Halloween - October 31st

Save this one for Halloween, but don’t wait too long. You should be ordering Halloween merchandise no later than August. PS Brands does not have a website, but you can contact them through the PS Brands Facebook page. They sell all sorts of general merchandise, but the had a ton of Halloween supplies on deck at the ASD show. They also sell licensed light-up kid’s sunglasses including Buzz Lightyear, Disney, Cars2, Spiderman and more. Contact them and ask them to send you sales sheets on their Halloween merchandise.

The Halloween Resource Center sells the most complete line of Halloween costumes and decorations you can imagine. Halloween is their only business.  No website. Email Steve Sellers at Hallrsctr@yahoo.com and he will send you a CD with the products and the pricing. Reference the ASD show in your email.

Forum Novelties is a huge seller of Halloween merchandise and they still have stock on hand.

B-day Parties is mostly about costumes and supplies for birthday parties, but this time of year they also feature several Halloween products and they sell costumes year around.

Fun Express carries a few Halloween supplies. They don’t have a great selection but I did see a few things there that I did not find elsewhere.

Dreamgirl – OK this one is really different. Dreamgirl sells a line of hot costumes for women. This is totally adult stuff –no kids clothing here. But adults love costume parties and these items could do very well. Use the contact form to get wholesale information.

Franco Costume also sells adult Halloween costumes. Once again you have to use the contact form to get wholesale information.

Christmas - December 25th

The Pocket Smart String is a measuring calculator will amaze you with its innovative easy to use and accurate digital measuring tape string. I first told my readers about this product a couple of years ago. I bought a few and tried to sell them. They sold but slowly. However this product has finally caught on and now might be a good time to try them. When you get to the website, just email them for wholesale information.

Candles are hot all throughout the holiday season.

Midwest Wholesale carries a large line of Christmas decorative items.

Amglow Inc is another distributor of Halloween and Christmas seasonal products.

Greeting cards sell well all year around. It's a little late to order and sell Christmas cards, but Stockwell Greetings sells greeting cards for as little as 19-cents each. I wouldn't try selling one card at a time, but you can sell them in sets or groups. I know when my wife goes to Hallmark she always buys a half-dozen birthday cards at a time so we always have one on hand when a birthday comes up. Many people do buy cards in groups for holidays such as Easter, Valentines Day and St. Patricks Day.

The Gerson Company sells a beautiful line of children's and decorative electric candles, LED lights and seasonal décor items for Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter.

Barry Country Crafts wholesales Hand Painted country home décor, Country Wood signs, personalized Christmas ornaments and seasonal pins; Custom signs available.
