Holiday Shopping at Bates Mill Store

Every Bates blanket and bedspread is woven with care right here in Maine. When you shop with us, you’re not just giving a beautiful, lasting gift—you’re supporting American manufacturing and the skilled craftspeople who keep our weaving traditions alive.

Because our products are handcrafted by our small, dedicated team, most items are made to order, with lead times of up to 8 weeks. To help ensure your gifts arrive in time for the holidays, we encourage you to shop early!

Here are a few important holiday shopping dates to keep in mind:

• Orders placed by October 25: Your order is guaranteed to arrive by Christmas.

• Orders placed October 14 - November 30: Your purchase is eligible for our extended holiday return and exchange window through January 31, 2027.

Orders placed after October 25 may still arrive in time for Christmas, and we’ll do our best to make it happen, but holiday delivery cannot be guaranteed.

Have questions about lead times or need help finding the perfect gift? Our friendly customer service team is happy to help! Reach out to us at help@batesmillstore.com, and we’ll do our best to help you find a gift that arrives in time for the holidays.

We also encourage you to subscribe to our email newsletter to ensure that you do not miss out on the release of our limited edition 2026 Holiday Throws!

Thank you for supporting our small, Maine-based manufacturing team. We’re proud to be part of your holiday traditions!
