August is here! It’s your last chance to make the most of summer sales, but also the perfect time to start spotting early fall trends. In other words, it is a sweet transition period where you can promote winning products from both seasons.
Plus, we’ll go over how platforms like AutoDS help thousands of dropshippers automate product research, imports, and listing creation, making it easier to focus on strategy instead of manual work.
Ready to stock your store with the best dropshipping products and grow your business? Let’s check out the best-sellers for August 2025 and make the most of this in-between moment.
Top 10 Products To Dropship In August 2025
August is a unique month for dropshipping. As summer winds down in the Northern Hemisphere, shoppers are split between squeezing in last-minute vacations and preparing for the back-to-school season. Whether it’s beach gear or notebooks, we’ve got 10 product ideas that match the August mood and can help boost your store’s performance.
1. Temporary Hair Chalk
Seasonal changes often come hand in hand with changes in looks. Not to mention that August is packed with outdoor events, back-to-school excitement, and end-of-summer parties, all boosting demand for temporary hair chalk.
It’s fun and safe and lets kids (and adults!) experiment with vibrant looks without committing to permanent dye. It’s also a great upsell for beauty, toy, or back-to-school-themed stores, especially among parents looking for creative activities or party favors before fall.
Seller’s Website
Overall, this seller’s work is excellent. The listing provides the key information up front, followed by a fairly detailed description, including photos and GIFs. The site looks colorful and well-organized, offers FAQs to guide the buyer, and has a modern feel. Approved!
TikTok Ad
Alright, here we need to be a bit more critical; as we can see, this video didn’t get much engagement. Of course, you can have a great product and a well-made video and still not get many likes.
But this particular product allows you to create more colorful content, with fewer static product shots and a more personal touch. Something like, “Hey, do you like how my hair looks? I did it with…” — but that’s just one idea. I’m sure you can come up with something even better!
2. Bonfire Magic Color Changing Powder
There’s something deeply captivating about sitting around a fire, and this product takes that magic to the next level. Bonfire color-changing powder adds vibrant blues, greens, and purples to the flames, creating a mesmerizing visual experience for campers, partygoers, or anyone enjoying an outdoor evening.
Perfectly timed for August, when outdoor gatherings, beach nights, and backyard parties are still in full swing. It’s a fun, affordable, and super giftable item that appeals to families, festival-goers, and campers alike.
Let’s see why it sells:
- Eye-catching and TikTok-friendly (people love filming this effect).
- Lightweight and easy to bundle with camping or summer-themed products.
- Great for impulse buys and upsells.
Seller’s Ad
It’s interesting how much a product listing can change depending on the tone of your brand and promotional strategy. This seller takes a clean, minimalistic approach: the information is laid out simply without overwhelming the buyer, and the main image is a beautifully aesthetic shot of the fire—not of the product package.
This approach works well for items like this, where the value lies in what the product does rather than what it looks like. Take note, it’s a clever move.
TikTok Ad
This TikTok video didn’t go fully viral, but it did get a solid amount of likes, comments, and shares. The creator took a “science explainer” route to show why the flames change color — and it resonated. Just imagine all the creative content ideas you could try with this product! Personally, I’d connect it to something in the Harry Potter universe… but hey, let your creativity run wild!
3. Wallet Phone Case
Tech accessories like this aren’t just seasonal hits; they’re year-round bestsellers. With every new iPhone release, shoppers go hunting for fresh cases that are both functional and stylish. This wallet-style phone case combines sleek protection with hidden card storage, making it perfect for those who want to ditch their bulky wallets without compromising style or convenience.
According to market data, the global phone case industry is expected to reach $35.5 billion by 2027, with wallet cases being a top-performing subcategory. This makes it a smart and evergreen product to add to your store, whether you’re targeting back-to-school shoppers, gifting seasons, or everyday buyers looking for a more innovative way to carry their essentials.
Seller’s Ad
I don’t want to be too harsh—some products speak for themselves, and this is one of them. That might be why the seller kept it simple with a short description and lots of photos showing the case in different colors. Still, it wouldn’t hurt to include a few lifestyle images showing the product in use or maybe a user review to complement the basics and build trust.
TikTok Ad
This video didn’t rack up tons of views, but it still offers some solid inspiration when thinking about your content strategy:
- Great video quality.
- Aesthetic setup: clean background, neat hands, nice table, pleasant visuals.
- Simple, helpful use of text and icons to explain what’s needed.
- A clear call to action at the end.
A great example of a job well done! Take notes, dear dropshipper — this is the way to go.
