Yule 2026 | Last Order Dates & Festive Deliveries
If you are hoping to place a Thorn & Claw talisman beneath the Yule tree this year, please take heed of the dates below.
Each talisman is made to order, cast and finished by hand before beginning its journey to you. This takes time, and with the festive season comes the possibility of postal delays, particularly for those travelling across the seas.
To give your order the best chance of arriving in time for Yule, I would always recommend ordering as early as you are able.
Last Order Dates for Yule 2026
INTERNATIONAL STANDARD — TUESDAY 1 DECEMBER
Sent with Royal Mail International Standard. Delivery times vary by destination, and customs may cause additional delays.
INTERNATIONAL EXPRESS — MONDAY 7 DECEMBER
Sent with DHL Express, with delivery typically taking 1–5 working days once dispatched, depending on your destination.
UNITED KINGDOM — MONDAY 7 DECEMBER

Please remember that these are recommended final ordering dates rather than guaranteed Christmas delivery dates. Every care will be taken to ensure your talisman reaches you in good time, but postal delays and customs are beyond my control.
A Little Late for Yule?
If you have missed the final order dates, all is not lost.
A Thorn & Claw gift card allows someone dear to you to choose the talisman that speaks to them most. A little piece of the wild, chosen in their own time.
Gift cards are a lovely alternative for those wishing to give something meaningful without worrying about festive delivery dates.

Orders Placed After the Cut-Off Dates
Orders placed after the dates above are still very welcome, but may not arrive in time for Yule. These will follow the usual made-to-order turnaround of approximately 4–6 weeks.
Should you have any questions about an order or delivery, please do get in touch. I will always be happy to advise where I can.
Thank you, as ever, for supporting independent craftsmanship and choosing to carry a little of the wild with you.
