I have to admit that Etsy has been my go-to online marketplace for all sorts of shopping ideas lately. You’d be surprised how many awesome and practical products you can find there. And, so many items are made with love there.
It’s also amazing to be able to support a variety of artisans and local small businesses. Here’s a list of some useful items I’ve come across recently.
1. Taco Holder

Who else is eagerly awaiting the next Taco Tuesday, huh? I can’t even tell you how much I love making tacos. However, once you take all the time to assemble them, everything just ends up falling out. Not anymore with this helpful holder!
2. Decorative Clothespin Photo Holder

Oh wow, have you ever seen a cool idea like this before? I can’t say that I have. I would never have thought of displaying my pictures on the wall using these oversized clothespins.
3. Rustic Wood Blanket Ladder

If you’re always on the lookout for unique home decor items, I think I have found one for you. What do you think of this rustic wood blanket ladder you can display in your living room?
4. Contemporary Walnut Hardwood Wine Rack

Where do you keep your wine? Is it in a cabinet or a cupboard? Why not showcase your eclectic taste with this super cool contemporary walnut hardwood wine rack instead, huh? I think your friends would be impressed.
5. Custom Bottle Stoppers

Speaking of wine lovers, what do you use to cork your bottles? Why use just some boring old bottle stoppers when you can have so much more fun with these. I love the idea of them.
6. Linen Bread Bag

If you’re used to getting freshly baked bread from the local bakery, you definitely need to get this item. This rustic-looking linen bread bag is naturally anti-microbial and will keep your loaves of crusty bread fresh.
7. Leather Cable Organizer

Why would you buy some cheap and mass-produced cable organizer when you can get something like this instead? This leather cord keeper is a keeper in my eyes. I think it would make a great gift, too.
8. Humorous Coasters

It’s always fun to have friends over for some drinks. Am I right? However, it’s not fun when these friends leave drink rings all over your new coffee table. Now you can be tidy and funny at the same time.
9. Tabletop Glass Fireplace

Can you imagine how much cozier your place would be if you got this mini tabletop fireplace? What a unique concept, huh? You can warm up your patio and heart with this lantern and even roast s’mores. Wow!
10. Washable Sponge

You do know how gross kitchen sponges can get, right? They’re not exactly all that good to keep around. However, these 100% cotton terry cloth and polyester mesh ones are mildew resistant, washable, and hypoallergenic. They’re also way more eco-friendly.
11. Solid Wood Bathtub Ledge

I don’t know about you, but it’s been a while since I’ve taken a relaxing bath. I think it’s time I do something about that. The solid wood ledge is looking so good right about now.
12. Double Dipper Sauce Car Holder

Oh my goodness, what a genius idea, huh? Now you can have your take out fries and chicken strips without worrying about where you’ll stash those dipping sauces. I’m so getting this for our car.
13. Face Mask With A Clear Window

Finally, a mask you can wear that won’t completely hide your face. Everybody will see your smile and your makeup, too. These are also a great option to use around people who lip-read. The best thing about this product is that it uses anti-fog technology. OMG, wow!
See, I told you Etsy is the place to go for some unique and useful items.
Perhaps you would never have thought of it, but I hope you’ll consider it from now on. Have you ever shopped at Etsy before?
