Novelty Items: A Good Choice for 2012 Christmas Gifting

For individual shoppers, it is a little bit too early to plan the 2012 Christmas gift list now. However, for resellers or store owners, it is not. Many suppliers have already started their Christmas 2012 early-bird sales. If you are looking for Christmas supplies to get ready for the biggest shopping event of the year, you may find some really good deals from the various offers online around the world.

In one of our previous posts, we have introduced the Christmas 2012 shopping guide for merchants (read the post), in which we shared our knowledge about where to purchase made-in-China products for the Christmas season and how to stay safe with the international shopping. Although the guide basically targets merchants, it fits for end consumers who are prowling the web for best deals on Christmas gifts or other Christmas supplies.

Seeing that both consumers and resellers may need some inspiration to learn about the best Christmas 2012 gift ideas, we decide to research the market and deliver a helpful gift idea guide series for our readers. Here let’s start from novelty items as they are the No. 1 good choice for Christmas gifting based on our research and analysis.

Standing out by creative designs, novelty items can always bring great surprise to gift receivers. Generally, they look this way but work totally the other way. This is the very charm of such products. When you see them at the first glance, you find it hard to identify their real functions. Then with great curiosity you try to dig out what they are and how they work. The whole process can be really exciting. In addition, they are always an amazing decoration for your room, your office or your home. Finally, they are usually easy to afford! Now you understand why we believe novelty items are the top choice for Christmas 2012?

If you do not take a good look at the novelty items yourself, it is hard to image what kind of products can be “novel”. So the best way to get inspiration is to check out the novelty item collections one by one. Generally, you can get a basic idea about what the product is or what it is used for from the item title. Anyway, you need to read the item description in order to uncover the details on how they work.

Though lots of Chinese online shops carry novelty items, most put them under various categories and you have to spend much time and work very hard to spot them. So far we have only found two sites that have an exclusive channel for all kinds of novelties: Aliexpress.com and Dinodirect.com. Both sites are well-known big players in the Chinese international online trading arena. In particular, the Novelty Items zone at Aliexpress.com seems to be one of their most widely visited areas and they have been giving great prominence to this category since they were founded.

The novelty items at this site are sorted into three major categories: novel toys, novel households and novel consumer electronics. Here are some of the most popular novelty items there:

Christmas 2012 Wholesale Shopping Guide for Merchants

On the Chinese online global trade market, the Christmas shopping season generally lasts from early September to late December of the year. From the official blogs or Weibo (the most famous Chinese microblog tool, something like Twitter), I learnt that some popular Chinese wholeasale shopping websites have started their Christmas sales right from the beginning of September, with promotions targeting Christmas 2012 launched one after another.

If you are a merchant looking for Christmas supplies at great discounts from China for your inventory, it is the appropriate time to take action now. Although the deepest discounts are usually offered before and after Christmas, you can’t afford to miss out the precious opportunity to make huge profits by working as an early bird. You know, when you sell something other stores do not offer, you may win more customers, and what’s more important, you can set the prices with margins as high as possible!

Anyway, I personally don’t encourage you to take all deals at the early stage of the Christmas sale season. As I mentioned just now, better discounts are coming up. I would suggest you choose the products that are hot-selling at the present and are priced already with good discounts. For instance, clothing, shoes, bags, bedding sets, faucets and a lot more fashion & accessories as well as home & garden merchandise are in high-demand anytime. Such goods are not just for Christmas, but for everyday use. Thanks to the Christmas 2012 shopping season, now they are offered at slashed-down prices!

When it comes to wholesale shopping from China, safety is always the top priority. It is extremely important to choose stores that are reliable, offering quality products and providing satisfactory customer service. But how should we evaluate the credibility of a store we never trade with before? Research, research and research! You will find that the great effort in finding a trustworthy store is totally worth when you spot a wonderful supplier to do business with, which may mean you will source high quality products at lowest prices and gain huge profits.

To confirm that nature of a Chinese online shop, you can follow the basic rules as I suggest below:

Investigate the basic information of the store, from company registration license, year of establishment, authoritative certificates, website Alex ranking, background of the founder(s) to office locations or the like;
Check clearly whether they provide safe payment options like credit card or Paypal. I won’t recommend stores that only accept highly risky payment methods such as Western Union or bank transfer.
Search customer reviews as well as third-party professional reviews and read them as many as possible. From the reviews you can learn a lot of details about the company, which will help you make the decision on whether the store is worth giving a try or not.

Seeing that the research work can be really time-consuming, I will list some of the best-rated Chinese online suppliers for the Christmas 2012 wholesale shopping below for your reference.
