UPDATE: Voting ends tomorrow!!!

In an effort to better understand which of their items are workin' it, sellers shared links to their top selling items of 2008 in the comments of this post. Now we want YOU to pick your favorites from this pool. The hottest items will be featured in the Gift Guides and here on the Etsy blog!

VOTE HERE

Nothin' like a lil informal/virtual focus group for your products.  Sellers should check out the Shop Makeover Series and get involved. May your shops bloom and grow!

The Voter tool only takes 60 items, so we chose the early bird participants first and included some of the overflow in the related items below.

Good luck to everyone!
