The stationery and small gifts market in Bangladesh
- Hat Bakso's souvenir fridge magnets cost ৳450–500, delivery not included (The Business Standard, March 2024)
- Hat Bakso sold a souvenir gift box of a jamdani-covered pocket notebook, a keychain, a fridge magnet, a pen and a coat pin for ৳1,450, or ৳1,100 each in bulk, pitched as a corporate gift (The Business Standard, June 2024)
- A notebook fair, Khata Kolom Utshob, ran at Bengal Boi in Dhanmondi from 26 January to 4 February 2023, with stalls from paper and craft brands such as Sevendays Notes, which "specialise[s] in producing handcrafted notebooks" (The Daily Star, February 2023)
- Sevendays Notes' notebook with a handmade jute board cover and 100 pages was ৳169, down from ৳200, and Jothashilpa's Nakshi Notebook with a hand-embroidered cloth cover and 112 pages was ৳529, down from ৳580 (Rokomari, secondary, October 2026)
- Hat Bakso's rickshaw fridge magnet, with Bangladesh as its country of origin, was ৳369 on Rokomari, while a "Bangladeshi" rickshaw magnet on Othoba, described in its own listing as "Hand made in China", was ৳378 (Rokomari and Othoba, secondary, October 2026)
- The Printing Industries Association of Bangladesh put the calendar, diary and notebook market at about ৳1,500 crore, and businessmen said more than 70% of calendars, diaries, notepads and cards sell from November to January. That is the printers' trade, not handmade work (The Business Standard, January 2023)
- Handmade stationery barely appears in Google's suggestions and no fridge-magnet buyer phrase appeared at all, but gift searches do: "unique gift items in bangladesh" and "corporate gift items in bangladesh" rank high. That is suggestion rank, not search volume (Google Autocomplete collected by JADUZ, secondary, October 2026)

How selling stationery and small gifts works on JADUZ
Every maker follows the same path from order to money:
- An order comes in
- You accept and pack it
- Pathao picks it up
- The buyer pays cash
- Your earning reaches your wallet
- Withdraw to bKash, Nagad or bank
Listing, photos and packing
- For notebooks, give the page size (A5 or A6, in inches and centimetres), pages and sheets, such as "96 pages (48 sheets)", the ruling, the binding, whether it lies flat, the weight, and the gsm only if you know it.
- List only the pens you tested and what happened, such as "fountain pen ink shows slightly on the back". Leave out "suits all pens", and "acid-free" or "archival" unless the paper maker says so.
- For magnets, give the size, thickness and weight in grams, the magnet type (ferrite or neodymium) if you know it, and a tested hold line such as "holds itself and two sheets of paper", never "super strong".
- Write "Not a toy. Keep away from young children." on every magnet, and "keep away from cards" for neodymium. Don't write "child-safe" or "non-toxic" without the paint maker's statement.
- Photograph in daylight on a plain background. Add an open spread, the spine and a pen test for a notebook, and one photo beside a hand for a magnet, because close-ups make small pieces look bigger. Say whether a set is the exact one shown.
- Offer sets and gift bundles as well as single pieces, such as a notebook with a matching bookmark or a set of magnets on one theme, so one order carries more of your work.
- Bubble-wrap clay and resin magnets, box them with padding on every side and mark the box fragile. Keep notebooks flat, dry and out of the sun, which fades covers, and photograph each sealed parcel before handover.
- JADUZ accepts pieces you make yourself. A notebook with bought-in paper counts when you made the cover and binding and say so; laser-cut magnets say "laser cut" and MDF is called MDF. Imported souvenir magnets and copied characters or logos are refused.

Good to know
Can I sell handmade notebooks and journals on JADUZ?
Yes. Hand-bound notebooks, journals and diaries you make yourself can be listed on JADUZ, with covers in jute, kantha cloth, embroidery, block-printed card, leather or handmade paper. Give the page size, pages and sheets, the ruling and the binding, and list only the pens you tested. Joining and listing are free.
I buy plain paper and make the cover and binding myself. Is that handmade?
Yes, if you say which parts are yours, such as "hand-bound notebook with machine-made paper" or "handmade jute cover, recycled paper inside". If you also made the paper, say that too; it's worth mentioning.
Where can I sell fridge magnets I make in Bangladesh?
Makers sell fridge magnets through their own Facebook or Instagram page, marketplaces such as Daraz, souvenir and gift shops, and JADUZ, a curated marketplace for handmade work. On JADUZ, joining and listing are free, Pathao collects each sold parcel from your door, and the buyer pays cash on delivery. Imported souvenir magnets aren't accepted.
Is it worth selling pieces under ৳500 online?
It can be, when one order carries more of your work. List sets, gift bundles and add-ons too, such as a notebook with a matching bookmark or a set of magnets on one theme. On JADUZ the buyer pays any delivery fee at checkout, and Pathao collects from your door, so a small sale doesn't mean a trip to the courier office.
When do diaries and notebooks sell most?
From November to January: in the printed trade, businessmen said more than 70% of calendars, diaries, notepads and cards sell then (The Business Standard, January 2023). There's no separate figure for handmade notebooks, so treat it as the season to have stock and gift sets listed, not as a promise of sales.
Can I sell rickshaw-art magnets, or bookmarks with cartoon characters?
Rickshaw art in your own design, yes: hand-painted rickshaws, boats and folk motifs suit magnets and bookmarks. Copied cartoon characters, film stills or brand logos aren't accepted, because JADUZ refuses copied designs. Say whether each piece is hand-painted, laser cut or cast, and call MDF MDF.
