Holiday Prep

I've been photographing Christmas items for the past two days and now I can't get all the carols out of my head.

 

On the plus side I'm staying pretty close to the listing calendar I set for myself.

 

Where do you stand with your holiday prep?

Good night and good luck

Re: Holiday Prep

I've sold some Halloween and Christmas fabrics recently.   I have a few Christmas ornaments that I could list, but haven't done so yet.

Re: Holiday Prep

As a buyer (only), I will buy autumn, Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas all year long. You can have your crummy Valentine's Day and Labor Day and everything in between. Give me fall and winter!

I have my fall decorations up, I've packaged up the Halloween gifts for relatives in other states, and I've wrapped up all the "cozy mysteries" I give to my friends every year. You know, the ones you can read in one rainy afternoon . . .

So get to posting all those holiday items so I can buy, buy, buy!

Re: Holiday Prep

I've been thinking about photoing and listing holiday stuffs; does that count ?

Re: Holiday Prep

I usually start listing Christmas stuff in July (Christmas in July sale!!), and in August I focus on fall and Halloween listings. Seasonal products are already selling well. Since many of my customers are crafters, I know they want to be working on projects well ahead of the holidays, and I'm here to help. 🙂

Re: Holiday Prep

remember this  - When it is June in January, you probably are in Rio De Janeiro.

Recall once i sold a pair of sandal to  a person in Alaska during January.  I had to ask why they bought them, their reply was they were going to Rio.

Re: Holiday Prep

Ordered more Priority boxes, bought pool noodles on end of season sale for 25 cents each, will review other shipping supply needs this week. Listing---and selling----Holiday stuff. Trying to get better organized to improve listing and shipping flow.

I need to drag my crates full of holiday stuff out of my shed but it's 112 degrees in there. lol

Sure hope I didn't pack any candles in outside boxes 😉

How do you package pool noodles, or are they for your own use?

Re: Holiday Prep

S/he uses them for packing material as an alternative to bubble wrap or whatever! Clever person!

Me too 🙂

 

I use them to protect stemware when packing 🙂

 

Thing is ... they aren't really ever out of season here in Florida ... so the moving sales is where to find them.

The Dollar stores and Big Lots used to sell the cases (36 in a case) ... now they will only sell you singles LOL

Re: Holiday Prep

Watch out when buying used pool noodles in Florida. There have been several instances of snakes making cosy homes of them. Just saying...lol
