The festive holiday season is just around the corner, and for Etsy sellers, it’s the perfect time to add some holiday cheer to your shops. Print on demand (POD) services offer a wide array of customizable items that can be adorned with delightful holiday designs, making them the perfect additions to your Etsy inventory and helping you spread joy and warmth to your customers while boosting your sales.

Personalized Christmas Ornaments

Ornaments are timeless treasures that hold sentimental value for many families. With POD, you can offer personalized ornaments featuring names, dates, or special messages. Ornaments shaped as festive snowflakes, hearts, or the traditional circle can be customized to create one-of-a-kind decorations that your customers will cherish for years to come.

Cozy Christmas Sweatshirts and Hoodies

As the weather turns colder, people are eager to snuggle up in warm and cozy clothing. Offering holiday-themed sweatshirts and hoodies with fun designs like snowmen, elves, or classic holiday greetings is a fantastic way to spread holiday cheer. Customers will love wearing these festive garments to their gatherings and celebrations. And don’t forget that ugly sweater parties have become a beloved tradition during the holidays. Include some sweatshirts and hoodies with “ugly sweater” designs in your shop to add to the whimsy of the holiday season.

Festive Home Decor

Bring the holiday spirit into customers’ homes with festive POD home decor items. Customized pillows, wall art, and doormats featuring trees, wreaths, and joyful messages add a warm and welcoming touch to any living space. These items make great gifts and help create a magical ambiance for the holiday season. Some POD providers such as Printify also include tree skirts and stockings in their catalogs.

Merry Mugs and Drinkware

POD mugs and drinkware are popular choices for any holiday and always make great gifts. Create cheerful designs with cute reindeer, snowflakes, or witty holiday puns to make sipping hot cocoa or eggnog even more enjoyable. These items are perfect stocking stuffers and can add a dash of holiday spirit to every morning cup of coffee.

Gift Bags and Wrapping Paper

Make gift-giving even more special with personalized gift bags and wrapping paper. With POD, you can offer various sizes, colors, and designs featuring the names or initials of recipients. Customers will love the idea of presenting their gifts in such a unique custom manner.

Pet Apparel and Accessories

Don’t forget our furry friends during the holiday season! Offering holiday-themed pet apparel, such as Santa hats or elf costumes for dogs and cats, is a fantastic way to cater to pet owners who love to include their pets in the holiday celebrations.

With the holiday season fast approaching, Etsy sellers can leverage the power of print on demand to create a magical shopping experience for your customers. From personalized ornaments and cozy sweatshirts to festive home decor and merry mugs, the options for holiday-themed POD items are limitless. Embrace the holiday spirit and infuse your Etsy shop with delightful designs that will spread joy and warmth to your customers.
