Geese are taking over Etsy — and buyers can't get enough. Coziness, irony, and fresh street style all wrapped in one viral animal. Eight directions to jump on before everyone else catches up.
In this edition, you’ll get:
Our Trend Blend formula for creating unique product ideas.
A list of 8trends to jump on.
One scalable design idea you can adapt across multiple niches.
Our innovative Trend Blend Formula: X+Y=Z
In each edition of Trend Blend, we use our formula to uncover unique product ideas in the POD world:
X (Trend/Aesthetic) + Y (Niche/Holiday)= Z (Trending Product)
Our approach is simple—we start by spotting trending products (Z) on Etsy, then break them down into their key components (X and Y). From there, we look at how the designer brought those elements together to make something that really connects with a wide audience.
Once you understand how that creative process works, you can use the same approach to come up with your own hit products—turning straightforward ideas into designs that truly resonate with your market.

Nearly 17,000 views and 154 sales in six months — $425/month from one listing. Medical niche plus meme energy is a proven combination.
Geese causing chaos in an MRI room — instantly recognizable to anyone in the medical field. The washed vintage look makes it feel like a thrift-store find. Profession-specific humor plus a cozy aesthetic is the whole formula.

A goose in tiny rain boots — the official mascot for everyone whose to-read pile is out of control. This one nails the cottagecore meme sweet spot: specific, cute, and book lovers recognize themselves in it immediately.
Birthday Party Animals
