A name for every stocking: name keychain for christmas

A name for every stocking

On the name keychain

Small, light and personal, so it fits in a stocking and costs little to post. Families order one for each child, and often for cousins too.

Reusable gift tags

On the slim bag tag

A tag with a hole to tie onto a present with ribbon, then keep on a school bag in January. Sell them in sets, one per child.

Neon names for teenagers: neon name keychain for christmas

Neon names for teenagers

On the neon name keychain

The outline lettering looks like a small neon sign, which teenagers like more than a classic keychain. Leave the ring off and it becomes a desk piece.

Merry Christmas shelf words: shelf words for christmas

Merry Christmas shelf words

On the shelf words

Standing words for the mantel or a shelf. Add the family name on the third line to make it personal and to sell it again next year.

Who buys stocking fillers

Parents and grandparents filling stockings for children, adults doing a Secret Santa at work, and people sending small gifts to family in other cities. The buying starts in November and peaks in the first half of December, then drops off sharply once posting dates pass.

Stocking fillers are cheap individually, so the money is in volume and sets. One parent ordering for three children and four cousins is a bigger order than most single gifts.

How to offer it

Make a Christmas menu with a few clear options: a name keychain per stocking, a set of reusable gift tags for the presents under the tree, and shelf words for the family. Fix the colour choices to a few festive pairs, so you can print by colour.

At a Christmas market, keep a board of sample names and take orders for collection or posting later. Our guide to selling at craft fairs and markets covers taking names and payments at the stall.

For online orders, ask for all the names in one message and send one approval picture of the whole set. It saves time for both of you in a busy month.

December tips

  • Post your last order date early and repeat it often.
  • Prepare sample photos in your Christmas colours before November.
  • Print a few common names ahead of time for market walk-ups.
  • Group orders by colour pair and print full beds each day.
  • Offer Secret Santa sets for offices, with the same design for everyone.
  • Keep spare filament in the festive colours; they run out quickly.

Questions

When should I open Christmas orders?

Start posting in autumn and set a last order date that leaves time for printing and the postal rush. Make the cut-off date visible on every post and in your replies.

How do I keep up with orders in December?

Batch the day's approved orders by colour and print full beds. On the Seller plan, paste several names into a bulk order to get all the files at once.

Which colours sell for Christmas?

Red, green, white and gold are the obvious picks. Offer a short list of two-colour combinations rather than any colour, so you can print in batches.

How should I price stocking fillers?

Keep single pieces at an easy price and offer a family set of three or four names at a small saving. Our pricing guide explains how to work out each piece.
