No payment is required to make a request, you don't even have to buy the pin you request. Zero strings attached.
However, I work through this list at my own pace so the lead time can be months.
If you're able to check my existing designs at doodlepeople.co.uk please do - there is a plain text list in alphabetical order of all currently available hello and conversation pins.
Please don't include colour requests for hello and conversation pins. I will make them in whatever colours I happen to pick at the time, but colour changes are free.

Please be aware: these pins are to be listed publicly in my store, this is not a customised/personalised order request form. I do not take personalised orders because of the time commitment BUT I do have a listing where you can pay for me to rush your request: https://doodlepeople.co.uk/products/rush-my-request-hello-i-am-hello-i-have-badge-hidden-disability-chronic-condition-invisible-illness-mental-health-neurodivergent - the design will still be listed publicly in my store in an upcoming update, so it is still not exclusive to you, but generally, it's a custom option if you don't wish to wait :)
