It’s the holiday season, and many small businesses do something special for their clients, customers, marketing, or websites to mark the season. So today I’m sharing some holiday resources to help you with images, fonts, messages, and icons for your small business cards, promotions, and websites, and a falling snow plugin for your website.

Merry Icons

These twelve Merry Icons are available free from Hand-Drawn Goods to get you started. These icons come as AI, EPS, PSD and PNG and in 4 sizes: 32×32, 48×48, 64×64, 128×128. They are released under the Creative Commons Attribution license for personal and commercial use. These icons are part of a larger set of 100 icons. (They also have falling snow flakes which you can mimic with a WordPress plugin below.)

Large stock image sites (iStock.com, BigStock.com, and Shutterstock.com) give away one or more images each week. You can get each image to use once for your blog or promotions with just a login account. For the last few weeks, the Shutterstock blog has had a holiday image or vector. Currently the image is holiday hand-drawn Christmas seamless pattern background by Le Chernina. There are more links to find holiday images listed on Resource List for Your WordPress Website.