4. 3 in 1 GaN Charger
In the fast-paced world of tech, chargers aren’t just accessories but essentials. And this retractable 3-in-1 GaN charger is the kind of high-performance, space-saving solution today’s multitaskers are looking for.
Its compact, travel-friendly design makes it ideal for digital nomads, students, and office workers who juggle multiple devices. GaN (Gallium Nitride) technology delivers up to 80W of power with more efficiency and less heat, meaning faster, safer charging for laptops, tablets, and phones.
Seller Website
This product page is pretty solid. It gives customers all the key information they need and even includes extra details for those who want to dive deeper into the charger’s features. Like many of the sellers we’ve seen, this one doesn’t include user reviews, which are usually quite significant. But to be fair, it’s still a well-done listing.
Facebook Ad
At first glance, this video doesn’t seem to use too many resources. Yet, it racked up over 17k likes. The algorithm works in mysterious ways. One thing’s clear: it’s a short, straight-to-the-point video that starts with a hook — “It’s 2025 and you’re still using old chargers?” — which works.
But beyond that, a significant factor is that we’re dealing with a winning product: relatively cheap, compact, solves a specific need, and belongs to an evergreen niche: tech gadgets.

5. LED Question Mark Brick
The nostalgic gadget audience: those who love items inspired by cult movies, games, or series, is always willing to invest. That’s one of the reasons why this LED Question Mark Brick is a hit. It’s more than just a lamp; it’s pure nostalgia turned into decor.
Inspired by the iconic blocks from retro video games (you know the one), it’s a playful item that adds character to bedrooms, gaming setups, or even quirky living rooms.
Perfect for gamers, collectors, or parents looking for a cool gift for their kids, this brick lights up with a simple touch and gives off a warm, ambient glow. It’s not just cute — it’s functional, serving as a nightlight.
Seller’s Ad
And finally, what we were waiting for: real customer reviews! I know I mention this a lot, but few things build more trust and security before buying than a positive review from another shopper. This seller includes them and also does a great job presenting the product with a minimalist, clean layout, plus large, high-quality images.
TikTok Ad
I always recommend ordering samples before committing to a supplier. That way, you can check quality and shipping times. But there’s another bonus: having the product in hand helps you be more creative with your content.
That’s exactly what happened here. This TikTok shows a family using the lamp as an “occupied” indicator for the bathroom, and honestly, that quirky twist is likely what helped the video go viral (over 50K likes!). Come on, you want one too now, don’t you? Cue Mario mushroom sound effect.
6. A5 Reusable Whiteboard Notebook Set
Who says productivity tools have to be boring? This reusable A5 whiteboard notebook combines function and sustainability in one sleek package. It’s perfect for students returning to school, remote workers, or busy parents who want to keep notes, to-do lists, or reminders without wasting paper.
The eco-conscious angle makes it especially attractive in 2025, with more buyers leaning into reusable, low-waste solutions. Plus, the leather cover adds a stylish touch, making it a great gift.
Why sell this in August? Here are a few reasons:
- Back-to-school season: High demand for planning and note tools.
- Eco-friendly trend: Attractive for green-conscious shoppers.
- Multifunctional use: School, home, office, you name it.
💡 Pro Tip: Create a bundle with extra markers or stickers and pitch it as the ultimate back-to-school organization kit!
Sellers Ad
We can spend hours figuring out how to present our products; which photos to choose, how to organize them, what tone to use in the description. But sometimes, we forget one simple truth: less is more.
This seller takes a minimalistic approach to showcasing the whiteboard notebook, which matches the product’s clean and practical nature. The overall presentation feels calm, focused, and in line with what buyers of this tool are probably looking for.
📢 Marketing Tip: And if you don’t want to waste hours writing descriptions or product titles, AutoDS generates optimized content in seconds using AI-powered tools, saving time and boosting clarity.
TikTok Ad
It’s been proven (at least so far) that social media content performs much better when it creates an emotional, generational, or even nostalgic connection — rather than just looking like cold stock footage.
This creator plays on that perfectly, using humor to highlight a comment asking: “Where was this when we were in school?” Honestly? I’m wondering the same thing!
7. 5 in 1 Lipstick
The beauty products niche is another e-commerce segment that maintains steady demand all year round. If we look at the numbers, the global beauty and personal care market is projected to reach $729 billion by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 6.2% from 2022 to 2026. Online beauty sales are a major driver, and dropshipping makes it easier than ever to tap into this demand with low upfront investment.
That’s why products like this 5 in 1 Lipstick aren’t just trending—they’re a long-term opportunity. Compact, giftable, and versatile, it’s a great addition to your dropshipping store this August.
