    • Advent calendars will be delivered prior to Thanksgiving, between November 13 - 25, regardless of the date of purchased. Thank you for your patience and understanding during the busy holiday shipping season.

    • Shipping is free in the contiguous United States; we do offer shipping to Hawaii and Alaska for an additional extra charge that will be added at checkout. 
    • Unfortunately, we do not offer international shipping. It’s a little too much for us to manage and do well!

    • The physical box is 21 inches high x 14 inches wide x 4 inches, with each daily item being contained within a 3 inch square cube. 
    • Our returning states calendars each return with 6 - 12 new vendors or products. If you are interested in an experience with entirely new treats this season, I encourage you to consider purchasing or gifting one of our other state offerings.

    Free shipping! 

    We will attempt to have orders delivered 1 - 3 days before the date you requested but due to the nature of the shipping during the pandemic and holiday season, may be unable to deliver on the precise day you select. Advent calendars will be delivered in the month of November prior to Thanksgiving regardless of the delivery date that you select. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

    Can I order multiple boxes going to multiple places in the same order? 

    If you are ordering fewer than five boxes, we encourage you to create a separate order for each box being ordered. This allows you to receive an individual tracking number for each order.

Once you receive your confirmation, please forward it to us with the shipment details for each box. Please include the recipient names, mailing addresses, and gift messages for each box. We will handle the rest to ship it out for you.

    Are you real?

    We've sold out three years in a row by November 15th, so we encourage you to place your orders before it’s too late. Once the gift boxes are sold out, they’re gone until next year. If you want us to hold the purchase and ship it at a later date, please send us an email and we’ll do our best to accommodate you.

    Shipping

    When will my items ship?

    Such a great experience!

    We absolutely loved our Delicious Illinois advent calendar. It was so fun each day to discover a new treat from a small business across the state, and everything was delicious! I discovered a few new favorite businesses that I can order treats from, and I plan to gift this advent calendar to family and friends in future years.

    Thank you, Kate, for your glowing 5-star review of the Delicious Illinois Advent Calendar! We are so happy to hear that the calendar added to your enjoyment of the holidays. We're especially pleased that from among the small local businesses featured, you discovered a few new favorites whose products you'll just have to regularly keep on hand! Great that you'll be returning for the 2025 Delicious Illinois Advent Calendar.

    Great holiday gift!

    It was a gift for my mom, who lives alone and doesn’t get out much anymore. She really enjoyed opening each day’s door to see the treat inside. The food was all delicious and generous sizes. Quite a variety, too.

    Thank you for the wonderful 5-star review of the Delicious Illinois Advent Calendar, Cheryl! What a thoughtful and perfect gift for your Mom, delivering holiday cheer right to her home. Great that she enjoyed the delicious treats and the fun experience of opening each day. With Illinois Advent Calendar we strive to feature generous samples of artisan treats from small local businesses situated around the State. Thanks again for letting us the holiday joy the calendar brought to your Mom!

    Delicious Illinois Advent Calendar

    Sent to our daughter and son-in-law who recently moved to Washington state from Illinois. They loved the daily reminders from home!

    Thank you for your comments and the 5-star review of the Delicious Illinois Advent Calendar, Andrew! Good news that your daughter and her husband in Washington enjoyed the calendar and were especially tickled to get to reminisce while savoring treats from many fine small artisan food producers from across Illinois. As your daughter experienced, Delicious Advent Calendars are a fun and thoughtful way to exchange with friends and family tastes and flavors from all over the country.

    Clever ideas and very tasty gifts!

    We're pleased to hear that you enjoyed and sounds like you had some fun with the Delicious Illinois Advent Calendar - thanks for sharing and for the 5-star review, Sandy. As you enjoyed, you no doubt saw that the Illinois Advent Calendar is full of treats from small businesses located across Illinois. For calendar items folks particularly enjoy, they often pay an in-person or online visit to the vendors to learn what other wonderful treats they offer, more often than not bringing home a new favorite.

    My Illinois kids loved their adventure box! So far, the fudge was a family favorite!

    Glad to hear your kids in Illinois enjoyed the Delicious Illinois Advent Calendar, Vicki! What Advent Calendar would be complete without fudge?! Of course everyone enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing and for the 5-star review of the Illinois calendar! It along with the entire collection of Delicious Advent Calendars are fun gifts to send and, of course, to receive. Fun to share treats crafted by small local artisan food producers from a hometown, a new location or from many other states or regions in the country.
