Everything we sell is made after you order it. Nothing sits in a warehouse with your mom's name already on it. It gets engraved, printed or pressed once you've told us what to say. That's what makes it worth giving, and it's also why there's a date on the calendar after which we can't promise it lands under the tree.
Here are those dates. Order by them and you're fine.
Order-by dates for Christmas 2026
United States
| What you're ordering | Standard shipping | Priority shipping |
|---|---|---|
| Necklaces, bracelets, rings, dog tags | Thursday, December 10 | Thursday, December 17 |
| Ornaments | Friday, December 11 | Not offered on these |
| Blankets | Wednesday, December 9 | Not offered on these |
| Candles and plaques | Wednesday, December 9 | Not offered on these |
Priority shipping is available on our engraved jewelry at checkout. On the printed and hand-poured items it isn't offered, so the standard date is the date.
Canada
| What you're ordering | Standard shipping | Priority shipping |
|---|---|---|
| Everything | Friday, November 27 | Friday, December 4 |
Canada takes longer because of customs, and customs does not care about your calendar. If it matters, order in November.
A few honest notes
These are order-by dates, not guarantees. Once your gift leaves our maker's hands it belongs to the carrier, and December weather does what December weather does. What we control is that it goes out in time. That part we take seriously.
We built these dates with room in them. It takes us 1 to 3 business days to make your item and 2 to 5 business days to get it to you, and we added a few days on top because December is the one month everybody ships at once.
Order earlier than the date if you can. The last week before a cutoff is the busiest week of the year for everyone who makes personalized things. Nothing bad happens if you order in November. Your gift just sits in your closet instead of ours.
Check your spelling before you check out. We engrave exactly what you type. A name spelled the way you type it is a beautiful thing. A name spelled the way you typed it at 11pm is not. Read it twice.
Free shipping in the US on orders of $49 or more. Under that it's a few dollars, shown at checkout before you pay.
Missed the date?
Order it anyway and give the card. A gift that shows up on December 28th with someone's name on it still says the thing you wanted to say, and honestly, it gets read more carefully in the quiet week after Christmas than it would in the middle of the wrapping paper.
If you're up against it and not sure what will make it, send us a message and we will tell you straight.
