I know, forgive me, it is only mid-October, but as with all things fashion, being prepared for the season ahead is EVERYTHING.

As a way to be on track for the holidays, now is the time to have your designs made and ready to go for your print-on-demand products.

I was connecting with print-on-demand brands recently and saw so many brand owners are still looking for the right supplier 😯 If you want to reach the holiday shoppers, you best choose a supplier now so you can load up your designs and start your promotions!

🎄 10 HOLIDAY PRINT ON DEMAND IDEAS 🎄

to get your brands seasonal products launched on time.

1. Custom Apparel

Design unique, personalised t-shirts, sweatshirts, joggers, pyjamas to feature your holiday-themed graphics or designs.

2. Custom Mugs

Create festive coffee mugs with holiday designs or customisable messages. Every few years I give my kids a new mug for their hot chocolate or tea. Adding the date to the mug as a memorabilia would be a great way to mark the year (better than my sharpie solution 😄) These make excellent gifts for hot beverage enthusiasts.

3. Custom Phone Cases

Custom phone cases make such great stocking stuffer sized gifts. Cute motifs, graphics or art work on phone cases are so smart, especially when you have teens in the house.

4. Custom Throw Pillows and Blankets

Embroidered throw pillows and blankets with holiday-themed patterns or printed holiday greetings to bring out every year will allow your customers to refresh their home decor with your brand’s designs.

5. Personalised Calendars

Custom wall or desk calendars are a brilliant annual design you can make and a great way to help people stay organised in the coming year. Niche down even more and create calendars for a specific market. In fashion production, for example, creating a desk calendar where brands can keep track of their production schedule (hmm… not a bad idea 😉) would be extremely helpful.

6. Custom Holiday Cards

Do you still give out holiday cards? I love when they come in the mail, and save every single one. It seems to always be the last thing I think of putting in the mail though! Having a stack of pre made cards on hand ready to mail out, with sweet holiday graphics would make it so much easier.

7. Custom Canvas Prints

This has to be the most popular when it comes to AI designs. Wall art sells.

8. Custom Tote Bags

Designs on reusable tote bags featuring holiday illustrations will make for eco-friendly gifts. Use suppliers that offer organic cotton and a variety of sizes.

9. Custom Aprons

Especially over the holidays, custom aprons make for a practical gift, but I don’t suggest putting this one under the tree. Offer it while you put your own on to help out with the holiday cooking.

10. Custom Puzzles

We are huge puzzles fans. I love how as my children get older, the pieces get smaller and the designs are more complicated to piece together. Spending time over a puzzle and a mug of hot chocolate is a lovely way to spend time together.

Remember even if you are using pre made products like blanks, they still have your creativity and your designs on them. To keep your holidays and little less stressful as a brand owner, get started now so it is ready to run as we get closer to the season.

hope this helps!
