‘Tis the Season for Hassle-Free Shopping

The holidays are hectic, but your shopping doesn't have to be. Whether it's last-minute essentials like wrapping paper, milk, and cookies or the perfect bottle of rum for spiked eggnog, we've got you covered.

• Find exactly what you want: We're redesigning how you shop for retail products on DoorDash. Now you can search for an item across merchants, with prices and estimated delivery times displayed all in one view. We've started with alcohol* — so you can easily find your favorite bottle of bubbly for New Year's Eve — and we're rolling out the update nationwide across retail categories including beauty, electronics, and more in the coming months.
• Import your grocery lists: We're launching a faster, easier way to build your grocery basket. Simply import from the Reminders app on iOS or paste your grocery list into the DoorDash app to add the items you need to your cart in minutes.
• Cook like a pro: Need holiday feast inspo? We've teamed up with Bon Appétit to give you free access to some of their most-loved, chef-inspired dishes, from no-knead focaccia to chocolate chip cookies, and get all the ingredients you need delivered to your door. To make your list (without having to check it twice), simply choose a recipe from our expertly-crafted catalog, tap the option to "shop the recipe," select your store, and let us handle the rest — no grocery runs required!
• Bundle multiple errands in a single order: In 2021 we introduced DoubleDash, enabling you to add items from an additional store to your order after you checked out — with no additional delivery fee. Now, we're making it easier to plan your multi-store DoorDash order by allowing you to add items from multiple nearby stores to your order before you checkout. This way, you can confidently get everything you need bundled into one order, all without paying an additional delivery fee — it's a Christmas miracle!
• Holiday Hack: Whether you're mailing a gift to a loved one or returning a package, you can use Package Pickup to request a Dasher to pick up prepaid packages from your home and drop them off at a local UPS, FedEx, or USPS for a flat fee.

Sleigh the Gifting Game

Whether you've nailed down the perfect gift or are stumped on what to get, we're making gifting as easy as (pumpkin) pie.

• Send gifts to everyone on your list: With just a few taps, our gifting experience makes it smoother than ever to send thoughtful gifts complete with personalized notes to everyone on your list. We've got everything from sweet treats and bottles of bubbly to flowers and the latest makeup must-haves.
• For the hard-to-shop-for: Not sure what to get? Choose from physical and digital gift cards from hundreds of merchants, including DoorDash gift cards, all in the same place, and select whether you want it delivered straight to their inbox or front door. And from 11/29 to 12/20, enjoy 5%-10% off select digital gift cards.******* Now that's a wrap on holiday shopping!**
• Holiday Hack: Take the guesswork out of finding the perfect gift by offering your loved ones a DashPass membership, which includes access to exclusive deals, members-only benefits like discounted rideshare with Lyft and streaming with Max, and unlimited $0 delivery fees and reduced service fees on eligible orders. It's a gift that keeps on giving for any occasion, with savings all year-round. The best part? You won't have to wrap it!

DashPassing All the Way

DashPass continues to be the most affordable way to order on DoorDash, with members saving an average of $5 on every eligible order.*** We're obsessed with finding new ways to provide unbeatable savings, convenience, and access to consumers to shop for anything in their neighborhood — it's the gift that keeps on saving.

• SNAP/ EBT recipients save more: We're introducing a new, one-year discounted DashPass plan for SNAP/ EBT recipients. Eligible customers who sign up for the plan can enjoy one year of DashPass benefits — like $0 delivery fees and reduced service fees on eligible orders, exclusive offers, and more — for just $4.99/month****. This is a critical expansion of our commitment to broaden food access and reduce barriers to fresh groceries so millions of customers can set the table with their favorite dishes every day.
• Holiday Hack: Last month, we launched a partnership with Lyft to provide DashPass members monthly rideshare benefits at no additional cost. DashPass members can link their DoorDash and Lyft accounts to unlock exclusive monthly benefits and substantial discounts, including 50% off up to 4 scheduled rides to the airport through the end of the year.***** DashPass members now have even more ways to save on everything from meals and groceries to streaming and transportation.
