Christmas is just around the corner, and for small businesses like ours, it’s the busiest time of the year — but also the most fun for creating! There’s something magical about festive crafting, and sublimation blanks make it even better.
So, let’s dive into my favourite sublimation blanks for Christmas gifts and seasonal makes.
Decorations
I love making little decorations. There’s so much creative potential — nostalgic, customised, whimsical… you name it. Designing them is always such a joy.
My go-to choice? MDF blanks. They’re hardy, easy to use, beautifully glossy, and the colours stay clear and vibrant after pressing. Plus, they’re lightweight, which means cheaper postage (and who doesn’t love that this time of year?).

Coasters
These are another super-versatile blank. Coasters make brilliant stocking-stuffer gifts and are perfect for Christmas Eve boxes. Personalised designs are always popular because they add that little spark of whimsy and uniqueness.
They’re also very easy to work with, and you can press multiples at once — a huge win when you’re batch-making Christmas orders.
My most popular coaster is the binary coaster. Check it out here.
Tins
A new addition to my festive lineup this year — and already a hit! My mince pie and sweets tin have been extremely popular. The possibilities with tins are endless, especially when personalisation comes into play.
And the best part? They’re easier to sublimate than you might think. No fancy equipment needed — just your trusty flat press. Simple, quick, and they look fantastic.
Bookmarks
Bookmarks will forever have my heart. They’re so easy to sublimate, look gorgeous, and make ideal stocking fillers for bookworms (honestly, we never have enough). These aluminium ones don’t bend, fall apart, or warp — yet they’re still wonderfully lightweight.
You can sublimate several at once, making the process super efficient. And yes… I often keep a few for myself. Perks of the job
