Trending dropshipping products you’ll make big profits on in April 2025

The recent burst of sunshine has Brits eager for spring, and their shopping habits prove it. From the latest beauty buys, to must-have gardening gear, consumers are clearly eager to embrace the season — creating a golden opportunity for dropshippers to respond.

By scouring the bestseller lists, using Google Search insights, and combing through the latest market research, I’ve identified a list of the top seven products that will ensure you’re not an April Fool when selling this month.

Don’t put all your Easter eggs in one basket, though. For more inspiration, check out our guide to over 100 winning dropshipping products to sell all-year round.

1. Electric gua sha

Inspired by a traditional Chinese medicine practice, gua sha tools have been gaining popularity. Gua sha involves massaging the body to promote blood flow and reduce swelling. It’s become a popular therapy technique at salons across the UK.

Those who are looking for a more convenient DIY option, however, are buying special homemade tools to scrape across their face and kiss their puffy eyes goodbye. These are usually made from jade, bone or horn. But the craze is now so big, it’s gone electric.

According to trend experts, Exploding Topics, internet searches for ‘electric gua sha’ in 2025 have surged by 29% since the start of 2024. These devices combine microcurrents, heat, vibration, and LED light therapy to give this ancient practice a thoroughly 21st century spin.

Another niche in this area is the body gua sha tool for massaging the legs, back, and neck.

2. Water-based make-up

Labels maketh the make-up brand. Sometimes all it takes for a new product to fly off the beauty shelves is one trending ingredient. Right now, ‘water-based’ items are all the rage. Keyword data reveals that UK consumers now search the term around 3,000 times a month.

Plenty of make-up goods use water as their primary ingredient (these are often listed as ‘aqua’ or ‘eau’, so remember to include these terms in product descriptions). However, foundations are emerging as the strong favourite among shoppers.

Watery lip gloss is another piece that’s becoming popular in bathroom cupboards. In the past five years, the search term has grown by 8,200%, making it a one-to-watch for dropshippers.

3. Beef tallow

It’s not often we recommend having beef with your consumers. But beef-based products are trending in a big way this year, with opportunities to boost sales across multiple categories.

Since 2024, search terms for ‘beef tallow’ have grown by 1,329%. Tallow is basically rendered beef fat. It can be used in cooking, but it’s grown less popular in the culinary arts due to it being high in saturated fats. Today, the real craze for beef tallow can be traced back to skincare, with many consumers now using it to make soaps, balms, and creams.

Connected to this trend, more online stores are now stocking ‘beef protein powder’. When selling products marketed towards improving health, always remember to comply with UK food regulations. Ensure accurate labelling, and make sure ingredients are approved.

4. Easter paraphernalia

For dropshippers who want to jump on the Easter train this month, it’s a small window, but a lucrative one. Don’t waste time competing with large, local supermarkets to flog foil-wrapped eggs, however. You’ll do better to carve a niche by specialising in one, egg-cellent area.

Easter decorations are a good way to make a quick, timely buck this spring. Don’t be afraid to think creatively. Yes, you could sell egg baskets. But there’s also tablecloths for the traditional Sunday lunch. Or Easter garlands, to rival the usual Christmas wreath.

You could also ‘Easterfy’ your existing product list this month with just a few strategic orders. Our research finds online searches for ‘easter nails’ are up 743%, for example. If you already sell nail art, why not order in some pastel yellow designs and capitalise on the trend?

5. Bed wedges

We’re not sure what the cause is for this new viral product. Still, the figures don’t lie. TikTok’s list of top products shows that searches for bed wedges have soared by 12% since mid-March. Around 2,000 Brits now look for these specialist pillow supports each month.

Essentially a triangular pillow or cushion that serves to elevate portions of the body, bed wedges support and maintain specific body positions during sleep. They promote circulation and diminish leg swelling when used for elevation, and are often employed post-surgery to ensure proper positioning (perfect for a flight home from Turkey, perhaps?)

Available in various sizes, shapes, and materials, bed wedges are ideal for dropshipping inventories. They invite multiple product listings and varied price points, attracting a broad customer base for dropshippers. Plus, they’re also very easy to ship.

6. Darts

For the past six months, one product has dominated the Amazon bestseller list for sports and outdoor goods: darts. Call it the Luke Littler effect. Brits are going mad for this pub favourite and, if you can find the right dropshipping supplier, you’ll be on for a bullseye.

The first step is to identify your target audience. Are you focusing on casual players or serious competitors? Next, find your products. You could sell classic steel-top or soft-tip darts or flights, and even sharpening stones and finger wax. Or, bundle these into one listing.

Don’t forget; there’s also a huge sub-section of the market here for customised goods. If you can partner with a print-on-demand dropshipping supplier, you can place orders for bespoke shirts and mugs in time for the PDC World Cup of Darts this June.

7. Lawn fertiliser

Four days of weak sunshine at the end of March was enough to get consumers out in their gardens and surveying the flower beds. What they saw apparently shocked them, because the number one trending garden item on Amazon this week is lawn fertiliser.

Between April and August, gardening goods are always a safe bet for dropshippers. Right now, green-fingered consumers are in toil mode, so stock up on potting soil and pruning shears. If you want to sell seeds, April is the month for planting potatoes, onions, and garlic.

Some items are trickier to shift than others. In the UK, the sale of weed killers (also known as herbicides) is subject to strict regulations enforced by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). It’s essential to work with UK-based suppliers who adhere to all relevant regulations.
