Gifting on a deadline?
The simple rule: count back two weeks.
Making the book takes about a minute. The wait is print plus shipping, which runs up to nine business days end to end. To gift on a specific date without sweating it, start about two weeks ahead.
That buffer is not just for the mail. It gives you room to preview the story, tweak a line so it sounds like your family, and approve it without rushing. If the date is tight, order first and edit during the preview window; the clock only starts when you approve.
A quick count-back
- Birthday on the 20th? Order by about the 6th.
- A holiday gift? Order roughly two weeks before the date.
- Last-minute? Order today and use the preview window to perfect it while it prints.
