I know it’s probably still 93 degrees outside (like it is here) and you’re currently questioning all your life choices for living anywhere south of Canada… but on Etsy?
🦃 We’re already talking about November.
Why?
Because Etsy shoppers are early birds with credit cards. 💳
So here’s your cheat sheet for what to design right now so you’re ahead of the game in October & November:
1. Halloween (Oct 31)
- Yes, it’s close, but there’s still time for quick-turn digital items — think party printables, spooky seamless patterns, sublimation PNGs, tumbler wraps, etc.
2. Fall & Autumn Aesthetics
- Cozy sweaters, pumpkins, crunchy leaves… these sell for months.
3. Thanksgiving (Nov 27)
- Menus, printable decor, “Thankful” SVG and PNGs, fall food sublimations.
4. Friendsgiving
- Trendy invites, charcuterie printables, game templates. Millennials eat this up (literally).
5. Breast Cancer Awareness Month (Oct)
- Pink ribbon merch, survivor celebration PNGs, fundraiser-friendly designs.
6. Teacher Appreciation / Back-to-School Fall Wave
- Cute fall classroom borders, printable worksheets, coffee mug designs for teachers who are already done with the semester.
7. Día de los Muertos (Nov 1–2)
- Sugar skull sublimations, marigold patterns, vibrant folk art clipart.
8. Fall Weddings & Bridal Showers
- Burgundy & burnt orange invite templates, “Fall in Love” signage.
9. Small Business Saturday (Nov 30)
- Promo templates, printable shop signs, “Support Local” designs.
10. Christmas Prep (Early Bird)
- It’s here whether you like it or not. Neutral holiday patterns, mug wraps, ornaments, planners for 2026.
Here’s the deal — you can waste the next two months in design limbo, or you can ride the wave of early-bird shoppers and have Etsy cha-chinging for you while you’re eating pumpkin pie.🥧
