Unicorn Etsy Top Ten

Greetings all ^-^

This week is all about unicorns.  Because unicorns.

Enjoy ^-^



1. Unicorn Hood sold by TrafficCone

Have you ever wanted to be a unicorn? Of course you have!  Well now you can!  Let your dreams of prancing around living a care-free, magical existence be (partially) fulfilled by this awesome hood.  It even has attached mittens, and rainbow lining! And tassels!!  So awesome!!















2. Magical Unicorn Wedges sold by NixxiRose

Puuuuuuurrrrdy.  These shoes (like all of Nixxi Rose's designs - see my other top tens for some examples ^-^) are amazing! With these, you are one step closer (see what I did there?) to living your unicorn dream.  Love them!



















3. Florahawk Mohawk Headdress sold by PenduloudThreadsUK

Do you like unicorns, but just can't bring yourself to become a sparkly, colourful, rainbow-loving individual?  Do you prefer to keep things more in line with your outlook of humanity?  Then this is perfect for you!  A Unicorn, "florahawk" mohawk headdress.  Just the name of it sounds awesome.  Go! Live your gothic unicorn dream!













4. Handmade Unicorn Poop sold by TG02014

Ever wondered what unicorn poop looks like?  Or smells like?  Apparently it smells awesome, and can be used as soap.  I am so very curious about this. More curious than I have ever been about poop.  Made with vegan-friendly oils, this item makes me a lot happier than poop should. Love it.















5. Handmade Silver Unicorn Necklace sold by OberonJewellery

You may have noticed that if you type "unicorn" into Etsy's search bar, there are many, many, many results.   Most of which are very similar.  This one, however, really stood out to me.  I love the contrast of the gold horn on the silver, and the detail is just wonderful.  A really beautiful design, and exceptionally well made.  And the photos are so cool!

















6. Unicorn Relics Chest sold by RealmsOfFae

This is a really lovely idea.  The chest contains a unicorn horn, unicorn shadow, and unicorn mane.  And the magical properties of these relics are enclosed in a small scroll tied with a silver unicorn charm.  A wonderful little gift for any unicorn fan ^-^



















7.  Rocking Unicorn sold by HomeGardenBench

I wish I was five again.  This wooden rocking chair unicorn is a lovely idea.  The horn is soft and detachable, so no children will be spearing themselves on it. Very pretty and well made ^-^

















8. Rainbow Unicorn Wraparound Ring sold by TheVulpeculiar

It's so cute!! You may not have noticed, but I love anything cute (and fluffy.  But this is not fluffy.  The cute makes up for it).   This is a really simple, but wonderfully bright piece of jewellery.  It is made to your ring size, so no sadness on receiving it and it not fitting.  It just looks so peaceful and content.  I envy that unicorn...















9. Unicorn Wire Headgear sold by JoshKard

Are regular unicorn horns not fancy enough for you?  Would you prefer to be a special, upper-class unicorn?  Then this is the item for you.  Be a fancy unicorn!  You'll instantly feel better about life ^-^





















10. Twinkle Unicorn Ring sold by MONVATOOLondon

This is a very pretty ring.  I featured it's dragon counterpart in my Dragon Etsy Top Ten a while ago, but I think I like this one even more!  It's sparkly, it's a unicorn, it's well made, and can be adjusted to your ring size.  It's awesome.



















Ritzy Pick(s)
I couldn't decide between these two awesome items this week, so I'm featuring both ^-^

Unicorn Heels sold by AshantiLou

More shoes!!! Yes, I did already feature some unicorn heels, but these also needed bringing to your attention. For £290, these awesome heels designed by Ashanti Lou could be yours!  I'm not sure I could walk in them, but more practised individuals would be able to.  I envy those people!

















