To receive a plush before 24 December 2026, order by Thursday 3 December at the latest if you live in France or anywhere else in the European Union. The cut-off comes earlier for other destinations: 30 November for Switzerland, 26 November for the United States and Canada, and 23 November for the rest of the world. You can still order after these dates, but we can no longer guarantee delivery before Christmas.

A cut-off date is not a target: it is the last day we can still keep our promise. Ordering a week earlier gives you room if there is a problem with the address or if nobody is home when the courier calls. Sending a plush to Spain? Our article on Three Kings' Day in Spain explains the celebration where children open their presents on 6 January.
Ordering early: what you gain
Ordering in November is not just about shipping. It also means choosing from the whole catalogue, with no last-minute compromises.
- Choice. Seasonal models, such as our 20 cm Pikachu in its Santa hat, will not necessarily stay available until the very last day.
- The right size. You have time to measure the space and compare, for example between the three sizes of our light-up teddy bear: 30, 50 or 75 cm.
- Peace of mind. The present is sorted before the holiday rush. If you want something smaller, our Christmas gift ideas on a budget will save you time.
Large plushies need a little more planning: where to receive them, where to hide them, how to wrap them. If you have your eye on a big one, such as our giant brown bear in 80 or 100 cm, read our guide to giving a giant plush for Christmas.
Check the address and the name on the letterbox
A wrongly addressed parcel means days lost at the worst time of year. Before you confirm, take a minute to check:
- the recipient's name, exactly as it appears on the letterbox (watch out for shared flats, married names and children whose surname differs from yours);
- the house number, street, postcode and town, with no typos;
- the building, floor, door code or the name on the intercom;
- a phone number where you can be reached.
Sending it straight to your grandchildren or a godchild? Put the order in the name of an adult in the household: that is the name on the letterbox, and they will receive the parcel, not the child.
Receiving the parcel without spoiling the surprise
Choose where to have it delivered
If the children watch out for the courier, have it delivered elsewhere: to your workplace if your employer allows it, to the grandparents, to a trusted neighbour, or to a pick-up point when that option is offered at checkout.
Hide the box
A box arriving in December draws every eye. Put it away as soon as it arrives: on top of a wardrobe, in the car boot, in a cupboard that closes or at a relative's home. Still open it quickly, with no witnesses, to check everything is in order.
Ordering after the cut-off: what happens
You can order after your country's cut-off date, but let us be honest: we can no longer guarantee delivery before Christmas. The parcel may arrive in time, just after the holiday or a few days later, depending on the destination.
If that is your situation, here are two ideas so the delay spoils nothing:
- slip a card or a drawing under the tree announcing that the plush is "on its way from the plush kingdom";
- save it for a nearby occasion: New Year, Three Kings' Day or a January birthday.
To choose quickly and well, our guide on which plush to give for Christmas sorts ideas by age and taste, and all our seasonal picks are gathered in our Christmas plush section.
