Left It Late? Personalised Christmas Gifts That Can Still Arrive in Time (2026)
Short answer: In Australia, order personalised gifts by Wednesday 16 December for standard delivery (Monday 14 December to the NT) or by Friday 18 December with Express Post. After that you can still order: choose Rush production at checkout and we aim to dispatch within 1 business day by Express Post, but we can't promise it will arrive before Christmas. If it is too late for post, a digital eGift card is sent by email.

Missed the date? Rush production
Rush production is an upgrade you choose at checkout on eligible products. Your order moves to the front of our production queue and ships by Express Post, and we aim to dispatch it within 1 business day. It does not guarantee a delivery date, so order as early as you can and approve your design as soon as we send it. Need it by a particular day? Contact us and we will tell you whether we can make it.

Frequently asked questions
What is the last day to order a personalised gift for Christmas?
Friday 18 December with Express Post. You can still order after that with Rush production, but we can't promise it will arrive before Christmas.
Does Australia Post deliver on Christmas Eve?
Australia Post publishes its own Christmas delivery days. Our order-by dates already allow for them, so the safest plan is to order by those dates.
Do the order-by dates include making my gift?
Yes. They allow for personalisation and Australia Post's Christmas sending dates.
