Etsom·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.) 3. An excuse for me to be an obnoxious, snarky New Yorker once per week.

These are Fun Cubes. I get the cube part…This quarantine bucket list seems like a cool idea for parents struggling to keep the kids occupied. By PaperBucketMissing your people? Don’t worry. You can get their heads printed on weird, misshapen pillows. That seems comforting, right?I can’t even imagine. By SunnyBelleDesignsD.I.Y. kid’s steampunk jewelry kit to occupy even the most sullen of tweens. By KuriosityKatI’m all for jigsaw puzzles to kill time. I even like them. But a double-sided puzzle with the same artwork on both sides? This seems like a marital fight starter kit.What fascinating advanced embroidery kits! I’m a total novice, but if I thought I could create something that looked that good, I’d try it! By JungleSpiritCraftsNow THAT is a great way to use your time at home! Vintage Julia Child cookbook sold by RetroReadingBooksIf you get really bored, you can pay a virtual psychic to predict your future. (An accurate prediction of my future would involve messy hair, pinot grigio, and yoga pants.)I love the idea of this removable colorable wallpaper! By PostersColoringWe did this just last weekend! You take wildflower (or morning glory) seeds, and you walk around your neighborhood, spreading them in any areas that are abandoned, overrun with weeds, or just in need of some cheer. I can’t wait until mine come up! By SacredPlantCoI guess this “girlfriend pillow” could be worse (definitely don’t click here).
I’m definitely not clicking there! And now I’m wondering how digitally dirty a mouse can get by approximation to porn sites! Better sterilize you’re mouse, just to be safe!
I fell iin love with the little girl and the wall color book/art. I have a 6 year old that visits, wonder if I can find that wall art and afford it. Hal
You know I had to click where you told me not to click. As horrifying as that image is, I actually don’t think it is the worst thing you’ve ever shared on Etsomnia. What on earth is the purpose or function of those cube things? I truly don’t get it. The homeschooling drinking receptacles are super relevant to my life right now. It is just as well I don’t have any booze in the house because my liver could be pate right now if I was prone to drinking my stress away. Overseeing four kids doing distance learning is definitely upping my comfort eating vice, however.
Of course it’s not the worst thing ever! I honestly can’t imagine what that would be. Better not to speculate. The cubes? Pure idiocy. I can’t even image how managing four kids, even four as awesome as yours are, would affect your peace of mind. I’m going to go have a drink for you.
I love that bucket list, except for the “jumping on the bed”. Since we have a water bed, that would not end well. I am thinking a nerf gun could be quite fun as a stress reliever!

Our little visitors would love it to bits! I’m considering converting a wall when they are coming over, too. Whenever that is…

Cheers! I really don’t recommend a quest for the worst Etsy item ever. I am not sure there is a bottom to that abyss.

Agreed, though I would bet it involved teeth and hair.
