Gifting calendar

UK gifting dates for the next 12 months

Personalised gifts are usually made after you order, so they take longer than off-the-shelf presents. Here’s what’s coming up, worked out for this year’s calendar — check each seller’s dispatch times and last order dates, and leave room for a proof and the post.

  1. Christmas · in 7 weeks Personalised sellers get very busy in December. Order early, check each seller’s last order date for Christmas and allow time for the post.
  2. Valentine’s Day · in about 3 months Made-to-order gifts for Valentine’s Day need ordering well before 14 February — check the dispatch time on the listing.
  3. Mother’s Day · in about 4 months The UK date moves with Easter, so check this year’s date and order made-to-order gifts in good time.
  4. Easter · in about 5 months Easter moves each year; order personalised baskets or gifts a few weeks ahead.
  5. Father’s Day · in about 8 months Father’s Day is always the third Sunday in June — check dispatch times and order personalised gifts in good time.

How the dates are worked out: Mother’s Day (Mothering Sunday) is the fourth Sunday in Lent — three weeks before Easter Sunday; Father’s Day is the third Sunday in June; Easter is calculated each year; Valentine’s Day and Christmas Day are fixed. Birthdays, weddings and anniversaries happen all year, so they aren’t on the timeline.
