Holiday guidance last updated September 30, 2026.
Almost everything at Wander Trails is made to order — your framed poster is printed and framed after you check out, your tee is printed when you order it. That's great for cutting waste, but it means Christmas gifts need more lead time than off-the-shelf shopping. Here's exactly when to order.
Our current guidance: order before December 9. Our shipping policy recommends ordering before December 9 if you'd like your order to arrive before Christmas. Delivery dates are estimates, not guarantees, so ordering earlier gives you more buffer during the holiday rush.
Why you shouldn't wait until December 8th. Orders are processed within 1–2 business days, and estimated delivery is 3–5 business days after that — and those are averages, not guarantees. Busy holiday periods run slower, so ordering earlier gives you more buffer.
Order wall art first. Framed posters are made to order — printed on 189 g/m² matte paper, framed in Ayous wood, and fitted with hanging hardware before it ships — so they're a good category to buy early rather than waiting for the deadline. If a framed poster is on your gift list, ordering in October or early November is the relaxed way to do it. Browse framed national park posters.
Combine orders for free shipping. US and Canada orders over $70 qualify for free shipping, so combining gifts can reduce what you pay for shipping.
Start with our Holiday Gift Guide — our top-selling framed posters, gifts for hikers, and picks under $25 — and order before December 9th to have everything under the tree.
