Ideas for selling door to door at Christmas!?

I'm off for 3 weeks during this period. Merry Christmas

Thinking about buying a couple of Christmas trees (3ft and 5ft) and going door to door and selling them at a markup. I'd take down details and deliver them the next day so I don't have to carry all of them at once.

What else could be sold door-to-door during this period? The ideal would be something quick and easy to deliver with enough of a markup. Christmas Wreaths!?

Any more ideas?

Edited: I don't have a huge budget for stocking inventory.

    I think you would have a better luck selling Christmas wreaths ( the ones you hang on the front door) its an item people forget to get more so than a tree and a better spur of the moment purchase

    Well good luck, also consider hitting the local business's during the day, they often use decorations and someone will be in for sure, then hit the homes early evening.

    I don't think that the Christmas tree is a good idea. The wreaths sound like a good idea. You could also try poinsettias or cookies. Good luck to you and let me know what you decide to fo and how it works for you.

    Next November, offer a home or business decoration service.
    Perhaps it's not too late for this year.
