What’s inside a Days holiday box? 

  • Our fun illustrated holiday guides give you everything you need to know in a nutshell.

  • Modern and original holiday gear you get to build and make your own.

  • Activities, projects and holiday inspiration to engage the entire family.

  • Make holiday art, play classic games, cook traditional food and sing together.

What age are Days holiday boxes appropriate for?

Our boxes are designed as an experience for the entire family. While we target ages 5-12, we have users as young as 2 collaborating with their parents as well as college kids who use our boxes to celebrate a holiday away from home.

What are Days brand values?

  • Offer great design at affordable prices - so that as many families as possible can afford to celebrate their traditions.

  • Keep the experience simple, without losing the meaning behind the traditions so that each one can add their own interpretation to it. 

  • Make things relevant to our modern lives and culture today, while respecting original texts and framing them as such. 

  • Design experiences that appeal to both kids and adults - we don’t believe things need to be childish to appeal to kids, nor boring to appeal to adults.

Subscriptions

What are DAYS subscription plans?

Our subscriptions help you celebrate your traditions at home. We start shipping the holiday boxes with everything you need about 2-3 weeks before each holiday.

We offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee— If you are not satisfied with your purchase, you can return it for a full box refund within 30 days of your order’s delivery. Also, you are free to cancel your subscription at any time (terms apply).  

Currently we offer two types of subscriptions:

  • Annual billing subscription plans - 8 boxes a year or 4 boxes a year.
    The entire prepay term is paid for upfront, you will not be charged again for any shipments through the course of the prepay. Annual Billing subscription plans auto-renew at the end of the prepay term for the original term plan. This means that if you initially subscribed for the All Jewish Holidays Annual subscription plan, it would renew for an additional year at the end of the subscription term. We change our boxes every year so your loved ones will enjoy new and exciting projects every year. By subscribing to our annual plan you are locking down the price, guaranteeing availability as well as supporting our business (which we very much appreciate!)

  • Per-holiday subscription plans - 8 boxes a year or 4 boxes a year.
    You will be charged for the first box at the time of your purchase. The next boxes bill 35 days before each holiday. At the end of a subscription term, the subscription auto-renews. We change our boxes every year so your loved ones will enjoy new and exciting projects every year.

Absolutely! Days Holiday Boxes are a popular hostess gift or a great gift for your neighbors, grandkids, kids and even for yourself. Just add the gift recipient name during checkout and be sure to include a gift message.

How do gift subscriptions work?

Almost half of our subscriptions are gifts! Gifts from grandparents to their grandkids, from parents to their kids or from one family to another. Simply add the gift recipient name and your gift message during checkout. They receive the boxes with a designed gift message, and you receive the invoices. 

Gift message is sent with the first box of the subscription.

Our subscriptions auto renew, so if you would like your gift to be cancelled after a year, kindly contact us*

*If you cancel your subscription 35 days or less before the holiday you will be charged for the upcoming box and your subscription will cancel right after that. As long as you cancel more than 35 days before the holiday you will not be charged and your subscription will be cancelled immediately.

How do I add a gift message?

Adding a gift message is very simple and is part of our checkout process.

Can I create multiple subscriptions?

Quite a few of our users have multiple subscriptions, many times for an entire extended family. You can have more than one subscription associated with one account, each with a different recipient and shipping address. For example, you can make one 8 boxes subscription for your family, shipping to you, and another 4 boxes gift subscription for your sister in law, shipping to her.

How can I create multiple subscriptions?

  • If all boxes are going to the same address you can simply choose the quantity of boxes during checkout and all boxes will ship out together as one order.

  • If boxes are going to different shipping addresses, you need to create one subscription at a time. With the first subscription, an account with your email address is created along with your secured payment and billing info. To create another subscription, just login to your account with the same email address and start with the checkout process again.

Managing Your Account

Do you manage accounts? 

We do! After you subscribe, an account with your email address is automatically created for you. In order to login to your account, all you need to do is enter your email address and receive a one time password to your email. If you didn’t receive the one time password email - please check your spam/junk folder.

Where can I manage my subscriptions? 

You can manage all your subscriptions here.

How do I update my billing information?

If your billing information changes, we invite you to correct or update your information as soon as possible. You can update your billing information at any time on your account page. Simply enter your email address to receive a one time password to access your secure account. There you will be able to edit your Payment Details (credit card number) and/or Billing Address.

How do I update my shipping address?

Updating Shipping Address for Per-Holiday Subscription Plans:

You can update your shipping information at any time on your account page.

As orders are created 35 days before each holiday, changing your address on the account less than 35 days before the holiday WILL NOT CHANGE THE SHIPPING ADDRESS OF YOUR UPCOMING HOLIDAY BOX. To change the address for the upcoming box, you will also need to reach out to us so we can help. 

If you have any concerns about a shipping address that cannot be updated in time, please reach out to our customer support.

Updating Shipping Address for Annual-Billing Subscription Plans:

Any changes to the shipping address must be processed by the Days Support team. If you would like to change the shipping address of an upcoming box, you must reach out to our customer support team 35 days prior to the holiday. If you reach out less than 35 days prior to the holiday, we may be unable to update your shipping address for the upcoming box. 

Changing the shipping address on your account after your initial purchase or renewal WILL NOT CHANGE THE SHIPPING ADDRESS OF YOUR UPCOMING HOLIDAY BOX(ES). To change the address for the upcoming box, you will also need to reach out to us so we can help. 

You can update your shipping information for the next term of your subscription at any time on your account page.

Why has my subscription been suspended?

A subscription labelled as “Suspended” means that there was an issue charging your credit card during the billing cycle. To update your billing information, please log into your account page or contact our customer care.
