A long time ago I tried CafePress, the online shop where you can create and sell your own stuff. I preferred Zazzle which I still find more flexible and user friendly than CafePress. Both shops are free but in CafePress you can only use one design per product. For example, you can put one digital duck on a small mug, but that means you cannot put more designs on small mugs (but this is only for the free shop - by upgrading to a premium shop you can put as many designs you like on the same kind of product).
