Last-Minute Christmas Gifts That Still Arrive on Time

The date to remember: December 8

Every Inkida piece is printed to order in the US, and for Christmas delivery the order-by date is December 8. You will find the same date on the Gift Guide, in the FAQ and on product pages. Total delivery is usually 6 to 11 business days from the order date, including 2 to 4 business days to print, and orders placed after December 8 may arrive after Christmas.

Why earlier is safer

Business days are Monday to Friday, excluding US public holidays, and delivery times are estimates. Production can take longer around Black Friday and the December holidays. Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and US territories usually take 7 to 14 business days, and APO, FPO and DPO addresses take longer, so order those gifts well before the cut-off. We currently ship to US addresses only.

Gifts to order before December 8

When you are choosing quickly, pick designs that need no explanation.

• The Christmas Starts When I Say So hoodie for the person who decorates early.
• The Cat Drinks the Tree Water hoodie for cat households.
• The Wore the Antlers. Once. hoodie for the pug at the family photo.
• The Dog Gets a Stocking Too sweatshirt for dog families.
• The Most Likely to Eat the Cookie Dough tee for a budget-friendly pick.

Keep shipping simple

There is no need to complicate the plan. US orders over $50 ship free, and the discount is applied automatically at checkout. Pick one or two gifts to ship to the same address. Different products can be made at different print facilities, so an order with several items may arrive in separate packages, each with its own tracking email.

If you miss the cut-off: gift card

An Inkida digital gift card is the last-minute answer. It is delivered by email in minutes, or on a date you choose up to 90 days ahead. The recipient picks the design and the size, and there is no shipping to wait on. Amounts range from $10 to $500. Gift cards are not refundable.

If you send it to yourself, you can forward it or print it and tuck it into a card.

A simple last-minute plan

1. List your recipients and note anyone outside the lower 48 states.
2. Check each size with the size guide. Size exchanges are not available because each item is made to order.
3. Order physical gifts well before December 8.
4. Use gift cards for anyone whose size you cannot confirm.
5. Add a gift message at checkout.
