Your actual,
thoughtful gift.

A small keepsake or a gift card for their next chapter. No mints or food are included.

You provide the gift. We provide the box.

A VERY SILLY IDEA. THOUGHT THROUGH.

The details make the joke.

An absurdly specific send-off.

The imaginary mints are aimed at one very niche market: evil geniuses ready to take it easy.

A retirement with a plot twist.

The theme gives an ordinary leaving gift a suitably theatrical introduction.

No secret formula. No sweets.

This is an empty novelty gift box. No mints or edible products are included; you provide the real present.

THE ACTUAL, NON-FICTIONAL DETAILS.

Good joke.
Check the fit.

LET’S CLEAR A FEW THINGS UP.

Fair questions.
Very wrong box.

What am I actually buying?

One empty printed Cartoon Villain Retirement Mints novelty gift box for £7.99. The product pictured on the packaging is fictional and is not included. Add your own real gift before giving it to someone.

Are there actual mints in the box?

No. The mints are a fictional product and there is no food included. You are buying an empty novelty gift box to fill with your own present.

Does the recipient have to be retiring?

Not at all. Retirement is part of the fictional villain story. It also suits cartoon fans, theatrical friends and anyone who enjoys being cast as the mastermind.

What should I put inside?

A small keepsake or a gift card for their next chapter. No mints or food are included. Check the usable internal dimensions before choosing your present.

When will it arrive, and what is delivery?

Check the current dispatch and delivery estimates before ordering. The delivery charge appears in your basket and before payment. See returns and damaged-box help if you need it.

GREAT GIFTS. TERRIBLE FIRST IMPRESSIONS.

Give their retirement a proper plot twist.
