You can add below block in your newsletter template to display products from specific category, You have to define category id in category_id attribute here.

{{block type="catalog/product_list" column_count="4" category_id="3" template="catalog/product/list.phtml"}}

Here use your own custom template file instead of catalog/product/list.phtml as it will display sorting of page and other things so you can remove that in your template file.

also dont forgot to whitelist this

  • Got to system > Permission > Blocks
  • Add New Block
  • Add catalog/product_list and set Is Allow = Yes

  • Hi which version of magento you are using please try with add limit attribute in block if it works if not then make a new phtml file and break the loop after products you wish to display.
