gift business?

i'm starting a home based gift business and i intend to make gift baskets, lotions and body wash, soap, and perhaps candles. what are some other things that would sell good and bring in business? (things that are not too difficult or expensive) and what kind of qualities would influence you to purchase things like these?

My sister and I do craft shows and we do all the items you mentioned plus a few others. The first thing you have to realize,is that it is going to be expensive to start up. You are going to want high quality supplies because the high quality of the items you sell will be what makes you have return customers. Your return customers are very important. Word of mouth is excellent advertising. Research what items you want to make,and then research different supply companies. The next thing to do is to start making your products. Before you even consider selling them you have to test each item for yourself. You need to make sure the candles burn properly and give a good scent throw. You may have to change your wick sizes,your wax kind,and your scents many times. Same with bath and body products. You need to see how they will hold up over time. Does the lotion turn runny or discolor? These things are important to know long before you start selling your stuff. When we first started,we did only candles and had well over $1000 into it before we ever sold a candle. It's harder and more costly than you would think. Don't get discouraged though. After doing this for about a year,we were both able to quit our full time jobs to do our crafts full time. We joke now that we put in many more hours doing our crafts than we did a 40 hour a week job. We enjoy it though. If you have money for the initial investment and are willing to donate the time and effort to it,you can do very well.