Baroque Latex Bodysuit sold by Eustratia

This is a really amazing piece.  For £120, this gorgeous latex body suit could be yours.  You may ask how this relates to unicorns.  No, unicorns are not renowned for their love of latex bodysuits.  There are unicorns on the front of the suit.  And I just love the cut of the item.  It's really different, and feminine.  Wonderful ^-^

Batman Etsy Top Ten

Greetings all ^_^

Welcome to this weeks Etsy Top Ten.  There are some awesome items here, so have a look & maybe you'll find an xmas present for that Batman-crazed friend you have, or just for you.  I've tried to find the most interesting and different Batman-themed items, because there are so many out there and personally, I like things that are a little bit different to the norm.

Enjoy ^-^

1. Batman Hat sold by beautifwool

Love this awesome little crochet hat ^-^ The little bat ears on the top are my favourite part, as well as the little tassels.

















2. Batman Tubetastic Pimps sold by Tubetasticpimp

This is something I've never come across before, but it is such a brilliant idea!  These little things are accessories for hearing aids or cochlear implants, and the seller has loads of different designs.  I love the batmobile one best ^-^
















3. Riddler Bag sold by QuirkyBoo

Such a quirky, awesome bag!  Made from cotton and decorated with a lovely bow and a great little Riddler lego figure, this is a great nod to batman fans.  I especially like the design of the fabric, with the question mark made of bats ^-^
















4. Batman Key Rack sold by 2D23D

A really cool idea, and practical too.  Sadly, since I found this item, it has actually sold.  But the seller has many other awesome Batman-related items on their Etsy page, so go check them out ^_^














5.  Keepsake Box sold by KatesComicCraft

I love this little box ^-^ Really well made and beautifully hand-painted, this keepsake box is perfect for keeping all those important little bits and pieces safe.  It even comes with a key lock so you know your things are secure ^-^













6. Batman Necklace sold by rachemstar

There are lots of Batman necklaces around Etsy, but this one really stands out.  It's such a cool design, and wonderfully different and quirky.  Love it ^-^

















7. DC Comic Oragami Bouquet sold by PaperBouquetsco

This really is something special.  Made by a paper and origami artist, using pages from DC comics, this is a wonderfully unique item.  The seller can create many different styles of bouquets, with your choice of theme, be it DC, Marvel, love letters, photos, or anything else you can think of.  This is a really lovely idea, and beautifully made.

















8. Batman Sleep Mask sold by lemonyjen

This is rather awesome.  Why just go to sleep, when you can go to sleep as Batman??  I especially love the little bow on the side ^-^ Very cute, and also practical.  Love it.















9.  Silicone Batman Mould sold by PickleLillys

This is really awesome ^-^ Now you can make cakes in the shape of batman's face.  Who wouldn't want that??  Also jelly.  Because nom.















10. Batman Reusable Sanitary Pad sold by lunalandingscouk

I didn't even know these existed until today.  You might initially think "ew, gross" but think about how much you spend on sanitary towels/tampons in a lifetime?  And it still galls me how we have to pay tax on those things!  This is a good alternative if you're not happy using the Mooncup-style reusable lady products.  Also much more environmentally friendly than single-use sanitary products.  And you get to have batman in your pants. Just sayin'...

















Ritzy Pick
Batman Art Deco Vintage Chest Of Drawers sold by smithersofstamford

For £385, this wonderful chest of drawers could be yours to make your home that little bit more special. Decorated with vintage comics from around the 1970's, this would make a great addition to any comic nerd's batcave, or wherever you prefer to be all brooding and secretive. 

Zombie Etsy Top Ten

Greetings all ^-^

Welcome to this weeks Etsy Top Ten.  As every good nerd should, I have spent many hours contemplating what I would do in the zombie apocalypse.  Do you know who your apocalypse buddy is yet?  If so, you may find these zombie-related items to be excellent gifts for them, as well as a gentle reminder of their commitment to your safety and borderline sanity.  Don't worry if you haven't found your buddy yet; you can use these items to bribe/lure someone into this role.

Enjoy!


