All International shipping prices shown during checkout are a sum of approximate actual postage and a $5.00 International surcharge.
Does CopperGifts.com match competitors prices?
Our prices are low when you consider the quality of our cookie cutters. We use a heavier weight of copper than our competitors and we fold one side of the copper over so the cookie cutter will be extra strong, hold its shape, and be comfortable to hold in your hand. This fold also makes the cutters safe for children to use. Each of our cookie cutters are hand shaped, hand soldered and marked with our "Maker's Mark". Because of this attention to quality, we generally cannot undercut the prices of foreign made or mass-produced cookie cutters.
Does CopperGifts.com have a catalog?
Photos of our copper cookie cutters and gifts are only available on our website.
What is your return policy?
If you need to return an item, please notify us by email or telephone. You may return unused, resalable cookie cutters or other non-food merchandise within 30 days of the invoice date. We cannot accept returns of edible decorating items. We must have a copy of the invoice to process a return. We will exchange or refund, minus the initial shipping charges. The refund will be credited to your credit card.
There is a star and name impressed on my cookie cutter, what does this mean?
Each cookie cutter produced by CopperGifts.com bears a "maker's mark" impressed onto it by the artist. The maker's mark dates back to the early middle ages when metal craftsmen marked each piece they created with a distinctive symbol, much like an artist signs a finished painting. Since our process of making cookie cutter emphasizes traditional and quality workmanship, we designed our own maker's mark. The star is the traditional mark of our workshop and the word "BRAMAN" is the last name of our owner/coppersmith, Raymond Braman (When Braman is correctly pronounced, the name rhymes).
How can I tell if the cookie cutter I bought/was given is a CopperGifts.com cookie cutter?
There are several defining characteristics of a CopperGifts.com cookie cutter. First, you should look for the "maker's mark" pictured above. Cookie Cutters made from 1984 to 1998 do not carry this mark. Other characteristics, though not definitive, include a heavier gauge copper than most cookie cutters (the cutter will have less "spring" when squeezed and is less likely to lose its shape over time) and the unit is fastened together by a line of solder.
If the solder on my cookie cutter breaks; can I return it to have it repaired?
Absolutely! So far, this has never happened- even for our buyers who use them repeatedly for commercial purposes, such as bakeries, animal treats and even clay.
How can I polish my cookie cutter?
Copper cookie cutters have a tendency to tarnish with time. Tarnished cookie cutters are still safe to use with food. To restore the natural beauty we recommend Penny Brite copper cleaner. We like Penny Brite because it is non-toxic, environmentally safe, and removes tarnish instantly. Penny Brite is great for everyday, household uses. We also carry Red Bear copper cleaner. It contains stronger chemicals and comes in a dry, powdery form. Please follow directions on the container.

Are your cookie cutters safe to put in a frying pan to make pancakes?
Yes, although we recommend cast iron skillets to avoid scratching the Teflon of modern cookware.
Do you sell your items wholesale?
Only on a very limited basis and only during the first 9 months of the year. We are currently working to expand our wholesale business. We want to be able to offer this feature to more of our customers in the future. Please remember that our cutters are hand-formed and soldered. Each cutter requires special care by Coppersmith, Ray Braman. These qualities are hard to find anywhere else, especially in the many shapes and sizes categories of copper cookie cutters we make.
