Yikes.

It feels like it's only about two days to Christmas. When did that happen?

Yesterday, we were happily puttering along just fine making all the holiday stuff you ordered from us.
But then last night, when we were innocently sitting there with a well-deserved glass of wine, the post office came on the news & said the last day to get things by mail to the people you love is Saturday.

Yikes again.

Because while we love the post office, we're not sure we believe them. Maybe we're being overly protective of you, but here's what we're recommending if you absolutely want something delivered from us by the 25th:
  • The last day to place orders to be shipped via our standard $5 flat-rate ground shipping is Thursday.
  • The last moment to place orders to be shipped via UPS 2nd Day Air is by 8 a.m. CST on Monday morning the 22nd.
Of course, you always have the option of choosing UPS Next Day Air for items ordered all the way up through 10 a.m. Central Time on the 23rd, but we have to tell you it's almost cheaper to buy a plane ticket & hand carry it to the person yourself. On the other hand, if they live in Hawaii, or someplace warm, that's not such a bad idea. Pick up something like a bag of Hershey's kisses & then hop on the plane & surprise them. Yay!

Anyway, we promise you that we're doing our part, getting things ready in time. For some of the things we've got for you, like the pre-wrapped books for quick hostess gifts, or the 2015 calendar, or beautiful wristwraps for the ones you love, they're all going out from here lickety-split. Other things, not so much. Like if you order a handmade sculpture, or a handmade wood frame, it's not going to go out the same day you order it. We'll try for the next day, but if there are a lot of other people who suddenly want the same thing, it might take a day extra. Just so you know.

Basically, if you haven't sent it yet, now's the time to jump in. Or drop in to storypeople.com & let us send it for you. Soon. OK?

with love,

The Crew at StoryPeople

P.S. If you absolutely must have something for the StoryPeople fan in your life, there's always a gift card. We've got them in a whole range from $10 on up. Pick up one of these & your anxiety level drops to about zero. (HA. Maybe just get a few of them & carry them around in your pocket to keep your stress level manageable the whole season. We're not sure about the science behind that, but we think it's worth a try...:-))
