April Fool’s Day is coming super soon (April 1). And while April Fool’s Day isn’t traditionally thought of as a major gift-giving holiday, there are still people who like to go all out and buy April Fools gifts for themselves or loved ones.

I typically don’t suggest creating a bunch of holiday-specific designs to sell because holiday-specific things don’t sell well year-round. It’s okay to have a few designs that say “Happy April Fool’s Day” or related phrases. Or you can create designs about practical jokes or pranks to create more generalized designs, such as “I’m the king of practical jokes!” or “Don’t mess with this prankster.”

If you do a search on Google Images or Etsy for things like “April Fools gifts” or “April Fool’s Day mugs,” you can find some great design inspiration. Here are some examples:

Then, you can run special discounts for any items you create. And to help promote these sales, you’ll find a list of April Fool’s Day coupon codes, hashtags, and social media templates you can use below.

Additionally, I had my designers create a series of April Fool’s Day mockups for color-changing mugs. You can add these to both your product listings and your social media content to make it more appealing to customers.
