Christmas tableware wholesale from iWine. FDA/LFGB certified. 50+ global retail partners. MOQ 300pcs. Lock production before Oct 15. Get quote in 24h.

For in-stock designs, October 15, 2026 is the safe cutoff. After that, we can only guarantee January 2027 delivery. Custom OEM projects need to start by mid-September.

Yes — we keep 200+ Pantone swatches in stock. Provide a Pantone code (e.g. Pantone 18-1664 Fiery Red) and our decal team will match it exactly before production.

0.8% on stock items, 1.5% on custom OEM (industry average: 3%). Every shipment includes a 2% overage allowance free of charge to cover transit breakage.

Absolutely. Mixed SKU containers are our standard practice — you can combine wine glasses, cheese boards, and gift sets in a single order to hit the MOQ across products rather than per design.

Stricter than FDA. Mandatory for products entering Germany, Austria, Switzerland. Most US-focused suppliers do not hold this — verify before ordering.

Lead-free decal decorations must explicitly pass Prop 65 — it's a $2,500 per SKU penalty if you get caught. We test every decorated piece.

Required for Christmas gift sets sold as houseware in EU retail. Re-tested every December for the new compliance year.

HS Code 7013 (glassware) vs 7010 (containers) changes your duty rate by 4%. We provide HS code advice with every proforma invoice.

Solid-color wine glasses (smoke grey, sage green, deep amber) with subtle gold rim decals outsold glitter/red/green patterns 2:1. Retailers report AOV 18% higher.

Continuing strong from 2025 — bee-shaped cheese knives, bee-emblem wine stoppers, botanical-print cheese boards. Mainstream retail loves the garden aesthetic.

Small 8x6 inch boards riding the girl dinner content wave. Higher margin than full-size boards, lower freight cost per unit.

Buyers prefer build your own gift set — 1 board + 2 knives + 2 glasses + 1 stopper. Higher perceived value, lower inventory risk (components reordered individually).

This category has been saturated since 2023. Margins compressed, returns higher from audience fatigue. Skip it in 2026.

A $0.30 lower unit price from an unverified supplier often becomes $2.00+ per unit after defect replacements, freight insurance claims, and lost sales from late delivery.

The fix: Lock production before October 15 for guaranteed December delivery. This is the single most important deadline in the Christmas wholesale calendar.

We analyzed 50,000+ units of our 2025 Christmas shipment data to identify what actually converted at retail — not what got views on social.
