Last-Minute Christmas Gift: How Late Can You Order?
How late can you order for Christmas? Order on a working day before 3 pm (CET) and we ship your gift the same day. Within the EU it then takes 1 to 7 working days depending on the country, outside the EU 5 to 14 working days. Carriers get busier around the holidays, so to be safe: order in the week of 7 December for Germany and the rest of the EU, and in the week of 23 November for countries outside the EU. Then choose something that always fits, and nothing can go wrong.
The short answer
Ordered before 3 pm (CET) on a working day = shipped the same day. To be safe, order in the week of:
- 14 December for Christmas in the Netherlands and Belgium
- 7 December for Christmas in Germany and the rest of the EU
- 23 November for Christmas outside the EU
Don't know her size? Choose earrings, an adjustable ring or a bracelet with an extension chain.
How late can you order in 2026?
Christmas Eve falls on Thursday 24 December this year. In Germany, presents are opened on Christmas Eve itself, and St. Nicholas Day is Sunday 6 December; in the Netherlands, Sinterklaas evening is Saturday 5 December. The table shows the delivery time after shipping per country and the week to order in to be safe. We deliberately give a week rather than a final day: delivery is up to the carrier, and around the holidays it can take a little longer.

Earrings: never the wrong size
If you want zero risk, choose earrings. There's no wrong size; you only need to know whether she has pierced ears. Look at what she wears now: small hoops, studs or something that moves? That almost always gives away her taste. The pieces below are well stocked, so we can ship them the same day. Curious which earrings are given most this year? Read the 7 most popular earrings as a December gift.
Adjustable rings: the size takes care of itself
A ring is one of the loveliest things to give and one of the hardest to buy, because you never know the size. An adjustable ring solves that: the band is open at the back, so you gently widen or narrow it until it fits. The new Zia has a playful zigzag and comes in gold and silver tone. Quieter is the wavy Elia, a ring for every day. More choice in our adjustable rings.
Bracelets that fit every wrist
With bracelets you don't need to measure anything either, as long as you choose an extension chain or an open bangle. Most bracelets below are 17 cm with a 5 cm extension, so you adjust them in seconds. An open bangle like Tammy you simply open or close slightly.

A complete set in one go
Want to give something bigger, or shopping for several people at once? Combine a necklace, earrings, a bracelet and a ring in the same style. Everything in the photo below is adjustable or has no size, so you can't go wrong here either. Prefer gold? Melia is a minimalist necklace that suits almost everyone.

Someone on your list for him?
The same principle works for men: choose something without a size. The stretch Sven link bracelet is one size, and a leather gift set always goes down well. More ideas by type of man in Christmas gifts for men.

The second thing that ruins a last-minute gift is the wrapping. The jewelry arrives on time and you still end up at 11 pm on 23 December without enough tape. With us, you don't have to think about that.
