This means customers will turn to online marketplaces for the top holiday products and other gifts. Before you start planning your inventory and marketing strategies, you\u2019ll need an idea of what the top predicted holiday products will be. We\u2019ve assembled some of the top trending and predicted products for 2023, and, for easy reading, we\u2019ve broken these products down by vertical below.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toys\">Toys<\/h2>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>The 2023 Barbie Dreamhouse:<\/strong> With the popularity of the <em>Barbie<\/em> movie, it\u2019s no surprise that the 2023 Barbie Dreamhouse is set to be one of the most sought-after toys this season.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Elmo Slide Plush: <\/strong>Elmo is singing and dancing his way into this holiday season with a brand-new toy for kids. This plush comes with the ability to play a version of Simon Says and is bilingual, singing and speaking in both Spanish and English.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Zero Gravity Sprint RC Car: <\/strong>Remote-controlled cars also seem to be making a comeback this holiday season with items like the Zero Gravity Sprint RC Car (and the Barbie Corvette). This car can drive up walls and ceilings, so it stands out amongst its competitors.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Fashionista Barbie: <\/strong>This holiday season is truly shaping up to be the Season of the Barbies. Fashionista Barbies place the doll in a variety of outfits and are more inclusive than the traditional Barbie.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Learn how to ship these toys in our <a href=\"#fragile\">fragile items section.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"games\">Games <\/h2>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Clue Conspiracy: <\/strong>Aimed at teenagers and adults, Clue Conspiracy requires players to not only solve a mystery but unravel a conspiracy. Unlike past versions of the game, Clue Conspiracy also divides players, giving some the role of saboteurs.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"beauty\">Beauty <\/h2>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Bath bombs and shower steamers: <\/strong>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s?k=trending+xmas+gifts&amp;hvadid=631611153095&amp;hvdev=c&amp;hvlocphy=9028279&amp;hvnetw=g&amp;hvqmt=e&amp;hvrand=11418961106400805475&amp;hvtargid=kwd-435315887967&amp;hydadcr=7690_13589669&amp;tag=googhydr-20&amp;ref=pd_sl_6iz24u424u_e\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Amazon\u2019s trending Christmas gifts<\/a>, bath bombs and shower steamers both seem to be popular purchases. For those unfamiliar with these products, they dissolve in water and are usually fragranced (some even have trinkets or glitter inside). If your business is in the business of self-care products like these, now\u2019s the time to bring these products to the forefront of your website because <a href=\"https:\/\/shippingeasy.com\/blog\/planning-for-holiday-shipping\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">41% of customers have already started their holiday shopping.<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For tips on shipping beauty products, hop down to our <a href=\"#toiletries\">toiletries section.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"fashion\">Fashion <\/h2>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>UGG<\/strong><strong><sup>\u00ae<\/sup><\/strong><strong> Slippers:<\/strong> It\u2019s said that popular fashions cycle every 20 years, and the re-emergence of UGG<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Slippers seems to uphold this theory.

Air fryers are more convenient to use than actual fryers, saving customers counter space and the hassles of hot oil.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Bluetooth speakers: <\/strong>In our research, we found that Bluetooth speakers of all varieties, including beanies, seem to be a common theme across gift guides. Holiday gatherings and celebrations need background music, and customers will be traveling, so the demand for Bluetooth speakers makes sense.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Neck pillows and massagers: <\/strong>We spend an ample amount of time working on computers, sitting in meetings, and on other activities that aren\u2019t the best for our neck and back.

Don\u2019t be afraid to <a href=\"https:\/\/shippingeasy.com\/blog\/creative-holiday-marketing-campaigns\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">be unique<\/a>, but don\u2019t forget your brand messaging in the process. Think of it like this \u2014 if your brand specializes in pet supplies, it wouldn\u2019t make sense to talk about DVD players. So why would you participate in a trend that doesn\u2019t relate back to your business and products?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ShippingEasy merchant, <a href=\"https:\/\/shippingeasy.com\/case-studies\/new-wave-toys-ships-collectibles-and-saves-up-to-77-with-shippingeasy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">New Wave Toys<\/a>, does an excellent job staying on brand while still creating unique content. In the recent release of their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Cx_VTyvyWhG\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Replica Coke Vending Machine Mini Fridge<\/a>, they played upon the Coke ads of the 80s. Their Instagram post clearly showcases the product and implores the nostalgia of Coke ads. It\u2019s totally on brand with the products they sell.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be bold with your marketing, but don\u2019t lose your audience with trend chasing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Cx_VTyvyWhG\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;
