The last order dates for a Seven Yays box this Christmas are Tuesday 15 December to count down to Christmas, or Friday 18 December to give it on Christmas Day (with next day delivery, 2pm on 16 or 21 December). Your date depends on how you'd like to give it.
Every December, the same question pops up: when is it too late to send a gift? We've put every date you need for a Seven Yays box in one place, so you can tick it off your list and get back to the fun part.

Two Ways to Give a Seven Yays Box at Christmas
A Seven Yays box is a seven-day countdown: seven doors, one to open each day. At Christmas, you can time it to finish on Christmas Day, or to start on Christmas Day. Either way, the box arrives the day before the first door is opened.
Option 1: Count Down to Christmas Day
To count down to Christmas, order by Tuesday 15 December with standard delivery, or by 2 pm on Wednesday 16 December with next day delivery. The box arrives by Friday 18 December, the first door opens on the 19th, and door seven lands on Christmas Day.
This is our favourite way to give at Christmas. It turns the busy week before the big day into seven mornings of little surprises, like an advent calendar made just for them, with the final door saved for Christmas morning.
Option 2: Give It on Christmas Day
To give the box on Christmas Day, order by Friday 18 December with standard delivery, or by 2 pm on Monday 21 December with next day delivery. It arrives by Christmas Eve, ready to go under the tree, and the doors run from Christmas Day to New Year's Eve.
It's a lovely way to keep the festive feeling going after the presents are open. Those quiet days between Christmas and New Year get a little surprise every morning, with door seven on New Year's Eve to see the year out.
Plan Ahead: Order Now, Pick the Day It Arrives
You can order well before December. Every Seven Yays box can be scheduled for any date up to 12 months ahead, so you can order today and choose exactly when it lands.
It's a lovely way to take one gift off your Christmas list early. Pick a ready-made box or customise it to your heart’s content, then choose the delivery date that suits how you'd like to give it.
Standard UK delivery is free on orders over £50.
How Next Day Delivery Works at Christmas
Next day delivery is an optional extra at checkout for £10. Order before 2 pm, Monday to Friday, and we’ll send your box for delivery the next working day.
At Christmas, the last next-day orders are 2 pm on Wednesday 16 December to count down to Christmas, and 2 pm on Monday 21 December to give it on Christmas Day.
Christmas Delivery Tips
A few things that help every Christmas parcel arrive happily:
- Double-check the address. Each order goes to one address, so if you're sending boxes to different people, place a separate order for each.
- Order earlier than you think. The last order dates are the latest safe days, not the best ones. A few days' buffer takes the pressure off.
- Think about who's home. If they're away for Christmas, send it to where they'll be.
- Add your message at checkout. Every Seven Yays box comes with a handwritten letter and a wax seal, so it arrives ready to give.
