Holiday shopping is a good opportunity for Etsy sellers to introduce new products and reach customers looking for gifts. If you run a women’s apparel or accessories brand, seasonal designs can help you give shoppers more reasons to visit your store.
You don’t need to launch dozens of products at once. Start with a few that fit your audience, create designs people can connect with, and make it easy for customers to personalize their purchases.
With print-on-demand, you can test new ideas without buying inventory upfront. Here are 12 products to consider for your holiday collection.
1. Custom Embroidered Aprons
Custom Aprons make practical gifts for people who enjoy cooking, baking, or hosting. Add a name, a short phrase, or a simple design to create something more personal.
Ideas like “Mama’s Kitchen,” a family name, or a baking-themed illustration can work well for gifts aimed at parents, grandparents, and home cooks.
2. Personalized Tote Bags
Custom Tote bags are useful for shopping, work, travel, and everyday errands. They also make easy gifts because shoppers don’t have to worry as much about getting the right size.
Try botanical illustrations, monograms, simple artwork, or designs inspired by hobbies and interests. You could also offer totes as part of a matching gift set.
3. Embroidered Beanies
Custom Beanies are a good option for shoppers looking for smaller gifts during the colder months. A simple embroidered initial, small symbol, or understated phrase can give a basic beanie a more personal feel.
You could create designs for friends, couples, outdoor enthusiasts, or people who prefer minimal accessories.
4. Women’s Custom Pools
Custom Women’s Polos offer an alternative to the usual holiday sweatshirts and T-shirts. They’re worth considering if your customers include small business owners, teams, clubs, or families looking for coordinated outfits.
A small embroidered logo, name, or simple graphic can keep the design versatile enough to wear beyond the holiday season.
5. Embroidered Visors
Custom Visors may not be an obvious holiday product, but they can suit customers in warmer climates or those planning winter vacations. They’re also worth considering for golf, tennis, and other outdoor activities.
Keep the design simple with a monogram, small graphic, or brand logo. You could also build a collection around a particular sport or lifestyle.
6. Custom Hoodies for Women
Custom women’s hoodies are a natural fit for holiday collections because people buy them for everyday wear, lounging, and gifting. They’re also easy to build a collection around, with options for different colors, graphics, and fits.
Consider oversized styles, vintage-inspired lettering, embroidered initials, or designs aimed at specific interests. Make sure your product photos show the fit and fabric clearly.
7. Women’s Custom Sweatshirts
Crew-neck women’s sweatshirts offer a similar appeal to hoodies without the hood. They’re a good choice for customers who prefer a simple, easy-to-layer style.
Design ideas include short phrases, pet-inspired artwork, seasonal graphics, and small embroidered details. Keep the message specific to your audience instead of relying on generic holiday slogans.
8. Printed Leggings
Custom women’s leggings can suit brands focused on fitness, yoga, or athleisure. For the holiday season, you could explore winter-inspired patterns, coordinated sets, or designs that work beyond December.
Before choosing a product, check the fabric, stretch, sizing, and printing method. These details matter because customers need to know how the leggings will fit and feel.
9. Women’s Graphic T-Shirts
Custom women’s T-shirts are a straightforward way to introduce seasonal designs without changing your entire product lineup. They can also appeal to shoppers looking for affordable gifts.
Try typography, illustrations, hobby-based designs, or phrases that reflect your audience’s personality. Pay attention to the cut and fabric, and include clear sizing information in your listings.
How Apliiq can help: Apliiq offers customizable T-shirts in different styles and fabric options. Choose a women’s-specific fit when it suits your audience, and select a printing method that works for your design.
10. Custom Jackets and Outerwear
Custom women’s jackets can give your store a higher-priced option for shoppers looking for something more substantial than a T-shirt or sweatshirt.
Consider embroidered denim jackets, personalized outerwear, or simple designs built around a particular hobby or community. Since jackets can vary significantly in fit and material, provide accurate product details and sizing information.
11. Women’s Custom Shorts
Custom women’s shorts can work for brands serving customers in warmer climates, fitness enthusiasts, or shoppers looking for comfortable lounge clothing.
Try monograms, small embroidered graphics, or coordinated designs that pair with matching tops. You can also position them as year-round products rather than limiting them to a holiday collection.
12. Women’s Tank Tops
Custom women’s tank tops are useful for workouts, layering, travel, and warm-weather wear. They’re also an easy way to expand a collection without introducing a completely different product category.
Consider motivational phrases, minimalist graphics, or designs tied to a specific interest. If you already sell hoodies or sweatshirts, complementary designs can give customers another way to wear your brand.
