How Do I Place an Order?

add

Placing an order with Thrive Creations is easy! Just head over to the product page of the item you'd like to purchase, and add it to your cart. Once you're ready, proceed to checkout to complete your payment — and that's it! Your order will soon be on its way to you.

Which Product Should I Start With?
remove
add
Most parents start with either the Meltdown Tracker (our most popular single item) if you want something focused and low-commitment, or the full Don't Just Survive: Thrive journal if you want everything - mood, sleep, meetings, goals, meltdowns and more - in one place. 


If you're not sure, the journal is where Thrive Creations began, and the Meltdown Tracker was created afterwards because meltdowns needed their own dedicated space. Browse by what you're struggling with most, or drop us a message and we'll point you in the right direction!

ABOUT OUR PRODUCTS
Are Thrive Creations Products Digital or Physical?
remove
add
Our Journals and Focus Collection extensions are wire-bound notebooks, and our Thrive for Kids books are stapled booklets - all physical, printed products you write in by hand. The one exception is our Halloween Fun Book, which is available as a digital download. Thrive Recommends items (sensory tools, fidgets, visual schedules) are also physical products, shipped by our partner suppliers.
Do I Need the Journal to Use the Meltdown Tracker or Other Focus Collection Extensions?
remove
add

No - every Focus Collection product (Meltdown Tracker, Sleep Log, Mood & Anxiety Extension, and the rest) works perfectly as a standalone tool. If you already have the Don't Just Survive: Thrive journal, they simply give you extra space once you fill up that section. Think of them as top-ups, not requirements.

What Age Are Your Children's Products Suitable For?
remove
add
It varies by product - our Mood Mates storybooks and Calm Cards suit roughly ages 4–10, while workbooks like My Worry Workbook suits ages 6–12. Each product page lists its specific age guidance.
What's the Difference Between the Journal for SEN Mums and the Journal for SEN Parents?
remove
add

Both journals are identical in content, structure, and layout - the only difference is the cover colour and whether the wording says "Mum" or "Parent" throughout. Pick whichever feels right for you; the tools inside are exactly the same.

ORDERING, SHIPPING & DELIVERY
How Much Does Shipping Cost?
remove
add
Shipping costs £2.99 for all orders under £25, and it's FREE for orders over £25 throughout the UK. 


International Shipping charges are higher due to the significant cost of sending orders abroad. These amounts will be displayed at Checkout.

How Long Will It Take For My Order to Arrive?
remove
add

We aim to dispatch all orders within 24 hours of receiving them. Your order will be shipped via Royal Mail Tracked 48, so it should arrive within 2-3 working days after dispatch.

Do You Offer International Shipping?
remove
add
YES! We are currently set up to ship to the USA and Australia. Please get in touch if you are looking to have our products sent to other areas of the world.
What If My Order Includes a Thrive Recommends Product Too?
remove
add

Thrive Recommends items are dispatched by our trusted partner suppliers rather than us directly, so if your order includes one alongside our own products, it will arrive as a separate parcel with its own delivery charge - this is shown clearly at checkout before you pay. Our £25 free-shipping threshold applies to Thrive-owned products only.

RETURNS, PRIVACY & WHOLESALE
What is Your Return Policy?
remove
add

If your item arrives damaged or faulty, please contact us and we’ll offer you a full refund - no fuss.


Changed your mind? No problem. You can return unused products in their original condition within 14 days of receiving your order, and we’ll issue a full refund (less the cost of shipping).

Is My Child's Data Private and Secure?
remove
add

Yes. Our trackers and journals are physical, pen-and-paper products - what you write in them stays with you. We never see or store the personal information you record about your child. Our full Privacy Policy has more detail if you'd like to read it.

Do You Offer Wholesale?
remove
add
Yes! We're set up for wholesale through Faire - you'll find the link in our website menu under "Buy Wholesale."
