Say you were at a holiday craft show and there were lots of vendors with all sorts of different stuff. What would you be most interested in buying? Tell me what it would look like, what it would be made of, what it would be and how much you would pay for it.
I own my own craft/novelty shop and I need new ideas. It can only be handmade crafts - and obviously, something that people would buy. Got any ideas?

I personally love card making - and handmade cards. I am 13 so am not exactly rolling in cash, but would pay about £3 (sorry if you need it in dollars) for a nice card. Kits and books too are great. You can make little pieces to go on cards and sell them too. They are great and i use them alot.
Whenever you go places, there are dozens of item on sale for that place, such as "I <3 NY" T-shirts and "Mind the Gap" underground bags for the London underground - see if you can think of somthing to make the the viollage, town, or city where your shop is.
Lastly i think little moulded things are sweet, and many people in my family collect them. Little painted figures that can be made with moulds and hand painted - and as long as its a good job - thats always a buying point for my parents/me!
I hope this helps :)

I generally go for the more complicated stuff. I have a weakness for glasswork, so I would be interested in various objects. I'd be most likely to buy glass ornaments, just because they don't take up a lot of space and I don't feel bad if I don't use or display them all year. I also appreciate high quality woodworking of any type and would buy it if I could afford it.

I am a crafter and I also sell handmade items from my own website. I'll buy things I can't make myself, or things I could make but don't want to take the time. They have to be cheaper than I could make them myself. Things I wouldn't have the tools for, like laser woodcutting or handmade beads.

I add a couple of new xmas ornaments to my collection every year. They have to be something unique and out of the ordinary.

I make polymer clay beads, not just little round ones, I make little girls, holiday themes, and just about anything you can think of! These sell really great for me!

Make some glitter, shiny stuff. It will catch the eye.
