SHOP HOLIDAY GIFTS YOU CAN PRE-ORDER NOW

Since we’re already at that time for planning ahead business holiday gifts, let’s take some time to review the pre-order process and how it works around here at M&G. Holiday pre-orders are defined as any gift boxes or gift sets from our online curated gift shop ordered with a ‘Happy Holidays’, ‘Merry Christmas’, ‘Happy Hanukkah’, or ‘Happy New Year’s’ gift tag placed now through the end of November.

Pre-ordering your holiday gifts now from our collection of holiday gifts or ready-to-ship gift shop with holiday themed gift tags reserves your inventory until we begin shipping out all holiday pre-orders from December 4, 2024 through December 8, 2024. We ship out your holiday gifts in the order in which these pre-orders were received.

WHY SHOULD I PRE-ORDER MY HOLIDAY GIFTS?

Pre-ordering holiday gifts for your business or company has its perks and we’re sharing the three biggest reasons why you should pre-order your holiday gifts before the hustle and bustle of the season sets in.

Pre Order Reason #1: First Dibs

When you plan ahead and don't scramble for gifts at the last minute during the holidays - when everyone else is ordering too!  - you’ll have first dibs on hard-to-get, small-batch gift inventory that will sell out.

Many of our curated gift boxes include unique, artisanal and hand crafted items that we can only order a limited quantity of. By pre-ordering early you can reserve this inventory and ensure that you will receive those holiday gift items you wanted most to gift to your employees and clients.

Pre Order Reason #2: Best Ship Dates

In addition to having first dibs on the gifts themselves, when you order your business holiday gifts early, you’ll also have first dibs on the most coveted shipping dates in early December so you're gifts stand out even more. Our pre-order holiday gifts are shipping out starting December 4th and are shipping in the order we received your pre-order.

Placing your pre-order early ensures you will receive an early December shipping date to surprise and delight your gift recipients with the perfect holiday gift timing. Your gifts will likely be among the first - if not the first - gifts your recipients receive and this ensures that your gifts don't get lost in the holiday hustle. 

Pre Order Reason #3: Less Stress

We're all looking for ways to reduce stress in our lives. One of the best reasons to plan ahead for holiday gifts is that it is less stress in the end - for you. When you're not scrambling around and rushing at the last minute during the holidays to order your gifts, you'll be able to actually enjoy the season.

When you pre-order your holiday gifts in the summer and early fall, you’ll have one more ‘to-do’ checked off of your holiday season checklist. Check it off early so you can enjoy a calm and dram-free holiday season.
