How to sell handmade Christmas gifts online
Give your handmade gifts a catalog link that works in WhatsApp and Instagram, so people see every item with its price and order in a few taps. Offer gift wrapping as an option, ask for the gift message in the order note and publish a clear last-order date. WAStore sets this up free in about 90 seconds and takes no commission.

Step by step
- 1
Choose your gift range
Start with your bestsellers and add one or two bundles or hampers — they make choosing easy and raise the order value.
- 2
Write descriptions people can buy from
Size, materials, colours and how long it takes to make. If you personalise, say what can be changed and ask for the details in the order note.
- 3
Create your store from the gifts template
It comes with sample gift products, a Christmas banner and falling snow. Replace the samples with your photos and prices.
- 4
Add gift wrapping and messages
Add “with gift wrap” as an option with its own price, and ask customers to write the gift message in the order note.
- 5
Publish your last-order date
Check your carrier’s Christmas deadline and put your own last-order date in the banner. After that, switch to pickup or local delivery.
- 6
Share everywhere you already sell
Your WhatsApp status, Instagram bio, local groups — and a printed QR code of your store link at your market stall.
Handmade gifts that sell well in December
- Candles, wreaths and Christmas decorations.
- Jewellery and accessories, which are easy to post.
- Knitwear, scarves and hats.
- Soaps, bath sets and natural cosmetics.
- Personalised items — names, dates, photos.
- Ready-made hampers at three price points.
Christmas markets and online, from the same stock
If you sell at markets, put a QR code of your store link on the stall: people who don’t want to carry a gift around can order it for delivery, and you can take orders for items that sold out on the table.
WAStore also has a free point of sale for your stall. Sales there and orders from your online store share the same products and order list — and with stock tracking on Pro, the same stock count, so you don’t sell the same wreath twice.
