## Questions & answers

**Where can I buy Christmas gifts that aren't from Amazon?**
Right here. Every gift on Xmasgift.shop links to the maker's own shop or to a trusted specialty shop: small makers, family businesses, independent direct-to-consumer brands, plus a few specialty retailers and pre-loved marketplaces that we label clearly. We don't link to Amazon at all.

**Do you sell the gifts yourselves?**
No. We're an independent gift guide. You buy directly from the brand or shop that sells the gift, under its prices, shipping and return policies. Some of our links are affiliate links, so we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.

**How do you choose the gifts?**
We use AI tools to research small makers and direct-from-brand shops, and a human picks every gift and writes down why it makes a good present. Brands can't pay to be included.

**Are the prices up to date?**
We only show a price after checking it on the seller's own site, always with the date we checked. Prices change often around Black Friday, so please confirm the current price before you buy.

**Will my gift arrive before Christmas?**
Shipping deadlines differ by brand, so check each store's holiday delivery cutoff. If it's too late to ship, our last-minute guide has digital gifts that arrive by email within minutes.

**Do you have second-hand or sustainable gifts?**
Yes. Our Pre-Loved Gift Edit features authenticated pre-owned designer pieces and vintage finds, and many of our brands focus on durable, sustainable or handmade products.

**Do you have gifts for people who have everything?**
That's what we're best at: thoughtful upgrades, experiences, personalized gifts and things from makers they won't find in every store. Start with our guides by recipient or by interest.

**Can I keep track of who I'm buying for?**
Yes. Our free gift list planner lets you add people, set budgets, save gifts and mark them as ordered or wrapped. It runs in your browser, with no account and no sign-up.
