There’s Still Time: Ideas for Making Money This Christmas
It’s almost Christmas, but it’s never too late to try and earn a little extra to start your New Year’s budget. Christmas moves everyone’s emotions and pockets, so with a little effort you can raise good money this season.
Christmas baskets
They’re a sure hit this time of year, as as well as decorating and carrying treats, they make great gifts to give to family, friends and work colleagues. Selling to companies as gifts to their employees can also be a great deal.
Some elements are indispensable, as they are part of the Christmas tradition, such as walnuts, chestnuts, candied fruit, citrons, biscuits, panettone and French toast. On the other hand, it is good to explore the niche of people with dietary restrictions. Then there is space for special Christmas baskets for vegans, celiacs and allergy sufferers in general.
Christmas cakes
Themed cakes are great quick business options just in time for Christmas. The secret here is to include elements typical of this time of year, such as nuts, chestnuts, dried fruit, etc.
Simple cakes, when added with these “Christmas” elements, immediately become Christmas-themed products. And that can affect how much you charge for them as well.
Panettone
Buying those panettones sold in supermarkets may also be the option for some, but many prefer a fancier panettone. And this is where you come into play.
First of all, if you have no experience in making Panettone, look for tutorials on the internet, because this is a product that when you make a mistake, the result is disastrous.
You can choose to make panettone with candied fruit or chocolate, but you can also choose to make a savory version to satisfy those who don’t like sweets. The secret here is to try and make something different from what is sold in the supermarket, even to justify the price you will be charging.
Since it is a product that does not keep for long, it is preferable to make your panettone to order, to guarantee the quality and freshness of the final result. If you are already sure of potential customers, you can leave some made ready for delivery.
Christmas cookies
They are traditional in this period and are very good both at dinner and in the following days, in moments with the family or relaxing by watching a movie in streaming.
It’s important to keep in mind that looks matter a lot here, after all, cookies are used a lot in Christmas decorations too. And the kids love it.
Just like panettone, biscuits must be made to order or kept in small stock for prompt delivery. These are products that cannot be stored for a long time, in order not to lose their freshness and crunchiness.
christmas decoration
If you are not very good at cooking, bet on Christmas decorations. Christmas tree decorations, for example, are perfect for selling at the last minute, after all many people are just “slowing down” on work and will start thinking about Christmas decorations at the last minute.
Your chances of earning will be better if you offer something different, themed or personalized. You can create ornaments that allow you to place a family photo, for example. Or you can bet on ornaments with funny messages.
At this time of year you can invest in typical products, such as decorative candles, garlands, nativity scenes, decorative dolls and other items that will decorate your home for Christmas.
Also consider the accessories for dinner, such as date-themed cutlery, tablecloths, napkins and cups. This could be a niche market that you never thought you could bet on.
Christmas Gifts
Many people don’t have the time or don’t want to navigate busy shopping malls to buy gifts. And those who left it at the last minute fear that by ordering a gift online it might not arrive in time for Christmas. And this is where you can offer a creative gift option.
You can opt for handmade jewelry, which is cheaper than jewelry and requires little investment on your part. Opt for quality products, as this may open up the opportunity for you to continue the business even after Christmas.
