If you’re like me, hearing “what do you want for Christmas?” leads me to feeling materialistic and unfulfilled. Gift giving can be hard, but I’ve put together a list of some of my favorite things that any Etsy seller would love! There’s no guilt in wanting to support your biz.
Add these to your Christmas list and share with your family so they know exactly what you want – to help you grow your business in 2019!
For Getting Organized
Handmade Biz Financial Bundle If you’re struggling with bookkeeping, finances, pricing, expenses, or inventory – this favorite is a must have! The bundle includes the Etsy Seller Spreadsheet (bookkeeping template designed for makers selling on Etsy), Inventory and Pricing Spreadsheet (compute your costs, organize your materials, and formulate pricing including expenses) and video tutorials to teach you exactly how to use these tools!
Goal Getter Planner This makes for the perfect stocking stuffer! I love the simplicity of this planner and the motivational quotes included. At only $7 you can buy one for yourself and one to gift.
For the Office
Dymo Labelwriter 4XL If you’ve been hanging around me long, you know this is my absolute favorite product for Etsy sellers! It integrates with Etsy shipping so you can print labels from the platform at the perfect size. Since it’s thermal printing, you’ll never have to replace the ink! Say goodbye to printing each label, cutting them out, and taping on your box – this does it all! You can read more about my obsession with Dymo here + my other favorite shipping supplies!
Shipping Scale I use this scale daily to ship my Etsy orders! Easy to use and an affordable gift.
Desk Set Organizer Is it just me or do you think clearer with a clean workspace? This set has everything you need to organize your papers and clean up your desk! And who doesn’t love rose gold?
Dry Erase/Bulletin Board I write my monthly goals and important deadlines on my dry erase board so they’re front and center in my workspace. I love this set up, with a bulletin board for pinning inspiration!
For Photography
LightBox Standing on out on Etsy is crucial to getting views and more importantly, sales. Having quality photos is what leads shoppers to click on your products! I recommend a lightbox for getting the best product shots. Read more about how to stand out on Etsy in this post!
iphone holder with remote This tripod is great for shooting products or yourself! (Buyers love to see behind the scenes photos on social media!) I love this version because it includes a remote!
For Marketing
TailWind App Spending too much time on Pinterest? You can automate that. Set up your pins one time – weekly or monthly and let TailWind pin to your boards at the optimal times. This tool is a game changer! Want Pinterest tips for Etsy sellers? I’ve got that here!
All Marketers are Liars by Seth Godin This book was a bestseller for a reason. Understanding simple marketing, how to connect with your ideal customers, and embracing your story. It’s a quick read and helpful mindset shift as your promote your own Etsy shop!
Books
You Are a Badass This is my favorite book. Yes, there are cuss words but the overall theme is about believing in yourself and going for your goals. I bought five copies after I read it to give to friends cause it’s really that good!
Big Magic After reading this, you will truly believe it the magic creativity and allow it to be a part of your life. It’s a really uplifting book, full of Liz Gilbert’s personal stories that will leave you ready to jump into your next project full force.
Steal Like an Artist Stealing like an artist is an inspired kind of theft that is necessary to growing our creative minds. It goes against the grain to imitate the work of others, but this book gives you permission to do just that! This book is small, a super short read, and would make a great stocking stuffer!
