The air is getting crisp, leaves are turning golden, and the scent of pumpkin spice is all around. Thanksgiving is just around the corner, a special time for gratitude, family, and creating warm memories. It’s the perfect occasion to gather with loved ones and share stories, and what better way to spark a story than with a beautiful book?

To make sure your special gifts from MamaBear Books arrive in time for Thanksgiving celebrations, we’ve put together the holiday cut off dates. Ordering early ensures your books will be ready for those cozy holiday moments, whether you’re traveling to see family or welcoming them into your home. Let's make sure those treasured stories are in your hands before the turkey is on the table.

Why Ordering Early Matters

The holiday season is the busiest time of year for shipping carriers. Millions of packages are being shipped across the country, which can lead to unexpected delays. By placing your order ahead of our cutoff dates, you can relax knowing your gifts will arrive with plenty of time to spare.

Ordering early gives you peace of mind and helps you avoid the last-minute rush. You can check one more thing off your holiday to-do list and focus on what truly matters: spending quality time with your family. Plus, ensuring your books arrive on time means they can become part of your Thanksgiving tradition, perhaps as a special story to read after dinner or a thoughtful gift for a young family member.
