Would you buy your kids coasters?

megraw_jac

Hi moms! I need some advice! I just started making some cute coasters sets and made some for my kids ( elmo and Sofia the first) with their names on it and they loved them so I was thinking about adding some cute kid themed coasters to my etsy store to sell. Would you buy coasters for your kids? Like Dora, Toy story and even personalizing them with their names? If so how much would you pay? Any advice would be great!!! Thanks!

Answer
Definitely, personalized kids things are very popular, and this might make it more fun for kids to sit down to eat their meals. If you're open to making custom coasters, you should consider listing them on Makeably so you dont have to make them in advance and can just make them as you get orders.

Chica from Sprout on PBS KIDS?

KOMomma

Is there a Chica doll that i can purchase on-line? I tried SproutOnline.com already..thanks!

Answer
If your feeling crafty, you could try to make Chica. As for the squeaking noise, get a little doggie toy and stuff it in there. lol My daughter LOVES sprout and always squealed when she seen Chica, lol but I could NEVER find it anywhere online!!

Just find a good pic of Chica and try it. Here's a start...
http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_430xN.90538693.jpg


And on this site, looks like someone DID make Chica and maybe you can contact the seller and see if she's still making them or CAN make you one for your little one. Good luck

Guinea Pig owners: What are some products that you would like to see made?

best kids toys etsy image

Guinea Pig

I am starting an Etsy shop that specializes in guinea pig accessories. Yes, I know there are many people out there already, but they all sell the same stuff! Me and my team are thinking of creative ideas for products to sell. (we're seamstresses) We have already thought of making a guinea pig sling with a cute and comfy holder that is under your arm for the guinea pig. What would you like to see made, or what are some of your every day guinea pig inconveniences that we could over come with a new idea?

Thanks!!!

Answer
In selling market, to make yourself known, you must to:

1) know very well your product's destination (in your case learn all you can about Guinea Pigs)
2) know very well your customer types (see few statistics about Guinea Pigs owners: mens, womans, kids, how hard is to grow a such pet)
3) Guinea Pigs live about 10 years if they are kept in good heart (use that in a fancy way to convince you customers that you products may extend the life and well being of their pets.
4) know your competition, and learn from their (also from their mistakes)
5) be innovative and original (if you have already some guinea pig accessories, you can tell yourself how can be made better with less money). You can try some homemade toys or accessories, or even try to modify what you already have, "in a new light".
6) meet your potential customers on forums and clubs.
7) ask vets opinions about guinea pig's life style and health, and try to tune your products in those directions
8) try to figure that are some types of breeders that may have not a lot time to sher with pets, so they want a "simple" way to keep a pet. Here, imagine a product like aquarium where fish have all they need to live, with minimul interactions.
9) you can include in your products some gadgets to, kids love it, but also can be expensive (here you can check China's way -online- because is cheeper): autofeeders, weather mine-stations, etc.

When you post things on craigs list how do you know if the person is interested?

Kidtrucker

Is it just like on etsy?

Answer
No, craigslist is not like Etsy.

Etsy is an online store-front, much like Ebay or even Amazon.com. You list what you have to sell, set a price, and people contact you online or more frequently, purchase what you are selling online. You get an email, and ship off the goody.

Craigslist is like a newspaper ad. You list what you have to sell, and many different people email you that they are interested in buying it. You personally respond to the emails / texts / phone calls, decide who you want to sell too, then meet with that person to personally deliver the goods. Rarely, you'll mail what you are selling.

Online storefronts are very good for small, easy-to-ship items that have high retail values. Art, collectibles, electronics, etc...

Craigslist is good for real-property, furniture and junk. Anything too big to ship is a good candidate for craigslist. Most furniture, vehicles, homes. Junk entails anything bulk and with low resale value. Most clothing, non-collectible books, kids toys, general tools, etc...

