This is what they get
What to write when a Christmas present will not arrive in time
“Merry Christmas. Your present is somewhere between Leeds and you, and I refuse to let a courier decide how today feels.”
“It shipped on the 12th, which I thought was clever. It was not. Open the map, watch it crawl, and know it is coming.”
“This is the part I actually wanted you to have today. The box is late, the words are on time.”
How it works

- Pull the red string to uncover the parcel label with their name.

Frequently asked questions
What do you send when a Christmas gift will not arrive in time?
Something real on the day, not an apology in a text. Say plainly that it is late, show where it actually is, and put the message you wrote for the gift tag on the page. Do not promise a delivery date the carrier has not promised you.
Do I need a tracking number?
No. With one, the parcel moves along the map by itself and the carrier’s scans appear as stamps on the route. Without one, the card simply says it is on its way, with your words and the expected date if you know it.
Can I send it on Christmas morning?
Yes - it is built and sent in minutes, and it opens as a link in any browser, on any phone, with nothing to install on the day everyone is opening things. Free to build and preview, €3 to send.
