4. The Perfect Way to Package a Thoughtful Gift

My go-to way to market Crafty Gift Pockets is as fun, creative gift packaging. It adds a little personality to gifting something like a gift card or cash. Bonus points, because now your gift recipient can use the gift pocket for some of the things mentioned earlier in this post!

Let your audience know how fun it is to package small gifts inside a Crafty Gift Pocket!

5. Party Favors for a Themed Birthday Party

If your ideal customer is the type of parent that likes to throw fun, extravagant birthday parties, a Crafty Gift Pocket would make a head-turning treat back to hand out as party favors!

The Cactus Pocket would be great for party themes like tacos, Cinco de Mayo, llama and cactus, or any sort of cactus/succulent party theme.

The Cow Pocket would be perfect for a farm-themed party, animal-themed party, a Chick-Fil-A party, or a cow print party like “Holy Cow I’m One” or “Moo Moo Look Who’s Two.”

The Egg or Chick Egg gift pockets would be fun for a chicken-themed party, farm-themed party, or a KFC-themed party (if you’re into that).

6. Selling at Farmers’ Markets

If you set up a booth at your local farmers market, try taking some gift pockets the next time you go. I think the Egg, Chick Egg, Cow, and Cactus pockets would sell well at farmers’ markets. How cute would a basket of Egg gift pockets be made in different “farm fresh egg” colors?

Crochet your gift pockets in organic, natural fiber yarns and they will be a true crowd-pleaser at farmers’ markets!

7. Crafty Gift Pocket Keychains

Another fun/easy way to market Crafty Gift Pockets is as a keychain! You can grab some colorful keyrings off Amazon, attach them to your gift pocket, then show your customers how they could use this in their life.

Does your ideal customer have school-aged kids? Show a gift pocket attached to a backpack holding hand sanitizer or lunch money.

Does your ideal customer have small babies? Show a gift pocket attached to a diaper bag holding bandaids and Neosporin.

Does your ideal customer go to the gym? Show a gift pocket attached to a gym bag holding water flavoring packets.

Whatever session of life your ideal customer is currently in, show them how a gift pocket keychain can be beneficial.

Here is a video I shared showing how to attach keychain findings.

8. Classmate Gifts

Crafty Gift Pockets would be perfect for adding creativity to classmate gifts! Market them to your audience in a 25-pack! They’d be fun end-of-the-year gifts, first-day-of-school gifts, or even Valentine’s Day gifts!

The Pencil Gift Pocket would be perfect for classmate gifts, but so would the other designs!

You could attach a card that says

“You’re udderly fantastic” with the cow pocket.
“You’re one cool chick” with the chick pocket.
“I think you’re EGGcellent” with the egg pocket.
“I’m a SUCCA for you” with the cactus pocket.
“You’re TOAD-ally cool” with the frog pocket.

Have fun and get creative with these! Everyone loves a good pun 😉
