When to order
This week's Pressing Days are Wednesday and Saturday. The next one is Saturday, October 31.
Every kit is written, printed, cut and packed by hand, so it takes a little while. Here is how long, and the dates that matter.
For Christmas 2026
| What | Order by | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| The Journey Kit and the First Tooth Calendar | Tuesday, December 8 | so it can be posted by Thu Dec 17 (USPS Ground Advantage cut-off) |
| A Letter by Post, the Tale of a Tooth, the Council's Letter | Monday, December 14 | so it can be posted by Thu Dec 17 (First-Class Mail cut-off) |
| A Fairy Gift Card | Friday, December 25 | sent by email, so even Christmas morning is fine |
Post office dates are the USPS recommended send-by dates for the lower 48 states. Alaska and Hawaii take longer; order a week earlier. Missed it? A Fairy Gift Card arrives by email, even on Christmas morning.
For a birthday, or a tooth that is wiggling
Put in the date you need it by, and we will tell you the last day to order.
Kits and calendars: up to 7 business days to make, then about 5 in the post. A letter by post or a tale: up to 3 days to write, then about 4 in the post. If a tooth is already loose, email us and we will see what the fairies can do.
