Custom Lapel PinsÂ
Lapel pins are an excellent Christmas merch gift. Family and friends can all share matching pins when they gather for Christmas Eve and Day, and take them home as party gifts. Lapel pins make a great annual tradition—you can give new ones out to family members each year! Adding backing cards helps make your lapel pins retail-ready and allows you to enjoy a higher markup, if you intend to sell them online or in-store.Â

Custom SocksÂ
Socks are an easy merch item no matter the holiday, because everyone needs and wears ‘em! We recommend adding a header card to make them retail-ready if you plan to sell them. If you’re giving them away to friends, family, clients, or staff, then just go ahead and start crafting some fun Christmas designs—perhaps adorned with symbols like gingerbread men, candy canes, Christmas trees, presents, and reindeer!

Custom StickersÂ
Did you forget that stickers are trending in 2022? You can come up with a Christmas-themed sticker pack with different designs or you can do individual Christmas stickers to give out one by one. Like all small custom merch, we recommend adding a backer card to make them retail-ready.

Custom Cufflinks and Tie Bars
Cufflinks and tie bars are an excellent choice for Christmas merch because, for many families, Christmas is a somewhat formal occasion. Christmas dinner, Christmas Eve church services, and the like often require dressing up. Custom-made cufflinks and tie bars with a Christmas theme let your customers stay fancy without sacrificing a bit of fun holiday flair. Make sure to add special packaging to get a higher markup!
