Micro-Succulents and Cacti

Plants have been trending as office decor for a while now, but never have they been this small. Currently topping the Etsy charts are micro succulents—teeny tiny cacti in microscopic planters, e.g. from Tierra Sol Studio. Unlike other plants, micro cacti don’t require a green thumb as they only need to be watered once every two weeks. So grab your magnifying glass and a miniature watering can, because this trend is here to stay.

Tip: Start using micro-succulents in your product photo shoots.

Whimsical Hair Pieces

Have you looked at the kinds of wedding photos that are trending lately? More and more women are ditching the veil and going for unique hair accessories like this floral set from Mignonne Handmade in France. The trend is getting so popular that Etsy has directly promoted Mignonne Handmade’s shop. 

Tip: This could be a great niche for jewelry makers to join in on.