1. Zombie Pin Cushion sold by DarkKittyCrafts

Yaaay! Awesome sewing supplies!!  This little pin cushion is adorable, and will brighten up any sewing day ^-^















2. Zombie Teapot sold by richardsymonsart

I remember stumbling upon this gorgeous little teapot a while ago, but I can't remember if I featured it or not.  Either way, you can enjoy it now/again, as it is definitely a wonderful addition to a zombie top ten ^-^.  Hand painted with zombie-esque details, this tea pot will show you who exactly is read for the apocalypse, and who to cut from your team.











3. Zombie Chess Set sold by oggtheclever

This is amazing!  Believe it or not, this chess set has been made by hand from reformed stone.  The detail is awesome, and the idea itself is just brilliant!  Love it ^-^















4.  Zombie Virus and Vaccine Necklace Set sold by TildaMaeBasset

These wonderful little vials contain the zombie virus, and it's vaccine.   Keep them together, or give one to your trusted apocalypse buddy; either way, these make a great piece of jewellery ^-^ and the seller has many other zombie-themed pieces of jewellery for sale if your apocalypse team is a big one :)













5. Necro Zombie Flesh Platform Heels sold by NixxiRose

Ermagherd!! Love these shoes ^-^  It was really difficult to pick one item from this sellers list, as there is just so much cool stuff!  But these shoes are just so beautiful, with really wonderful detail, that I had to choose them.  Not so good for running away from zombies, but definitely a good call for a cosplay, or just a night out ^-^


















6. Zombie Finger Hair Clip sold by PendulousThreadsUK

This is such a cool hair clip, and the detailing is amazing.  There are three different colours to choose from, and I can't decide which I like more!  An awesome statement accessory. Love it ^-^

















7. Leg Garter and Purse sold by BeesBizarreBazaar

This is AMAZING!  I love the fact that it's a purse attached to a garter: sexy and practical.  Two of my favourite things!  The fabric is awesome, but I'd probably get in to trouble if I wore this, as I wouldn't want to keep it hidden.  Short skirts ahoy!!













8. Crochet Zombie Cow sold by MyLittleBeastie

D'aaaaaawwww!  This cuddly little zombie cow is far too adorable for it's own good!  I love his little horns, and the facial scar just makes him look more rakish.  I just want to give him a hug and feed him brains ^-^
















9. Full Face Zombie Prosthetic (Painted) sold by Themaskmaker

This is another of Meesha Spurr's latex prosthetics.  I featured his spiderman chest prosthetic in a previous top ten, and this one is even more amazing!  This one has been carefully pre-painted, so it's great for anyone who hasn't worked with latex before, or someone like me who can't paint for toffee.  I don't even like toffee.  Anyway, this is an awesome item, and really well made.  If ever you're looking for a unique zombie costume, this is where you need to go.  Don't worry, you can blend right in with this!
















10. Zombie Ice Cream Cup sold by Zombiepottery

Ermagherd!  These are amazing!! There are three different designs, and I think this one was my favourite (but it's difficult to be sure!).  I love ice cream, so this would make me very happy.  They are made from porcelain, and are hand painted.  Really well made, and wonderful colourful detail, these would make a great gift for any zombie-aficionado.... or just someone who likes ice cream... NOM NOM NOM!!


















Ritzy Pick
Necro Gnome! Zombie Garden Gnome sold by TheLoneMagpie

Yaaaaaay! Undead gnome!! The detailing on this is terrifying, and amazing.  For £85, this wonderfully horrifying garden gnome could be yours to terrify your friends, relatives, and neighbours alike!  He is made from clay, and hand painted with porcelain paint, and would make a wonderful addition to any garden or graveyard ^-^

Whovian Etsy Top Ten

My apologies, my lovelies.  I have been far too snowed under with work for the past few weeks.  All the deadlines, all the stress, all the getting up at 5:15am, all the headaches.  But I have this weekend to sort my life out a little, and the first thing on the agenda is this weeks Etsy Top Ten ^-^

As you may have worked out from the title, this week is all about Dr Who.  As Dr Who is a UK series (and totally awesome), there was a lot of items to choose from this week, and it was hard to narrow it down to just ten (although my Ritzy Pick does let me cheat and push it up to eleven).  But somehow I managed.  Hopefully you'll find something here that you really want, or that you know a friend would adore (it's coming up to christmas, you know!).

