How much does shipping cost?

We don’t offer scheduled ship dates, but we’ll show you the best way to create the perfect holiday surprise!

Unfortunately, we don&#x2019;t offer scheduled shipping dates since carrier delays are common during the holiday rush.&#xA0;We recommend choosing an early delivery, and hide the package until you&#x2019;re ready for the surprise! On the big day, place it in the mailbox or on the porch to make it look like it just arrived from the North Pole. &#x1F4EC;This gives you full control and keeps the magic alive!&#x2728;
