Best Selling Items on Etsy That Generate Over $10,000 a Month

Etsy generates billions of dollars in sales each year. With figures this high, it’s not surprising that many sellers are bringing in over $10,000 per month from their shops and listings.

But which products get the most sales and earnings? I gleaned some data to pull some products that are selling like crazy on Etsy and earning shop owners plenty of cash in the process.

All of these best selling items on Etsy are customized or personalized.

Here are a few things to note about these items and my process:

I used third-party data tools to get this information.
Many of these listings are on sale right now. I used the non-sale price to estimate earnings. Some sellers do run sales all the time to make it look like you’re getting a deal when you see their listing. Keep this in mind. But even at sales prices, these listings easily make over $10K a month.
Etsy charges fees for sales and listings, so this will affect the seller’s profit.
Overhead and other seller expenses are not taken into account.

If you’ve been thinking of starting an Etsy or just launched your shop, these bestselling items will give you some inspiration.

Best Selling Items on Etsy That Generate Over $10,000 a Month

Custom Wooden Guitar Cases

Many of the best selling items on Etsy are niche items. Why? Because it’s hard to find them anywhere else.

Custom wooden guitar pick cases are just the sort of thing you can’t find on Amazon, a big-box store or even a guitar shop.

Etsy shop CraftsByAden saw an opportunity to fill a need in the guitar pick market for custom cases and ran with it.

Just take a look at the stats from these two best selling listings:

Custom Wooden Guitar Picks Box

Starting at $30.49 for just the box; $48.55 for a box with 4 picks; $16.96 for just a custom pick
22,413 sales
20,860 favorites
6,299 reviews
Release date: November 2, 2023

In less than a year, this product has gotten tons of sales. CraftsByAden also gives buyers tons of options. They can purchase just a custom box, a box with a custom pick, boxes with multiple picks or just the picks.

Each option has its own price, so let’s do some math to see the range of what this listing could be generating each month.

At the time of writing this, this listing is about five months old. So, this means that the listing has gotten about 4,482.6 sales per month (22,413 sales total in 5 months).

The cheapest option is $16.96 for just a single pick and the most expensive option for this listing is a custom box with four picks at $48.55.

This means that this listing could have made this seller anywhere from $76,024 to $217,630 per month.

One thing I want to point out is that this listing’s weekly sales spiked in January and then dipped down over March and early April 2024. For example, from January 22-February 04, the shop was getting about 2K sales per week. By March 26-April 01, sales were down to 587 per week. Still impressive, but the figures above are just a very rough average.

Personalized Wooden Guitar Picks Box

Pricing: The same as the previous listing for all options
15,272 sales
14,987 favorites
4,416 reviews
Release date: November 2, 2023

What’s interesting about this listing is that it’s for the exact same product and from the same seller as the previous listing. Yet, it has gotten fewer total sales, favorites and reviews.

The pricing is the same, so we can easily adjust the previous figures to see how much this listing has made.

With 15,272 total sales over five months, that’s about 3,054 sales per month.

If the cheapest and most expensive options are the same as the previous listing, then this product could have generated anywhere from $51,795 to $148,271 per month for this seller.

Clearly, there’s demand and a market for custom guitar pick cases and also for custom picks.

Note: All of this data came from EtsyHunt’s tool.

Custom Flower Jewelry Travel Cases

Custom jewelry cases are another item that gets a ton of sales on Etsy because it’s another one of those niche items that people can’t find anywhere else.

The most popular personalized cases are made of leather or faux leather, and are pocket-sized. They fit just a few essentials, have a zippered closure and a pretty floral design with the person’s name engraved or printed on the top.

You can find quite a few sellers offering similar products, but each has its own design options.

But here’s the important question: how much do these products make?

Let’s take a look at the data:

Birth Flower Jewelry Travel Case from JosephCustomProducts

$24.96 for engraved boxes and $8.32 for plain boxes
66,175 sales
75,036 favorites
20,062 reviews
Release date: September 22, 2022

Over the last 19 months, this product has had 66,175 sales, which is about 3,482 sales per month.

