What if you spent every day looking for One Beautiful Thing?

Etsomnia™ Volume 67: Happy Horrid-Days

Super-absorbent Lightdays® Christmas tree – now with wings!

Et·som·ni·a (/etˈsämnēə/), noun, 1. a sleep disorder caused by obsessive Etsy browsing. 2. the surprising arrival of weird handmade merchandise ordered when one is only half conscious. (True story.)

It’s the day after Thanksgiving, and it is no longer reasonable for me to grumble about holiday decorations. But even if it’s no longer calendar-appropriate for me to mutter about the timing of the decorations, I can at least get my snark on about the parade of holiday horribles that’s currently stinking up Etsy.

When I looked for holiday decorations on Etsy, I found everything from Christmas cornholes to penguins with yarmulkes to this thing. I really suffered for this one. I had to power through an awful lot of disturbing stuff like dolls and elves and deformed angels and  other crap in order to find the real Etsy gold. You’re welcome.

As usual, links to the items for sale appear below each picture. For more Etsy fun, check out all my weekly Etsomnia™ posts. Follow me on Bloglovin!

  1. Ha! The French Bulldog ornamentis looks like it has a pile of poop on his head.

  2. Etsomnia was well worth the wait…I’m still laughing at Pooh-Dolph (I’m easily amused).

  3. Oh, Etsy. It never disappoints, but I’m proud to say it really came through in the clutch this time. Who knew there were so many inappropriate Christmas-themed bathroom decorations to be found in the bowels of that site? You dug for gold, and it really panned out. Sure, some of the decorations were shitty, but one man’s trash…

    I’ll stop.

    After I share this.

  6. I have also seen an olive picker made from a fork. Only 1 prong uncurled. It looks like the single-fingered salute. Guess which one?

  7. So here I sit reading this on my laptop with my cat on my lap . . . and I snorted so loudly at your “What is Santa doing to that reindeer . . .” comment that he (the cat) jumped about a foot off my lap.

  8. I kind of like the zombie tree topper. And those angels look a bit like zombies too. Perhaps a zombie theme this year?!
