Why Thanksgiving Is the Real Christmas Deadline This Year

Most people think about Christmas shopping the week after Thanksgiving. For personalized, made-to-order keepsakes, that instinct runs backwards. The made-to-order process — proofing, printing, pressing, shipping — needs lead time a big-box shelf item doesn't.

Step 1: Know your timing

These aren't arbitrary marketing dates. They're built around real production and shipping time for a small, made-to-order operation — not a warehouse that ships same-day.

• Need it by a certain day? Email tsocustomkeepsakes@gmail.com and we'll make sure you can get your order in time.
• Local pickup is available in the Yakima Valley and avoids shipping delays. If you need it last minute, please email tsocustomkeepsakes@gmail.com BEFORE you order and we'll let you know what's possible.

Step 2: Decide what you're giving and to whom

Before ordering, get specific: Is this for your own kids, for grandkids far away, for a Sunday school class, for a gift exchange? The Nativity Story Magnet Set works differently depending on the recipient — a family doing Advent at home uses it one way, a grandparent mailing pieces weekly uses it another.

Knowing this upfront also determines how many sets you need, and whether you want the early-order priority to apply to more than one.

Step 3: Order early

A moment worth keeping

Moments that whisper are worth remembering. Because moments fade. Love doesn't.

Step 4: Confirm arrival timing

Once you've ordered, your confirmation gives you an expected arrival window. If you're mailing pieces to family gradually rather than giving the whole set at once, plan backward from when you want the first piece to land.

A gift that arrives on December 20 is still a good gift. It just isn't an Advent gift anymore.

Your Photos. Your Moments. Your Story. We press them so they stick around.

How a 3.5-inch photo magnet becomes part of the story

Our custom photo magnets are professionally produced as 3.5-inch round keepsakes. They are big enough to actually see the faces in the picture, but small enough to belong on the refrigerator, the filing cabinet at work, or the side of a metal lamp in grandma's bedroom.

You provide the photograph. We help you make sure the resolution, the crop, and the framing honor the moment. Most people send us a phone photo or a scan of an older print, and we walk them through the rest. The keepsake itself does the work after that — quietly, every day, for years.

How to start

Email tsocustomkeepsakes@gmail.com with a short note about the photograph you want to preserve and the moment behind it. We'll respond with simple next steps — how to send the image, a brief design questionnaire, and information about custom order options.

There is no shopping cart and no checkout. Every keepsake we make begins with a conversation, because every keepsake we make is built around a story.