Looking at the prices above, this listing could have made the seller anywhere from $28,970 to $86,910 per month.

Note: All of this data came from EtsyHunt’s tool.

Engraved Birth Flower Jewelry Box from Lamoriea

Here’s a similar product from a different seller. I used Koalanda to get the data for this listing, which shows that in the last 30 days, it has gotten:

1,910 sales

Prices range from $10.54 for a blank box to $21.74 for a personalized one.

So, we can estimate that this product could have made the seller anywhere from $20,131 to $41,523.

Personalized Rubber Book Stamps

Book stamps are hugely popular with book lovers, and personalized ones are a hot commodity on Etsy.

It’s really not a revolutionary product. It’s nothing more than a custom ink stamp. But people love them. Of course, making custom stamps may not be easy for a home crafter, but if you have the budget, you can outsource the manufacturing. Or you could use metal stamping or engraving to create stamps.

Let’s look at how much this kind of product can make on Etsy by looking at listing data.

Book Embosser Stamp from StampByMeStudio

$11.99 for just the ink pad and $34.49 for a custom stamp and ink pad
20,723 sales
35,107 favorites
5,310 reviews
Release date: September 14, 2023

StampByMeStudio’s product has been wildly successful and got more than 20K sales in just 7 months. That’s about 2,960 sales per month.

The cheapest listing option is $11.99 and the highest is $34.49, so this listing could have made the seller anywhere from $35,490 to $102,090 per month.

From the Library of Book Embosser from PickledStamps

Over on Koalanda, I found data for another similar listing from PickledStamps. This seller has gotten 1,830 sales in the last 30 days. Prices for this product range from $23 – $45, depending on whether you get an embosser or regular stamp with ink.

If we do the math, we see that this listing could have generated the seller anywhere from $42,090 to $82,350 in the last 30 days.

Personalized Mama Sweatshirts

Custom apparel has always been popular on Etsy, and that won’t be changing anytime soon. Mamas especially love to buy personalized sweatshirts, and one of the most popular trends is to put their kids’ names on the sleeve of the shirt.

Personalized sweatshirts like these are some of the best selling items on Etsy.

How much do they make? Let’s look at some listing data from EtsyHunt.

Custom Mama Sweatshirt from TrendTeesApparel

$24.99-$34.49, depending on size

Over the last 8 months, this sweatshirt has gotten 15,051 sales, which is about 1,881 sales per month.

Prices range from $24.99-$34.49, depending on the shirt’s size. With these figures in mind, this listing could have made the seller $47,006 to $64,875.

Personalized Mama Sweatshirt from LoveSuna

In 7 months, this listing has gotten 20,782 sales, which equates to about 2,968 sales per month.

With prices ranging from $23-$32.55, this seller could have made anywhere from $68,264 to $96,608 per month from this listing.

Personalized Cutting Boards

Custom housewarming and wedding gifts are hot sellers on Etsy. Nothing beats an artisan-crafted gift that’s personalized with the new homeowner’s or married couple’s name.

One item that tops the list of best-sellers is a personalized cutting board.

There’s quite a bit of competition in this niche, but most sellers seem to be doing very well.

Let’s look at one of the top sellers and their listing to estimate how much they make.

Personalized Cutting Board from GiftsToEngrave

$79.94-$279.00, depending on the size of the cutting board
61,278 sales
28,498 favorites
17,186 reviews
Release date: February 18, 2022

GiftsToEngrave’s listing has been live for 26 months, which means it generates about 2,356 sales per month.

With non-sale prices ranging from $79.94-$279, this seller could be earning $188,338 to $657,324 per month.

While I have no way of knowing for sure, I suspect that this seller runs sales all the time and their prices are really just the sale price. Let’s run the figures for their current sale price, which is 75% off.

Right now, their smallest board is $19.98 on sale and the largest is $69.75. At these prices, the seller may earn $47,072 to $164,331 per month.
