Christmas Present Internet Window Shopping-Etsy Edition

Etsy is a crazy place where you can find all sorts of things you never knew you needed.  Since I have taken a semi-vow not to buy myself anything unnecessary this month in order to focus on others I decided to do a little Internet window shopping via Etsy.  I'm not asking for these things, but I think they are really cool.
Things I like....

Ron Swanson Bacon and Eggs Art.  I'm not lying.  I lovvve Parks and Recreation.   It's definitely in a tie for my current favorite comedy.  And I love Ron Swanson.  I'm sure I could find a place somewhere in my house for this.

I LIKE NAPS t-shirt.  Why?  I like naps.  I like t-shirts.  What's not to like?

Spice Rack for the wall...I can never find my cumin in the spice area of my kitchen cabinets.  Maybe this would help.

Pillow covers from Lynne's This and That.  This would be an affordable pop of color on the den or basement couches.  There are lots of really cute patterns.

Kitchen themed magnets.  These are cute and would be perfect to hold up my mixed assortment of papers and photos I keep on the fridge.

A Bar table.  I mean yes, this is over $10K and probably would not actually fit in my house.  But if someone wants to go ahead and pick this up for me that would be great.  I kidd.  But I do think it's cool looking.


I could go on and on with this but I will go ahead and stop.

On another note, there is a section on etsy that recommends stuff to you that matches your taste.  The following items apparently match my taste.... wood drawstring briefs (???????), gun key hook organizer (I'm against violence), grinning squirrel photography (although I did once buy B a squirrel t-shirt on etsy), and a fox hat (etsy apparently think I'm really into forest creatures). While I'm sure that these are wonderful shops and that some people would love these items, I'm starting to think that Etsy does not know me at all.

Are you buying any Christmas gifts from Etsy?
What would be on your fake Holiday wish list?
Has Etsy every suggested something for you that is the complete opposite of your taste?

Big yuck to the wood drawstring briefs! Why does etsy think you would like that.

BAHAA! I just clicked on the link to the briefs at work! Too funny! I want to buy this for someone, but not worth the price tag. And I think Etsy knows you perfectly! I actually got my mom something from Etsy this year and I am totally putting that bar table on my fake wish list too! That is gorgeous.
