Request quoteWhat is the deadline to order your company's Christmas gifts?
It depends on the order type. Counting back from Tuesday, December 15, 2026 (a reference date for handing out gifts before the holidays) and using our actual lead times from artwork approval, these are the cut-off dates:
| Order type | Lead time from artwork approval | Approve artwork by | Request the quote by |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single item with simple branding (mugs, tumblers, pens, ready-made boxes) | 2 to 4 days | Wednesday, December 9 | Wednesday, December 2 |
| Glass plaques, apparel, personal care kits | 5 to 7 days | Friday, December 4 | Friday, November 27 |
| Full project (multi-item kits, special packaging, volume, several deliveries) | 10 to 18 business days | Thursday, November 19 | Thursday, November 12 |
The last column leaves a week to receive the quote (24â48 hours), review the mockup and get internal sign-off. For events with more than 100 pieces, plan on at least 15 business days. If you need the gifts before the 15th, move every date back by the same number of days.
Why do November and December fill up so fast?
Because after July they are the busiest months of the year: 37 orders each in 2025. Many companies want to deliver in the same two weeks, so production fills up.
Companies that approve in October or early November can choose any kit, packaging or technique. Those who arrive in December are limited to items that can be made in a few days. The gift can still be good, just with fewer options.
Where can you order Christmas gifts in Santo Domingo?
At Lemon Creativo, a Dominican company at Av. Monumental #23, Plaza Micro Continental, Unit L-113, Santo Domingo. We handle the whole campaign: selection, branding, packaging, a formal e-CF tax invoice and delivery.

Which Christmas boxes are available, and how much do they cost?
In our catalog they range from RD$918 to RD$6,159 per unit. Reference prices before ITBIS (the Dominican VAT), as of September 2026; they vary with quantity, technique and packaging.
| Box | What's inside | Reference price from | Usually for |
|---|---|---|---|
| "A sweet pause" Christmas set | Seasonal sweets set | RD$918 | Whole team |

Our guide to corporate Christmas boxes covers how to choose what goes inside. Three or four well-chosen items say more than ten crammed into a box.
Who are you giving to, and how much per person?
Define the groups before you look at products. In December most companies give to four audiences at once:
- Internal team: the largest group, where quantity matters most.
- Key clients: the accounts you want to look after, with a more substantial box.
- Partners and suppliers: the relationships that keep operations running.
- Leadership and shareholders: few pieces, best presentation.
Then set an amount per person for each group. A mistake we see often is thinking of one total and splitting it blindly: the team and your most important client end up with the same gift. Our guide to corporate gifts by budget has examples for each price range, and the one on premium gifts for VIP clients covers the top tier.
How we answer a Christmas request
In October and November we get many requests like this one: "We are looking for the perfect supplier for our Christmas gifts, please send your best proposal." Here is how we answer:
- We ask for five things: groups, quantity per group, budget per person, delivery date and delivery location.
- Quote within 24â48 hours, with a mockup of your brand and itemized pricing (product, branding, packaging and service) so procurement can compare line by line.
- Artwork approval and, when needed, a sample.
- Production and piece-by-piece quality control.
- Packing and delivery to one location, per person or per office.
A mistake we often see in December: the address list arrives when the gifts are already finished. If you are delivering to each client's office, build the list with name, company and address while the artwork is being approved. And if gifts carry each employee's name, that list is part of the artwork.
For every other date of the year and its lead times, see the corporate dates calendar for the Dominican Republic.
What does the Christmas campaign timeline look like?
- October: define groups, quantities and budget per person.
- First half of November: request the quote and approve the proposal.
- By November 19: approve the artwork for kits and special packaging.
- November 19 to December 14: production, assembly and quality control.
- First half of December: deliveries, with room for surprises.
Request your quote with the groups, quantities and delivery date: we reply within 24â48 hours and confirm the last day you can approve.
