Getting the Timing Right

  • Galentine’s Day is February 13, the day before Valentine’s Day, which is one of the busiest shipping weeks of the year.
  • Check the delivery date for each address at checkout, not just the “fast shipping” label.
  • Personalized items take longer. Order engraved or custom gifts at least two to three weeks ahead.
  • Out of time? A digital gift card or subscription can be delivered by email on the day.

Before You Buy

  • Choose colors and prints she likes.
  • Add a personal note.
  • Check the current price and the delivery date at checkout.
