DAE sell custom gift baskets after a book club request?

My aunt runs a book club and always had trouble finding good gifts for members. I put together a few baskets with things like bookmarks, tea, and snacks that matched the book they were reading. Everyone liked them so much that I now get orders from other clubs in the area. Has anyone else found a side gig from helping out family or friends?

Tried to make extra cash tutoring in the park, but the HOA said no way.

Update: My keychain shop sat empty for half a year before getting noticed.

When I first started selling handmade keychains online, I went months without any orders. I almost gave up, but then a small blog featured my work and sales slowly started coming in. Has anyone else faced a long wait before their side hustle gained traction, and how did you keep going?
