Out of Time? Mysteries Are the Perfect Last Minute Gift

As parents, we know this is a hectic time of year. Despite best intentions it’s easy to fall behind on holiday gift shopping. That list of creative ideas from a month ago becomes a frantic late night trip to the mall hoping, just hoping you find something left on the shelves. 

So just a reminder that Mail Order Mystery is a perfect last-minute gift. At this point we can’t deliver before Christmas, but after you place an order, you can download a special gift note that you can print out (or even email) letting a child know that they’re about to receive a Mail Order Mystery. Give them the note as a gift and we’ll ship out the first installment on whatever date you choose.

Or choose our new “All in One Box” option and we’ll send all the installments in one box so they can be doled out as quickly (or slowly) as you choose. It makes a perfect activity for the first week of January before the kids go back to school.


Right now our next available ship date is next week, on December 26. But it takes time for our Mystery Elves to assemble and personalize the mysteries. So if you want your order to be sent out next week then you need to order before Saturday at midnight. If you order after that, the next available ship date will be in January.

Happy Holidays! And good luck with all that last minute shopping.
