In addition to constructing custom furniture, I have recently ventured into selling personalized gift items. Accumulating leftover material from furniture building led me to ponder on its potential use. Initially, it did not occur to me that crafting small gift items could be a viable option. Often, I would give what I deemed as scrap material to family for their sauna. The idea of creating smaller items did not seem like a worthwhile endeavor to me. However, my wife's persuasive encouragement prompted me to give it a try.
Together, we brainstormed some basic concepts such as cutting boards, coasters, and magnetic bottle openers. I was uncertain about the appeal of these items on their own. After careful consideration, we decided to invest in a laser engraver to add a personalized touch to our gifts. Venturing into online sales was a new challenge for me, which involved a significant learning curve.
While we had not participated in craft shows before, we recognized their potential and embarked on the necessary planning and preparation. Overall, this journey has been a delightful exploration of new facets of business that offer continuous learning opportunities.