How can a kid make money?

best kids toys etsy image

Cheryl

I am a kid/teenager and I need money! I am not just saying I need money because I want a toy or to get a phone or anything like that. I actually need money because I am growing and my clothes are getting small! My parents blew all of their money on a car and now they have no money to buy me clothes. But even if they did have money I don't like asking my parents for money because I feel mean doing it. Can anyone give me ways kids can get money? And something else BESIDES the usual like babysitting, dog walking, yard sales, lemonade sales and stuff like that. My parents will not let me do any of them so is there any other way? And also if you say something like selling stuff please be specific on what stuff to sell and where to sell it at. Please no lecture answers because I need money but my parents don't have money and my parents are over-protective so they wont let me do certain things. Please help! If you don't like this question don't answer it.

Answer
You said they're over protective and I'm not sure exactly how old you are but my first thought would be try and get a job. If you're that desperate which I was as a teen too, don't count out places like McDonalds and other places people stereotype as bad places to work. You can always get a job and work there while you still look for a new one if you don't like it. :) Also, if you try to get a job apply EVERYWHERE! Even little individually owned stores that no one goes into often, you may be surprised at who needs the most help. If you don't want to try this my net suggestion would be to try to sell something. Do you have a talent or a skill? You could give music lessons if you're musical, sell art if you're artistic (try Etsy.com if you do this), put an add out in the paper to fix people's computers if you're good with that type of thing. These are just suggestions but if you have something you're good at that you enjoy, put that to use and you'll make money and enjoy it at the same time. my next suggestion would be to try and volunteer, a lot of places will start paying you after you've volunteered regularly for a while. I know you need the money, but the economy is so difficult right now and business are hiring a lot more college kids who are over 18 or have a car because usually tthey need it more. A lot of people between 15-17 get overlooked a lot. Another thing is that when you apply, if you can fill out a paper application AND an online application if available. When you are home, call the business the day or the day after you apply and say "Hi, my name is ______. I just filled out an application and was wondering if you were hiring anytime soon?". If they say no or yes, PERSIST! But don't call more than once every 3 days or so, that's annoying. Also, some places may say "Now we're not hiring but the branch in the next town over is, would you be interested in working there?" If you have the transportation always say yes! :) That's all I can think of right now. Good luck! I know exactly what you're going through! Think about how hard it is for Adults to even get a job nowadays.

How would you decorate a unisex kids' bathroom?

Miki

Right now we have a baby girl but we know we want at least one more child that could be a boy or girl. The cabinets are espresso, the counter and floor are white marble, and the shower has white subway tile. The hardware is brushed nickle and we want to keep the walls white or really light.
P.S. no green please

Answer
Pick a neutral theme. Not a current cartoon character as they can be to camp and who know what will be cool in 3 or 4 years. Bathrooms for kids should be fun and kid friendly. Gives them something to look at during the dreaded potty training chronicles.

Reachable items are important.
Add a shelf for kid books.
A cubby for bath toys.
A low mirror and a stool that they can sit or climb on.
If finances allow put in a kid height sink.
Decorative wall vinyls are easily removable if you choose to alter the colors.
Bold colors are a plus.


I suggest a plain white or beige. Then add colors in the bath set, towels and rug. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3020/2563732291_aa24737d62.jpg?v=0 http://cdn.24.com/files/Cms/General/d/420/a4654f46fcfa41d5bba9a59357de6b4f.jpg

Personally I would run with a dolphin theme http://www.plumbingsupply.com/images/dolphin-bathroom-faucet-f50-1918bn.jpg https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9t9zr1zgCA0ZOfRsH4KXEf1zuFwGiGlWZaaxYfvkVmnj3VIZ-tpelu46wS0rnpJhWYUWuSxeYv908TYuS-ie94VwJtBwsVYdCj_kUYKoTJNyPR8mxAkpt7ewEmmkdiyUOGq4syDwx-lZH/s400/8.jpg
Add these in silver http://www.etsy.com/listing/59823866/underwater-sea-life-with-scuba-diver
Then add some bright oranges and yellows in the towels and rugs.

Where can I find a design for a pachinko machine?

nixo

I have a little kid and he gets a kick out of watching me drop toys in his bead coaster and watching it bounce around. This made me think that he'd really like a pachinko machine, but I don't really want a whole machine, I just need a known working pin-layout design and I'll go buy a board and some nails and paint by number as it were. Does such a thing exist?
