What's New with Marion's Mittens in December

It seems like I just wrote a November post! How is December here? And we are just 11 days away from Christmas... Luckily, I finished my shopping yesterday. I have a good start on wrapping although it seems like that never ends.


Social Activities


Yesterday kicked off the #12DaysofMittens on Twitter @MarionsMittens and Instagram @MarionsMittens (which is also going to Facebook @MarionsMittens).

What's the #12DaysofMittens? I'm sharing a picture of a different pair of mittens each day until Christmas! It will be too late to shop for some of them for Christmas gifts, but the gift of warmth is welcome all winter long.

Holiday Shipping Deadlines


Speaking of getting things in time for Christmas, the USPS holiday shipping deadlines are fast approaching!

Although the USPS says that packages shipped first class mail by December 19 will arrive on time, I will be disabling that shipping option on Wednesday, December 17. The mail seems to be moving particularly slowly this season due to the recent closure of some distribution centers. Even priority mail packages are taking longer than usual.

I cannot guarantee when the Post Office will deliver packages. I try to track and follow up with all deliveries, but I have no control once a package is in the hands of the Post Office.

What's Popular


I will do a round-up of the most popular colors and sizes in early 2016. (It's weird to type 2016! I feel like we just started using 2015.) But here's a sneak peek for you: the front runner for the most popular mitten color of the year is BLACK! Can't go wrong with a classic, I guess!

Black mittens have sold out every time I've listed them in our shop. Marion has given me two or four pairs at a time and out the door they go within a few days of being listed! I'm hoping to have them back in stock in January.

Sales


In January or February there will be a sale or free shipping promotion in our shop. In order to find out what it is, you will have to be signed up for our email list! You can sign up on our contact page.
