 Gift Ideas From Etsy Success
Last month I shared a few tips in my Ideas for the Holidays email (reread it here). If you missed it, here's a few no-fail gift ideas that may generate a
a best seller in your shop.
1. Personalized and custom items make great gifts.
2. Items for men are few and far between — yet chances are we all have men in our lives we need to shop for.
3. Complement the hot mainstream gadgets with a cozy or accessory! How about a handmade pod for those iPods?
