Preparing for the Online Christmas Market: My YouTube Channel Launch and Holiday Market Finds

As the festive season is fast approaching, I am filled with joy and excitement. The twinkling lights, cozy decorations, and the warm gatherings of friends and family bring back such wonderful memories. This year is special because I'm embracing the holiday spirit with an Online Christmas Market and launching my YouTube channel! Join me as I show my makes for this market and share my creative content ideas.

The Joy of the Online Christmas Market

In today's world, online markets have become more valuable than ever. They provide a platform for artisans and small businesses to showcase their unique items right from their homes. Supporting local creators while discovering special gifts is something I truly enjoy, so when I get to make some of those items that make people smile it is truely priceless.

This Online Christmas Market I take part in each year is a space full of enchanting products that capture the spirit of the season. It is full of small sellers like me so you can really find some unique things for gifts. For instance, you can find enamel pins, handmade stationery (which is obviously what I will be selling), candles, prints, bookish gifts, needlefelt and much more! Of the items showcased a lot of the sellers will be offering a % discount on their online shop sales and lots do freebies also. Best thing is that these items are crafted by individuals from small businesses and every sale means so much to help the little fish like me and my fellow makers going in their dreams.

Online Eharts Christmas Market details

The Eharts Christmas Market starting on the 8th November 2024 through that weekend is always an amazing event. I will be offering 15% off when you use EHARTS in the discount box on here and on Etsy, you will also receive a free exclusive die cut sticker with your order when you use this code on the market.

My YouTube Channel: A New Adventure

Alongside the market, I am ecstatic to announce the launch of my YouTube channel which is happening very soon! I am hoping by the end of this year I will be up and running posting videos full of small biz running day to day and my life being a disabled, self employed Mum. I will pre-warn you I come with no aires or graces you see me as I am which is very often getting things done but in my own weirdly funny way. I will be sharing trials and tribulations of my art business, unboxing and packing content, art content and me just being me....fumbling words and what not lol. This space will allow me to document my journey, share gift ideas, and highlight remarkable moments but also the lows to show the true side of running a business from home.

Engaging with my viewers in this way feels exciting and personal as you get to behind the scenes.

Why Online Markets are Changing the Game

Online Christmas Markets are reshaping how we experience holiday shopping. They empower local businesses, bringing consumers closer to artisans who pour their hearts into each item. Supporting creators boosts our communities, especially this year when many small businesses are recovering from difficult times.

Shopping online offers convenience and safety, allowing me to check things off my gift list without additional stress. The latest statistics show that 45% of holiday shoppers prefer online shopping for its ease and comfort. I can browse at my leisure, compare prices, and read reviews - all while enjoying my favourite holiday beverage.

When I find something special, it reminds me that handmade gifts carry personal stories and memories that mass-produced items simply do not. For example, purchasing a custom-made gift for someone can create a meaningful connection that lasts beyond the holiday.

Each item I discover tells a story worth sharing, and I am excited to showcase these finds on my YouTube channel, demonstrating how to incorporate them into holiday traditions.

Embracing the Spirit of the Season

The holidays are about connection, joy, and giving to ourselves and others. This year, I am thrilled to embrace the Online Christmas Market and launch my YouTube channel, enhancing my celebration and sharing it with the world.

Let’s celebrate the season, supporting talented creators who enrich our lives with their beautiful works. Remember, whether you are shopping for yourself or others, there is magic in gifting items created with love and care.

Stay tuned for exciting updates as I embark on this adventure. Happy shopping! May your holidays be filled with warmth and joy!
