If you're feeling particularly crafty, you can even try making your own Christmas stockings or tree skirts. These items can be personalised with names or monograms, making them a unique and thoughtful gift for loved ones as well as adding that individual style to make you stand out when selling them for a profit.

Places like Hobbycraft and Amazon have some great blank baubles ready and waiting for you to decorate and personalise.

If you have a Cricut machine, cut out vinyl designs and personalisations for acrylic baubles or simply get the paints out to decorate some ceramic baubles. The creative possibilities are endless.

Selling your Christmas crafts can be done in a variety of ways. You can set up a booth at a local craft fair, sell your items online through websites like Etsy, or even offer them to friends and family.
