Korean Christmas gifts from Seoul with prices and order dates

Short answer
The best Korean gifts are the ones you cannot easily buy in the US. Think Sanrio editions of Korean makeup and Weverse Shop merch and Korean crafts. Send us the links by 1 Dec 2026 for EMS or by 10 Dec 2026 for FedEx. We buy everything in Seoul and ship it in one box.

Every item below is a real product in a real Korean store. The prices were checked on 2 Nov 2026. Dollar amounts are rough so you can compare. Your quote shows the exact total.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I order Korean gifts to arrive before Christmas?

Send us your list by 1 Dec 2026 if you want Korea Post EMS. Send it by 10 Dec 2026 for FedEx. These dates leave time for the stores to deliver to our Seoul warehouse and for holiday delays.

Can you ship straight to the person I am gifting?

Yes. We can ship to any US address you give us. Just add the name and address to your request.

Can I mix items from different Korean stores in one box?

Yes. Olive Young and Musinsa and Weverse Shop and Coupang can all go in one box. Shipping is charged once per box so mixing saves money.

Will I pay US import duty?

US import duty may apply. For EMS we add the duty to your quote and prepay it when we ship. For FedEx any duty is billed on delivery.

What can you not ship?

We do not ship perfume or aerosol sprays or food or loose batteries. Beauty devices with a built in battery may need FedEx and we confirm before buying.
