Hey everyone it’s Jessica from Oberlo.
Today I’m going to share ten products to sell in the home and garden niche.
According to a 2018 BusinessWire report, the home and garden e-commerce market will grow
by $140 billion in the next four years.
That growth is fueled by an increase in online shoppers.
Dropshipping is one of the easiest ways to capitalize on the home and garden market.
With Shopify and Oberlo, you can build a store and start selling a product like that in just
a few hours.
No inventory necessary.
But there are two keys to success in the dropshipping model: You have to find the right product,
and you have to get really, really good at ecommerce.
I’ll show you how to find the right products today.

Alright, let’s get started with the list of the best dropshipping products to sell
in the home and garden niche.
1.
Scratch-Off Travel Map
When you think of home decor, you probably think of everyday items like lamps or wall
art.
This trending product stands out because it’s an unusual conversation starter.
Once customers buy this attractive world map, they can use a coin to scratch off the countries
they’ve traveled to.
The interactive appeal of this map is why it’s gotten over 1,300 sales in the past
six months.
What I love about household products like this is how clear-cut the target audience
is.
If you sell this map, target people who travel regularly.
You might target people based on the type of traveler they are or their travel-based
interests.
This means you have a lot of Facebook audiences to test, and better chances of finding a winning
product-market fit.
You don’t have to take my word for it.
Six-figure dropshipper Ross Madden says this product is on fire too.

2.
Crystal Water Bottle
This product is trending thanks for increased interested in Feng Shui and New Age wellness.
If you sell this product, you just have to be really careful with your copywriting.
I’ll explain more, but first let’s look at the product.
These glass water bottles come with different crystals attached to the base.
The crystals range in type and price, from a $3.50 black crystal base to more expensive
quartz bases.
Some believe that crystal-infused water offers healing properties.
That’s exactly why a product like this sells.
However, if you market these water bottles, be careful with your phrasing.
Do not say that these water bottles have healing properties.
That’s a direct claim, and you could get sued for false advertising.
Instead, say that some people believe these water bottles have healing properties.
That’s an indirect claim, and it’s unlikely to get you in any trouble.
Let’s move on to the next trending product to sell in the home and garden niche.
3.
Shower Hair Stopper
The best dropshipping problems solve a problem.
And a clogged drain is definitely a problem.
That’s why this product has sold so well.
This star-shaped shower stopper prevents hair from going down the drain.
It costs less than $1, meaning you can price it at $9.99 and make a sizeable profit per
sale.
And boy does this product sell.
Oberlo-exclusive sales data reports over 8,000 sales of this shower hair stopper over the
last six months.
Marketing this product is straightforward.
Use your mobile phone to create a video that demonstrates the problem this product solves.
Remind users how unpleasant it is to take a shower with a clogged drain.
Show how gross it is to remove hair from drains.
And tell users how expensive it can be to hire a plumber.
Then introduce this product as a solution to all of your customer’s problems.
We’re not done talking about hairy situations.
That’s because the next product on our list...
4.
Pet Vacuum
Is the pet vacuum.
Shedding is an annoying problem for many pet owners.
Dog and cat hair often ends up all over their clothes, furniture, and floor.
That is, until this product comes to the rescue.
This lightweight vacuum removes pet hair from carpet, bedding, car seats, and sofas.
It’s available from an Oberlo Verified Supplier.
Oberlo Verified Suppliers are among the most-trusted suppliers on the Oberlo network.
But you don’t have to sacrifice your margins to work with a top-notch supplier.
This vacuum costs less than $10 with shipping, so you can sell it for $19.99 or even $29.99
and make a profit.
Pet grooming is a pretty stable niche.
There are 110,000 monthly searches for “pet grooming,” which indicates plenty of demand.
As you can see, search interest also increases in warmer months, when pets are likely to
shed more.
To tap into this market, try reaching out to pet fan pages on Facebook.
Offer to pay the page owner so you can post about your store on their page.
One Oberlo dropshipper reports that, a few years ago, reposts on fan pages cost between
$30-$200 depending on the size of the page.
That’s drastically lower than the typical sponsored post of an Instagram influencer.
On to the next winning product in the home and garden niche.
5.
Home Organizer
It’s the home organizer.
Products like these are perennial sellers because they solve a problem: They help customers
bring order to otherwise messy homes.
This desktop organizer is described as a makeup organizer.
But as you can see, it’s really a multi-tiered, rotating organizer that can be used for anything.
Customers can use it in the bathroom, bedroom, or kitchen.
The savvy dropshipper will see use Facebook ads to determine which use has the most marketing
potential.
So you might run one Facebook ad describing this as a makeup organizer, and another describing
it as a kitchen organizer.
See which one performs better.
Then pivot your store and sell the type of organizer you already know customers are interested
in.
Let’s move on to the sixth product on our list of high-potential dropshipping prodcts.
6.
Knitted Throw Blanket
The knitted throw blanket.
If you’re watching this from the Northern Hemisphere, you might be wondering whether
anyone will buy this blanket.
After all, this chunky-knit blanket looks cozy and warm.
But the weather in the U.S., Canada, and Europe is about to get warmer.
Who will pay $50 to $150 for a luxurious throw like this?
The answer: Australians!
Well, not just Australians.
Anyone in the Southern Hemisphere, where the weather is about to get cooler.
When you’re dropshipping, you can sell to customers anywhere in the world.
That’s true no matter where you yourself are based.
You might be wearing flip-flips and hankering for an icy beverage right now.
But your customers might be brewing tea and shopping for knit blankets like this.
And check out the shipping options of this blanket.
Shipping to the U.S. is free with ePacket, and takes about 25 days.
But shipping is also free if you sell to customers in Australia, and it takes only 13-20 days.
Shipping to New Zealand is also free, and takes about the same amount of time as shipping
to the United States.
If you’re dropshipping, the whole world is your market.
Keep that in mind when deciding what to sell and when.
Let’s return to the pet niche for product number eight.
7.
Pet Bed
It’s the pet bed.
Pets are often treated like members of the family.
So, it makes sense that customers would want to pamper that pets with high-end home products.
That’s where this pet bed comes in.
It’s available in six colors and four sizes.
Even picky pooch owners can find a bed that suits them.
The most expensive bed is $15.
I recommend selling these beds for at least $24.99, to make sure you’re making enough
money to cover ad costs.
When it comes to advertising, your best bet will be promoting your pet beds on Instagram.
But before you reach out to those famous pet influencers, consider dog breed fan pages.
These pages have hundreds of thousands of followers.
Even so, it might cost less to promote your product on these fan pages than through pet
influencers.
The only way to find out, of course, is to ask.
You can find Instagram outreach templates on Oberlo’s Instagram page.

