitive devices.
Spookies are not intended for use as children's playthings.

Please take care when opening the jar and removing its contents. The jar, stickers, packaging and any small components should be kept away from babies and young children.
Please do not enter private property, climb structures or put yourself or others at risk while looking for Spookies. Always respect local property, public spaces and the people around you.

7. If a Spookie is damaged

If a magnet becomes exposed or detached, do not allow anyone to handle or play with it.
