FAQ | Freshies by Stephy

How long do freshie scents last?
Most Freshies by Stephy car freshies last about 3–6 weeks, depending on temperature and airflow. Freshies are heat-activated, so warm sunlight helps release the fragrance and makes the scent stronger. On cooler days, the scent may be lighter and then come back once your car warms up.

Can I request custom colors?

Yes! Leave your preferred color theme for bead, bow, and glitter border in the “Gift Message or Special Instructions” box at checkout. We’ll do our best to coordinate your requested colors based on available materials and your chosen design.

Do freshies only work in cars?
Not at all. While they’re designed for cars, many customers also use them in closets, bathrooms, lockers, offices, and laundry rooms.

How are Freshies by Stephy freshies made?
Each freshie is handmade with premium aroma beads and fragrance oils. Every design is poured, baked, decorated, and packaged by hand.

Do you scent your own aroma beads?
Yes. I personally scent all of my aroma beads with fragrance oils so I can control scent strength and keep the quality consistent from one freshie to the next.

How should I hang my freshie?
Freshies are designed to hang from your rearview mirror, but they can also be used in other small spaces. Just avoid direct contact with dashboards, plastics, or finished surfaces.

Do you offer fundraisers?
Yes. Through Freshies 4 Fundraising, schools, sports teams, and organizations can raise money by selling freshies people actually want to buy.
