New Sublimation Products for Summer 2026

Arriving for Summer 2026

There have been lots of exciting things happening behind the scenes at Panda Motion HQ recently.

One of my goals for 2026 has been to expand my product range and offer even more personalised gifts and sublimation products for my customers. Last year, I introduced Tote and make-up bags, and this summer I'm excited to be adding even more homeware and stationery products to the collection.

As a small business owner, one of my favourite things is discovering new products and imagining all the creative possibilities they bring.

So, let's take a closer look at what's arriving for Summer 2026.

Aprons

Aprons have been on my wish list for quite a while.

I've always loved the idea of adding personalised aprons to my product range, but I never quite found the right design direction. Then it suddenly clicked — my Cake Queen collection would be absolutely perfect.

I already have plans for:

• Cake Queen designs
• Biscuit-themed designs
• Seasonal and festive versions for Christmas
• Potential personalised options

I think these would make wonderful gifts for bakers, cake lovers, and anyone who enjoys spending time in the kitchen.

I am especially excited about the gifting potential of these. A personalised apron paired with a matching mug or storage tin could make a fantastic gift set.

Notebook

This is probably the product I'm most excited about.

As both a stationery lover and as a self-confessed notebook collector, the idea of creating my own personalised notebooks feels incredibly dangerous for my desk space.

Notebooks open up so many possibilities:

• personalised gifts
• teacher gifts
• stationery gift bundles
• journaling accessories
• recipe notebooks

Pair them with matching stickers and you've got a lovely gift set for stationery lovers.

I'm looking forward to experimenting with different designs and creating something both practical and beautiful.

A New Mug for the Cake Queen Collection ☕

If you've followed my business for a while, you'll know that mugs are one of my favourite products to design.

Since launching Panda Motion Designs, I've primarily used classic white mugs, with an orange mug joining the range last year.

This summer, I'm introducing a beautiful pink mug to complement my Cake Queen collection.

The soft pink colour works perfectly with the cake-themed artwork and adds an extra touch of fun and personality.

Sometimes it's the smallest product changes that make the biggest difference, and I think this mug is going to look absolutely lovely.

This product should be arriving in my Etsy shop very soon, so keep an eye on my social media for launch updates.

Looking Ahead to Summer

I'm really looking forward to sharing these new sublimation products with you over the coming months.

It may not seem like a huge number of new products, but I'm incredibly excited about the opportunities these additions will bring.

Between designing new collections, testing products, photographing listings, and preparing for launch dates, these new products will certainly keep me busy throughout the summer months.

Of course, I'll also be balancing business life with school holidays and a family holiday, which always makes for an interesting juggling act!

That's one of the things I love most about running a small business — there's always something new to learn, create, or develop.

Which product are you most excited about?
