Holiday Craft Fair

I'll be selling some items at a craft fair about 2 weeks before Christmas. I'm thinking about selling holiday cards, ornaments, and small wall decorations... holiday themed.

Should I make a couple of non-holiday themed items, too? What types of things do you like to buy at craft fairs?

I like the idea of ornaments and wall decorations with a holiday theme.

Maybe some non-holiday items could be candles, or Valentines Day themed things?

Unless you have the cards done already, I might nix those.  Most people have already sent out their cards by that time, don't you think?

I was thinking that, but I'm just going to have a variety of cards that people can use if they're just buying one. Like, maybe for their loved one or something? I'm not selling card sets. Just individuals. But, the real reason is because it's a lower price point and they're my favorite things to make. I think I'll keep card choices limited, though.

I like the idea of making valentines day type gifts.

 

Thanks!

When you say "holiday themed" do you mean just Christmas?  If so, maybe try some general winter (snowflakes, snowmen, etc.) type things, and perhaps even some items for Hanukkah?  Might appeal to a wider audience that way.

And I love being able to find a unique, handmade ornament at a craft fair, so I'd stop at your table, heh.

You should come down to Florida for the craft fair then!

I will have mostly Christmas and Winter items. I'll have to look into Hanukkah ideas because that's a good point.
