Christmas deliveries

Ordering for Christmas?
It's that time of year again... If you've got questions about shopping during the busy festive season, read on because we've got answers!

 

SHIPPING BREAK

We are taking a shipping break for the holidays. Orders for physical items (printed patterns, books, kits, physical gift cards) received from 18th December will be dispatched when we're back on 30th December. Digital products (PDF patterns, online workshops, e-gift cards) will be sent automatically by email throughout this period. We'll reply to emails when we're back from our break. Thanks so much for your patience and understanding. Wishing you a very happy holiday!

WHEN SHOULD I ORDER BY?

We recommend ordering early during this busy postal period to ensure your Christmas gifts arrive in time. Order by the following date to receive your order before Christmas*:

Standard (Royal Mail 48/Second Class)

  • 1st December - Shipping to Australia and New Zealand*
  • 1st December - Shipping to Europe*  
  • 4th December - Shipping to USA and Canada** 
  • 17th December - UK orders

International tracked (3 or more patterns or a book sent outside the UK/Europe)

  • 4th December - Shipping to Australia and New Zealand*
  • 11th December - Shipping to USA and Canada**
* Delays can be caused by the postal service or customs. If your country imposes customs duties, import tax or other fees at the border, these are the responsibility of the customer. Please contact your country’s customs office if you need to know more.
** Due to industrial action by the Canadian Union of Postal Workers, we have been unable to ship orders to Canada. Hopefully these will resume once we're back from our Christmas break.

The last day orders will be shipped before we go on Christmas break will be Wednesday 18th December 2024. Shipping will recommence on Monday 30th December 2024.

Orders can still be placed for all our products while we are away. E-gift cards, PDF sewing patterns and online workshops are delivered by email automatically, immediately after order. Physical orders placed between midday 18th December and 29th December 2024 will be shipped when we return on the 30th.

DO YOU SELL GIFT CARDS?

Yes, we have a choice of digital e-gift cards and physical gift cards available:

E-Gift Cards:

Our digital E-Gift Cards are available in amounts from £10 up to £250 and have no delivery fees. They are delivered by email and contain instructions for how to redeem them at checkout.

As well as patterns and books, they can be used towards an online workshop. Just purchase the corresponding amount (e.g. £59) from the drop down list, and then if you or your lovely friend drops us an email at hello@tillyandthebuttons.com, we'll sort it out pronto!

Physical Gift Cards:

Our specially designed Tilly and the Buttons physical gift cards are perfect for popping into your Christmas cards or sending to your pals if you don't know which of our sewing patterns they already own.

These gift cards will be sent to your chosen shipping address in a sealed lilac envelope, within our usual hardy recyclable packaging, to make sure they arrive as cute as can be. 

As well as patterns and books, they can be used towards an online workshop. Just purchase the corresponding amount (e.g. £59) from the drop down list.

CAN I ADD GIFT WRAPPING?

YES! We have a cute gift wrap option, perfect for sending pressies directly to your sewing pals! Add gorgeous gift wrapping to your order today.

CAN I ADD A GIFT NOTE?

You can! Leave a message for your sewing pal and we'll pop it in your order at no extra cost.

In your cart (not the checkout), you'll notice a box where you can leave a comment. We'll see your note on the order, print it out and stick it on one of our lovely postcards to pop inside your order, yay!

This option is only available for physical orders, and not PDF or digital orders.

If you want to send a PDF sewing pattern as a gift, we recommend ordering as yourself, then forwarding over the separate PDF pattern email you'll receive after your order confirmation email - that way, the recipient won't see the invoice and you can add your own message with the email.
