What's the First Thing you Sold?

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 🙂

a single postcard, which netted me a whopping 74 cents, made almost 2 months after I joined Zazzle in May 2015.

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. 

 
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 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.
