The holiday season is approaching fast, and with it comes the rush to find the perfect Christmas gifts. This year, we want to make sure your special orders arrive on time, but there’s an important update you need to know. Our production timeline is changing from 4+ weeks to 4 to 6+ weeks due to the increased demand during the Christmas season. This means placing your order early is more important than ever to guarantee your deadline.


Why Production Times Are Increasing This Christmas


Every year, as December draws near, we experience a surge in orders. Our artists pour their heart and soul into each piece, crafting unique gifts that bring joy and meaning. This dedication means each item takes time to create, and with more orders than ever, the queue has grown longer.


  • Increased demand means more orders to fulfill.

  • Detailed craftsmanship requires careful, time-consuming work.

  • Holiday season pressure pushes timelines beyond the usual.


Because of these factors, our production timeline will extend to 4 to 6+ weeks. This change ensures every piece meets our quality standards but also means waiting longer for your order.

Why You Should Place Your Order Early


Waiting until the last minute could mean missing the chance to receive your gift before Christmas. Here’s why acting now is crucial:


  • Secure your spot in the production queue. Early orders get priority.

  • Avoid shipping delays. Postal services are busier during the holidays.

  • Customize your gift. More time means better collaboration on your vision.

  • Peace of mind. No last-minute stress about whether your gift will arrive on time.


By placing your order now, you give our artists the time they need to create something truly special for your loved ones.


What to Expect After You Place Your Order


Once your order is in, here’s how the process unfolds:


  1. Order confirmation. You’ll receive confirmation your order has entered our system.

  2. Design collaboration. If needed, our artists will reach out to discuss your vision.

  3. Production begins. Your gift is carefully crafted with attention to detail.

  4. Quality check. Each piece undergoes inspection to ensure it meets our standards.

  5. Shipping. Your gift is sent with tracking information for peace of mind.


Don’t Miss Out on the Perfect Christmas Gift


The holiday season is a time for giving, and nothing beats a gift made with care and creativity. With longer production times this year, the best way to guarantee your gift arrives on time is to order now and visit us at our upcoming shows.
