Issue #3 · week of 2 Nov 2026
Your Christmas listings should be live by now. November has two jobs: promote what you've already listed, and make the New Year stock buyers start searching for in December. Vision boards, Hogmanay and habit trackers all peak in December or January, so November is when you make them.
Ranked by momentum, with one idea you could make today. Search figures are average monthly UK Google searches.
| Rank | Niche | Trend | Competition | Make-it idea |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Best opening | 2027 calendars and wall planners "2027 calendar" averages 6,600 UK searches a month and climbed steadily to its 12-month high in August, the latest month of data. The printable searches are smaller but easy to rank for: "2027 diary" (590), "2027 calendar printable" (390), "2027 wall planner" (170) and "2027 planner" (170). | Rising fast | High for advertisers Easy to rank on Google | A 2027 A4 wall planner with UK bank holidays, plus 12 matching monthly calendar pages in A4 and US Letter |
| 2 | Vision board kits "Vision board" averages 9,900 UK searches a month and "vision board template" 1,000. Both start rising in December and peak in January. Put "template" in your title: "vision board printable" gets just 20 searches a month. | Seasonal peaks in January | High | A 2027 vision board template kit with printable word cards, quote cards and a goal-setting page |
| 3 | Hogmanay and New Year's Eve games "Hogmanay" averages 14,800 UK searches a month, peaking in December. "New year party games" (480) also peaks in December and is one of the easier terms in this issue to rank for. | Rising | Low | A Hogmanay games pack with New Year's Eve bingo, a year-in-review quiz and resolution cards |
| 4 | Burns Night printables "Burns night" averages 40,500 UK searches a month, peaking in January ahead of 25 January. "Burns night quiz" (170) is very easy to rank for. Make it in November and list it by early January. | Seasonal peaks in January | Low | A Burns supper set with a menu card, place cards, the Selkirk Grace and a quiz |
| 5 | New Year money and habit resets "Sinking funds" (720) peaks in January and has almost no advertiser competition. "Savings challenge" (720) climbs in January and February, and "habit tracker" (2,900) peaks in January, though it's harder to rank for. | Rising in January | Low for sinking funds | A 2027 money reset pack with a sinking funds tracker, a 52-week savings challenge and a monthly habit tracker |

Too late, a one-off spike, or the wrong words.
Most Christmas searches peak in December, and a new listing needs time to pick up views. Promote what's live instead. The one quick exception: Elf on the Shelf letters. "Elf on the shelf arrival letter" (320) peaks in November and "goodbye letter" (320) in December.
It shows 4,400 UK searches a month on average, but almost all of them came in a single month (June). That's a one-off spike, not steady demand. Lead with "sinking funds" or "savings challenge" instead.
Only 20 UK searches a month. Buyers type "vision board template" (1,000). It's the same product, so use the words buyers use.
Promote this month. Christmas searches peak in December, so pin and post your Christmas listings now, while there's time for them to be found. Our Pinterest pin writer can draft the pin titles and descriptions for you.