Seller’s Ad
This listing is decent, but you and I know it could be much better, especially visually. Since it relies only on plain product shots (and some are lower quality), it ends up feeling a bit “plastic.” Adding an organic photo of the product in use (someone actually applying it) would bring the listing to life.
🆕 Beginner’s Tip: Did you know AutoDS can help you build aesthetic and fully functional Shopify stores through its AI Store Generator? Now you know.
TikTok Ad
This video has no noticeable flaws, yet it hasn’t gained much engagement so far. Sometimes, it’s all about testing different strategies to see which one performs best on social media. It’s also important to remember that each platform has its own specific audience with unique communication styles and buying behaviors.
8. Pet Hair Remover Roller Stick
Earlier, we mentioned evergreen niches—those that stay in demand all year long—and pet products are the perfect example. If you have a pet, I’m pretty sure you’d do anything for your furry companion and want only the best for them. That’s a growing reality for millions of people who are constantly seeking top-notch products and services for their animals.
The downside of having pets? You already know it: hair. On the couch, on your clothes, on your pillow… floating in the air… it’s everywhere! That’s why this product basically sells itself.
Seller’s Ad
Dude… come on, I don’t want to be too harsh, but you and I both know this could’ve been way better. Let’s learn from this listing. For starters, there’s just one photo on a white background. The info? Just a single short paragraph. No user reviews, no color options, no usage instructions, and no FAQs. Barely any visual appeal. Help me out here!
TikTok Ad
Remember how I said this product basically sells itself? Well, take a look at the over two million likes on this post. And no, it’s not some cinematic masterpiece—it just shows how effective the pet hair remover stick is in a super visual and practical way.
📢 Marketing Tip: Features like AutoDS Spy Tool help dropshippers track viral products and identify winning content strategies, so you can create TikTok ads that actually work, not just hope for the best.
9. Reusable Waterproof Rain Shoes
August might still bring sunshine, but random summer storms? Totally possible. These reusable silicone shoe covers are practical for commuters, students, or anyone caught off-guard by a sudden downpour. Lightweight, foldable, and super easy to slip on, they protect sneakers and everyday shoes from water, mud, and dirt.
They also tap into a growing demand for eco-conscious alternatives; no more wasting plastic bags or ruining shoes in the rain. Whether you’re targeting a travel audience, students heading back to school, or outdoor enthusiasts, this is one of those low-cost, high-utility products that perform great year-round.
Seller’s Ad
At last, my fellow dropshippers, we’ve reached a product listing that truly checks all the boxes. A success! Now, your own listings don’t need to be this perfect—but make sure to hit at least two of the key elements this seller nailed:
- A nice mix of product photos and organic/lifestyle images.
- Clear instructions, sizing, and specs.
- Positive customer reviews to build trust.
- Easy-to-read and well-organized information.
Take notes—this is what a well-done ad looks like.
TikTok Ad
This video made me laugh—which is already a win. Why? Instead of starting by listing the product’s features, it jumps straight into what happens if you don’t use it: muddy feet, slipping on wet pavement, getting your socks soaked—it’s chaos!
It’s a super effective approach because it positions the product as a solution to a very specific and relatable problem. I’d buy it right now, but I’ll wait for you to add it to your store so I can support you instead!
10. Electric Water Guns
Why do these Battle Electric Water Guns sell so well?
I think it’s directly tied to the fact that they take a classic toy and supercharge it with automation. No more endless pumping, just fill, press, and soak your opponent. Parents love them because they keep kids active and off screens, and adults secretly love them even more for the nostalgia and chaotic fun.
Products that combine play, tech, and social engagement (like water battles!) tend to go viral on TikTok and Instagram. They’re made for short-form content, perfect for showing off in action.
Seller’s Ad
Another seller that gets a big thumbs-up! They immediately grab attention with high-quality photos showcasing the product’s color variations. Then, they walk you through its components, step-by-step usage videos, clear user reviews, payment methods, and related items. Remember all this when publishing your own listings; these details matter!
Facebook Ad
Sure, we could break down every single reason why this video went viral… but let’s be honest: this product pretty much sells itself. I mean, compared to the water guns I had growing up, this is next-level stuff! (And not just for kids, let’s be real.)
Toys like these open the door to imaginative, scroll-stopping content. They give us the chance to make authentic, fun videos that genuinely connect with the audience.

It’s 2025, and sourcing products for your dropshipping store shouldn’t be complicated. That’s why AutoDS streamlines product sourcing through automation and smart filters. What does that mean? For starters, you’ll save time, avoid headaches, and close some of those 27 open tabs in your browser.
