Just know that I look at products all day long, so it has to be something really special to catch my eye. Ah, Etsy — a true treasure trove of unique and sometimes unhinged products. And as someone who spends 40 hours a week looking at products, I'm not often impressed or intrigued by products. But these products...yeah, they've wandered into my cart and I'm entering my credit card number as we speak. From I Spy-themed products that make my millennial self feel seen to home decor pieces that are worth the splurge and silly bumper stickers, I want all of them. Pretty, please?
