There’s a “last thing you sold” thread, but since I’m a Zazzle newbie and there many newcomers like me I thought it would be nice to have a “What’s the First Thing you sold?” thread. That first sale is always an exciting moment!
Of course for those who have years of Zazzle experience, feel free to post your first thing you sold, if you can still remember it 
Pink Bokeh Happy First Mother’s Day Custom Photo Card
So What’s the First Thing you sold?
Your turn 
a single postcard, which netted me a whopping 74 cents, made almost 2 months after I joined Zazzle in May 2015.
Cute Little Northern Saw Whet Owl Postcard

This watch, I never sold it again. I know why, it’s poorly explained in the template fields, too complicated explanation, among other mistakes.
I just haven’t put it down yet due to sentimental reasons 👽
Nice, it’s a cool design! I would miss the numbers but that’s because I was always used to digital clocks 
Maybe you could buy it in the future, the product that started your Zazzle business.
Ha! My first sale was this funny mug, but the story is even funnier.
Funny Mug: The Answer is NO
by ZingerBug
I originally came to Zazzle to see if I could integrate it with my website, where I already had thousands and thousands of designs created for web use - like so people could put the design on a physical product or something. But, since all of my images were optimized for web sharing, they weren’t high enough resolution for print applications, so it really wouldn’t work. But in the process of messing around to see what Zazzle was all about, I created this mug, posted it for sale, and promptly forgot all about both it and Zazzle. A year or two later I got an email telling me that my product (which I had completely forgotten about by then) had sold! Anyhow, at that point I decided maybe I should investigate Zazzle a bit further, and now I’m here pretty much full time.

This was my first sale (to me, for my sister) HOWEVER, 2 days later a real live customer ordered 200 of the same item!!! Talk about motivation …

This is my first ever sale. I sold this soup mug in December 2014.
First Sale was Christmas Binder in 2009. I have updated it 2 times and it is still popular.
Very cool! Nice to see that something you made years ago is still selling.
I sold this tee to someone in Malta on 1/28/2008 . This was in fact my second sale .But the first one a sheet of postage stamps were deleted .
My first sale was this wireless mouse back in 2016, a month after I started my Zazzle journey.

Cool bokeh effect, “Product designed by AN Electronics is no longer available”, didn’t know they had wireless mouses! But no longer available it seems.
My first was this Celtic Wall Clock

This thread is such a good idea!
I didn’t remember what mine was but it turns out it’s this postcard:
Sunrise over beach in Greece Scenic seascape Postcard
by EDrawings38
It was sold just 3 days after I’ve created it and about a month after I started here in 2014. Never sold it again though 
It’s also one of the very few photography images I have in my shop so it doesn’t really represent my work 
My first sale in March 2020 within one month of starting with Zazzle was this door mat. 
Pardon the Weeds I’m Saving the Bees
by JLW_Photography
In early 2015 I opened a now-defunct store with a handful of products for a specific group who wanted business cards they could personalize but that would all look the same. Then I created Col’s Creations, mostly just to save the name so I could maybe try out creating a “real” store for myself sometime. In March 2015 I added one product to it - this Justice dog collar, which I designed with my sister & her dog in mind.
And Justice For All Dog Collar
Then I walked away for almost a year. And then, in Jan 2016, that dog collar sold, 10 months after I published it. I count that as my first real sale as it was the first to a random stranger on the internet who somehow happened onto my product. My only product. So for ten months I had a store with only ONE product in it, a store I wasn’t paying any attention to, and then that one product somehow sold itself.
It’s only sold twice since then but since there is nothing to personalize on it (it’s just a single graphic I made to fit in Photoshop) I’m OK with that and it will live forever as-is in my shop as my first ever random sale.
My very first sale was this Owl illustration luggage tag back in 2014, the Owl illustration was also my very first design here! I was so excited! It sold to a customer in LA. This luggage tag has gone on to sell many more times too
I just made my first sale:
