I make children's clothes, greeting cards, handbags, artwork, gift items generally that I sell on line on Etsy and I am trying to get my new business off the ground and sell wholesale as well. In preparing my business plan I am at Stage 4 and not quite sure what my industry is. Would it be Crafts and Gifts Industry? I'd appreciate any help identifying this as it all feels like gray area, not solely this and not solely that. Thank you.

From the details you have provided, it seems you specialize in selling gifts
leaving you in the gifts industry. All of the items you mentioned are
something that would be purchase as a gift to someone. The one type of item
that might be in a different sector would be baby clothing, but with some
proper branding you can market it as a gift for someone else's baby (for
example gift for a baby shower).

Hi there, in this section you should provide more detail about the characteristics of your industry so you can indicate the wide range of goods offered. If you are still confused try talking to a mentor who could offer you specific guidance. Good luck!
