December Daily® 2025 | Schedule & How It Works
Each year before the release of the
December Daily® collection our team likes to go over how the Order Selection Period works to refresh everyone's memory and introduce newcomers to the community about how ordering works for these specific products as well as go over the schedule for how things are going to flow this holiday season as we all prepare to document our December.
We are hopeful that the changes we made to the order process over the last few years will continue to alleviate some of the slow loading and other issues we've faced in the past for this very popular release. That said, we are imperfect people trying to get it right and it's totally possible that there will be issues on the day the products go live (
next Tuesday, August 26th, 2025 at 10am ET). We thank you in advance for your patience if issues do arise. Our goal is to create an awesome experience for you and we don't like it just as much as you don't like it when things don't run smooth.
Below we are showing screen shots of what the shopping experience looks like
on desktop and mobile so you will have the opportunity to be more familiar with the process before the page goes live.
Feel free to ask questions in the comments below.
2025 SCHEDULE
For 2025 will be following a similar schedule that we introduced last year for our Order Selection Period
(see calendar above). Past December Daily® items will be offered at various discounts throughout the second half of the month. Be sure you are signed up for our newsletter and follow us on Instagram to be the first to hear when those items are available to add to your box.
Just like last year we are offering a dedicated sale category to the Order Selection Page that will go live on 9/15 in hopes of making the shopping experience even smoother for those items.
The Order Selection Boxing Period will end this year on Tuesday, 9/30/25 at 11:59pm ET.
STAMPS | We are following the same process as last year for securing your stamp and apparel orders. In order to meet the high demand for stamps, we are asking you to add the stamp sets you would like to receive in your box by 9/8/25 at 11:59pm ET to guarantee your order and that they will be shipped with your box in October. We will be ordering a limited amount of each design in addition to stamps sets secured by customers (those will be available after 9/8/25). If you do not secure the stamps you would like by 9/8/25 at 11:59pm ET we cannot guarantee we will have enough quantity to fulfill demand and they may sell out.
APPAREL | Apparel items will become available to add to your box on 9/8/25. Please place orders for apparel items by 9/15/25 at 11:59pm ET in order to guarantee your items are included in your box that will ship out in October. If you choose to wait to add apparel items to your box after 9/15/25 at 11:59 PM ET quantities will be limited and may sell out.
WALKTHROUGH OF DECEMBER DAILY® SHOPPING EXPERIENCE
When the products go live on Tuesday morning there will be an option under the
December Daily® dropdown menu to shop. Currently the main drop down menu is for the "Travel Collection" - that will be updated to December Daily® when the products go live on Tuesday.
When the December Daily® shopping experience begins you will see that we have broken the products down into seven categories. Each one will have their own tab across the top of your browser window:
My Box, Kits + Albums, Stamping, Embellishments, Paper, and Stickers, On 9/8 an eighth category will be added for lifestyle items titled "Lifestyle". On 9/15 a ninth category will be added for sale items titled "Sale."
Kits + Albums: Includes kits, albums, advent calendar & page protectors.
Buy All: This year we are offering two buy all bundles. One for stamps and one for shop items (excluding kits + albums).
Stamping: Includes stamps, inks, stamping tools, pens, embossing powder, etc.
Embellishments: Includes vellum, chipboard, paper, plastic, adhesive, etc
Stickers: Includes puffy, phrase, number and attacher stickers, etc.
Paper: Includes paper packs, journal card sets, transparencies, inserts, etc.
Lifestyle: Includes mug, apparel items, glass can, enamel pin etc.
Sale: Past December Daily® items will be added in this category on 9/15.
Checkout: Once you have added any items to your box a tab titled "Checkout" will appear in red. You can click this to checkout or use the red button under your box in the top right corner. You will also be able to check out via the red box icon on the top right corner.
When the products are live you will be able to click on any product image and will be taken to a product page that includes a description and additional product details. You will also be able to add to your box from the main shopping page (as you see above) or from the individual product page.
When you add an item to your box from this main shopping page the red "add to box" will temporarily turn green showing you that the item has been added to your box. It will return to red enabling you to add more of the same product if preferred.
PLEASE NOTE: We highly recommend identifying the items you are most interested in and checking out with those things first. Let's say you know for sure you want the Main Kit + Red 6x8 Album. Add those two items to your "DD cart" (the red box icon in the top right) and then go through the checkout process to secure those items. Those items will then appear in your "My Box" tab - as will any additional items you add to your "DD cart" and "checkout" before the 30th.
Items in your "DD cart" ARE NOT secure until you have actually checked out. This is important!
The above screen shot shows where your "DD cart" is located while you are shopping the December Daily® products. You will not be able to add products from our regular shop to this cart - it is a completely separate cart for December Daily® during the Order Selection Period.
You can adjust the amount of the item you want to order or remove the item from your box (o
nly before checking out) in this area. Please make sure to double-check your quantities before checking out.
Once you have clicked "checkout" and gone through that process your products will then appear under the "My Box" tab.
Above is a screenshot of the checkout page for desktop users. We are able to offer flat rate shipping again this year ($15 for domestic, $18 for Canada, and $30 for all other international locations) you will be charged this flat fee the first time you check out. After that it will note "PAID" in green for "Box Bundle Shipping" on any future checkouts.
MOBILE USERS
Did you know that almost 50% of you use a mobile device for shopping on our site?
Here's a look at what you will see on your mobile device. Again, the navigation between the different categories will be right there along the top:
From this screen you are able to add products directly to your box by clicking the small box icon under the product. The small red box in the upper right corner is what you currently have in your "DD cart." Once you complete the checkout process your products will then be viewable under "My Box" in the main navigation.
You will also be able to click on the individual product to see more images or get more details:
If you are shopping from a mobile device you will have an option when you are checking out to "Check Out Right Away"
OR to scroll down to review your details before checking out. Please note that once you have completed checkout you will not be able to remove items or edit order. Please be sure to review your order quantities before checking out.
IMPORTANT REMINDERS

The project will always be more important than the products.
If there are complications on the website when the products go live for purchase, please know our team will be working hard behind the scenes to solve them as quickly as possible.
