FAQs
Have questions? We have answers.
Where can I apply for an account?
- Please review our terms and complete our wholesale application.
Where are your terms?
- You can review our terms on our wholesale application page. Please note that we do not allow sales on third party platforms including Etsy, Ebay, Amazon, etc.
Do you offer samples?
- You can apply for a wholesale account and include your sample requests in the box at the bottom of the application. Alternatively, once you have applied for an account, please email sample requests to wholesale@whisperingwillow.com. Either way, we will email an invoice for the wholesale cost of those samples up to a certain amount and provide a coupon code that can be used toward your first order.
Do you offer a Private Label Program?
- We do! To be a part of our Private Label Program, we ask that our partners purchase their products at wholesale cost with a minimum opening order of $5,000. Our partners are also responsible for the design (with our guidance and approval) of their labels, and the upfront cost of the run of labels. Because of the cost of label printing and initial setup, it is important that the intent is for these partnerships to be long term in order for them to be successful. Want more details? Please fill out our wholesale application indicating your interest in Private Label and send us a list of the products that are of interest. We would be happy to provide label quotes.
Do you offer Zip Code Protection?
- We do not offer Zip Code Protection at the moment as our product line is very broad. You can check to see your nearest stockist by checking our Stockist Locator on our retail site. Stockists are typically added when they place their second order and are maintained as long as they place an order every four months.
Do you sell for back of house?
- We sell bulk products for use in refilleries, spas, salons, restaurants, B&Bs, etc. These products are intended to be used in house or sold as-is. They are not intended to be repackaged & resold.

- All products are recyclable but regulations vary, so please verify locally before recycling.
- Note that not all frosted glass is recyclable. Our frosted glass is. We source bottles that are painted to appear frosted instead of chemically treated so they can be recycled.

Are all your products handmade?
- With a few small exceptions, everything you see on our website is handcrafted by Julia, Wayne, and our amazing team.
