I have decided that I need a side hustle ..... I have, over the past few years been lucky enough to get quite a few things for free, regularly, which I have been able to sell. I have made good money from this, but unfortunately the way this has happened has come to an end. So, I am looking for something new. I have a few ideas but I wonder if my Mylot family could help me. What sort of things would you be interested in buying,..... cheap ..... Would it be make up, things for the house, things to be used as gifts for others, pampering items ..... Any thoughts or ideas are welcomed please.

Do you like to crochet or knit? @wolfgirl569 has been crocheting some interesting small items that she sells. Maybe she'll post one for you to see... If you're good at painting, you could make smaller sized paintings that you could sell fairly cheap. You could also hit up garbage (garage) sales and pick up things that you can resell and make some extra money that way.

i did crochet years ago. I do knit and at my previous school I would knit many items to be sold to raise money for the school. My friend did the sewing up as that part I am not so good at. It all takes a while and so although I am planning on knitting to sell when my arm is better it will only bring in a small amount. I can't paint, or draw.

@Traceyjayne I don't know if it's just in my area of the US, but many people aren't interested in large crocheted items. I used to crochet blankets and bedspreads but they didn't sell very quickly. I mostly gave those away to friends and family. I might have already told you I crocheted a bedspread for my daughter as well as matching curtains for her room and a matching pillow... We used them in her bedroom at the time and then packed them away when we moved. I still have the bedspread in a tote in our garage.

@DaddyEvil no, I didn't know that you crocheted.. How lovely for you to have took the time to make all of those for your daughter. I have loads of wool so am keen to start knkittuing again when my arm gets better. I did a sponsored knit last year to raise money for Dementia awareness.

I see DaddyEvil gave you several ideas. See if something you like doing can be turned into a money maker.

I'm not help at all as I'm trying desperately hard not to buy anything at all.

You can sell food and I think that's good for the business. Maybe I can buy what I need like things for the house and pampering myself.