8.
DIY Wall Art
It’s do-it-yourself wall art.
These are paint-by-number wall hangings that customers take pride in creating themselves.
This kit comes with a paint-by-number canvas, brushes, and paints.
Customers can order any one of several attractive designs.
And they can even order a DIY frame.
But the most eye-catching detail about this product are the sales figures.
This product got over 2,000 orders in the last 30 days, and over 9,000 in the last six
months.
This is a product you’ll want to sell via video ads.
Here’s how to drive traffic to your product page: Have someone film over your shoulder
as you paint in a section of the poster.
Then post the video at 3 or 5 times the actual speed of filming.
Customers will pause to watch the video, and will try to identify what you’re painting.
In your call-to-action, tell customers that they can see the finished painting on your
product page.
You wanted 10 great dropshipping products to sell in 2019, so let’s move on to number
9.
Reversible Umbrella
It’s the reversible umbrella.
This is the perfect product to sell in the spring and fall, when transitioning weather
patterns means unpredictable weather.
This umbrella comes in no less than 26 colors and patterns.
It’s priced a bit high at almost $30 plus shipping, but you can get away with selling
this umbrella for $49.99.
The key is to highlight it’s design.
Look at this Facebook ad.
It shows how customers can crack open their car door, lift this umbrella overhead, and
open it before they step into the rain.
It also highlights other features of the umbrella.
I highly suggest you create a video ad for this product yourself.
Then, target the ad towards cities with a lot of annual rainfall.
This is something you can easily Google.
If you want to go on step further, localize each ad.
So if you target Chicago, mention that this umbrella is exactly what customers need to
stay dry in Chicago’s spring showers.
Are you ready for the last product on our list?
10.
Portable Steel Straw
It’s the portable steel straw.
Restaurants around the world are moving away from plastic straws to lower overall plastic
waste.
If you want to sell home products that reduce waste, this product is for you.
This individual steel straw collapses to fit into a portable carrying case.
It’s made of food-grade stainless steel, which means it’s plastic-free, dishwasher
safe, and reusable.
Customers can use this straw instead of plastic straws any time they order a beverage, whether
at home or on the go.
To promote this product, create an video ad that explains the environmental benefits of
using a reusable straw versus a plastic one.
You can also mention that your store donates a portion of sales to organizations that save
marine life.
Research shows that customers are willing to spend more on a product if it comes from
a brand that practices sustainability.
Of course, if you say you’ll donate a percentage of sales, make sure to follow through on your
promise.
