Now before I share the top 5 I do want to say that the number one best selling product was the Personal Finance Solar Eclipse resource! This resource was created specifically for the 2024 Solar Eclipse, but can be used with any Solar Eclipse and is included in the 5 Star Rated Personal Finance Holiday Unit Bundle! I didn't include it in this top 5 because it was so specific for last April, but I did want to mention it here!
