Zazzle Christmas products, or products for other occasions, can serve the obvious purpose, but other purposes are also possible. Whenever you realize there is another use, point it out. In a previous article I mentioned selling cutting boards also serving as serving trays. And even Zazzle now advertises some heat resistant coasters as useful for trivets.
Sometimes, an occasion might bring forth a different use.
When designing a product think about how other uses will impact the visibility of the image, and design with that in mind. We will get to that shortly.
Do not limit your sales possibilities. Even if a use is obvious, point it out in the tags and description.

I have not been to a food store very much lately, my wife goes. Actually, she bagged candy for Halloween, since leaving a bowl out allows children to touch even wrapped candy, thus spreading the virus.
blackspanielgallery, Thank you for the practicalities and products.
Currently, I have a rectangular cutting board with a hole for convenient hanging from the side of the cupboard where I keep appetizer and cheese-cutting supplies. In particular, I like your circular boards that also moonlight as trays. That rectangular board now will be replaced by, or share space with, a circular board: many thanks for the write-up.
In a somewhat different, somewhat related direction inspired by your mentioning food not touched by a preparer serving for others' consumption, are you seeing employees with gloves in grocery stores and restaurants? Also, have your stores added those see-through doors -- which they always have had here for dairy -- to eggs, meat and produce?
