Showcase your designs through satisfying unboxing videos, "get ready with me" (GRWM) style clips, or behind-the-scenes content. Collaborating with UK-based tech or lifestyle creators can also boost your reach and get your brand in front of trend-savvy shoppers.​

Create engaging videos like "outfit of the day" (OOTD) lookbooks, viral dance challenges, or run a hoodie giveaway. Partnering with fashion-focused creators is a brilliant way to turn your personalised hoodies into the next must-have item.​

Promote your totes by creating aesthetic, minimalist content showing their versatility. Think "what's in my bag" videos, styling guides, or clips of them at a local market. Make sure your designs stand out by experimenting with bold colours, witty slogans, or unique artwork that reflects your brand's personality.​

4. Custom t-shirts with a local twist

​A classic for a reason. T-shirts are a staple of personalised clothing and a massive category on TikTok. But to succeed, you need a niche. Think designs that tap into British culture – inside jokes, regional slang, or graphics celebrating beloved UK towns and cities.​

"Day in the life" vlogs, styling challenges ("three ways to wear this tee"), or behind-the-scenes videos showing your design process perform incredibly well. Great t-shirt printing makes your designs pop, encouraging user-generated content and turning customers into walking adverts.​​

Product suggestions:​

• Men's Premium Heavyweight Tee | Cotton Heritage MC1086​

5. Stylish custom pillows​

​Custom pillows are an easy way to tap into the booming #HomeDecor and #InteriorDesign communities on TikTok. They’re the perfect canvas for unique designs, funny quotes, or beautiful artwork, transforming a plain sofa into a statement.​

To market your pillows, create videos showing how they can transform a space. Think "room makeover" reveals or a tour of a cosy reading nook. These trending TikTok products are perfect for impulse buys under £20.​​

Product suggestions:​

• Custom Shaped Pillow​

• All-Over Print Premium Pillow​

• All-Over Print Basic Pillow​
  
  

6. Unique stationery​

Journaling, planning, and creating aesthetic desk setups are huge on TikTok, especially with Gen Z. Custom stationery, from personalised notebooks to unique sticker sheets, allows people to express their creativity.​

Showcase your products in satisfying calligraphy clips, "organise with me" videos, or journaling time-lapses. These formats are not only visually appealing but also inspire viewers to start their own creative projects, driving them straight to your shop.​​

Product suggestions:​

• Kiss-Cut Sticker Sheets​

• Hardcover Notebook​

• Spiral Notebook​
  
  

7. Eye-catching drinkware​

From morning coffees to post-gym protein shakes, drinkware is part of everyone’s daily routine, making it one of the best things to sell on TikTok. They aren't just practical – they're accessories. Think sleek stainless steel water bottles for the commute or enamel mugs perfect for a weekend camping trip.​

Create content that puts your custom drinkware in an aspirational setting. Morning routine videos, "what's in my gym bag" clips, or weekend hiking trips all work brilliantly.​

Product suggestions:​

• Stainless Steel Water Bottle​

• Enamel Mug​

• Glossy Magic Mug​
  
  

8. Pet accessories

The UK is a nation of pet lovers, and #PetTok is a massive, highly engaged community. Owners love to spoil their furry friends, making custom pet accessories one of the most fun and engaging categories to sell in. Think stylish bandanas, personalised food bowls, or even a custom pet hoodie.​​

The content almost makes itself. Create playful videos of a dog showing off its new bandana on a walk or a cat eating from its new bowl. Partnering with popular UK pet accounts is a fantastic way to showcase your products and drive sales.​​

Product suggestions:​

• Pet Collar & Leash​

• All-Over Print Bandana​

• Pet Bowl​
  
  

9. Custom puzzles and jigsaws​

​Jigsaws and puzzles have made a huge comeback as a relaxing, screen-free pastime. On TikTok, time-lapse videos of a puzzle coming together are incredibly satisfying to watch and rack up millions of views.​​

This is a brilliant opportunity for artists and designers. Turn your artwork into a fun, interactive product. You can market them as the perfect rainy-day activity, a unique gift, or a mindful way to de-stress after a long week.​

Product suggestions:​

• Jigsaw Puzzle (120, 252, 500, or 1000-piece)​
  
  

10. Hair accessories​

​The #HairTok and #BeautyTok communities are enormous. Simple accessories like scrunchies, headbands, and bandanas can become viral sensations overnight. With Print on Demand, you can cover them in unique, all-over print designs that match current trends, from cottagecore florals to bold geometric patterns.​

Create short, snappy tutorials showing different ways to style your headband or scrunchie. "Get ready with me" videos or transformation clips are perfect for showing off how your accessories complete a look.​​
