What is an item or service you are excited to offer for the festive/holiday season? ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ“ฆ

Happy Monday, everyone โœจ

 

It feels very early to start talking about the holiday season but before you know it, the cold will be creeping in and twinkling lights will be up everywhere. 

 

Last year, we got an incredible response from the Community when we asked them to share their favorite item or service they are planning to sell for the season. We got so many replies that we were even able to put together a Community Gift Guide for 2023 ๐ŸŽ!

 

This year, we are once again asking folks to share:

 

What is an item or service you are excited to offer for the festive/holiday season? ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ“ฆ

 

And if you can't choose which one is your favorite, share a crowd-pleaser with us โ€” something that is always a hit with customers every festive season!

 

If you are selling online, don't forget to share a link in your reply too! Can't wait to read everyone's reply โค๏ธ

 

P.S: Need some help with choosing what to offer for the holiday to avoid wastes? Check out @JTPets question on this topic โ€” you may find some great tips and insights โ‡๏ธ

I love the holiday season and two of my favorite books are Happy Halloween and Merry Christmas. With the magic of Venetian window technology, the images move within the book to create a new scene.  Happy Halloween.1.jpegHappy Halloween.2.jpegMerry Christmas.1.jpegMerry Christmas.2.jpeg

We are a smaller Grandpa and Grandma shop. Steve, the artist, turns and carves functional art from local Virginia wood. I do the vending at the local Staunton Farmers Market, collect the money and do the bookwork. It is a great partnership. One of our most popular pieces, which many clients say is hard to find, is our handcarved left-handed cooking spatulas. It's all in the curve! Check out them, along with all of our other pieces on our online store, The WoodArt Studio: https://the-woodart-studio.square.site/s/shop.

Happy and prosperous season to all.

At Dariannaยฎ Bridal & Tuxedo, one of the most popular gifts we sell in November and December is Wedding Gown Preservation Services.  It's a service where a bride can have your wedding dress organically dry cleaned, pressed and placed in a beautiful display box with a handy carrying case.  A second very popular gift purchase during the holidays is a store gift card because about 40% of couples get engaged between Thanksgiving and Valentine's Day.  Mom and grandmom often purchase the bride a gift card to put towards her wedding dress purchase.

 

Wishing all Square Sellers a successful holiday selling season!

I love doing personalised towels. Love it even more when customers come back wanting more.

 

This tractor is just one of many designs I'm adding to my website.

Every year during the holidays and seasons, we have seasonal jewelry, but it always sells out so quick. In order to keep up with demand we have to sell at lest 15 at a time.

That's great to hear @coolkids! Can people order these online, or is there an Instagram or website for folks to check out what the jewelry look like?

I know it sounds cheesy, but I am excited to offer a smile. We sell seasonings (as seen in the pictures) and have had a great first year back full-time. While I am of course looking to sell more, we pride ourselves on our saying "Free smells & smiles". Especially around the holidays, it can sometimes be a happy time and sad for others. We hope we can offer a nice smile to make someone's day better this holiday season. ๐Ÿ™‚

I have a tiny shop in Bracken, TX called, Firelight Finds. It's a plant, gift and vintage decor shop.  I'm going on year two and last holiday season customers loved the candle lines we sell like Santa's Naturals, Fraser Fir.  We had to place two extra orders.  They also love the Woodfire Candle Company line we sell.  Amazing American made products.
