How Will You Sell Leftover Mother’s Day Products?

by Shirley George Frazier on May 6, 2010

look for unique containers for momsItems you purchased to add to Mother’s Day gift baskets that, for whatever reason, don’t get sold by Sunday are most likely items to place in gift baskets for other occasions.

If you follow the “don’t buy items with special occasion words written on it” rule, your inventory can be repurposed.

  • Gardening products are spring and birthday basket candidates.
  • Chocolates can be added to employee-of-the-month gifts.
  • Items trimmed with lace are perfect for any basket made for a woman.
  • One year, when 12 of my tea cup and saucer gifts didn’t sell, I called some male clients directly after Mother’s Day to learn if they had overlooked sending gift baskets to female family members, and because they had, all the tea cups and saucers were sold that week.

    My hope is that your Mother’s Day sales eclipse last year’s. While you sell, also make plans for post-Mom’s Day orders. The month’s not over yet.

    What’s your creative method for repurposing special occasion gifts and baskets?
