Christmas Gift Guide 2026
Everything for a Christmas gift that reaches a New Jersey door in time: the last day to order by courier and for same-day delivery, which runs only in Northern New Jersey; the gifts people came back for over three Christmas seasons; and how businesses plan their client and staff gifts. Christmas Day is a Friday this year, which makes Thursday, December 24 the final delivery day.
- Courier to the rest of New Jersey: last order Wednesday, December 23, before 2 p.m.
- Same-day only in Northern New Jersey, until 11 a.m. local time on Thursday, December 24
- Gifts with alcohol: an adult 21 or older receives them, and a valid photo ID may be asked for
- No deliveries on Christmas Day

Enter the recipient's ZIP code and the store's delivery service replies with the soonest date the gift can arrive. A date on or before Thursday, December 24 means it lands before Christmas; a later one means ordering sooner, or sending it as a gift for the days after.
Beyond Northern New Jersey, gifts travel by courier on weekdays, and an order in before 2 p.m. goes out that day.

How to choose a Christmas gift
Six things the season's orders point to.
Wine leads at Christmas
Wine was in 41% of Christmas orders, more than the 31% across all orders 2023–2025. The Christmas gift baskets with wine are the natural first stop for someone who likes a glass.
Liquor or champagne
Liquor went into 10% of Christmas orders, against 8% across all orders 2023–2025. Browse the Christmas gift baskets with liquor or, for a toast, the ones with champagne.
A gift without alcohol
For a family with young children, a shared office or someone who does not drink, the Premium Holiday Market Tray with Assorted Chocolates ($92.99) and the Winter Village Holiday Gift Basket with Gourmet Chocolates and Mug ($162.99) hold no alcohol, and the no-alcohol Christmas gift baskets have more.
Festive gifts win the last week
41% of final-week orders held a Christmas-themed gift, compared with 12% of orders placed in November. Early in the season any gift they will enjoy fits; close to the day, most people reach for a Christmas one.
Usually one gift at a time
99% of Christmas orders held a single gift and 1% held two or more. Sending to a long list? The business section below covers bulk orders and scheduled deliveries.
Order on a weekday near the end
Only 16% of Christmas orders were placed on a Saturday or Sunday. The courier works Monday to Friday, so a weekend order bound for the rest of New Jersey waits until Monday; same-day delivery, only in Northern New Jersey, runs on weekends too.
Christmas gifts for clients and staff
Businesses sent 19% of Christmas orders, close to the 18% across all orders 2023–2025, and they planned further ahead than anyone: 47% of their Christmas orders went in more than two weeks before December 25 and 27% in the final week, against 36% of everyone else's orders in that week.
