Christmas is closer than it feels, and each brand we sell has its own cut-off for getting a parcel to you in time. We have checked each one’s Christmas 2026 dates and listed them below. Each date already allows one extra working day for us to process your order, because orders can take a little longer to handle at this time of year.

Order MeowBaby by Wednesday 2 December, MONIO and Velinda by Friday 4 December, Wigiwama by Wednesday 9 December, MINICAMP and gifts from our UK stock by Monday 14 December, Roma, Arias and Antonio Juan by Tuesday 15 December, and Banwood and personalised gifts by Wednesday 16 December. Order by 12 noon on the day, and earlier if you can: couriers are at their busiest from now until the New Year.

Will couriers be slower than usual before Christmas?

Yes, they can be. From now until the New Year, couriers carry far more parcels than at any other time of year. The delivery estimates on our product pages are generally accurate, but at this time of year couriers can run slower than normal. That is outside our control, and it is not something we can predict or speed up once a parcel is on its way.

So please don’t leave it to the last minute. The dates above are the latest we would recommend, not the best time to order. If a present matters on the day, order it as soon as you have chosen it, and leave stocking fillers until later.

Christmas delivery: your questions answered

What happens if I order after the last order date?

We will still send your order as normal, and it may still arrive before Christmas. We just can’t be confident that it will, so if it is a present for the day, order before the date for its brand.

What time do I need to order by?

By 12 noon on the date shown. Orders placed after midday are processed the next working day.

My basket has items from different brands. Which date do I use?

Use the earliest date. Items from different brands are usually sent separately and may arrive on different days, and the earliest date is the one that gets everything to you in time.

Is delivery guaranteed before Christmas if I order in time?

We can’t promise it, because the couriers’ Christmas workload is outside our control. Ordering by the dates on this page gives your parcel the best chance of arriving in time, and ordering earlier gives it more.

Do you deliver over Christmas and New Year?

Some of the brands we sell close for a few days over Christmas and New Year, so orders placed late in December may take longer than usual to be sent. Each product page shows its own delivery estimate, and if you are unsure, email us at hello@nestoro.co.uk and we will check for you.

Ready to order?

Start with anything from a brand with an early date, especially larger pieces such as ball pits, playhouses and bean bags. The bikes, prams and personalised gifts can follow a little later.
