🎄 2025 Holiday Shipping Deadlines – The Dragon’s Annual “Don’t Panic” Post

Hey friends!

I can’t believe I’m saying this already, but… it’s that time again. Yep — the holidays are creeping up faster than a caffeine-fuelled chocobo, and that means it’s officially shipping deadline season! 😅

I know, I know — no one wants to think about Christmas just yet (trust me, I’m still finishing my Halloween candy), but if you want your shiny treasures to arrive in time to go under the tree, now’s the time to plan ahead.

Postal services are still running slower than a sloth on a Sunday, and once the flood of holiday mail hits, delays are basically inevitable. And as much as I’d love to have magic control over Canada Post, I can’t make them move faster — even with a dragon. 🐲🔥

So here’s the rundown for 2025 holiday order deadlines, giving enough time for me to make your pieces (most take about 1–2 weeks) and for the post office to do its thing. If you’re not sure or you’re cutting it close, message me — sometimes I can pull off a miracle or two. 😉

💌 A few final notes from the bench:

These dates include my processing time for handmade orders (1–2 weeks).

The postal service doesn’t guarantee exact delivery dates (except for private couriers like DHL/FedEx).

Ordering early means less stress, smoother shipping, and more time for cookies and cocoa. ☕🍪
