Last order dates for delivery in time for Christmas 2026
A personalised gift takes time to make, and at Christmas nobody wants to be left waiting. That's why we set a last order date with guaranteed delivery before the 25th. Order by the date for your destination and it will arrive in time. It's a promise we keep every year.
Last order dates by destination

Christmas FAQs
How late can I order to receive it before Christmas?
For mainland Portugal, until 21 December. Orders confirmed by that day arrive in time for Christmas, whatever the product. For Spain, the islands and the rest of Europe, see the table above.
What if I order after the last order date?
We still accept orders, but we can no longer guarantee delivery before the 25th. The estimated date on the product page shows you when it should arrive.
Does the last order date apply to every product?
It applies to everything, with one exception: hand-drawn colour portraits, on a frame, plaque, tile or mug, must be ordered by 18 December, because each one goes through the hands of our illustrators. At this time of year we organise production to meet the date for all other products, including line art portraits and embroidered clothing.
How do I know my order will arrive in time?
You can see the estimated delivery date on the product page before you buy. Once it has been shipped, you'll get an email with tracking. If you have any questions, write to geral@iframe.pt with your order number.
