I've found the weirdest, strangest things for sale on Etsy.

Etsy is a great website for artists and entrepreneurs to sell their items on the "world wide web." Over the years I have bought many things on the website. Bridal shower gifts for my bridesmaids, personalized towels for my nieces, and even a taxidermy mouse. The site is a fantastic place to find personalized gifts for anyone you love (and even yourself).

Taxidermy Mouse

Taxidermy Pope Mouse

Don't ask me why, but I was thinking to myself one day, "What's the strangest thing I can find on Etsy?" I figured I'd discover some funky Christmas ornaments, a silly T-shirt, and maybe a totally inappropriate political mug. But what actually I found was so much worse, and funnier than that.

My search on Etsy brought me to some weird objects. Two-headed taxidermy ducks? Celebrity inspired "art" and animal's pooping out of toothpaste tubes. (You're going to have to scroll down to see that one). It totally freaked me out, I'm not going to lie.

Etsy Is A Great Place To Shop

Either way, I have been a supporter of Etsy for many years now, and I am confident that you'll get a great chuckle after you see what I've found on the website. And if you are an artist that's always wanted to sell your personalized items like t-shirts, tumblers, embroidered sweatshirts, and wedding gifts, you might want to consider signing up to sell your items.

According to the website, it's easy to become a vendor. Of course they take a percentage of every sale, because if they didn't, they wouldn't make money. But you can look into the x's and o's that at your will. Once you do though, leave it to people like me to buy the craziest things out there. What I've learned about humans is that there truly is something out there for everyone.

A Very Real Looking Popping Eye

I can't even being to understand why someone would make this, and even sell it. It's freaky, that's for sure! I'm thinking someone who's very into creepy Halloween things would be into buying this.

Shrek Like You've Never Seen Shrek Before

The artist calls this "classical art." In a way, it does give off that vibe, doesn't it? I almost feel like I'm in the Museum of Fine Arts looking at something exquisite. Kidding, I feel like I'm looking at Shrek, just a weirder version of the movie cartoon.

"The Rock" Slug?

Is it a slug or is it The Rock? If you ask this artist who made it, it's obviously both! But if you ask me, it looks like Frankenstein got inspired by the last Dwayne Johnson movie and has a things for slimy things that live in the dirt. So naturally, why not make a slug rock?

Devito Cheeto

Danny DeCheeto can be yours in magnet form. There's so many things you can do with this Cheeto. You can put on your min fridge at the office. Or you can proudly hang your kids' artwork. No matter what you do, it's a fantastic gift for anyone who wants a good chuckle.

Puppy Poop Toothpaste Dispenser

Now I can safely say that I've seen it all. I don't know WHO came up with a golden retriever that you put on the top of your toothpaste that looks like it's pooping out toothpaste. But someone did! I can actually think of a few people who would love this as a gift.

Two-Headed Taxidermy Ducks

I have purchased taxidermy animals on Etsy before (a pope mouse to be exact). But what's up with these two-headed ducks? I'm pretty sure that two-headed ducks don't exist in the wild, so this artist must have created this just for fun. That disturbs me beyond belief.
