‘Tis the season for gift giving, and what do you attach to each gift? A tag, label – whatever you call it. And the best part? You only need to create a digital file for these tags once to put your sales on autopilot.
You can make these tags on Canva or something similar and simply resell them. PaperiePrintables is selling these tags for $3.82.

With a star and some ribbon, you can make your own toppers to sell.
23. Personalized Christmas Gnomes
Gnomes are one of the Christmas crafts to sell that I would personally buy. I love gnomes and so do many other people. You can add fun plaid hats, like JustsayItByJB does, or you can opt to make your gnomes look more like Santa or his elves.
If you provide lettering on the gnomes, be sure to allow customers to personalize it.
24. Christmas Themed Earrings
“Looking the part” during a Christmas party or on Christmas Day is part of some people’s personalities. And if they wear earrings, they’ll love Christmas-themed earrings, like the ones that ashley3535 sells.
However, since she sells the earrings for under $2, profit margins will be small.
25. Christmas Banners
NANASUKO sells fun Christmas banners for just under $20, and they’re perfect for celebrations or parties. Easy to make and beautiful to look at, these banners are made with GSM paperboard and have glitter over the lettering to make them “pop.”
You can even buy a banner making kit on Amazon to help you get started.
26. Christmas Punch Needle Pillows
Handmade items always sell really well on Etsy because they’re truly one of a kind. And when you go to bed at night, where do you put your head? On a pillow. Billions of people do the same thing every night and will be more than happy to see that you’re selling Christmas pillows with custom needling.
MiasPillowLabs sells Christmas pillows for $12 each and allows buyers to request their own text and shapes.
