Items for sale
Wares are goods for sale, especially those displayed by a merchant or vendor: The street market vendors spread their wares on blankets.
The word has an old-fashioned or literary flavor, often appearing in set phrases like peddle one's wares.
By extension, someone can hawk their wares metaphorically—promoting skills, ideas, or services.
