Shipping deadlines, sold-out gifts, and last-minute scrambles — Christmas stress is avoidable. Get email reminders weeks before you need them, so you have time to shop, plan, and enjoy the season.
Done in seconds. No sign-up required.
It's the same date every year. Yet somehow it always feels like it sneaks up.
Online retailers close express shipping before December 20. If you order late, your gift arrives in January — or not at all.
Popular gifts disappear from shelves in early December. The perfect present you planned to buy is suddenly out of stock everywhere.
Flights and hotels booked in November cost a fraction of what they cost in December. The same seats. A completely different price.
Set it once in January. Get reminded when it actually matters.
Create one reminder for December 25 — or several for specific tasks like ordering gifts, booking travel, and sending cards. Each reminder gets its own advance notice window.
Your email reminder arrives early enough to act — not the morning of December 25. Set 21, 14, or 7 days ahead and we'll keep reminding you until you confirm you're sorted.
Enable recurring and your Christmas reminder fires every year. Set it once and never worry about it again.
Set a reminder 4 weeks out. Enough time to think, order online, and have it delivered with days to spare.
Book flights and accommodation in October or November. December prices are significantly higher.
International post takes 2–3 weeks. Set a reminder in late November to write and send cards on time.
Grocery shopping, table bookings, or coordinating who brings what — a reminder 1–2 weeks out keeps it stress-free.
Set a December 1 reminder to put up the tree. Simple but easy to procrastinate without a nudge.
Remind yourself to confirm family plans, organise Secret Santa, or collect dietary restrictions before it's too late.

"Christmas isn't about how much you spend. It's about how much you meant to."
The difference between a rushed gift and a thoughtful one is usually three weeks of planning. Set your reminder now.
At least 3–4 weeks before December 25. Online gift orders often have shipping cutoffs in early December. For custom or handmade gifts, 6–8 weeks gives you enough lead time.
Yes. Create one reminder for ordering gifts, another for sending cards, and another for booking travel. Each reminder is independent and can have its own advance notice window.
Set the reminder to the shipping cutoff date rather than Christmas Day. Use the subject line to note what you need to order, and set advance notice to a few days before.
Yes. Enable the recurring option and your Christmas reminder will fire every year on the same date. No need to re-create it each December.
Absolutely. Set a reminder for early December with subject "Send Christmas cards" and a 7-day advance notice. International post can take 2–3 weeks, so earlier is better.
Create two reminders with different subjects and different advance windows. Grocery shopping for the feast needs about 1 week notice; gift ordering needs 3–4 weeks.
Yes. Create a reminder per person — "Gift for Mum", "Gift for Jake", etc. Each one is tied to your email and manageable from a single link.
Just set the advance notice to 7 days with a single reminder. You can also disable persistent follow-ups if you only want one notification.
No. Just your email address. No password, no sign-up. The manage link sent to your inbox gives you full access to edit or cancel anytime.
Yes — and that's the point. The best time to set a Christmas reminder is well before December. Set it now and forget about it until the email arrives.
