If you mean you want to buy now and not give the mushroom kit until Christmas - the answer is for sure yes. The kit does not become active until you follow directions open, soak, and mist your mushrooms-to-be. A major impact on long it takes for the mushrooms to grow to maturity is TEMPERATURE and, if in a dry environment then mist a lot, Humidity. Warmer/moist = fast : Cooler/dryer = slower. Good Luck

From their website: https://backtotheroots.com/faq/mushroom-kit#q11How long can I store the kit before I need to start growing it?The kit will stay fresh in the box for months before you have to start growing your mushrooms. Make sure you keep your kit in a relatively cool area/room that doesn't receive any direct sunlight (i.e., closet, bedroom). After you open it, however, nature will start doing its thing and you'll have to start misting!

No......think of something else. Maybe canned or fresh from the grocery store.

It should as long as it stays sealed in its package. It does not 'activate' until you open the package and soak the mushrooms. Until then it is in a dormant state and should be good to store for a few months.

Yes, it should last for many, many years. It's build well! Very nice item. I've had three grandson's using it and it's still looks like new.

Absolutely. My grandson is still playing with it a year later. He was 6 last Christmas and it was his favorite gift of all.

I believe it will be fine for a long time, as it is sealed in a way that does not allow any air to enter, which would be the cause of spoilage. If you use it every day, it should last 8 weeks.

I think it will last about the same time. I don't use my computer so much anymore, so it is difficult for me to assess.

It depends on the child...if he or she has started playing with figurines and likes to act out play with them then I'd say yes. If not, I'd probably wait a while. But, it does seem to be pretty sturdy, so it would probably last. My children are very rough on toys and we've had it for four months and everything is still in tact. I hope this helps.

I'm not really sure. However, just as there are things that have a "use by" date or "expiration date", I find that it can be used well after that date. If I had to speculate, I would say it would still be good even up to a year. I might not feel as confident if it were anything other than the original hp, but I wouldn't think it would be a problem.

From my experience, as long as you don't open the packet it can last last many years. I had one in the cupboard for over 5 years and it was still good.

It will depend on who you order if from. I order it about about every four months and it is usely expirires about a year or so. I would contact seller before I order if you are concerned of the date.

I have mine for about a year and it is fine. It should last a long time. A little goes a long way.

Wow, good to know! I will keep my reciept for sure after reading this. I hope Amazon reads these blogs, BTW. And I hope that something this costly would last. My grandmother's TV is a 45-year-old RCA-- I miss the standard of good things lasting long.

I'm not entirely sure but since they're still selling it and sometimes products take awhile to move I would imagine there isn't an expiration date. At the very least it would probably be good until their next console comes out. However, like I said I'm not that sure on this since I just did mine a couple of days after I got it. If you're thinking along the lines of holiday presents then I would say you would definitely be good there.

I would say when the item is purchased/received. I doubt it would begin on christmas. If it is for a gift I would recommend testing when it arrives

Yes I think that would be great. It's a bunch of pieces and took a while to put together. Then she could play with it after opening her other gifts and not wait.

This will depend on the date it was manufactured and purchased, the one I bought was good for about a 15 months.

I don't think so but I need to confirm this with the person I gave this to, as a gift. FWIW, about 6 months or so after I gave it, I asked if it was still a good gift and the answer was yes.

It would last a long time, as long as you take out the battery after each used. Just simple as that..:)
