Marketplace: Collections of Small Gift Items

When setting up my handmade merchandise I group gift items with the same or similar artwork into collections and sell them as a package with a discount on the total if someone buys the whole group. Each item is fairly popular and I regularly make new keepsakes and lamps so the shape might be a little different from what you see—a different cigar box, small keepsake or jar.

I only make the tiles in large groups every few months, though, so if the tile sells separately that wouldn’t be part of the grouping until I make more. I keep trying to devise a quicker way to make new tiles!

Here is the Sienna collection for tortie lovers:

This collection includes:

  • a vintage cigar box keepsake box*
  • a small votive lamp
  • a tile

*Sienna’s vintage cigar box keepsakes are hard to keep in stock! I didn’t have one when I took these photos, but I’ve decided to make two or three so I always have one on hand. Below is a photo of one of the recent ones I made and sold.

The lamp is $20.00, the other three items are $15.00 each, so the total would be $50.00, but I keep the lamp at $20.00 and each other item reduced to $10.00 when you buy them all, so the total would be $40.00.



Here is the Lucy collection:

The Lucy gift collection: small square keepsake, large votive lamp and tile.

This collection includes:

  • a small square keepsake box
  • a large votive lamp
  • a tile

The lamp is $20.00, the other two items are $15.00 each, so the total would be $50.00, but I keep the lamp at $20.00 and each other item reduced to $10.00 when you buy them all, so the total would be $40.00.



Interested in a grouping of gifts?

I won’t be attending any more markets this year unless one comes up that I really can’t pass up, but that means that everything is home with me, indoors, and out on my display shelves. If you’re local, send me a message and stop by. I am updating my ecommerce website so until I get those galleries finished I’ve included the shopping cart information here. Remember that they are one-of-a-kind but when I embed shopping cart information into a post I try to update the post if the item sells. If you click the button and get an “out of stock” message, it’s likely been sold.
