A few months back, we went down a bit of a rabbit hole, searching far and wide for some of the weirdest items you can buy on Amazon. While some were relatively PG, such as a giant loaf of bread to be used as a pillow, others were… well… items like a wolf dildo. There’s really no other way to say it. But, this got us thinking, which other hidden corners of the internet can you purchase some odd items? Well, sadly, we got an answer way too quickly. It’s Etsy. And these weird Etsy products completely surpass the bizarreness we saw on Amazon. We almost wish we were never curious to begin with.
The thing about Etsy is that just about everything is either vintage or homemade. While most of this aspect makes Etsy an incredible place for small businesses and up-and-coming artists, it also allows for a bit of a strange grey area regarding what is allowed to be sold on Etsy. Something you might think is really wacky; another might be calling their “art.” We understand art is absolutely subjective, but some things feel like they deserve a spot on the dark web instead of Etsy.
Sure, the word “weird” is subjective as well. We get it; what you might think is weird, we might not. One thing we can all agree on with the products below: all are definitely… not the norm. Essentially, the below is a collection of oddities you can find creepy vintage shops, outlandish art fairs, and well, sex stores for the ultra-kinky.
Most of these weird Etsy products are going to make you feel uncomfortable. Expect to see some gore, some taboo topics, and some gags. And, weirdly, the majority of items you’ll see below kind of have to do with the human body. Why? Well, we’re unsure. We don’t ask questions when it comes to weird Etsy products.
From planters (yes, for your plants) you won’t believe exist to diagrams we’re not sure should be sold online, check out 27 weird Etsy products.

They don’t have to know the truth.
Baby Octopus in a Jar
These ethically-sourced baby octopi in a jar are ideal for sitting aside any odd knickknack you have in your home. Yeah, they’re dead, so you won’t be able to call it your “pet” unless you’re a bit kookier than the average person. Which, given where you are, you might be.
