Holiday Gift Guide FAQ
What Is The Best Jerky Gift?

It costs $45, or $31.50 with code GIFT30 through December 15, 2026. Choose the Beef Jerky Gift Box for classic flavors, or the Brisket Jerky Gift Box for soft, tender brisket.
When Should I Order For Christmas, And How Fast Do Orders Ship?
Order by Tuesday, December 15, 2026 for Christmas delivery. Orders usually ship the same or next business day. J&K currently ships within the United States only. After December 15, a J&K Virtual Gift Card is delivered by email, so it works as a last-minute gift.
How Do I Get The Holiday Discount?
Enter code GIFT30 at checkout to get 30% off a Greatest Hits Gift Box through December 15, 2026. That brings each $45 box down to $31.50. The code applies to the two Greatest Hits boxes only, not to bundles, single bags, the Gift Box add-on, or gift cards.
Do The Variety Bundles Come In A Gift Box?
No. Variety bundles ship without a gift box. To make a bundle a gift, add the J&K Gift Box for $5. It is a glossy black box that fits both 2 oz and 7 oz bags, so it works with every bundle, with a QR code so the recipient can reorder their favorites. Greatest Hits boxes already come in a gift box.
Can I Add A Gift Message Or Ship The Gift Directly To The Recipient?
Yes. At checkout you can add a gift message and ship the order directly to the recipient.
What If I Don't Know What Flavor They Like?
Pick the Beef Jerky Gift Box, Greatest Hits. It has five flavors with heat from none to medium: Whiskey BBQ, Sweet & Spicy, Original, Peppered and Korean BBQ. If they prefer tender jerky, pick the Brisket Jerky Gift Box. If you are still unsure, send a Virtual Gift Card in $25, $50 or $100.
How Long Does Jerky Last, And Does It Need Refrigeration?
Unopened J&K jerky is shelf-stable in a cool, ambient place and needs no refrigeration. After opening, refrigerate a resealable bag and eat the jerky within 3 days. If the bag is not resealable, eat it the same day.
Can I Return A Jerky Gift?
