Key Holiday Dates for 2021

As you might have heard, the supply chain is a bit of a mess and shipping logistics are jumbled. These particular challenges will mean that your typical holiday shopping adventure will probably look quite different this year. Luckily I’ve been monitoring the situation closely for several months so I’m feeling as prepared as I can be given the wild ride we are on! But I want to ensure that you're prepared, too!

To avoid holiday disappointment, here's what you should know right now about ordering through my website:

All major shipping carriers are currently experiencing staff shortages while moving an unprecedented number of packages daily. This situation is expected to intensify as we move deeper into the holiday season.

Key Dates

In order to keep the Grinch at bay this season (hah!), I’m taking some proactive steps to ensure holiday joy. Here are some dates to plan for:

Tuesday, November 2

This is the day my holiday collection of bandana prints (and limited edition holiday bows!) will launch. In lieu of a Black Friday/ Cyber Monday promotion, I will also be hosting a special promo that week. Keep an eye out for more details on this in the coming weeks!

Saturday, November 20

This is the last day I’ll guarantee custom jacket orders for Christmas delivery (or anything else custom or made to order such as leashes with traffic handles or bandanas personalized with a name). I may still accept a very limited number of custom jacket orders past this date for local customers that can pick up in person, but please do not bank on this. If you are thinking about a custom jacket, I highly recommend placing your order as soon as possible!

Thursday, December 9

This is the last recommended order date for Christmas delivery, though I strongly recommend that you shop as early as possible to minimize any stress or worry over delayed packages!

It can’t be said enough -- I strongly encourage you to shop early this year! Both to ensure that I have products available and to ensure that your packages are mailed in plenty of time to make it to their final destination.

Other points worth mentioning

• I’m offering an optional fabric gift wrap upgrade so that gifts can ship directly to your recipients- that’ll save stress, money, and time!
• Instantly-delivered gift cards by email are available- they’re a lovely option if I sell out of your favorites or if you’re running behind schedule.
• If you’d rather skip online shopping altogether and you’re local to Portland or Seattle, I’ve got a great lineup of in person markets that I’ll be attending in December. Check out my event schedule for dates and locations!

Your support of this small business is deeply appreciated, especially in the midst of the pandemic and resulting turbulence.

So please make your list, check it twice, and get to it. I’m here to help!

Wishing you the happiest of holidays from my fam to yours,

Jenny (+ Alok, Chewy, and Solo)
