Frequently asked questions

Is it normal to give a gift before a job interview?

It is not expected, which is why it is nice. A small, useful gift or a card is plenty.

Will it arrive in time?

Everything is printed on demand, so production takes 2 to 5 business days plus shipping. If the interview is this week, send a card now and the gift as a congratulations or a "you have got this" for the next round.

What if they do not get the job?

Every pick here still works, and the humor helps. Our guide on what to say to someone looking for a job has message ideas.

When should I order to get it before Christmas?

For delivery by Christmas, order by Thursday, December 10 for US addresses and by Monday, November 30 for Canada, the UK, Europe, Australia and New Zealand. Everything is printed on demand, so earlier is always safer.
