2027 Calendars and Affirmation Notebooks
These are recommended order-by dates,
not guaranteed delivery dates.
The dates above give your order the best available chance of arriving before Christmas. They are not guaranteed delivery dates.
Production times, delivery destinations, carrier delays and the usual Christmas rush can all affect arrival. Ordering earlier is the safest option, particularly if your gift needs to travel a long distance.
Our drink bottles are currently sourced from the USA, and the regular notebooks from Europe - hence the early cut-off dates. We are looking for local suppliers, and will hopefully have some in the new year (but if you know of any, drop us a line :)).
You can still place an order after the recommended date. Happily Real remains open, and the product will still be made for you and shipped to your address along regular timeframes (give or take the usual Christmas postal delays, public holidays and stressed out postal workers).
You never know - you may just get lucky and jag a smooth shipping lane. But we can't make any promises.
We would rather be clear about that than make a promise that production schedules and postal services may not be able to keep. After all - we are Happily Real.
Some Happily Real products are produced by different print partners. If your order contains several product types, they may be made and dispatched separately.
This means your items may:
Arrive in more than one parcel
Have different tracking information
Reach you on different days
Gift sets may also contain products supplied separately. Please do not assume that items will arrive together in a presentation box or hamper. Also, take note of the earliest cut-off date for the products contained in the bundle - this is the cut-off date to order that gift set.
Please check that your delivery address is complete and accurate before submitting your order. Address errors can cause delays that are difficult to correct once production has started.
Once your order has been dispatched, you will receive the available tracking information by email.
Christmas does not need another source of pressure.
Order early if you can, if you miss a cut-off, the shop remains open.
A thoughtful gift arriving in January can still make someone feel seen, remembered and appreciated.
