What are the Christmas 2026 order-by dates for a US address?
| Order by | What it means |
|---|---|
| Monday, December 7 | Comfortable: room for the busy weeks at the printers and carriers |
| Thursday, December 10 | Last date with the usual window before Thursday, December 24 |
| December 11 to 15 | Usually still arrives, with no margin for a hiccup |
| After December 15 | Digital gift card, sent by email |
These are the same dates as our Christmas 2026 order deadlines page. They are not guaranteed: our shipping policy allows up to 15 business days in total outside France, and December can add a few days at the printers. If you want that full 15-business-day window, order by Thursday, December 3. There is no paid express option, so ordering early is the only lever.
Which photo gift fits which person?
| Gift | Price, US shipping included | Who it suits |
|---|---|---|
| Photo mug, 11 oz | $23.00 | Grandparents, coworkers, a Secret Santa on a budget |
| Photo t-shirt | $23.00 | Matching family shirts for Christmas morning, a teenager, a dad with the baby |
| Photo tote bag | $35.00 | Someone who carries everything; it doubles as the wrapping |
| Photo sweatshirt | $45.00 | The warm gift for a partner, a sibling or a dog mom |
Every item is printed from your own photo, with a line of text if you want one. The price per item stays the same up to 9; from 10 items in one cart an automatic 10% discount applies, and 15% from 25, mixed products included.
Where is the gift made, and can it ship straight to the person?
A US order is printed in the United States, in the print partner's facility nearest the delivery address, so the parcel does not cross an ocean. You can enter the recipient's address at checkout and the gift ships directly to them, with a tracking number by email. A mug and a t-shirt in the same order may arrive in two parcels, a few days apart: they do not come off the same machine, and shipping stays included.
What photo works best for a Christmas gift?
Use the original file, not a copy saved from a messaging app. A tight crop on faces reads better than a wide shot. On a mug the band is wide and short (about 7.9 × 3.7 in), so a horizontal photo works best; on a shirt or a sweatshirt, a portrait or square photo fills the chest. The preview shows the item before you pay and warns you if the image is too small. No good photo? You can describe the picture in one sentence and the studio draws it; three tries are free.
What if it is too late to ship?
After December 15, the digital gift card is the honest option: it arrives by email, usually within minutes, and the person designs their own item afterwards. You can also order anyway and give a printed preview as a card while the parcel finishes its trip.
Questions we get asked
What is the last day to order a custom photo gift for Christmas 2026 in the US? Thursday, December 10, 2026 is the last date with the usual window, and Monday, December 7 leaves a comfortable margin. Between December 11 and 15 an order usually still arrives, with no margin left. After December 15, choose the digital gift card, sent by email.
Do you guarantee delivery before December 25? No. Each item is printed to order: 2 to 4 business days of production, then transit. Our shipping policy allows up to 15 business days in total outside France, and carriers do not guarantee dates in Christmas week. Ordering early is the only lever: there is no paid express option.
Where is my gift printed for a US address? In the United States, in the print partner's facility nearest the delivery address. The parcel does not cross an ocean.
Can I ship the gift straight to the person? Yes. Enter the recipient's address at checkout and the item is shipped directly to them, with shipping included.
Will the recipient pay customs duties or taxes? Shipping is included and nothing is added at checkout. Our shipping policy states: “Outside the European Union (United Kingdom, Switzerland, United States, Canada), customs duties or local taxes may apply on receipt: they are set by the destination country and are payable by the recipient.”
Is there a discount for several gifts? Yes, automatically in the cart: 10% off from 10 items and 15% off from 25, mixed products included. Each item can carry a different photo.