Enjoy ^-^


1.  Fez Tea Cozy sold by HumbugsHouse

This is just too adorable.  A fez tea cosy for any fan of the eleventh Doctor.  As we British are also notorious for our tea addictions, this item is incredibly English in its existence.












2. Book Clutch Bag sold by CelfaChrefft

I love things like this.  I am an avid reader, and I also own a wallet.  Therefore, upcycled books made into bags appeal to me quite a lot.  I love the handle and button on this item - simple, but suits the theme.  A really wonderful idea, and beautifully made.















3. Number Ten Bookmark sold by bethydesigns

So cute!!  The tenth Doctor is my favourite, which is why I decided to feature this particular one from the seller.  But don't despair if another Doctor has stolen your heart, the seller has many different ones, all as adorable as this one.  As I mentioned above, I love reading, and so this item is practical as well as awesome.  Love it.














4. Dalekanium Roll On Perfume sold by GeekyCandlesCo

These guys make the best stuff!  I love their shop, and I want pretty much all their items, and not just out of pure curiosity as to what various sci-fi things smell like.  And it's not just perfume; the seller also has candles, soap, and scented tarts (I had to look up what they meant by that one.  My mind had initially gone somewhere else...).  Eco-friendly, and just plain friendly.  Check out all the odd scents of the sci-fi universe.













5. Bow Ties Are Cool Shoes sold by Bunnypumpkinboutique

Ermagherd!!  I absolutely love these shoes!!  They are just so cool!  And if tweed isn't your style, check out the sellers other items; they're all as cool as this pair of heels.  I love the little cog charms on the sides, and the bow is just adorable.  A really wonderful design, and beautifully made. Want.

















6. Fez Mini-Top Hat sold by OohLaLaBoudoir

The design of this is just amazing.  Very much the eleventh Doctor all over.  This really does make the fez cool.  Really well made by an experienced seller, this item makes an awesome addition to any Geek-Chic wardrobe, or just as a unique piece of art to display at home.

















7. Police Box Belly Ring sold by AimToCharm

I've had my belly button pierced for so many years now that I forget it's there, and just wear the same belly-ring all the time.  This however, would definitely push me to change.  I love this little TARDIS belly-bar, and I would be more than happy to get my less-than-flat stomach out to show it off ^-^ love it!



















8. Snowflake TARDIS decoration sold by KasumiCrafts

So cute ^-^  Very christmassy, and would look great on any christmas tree.  Or even added to a Dr Who costume or outfit as a little embellishment.  It could be added to a necklace or bracelet, or used as a phone charm (if that's still a thing - I may be horribly behind the times here).  Whatever you decide to use it for, it's a wonderful little decoration, which any Whovian would be happy to own ^-^



















9. Soft Kitty Inspired Pillow Cushion Cover sold by Hx5Designs

Squeeeee!  I love this little Soft Kitty variation.  Those crazy Daleks, always up to mischief!  If cushions aren't your thing (you strange, strange person), then the seller has many other variants, including mugs, wallets, and even a clock.

















10. TARDIS Skirt sold by PicknMix

This is just amazing.  Really well made and truly unique.  The seller gets the fabric made especially, and will make the skater-style skirt to order.  A great addition to any Whovian's wardrobe.  Love it ^-^

















Ritzy Pick
Upcycled Vintage Rotary Telephone sold by lovekittypink

 

I love the fabric used for the decoupage on this gorgeous vintage phone.  The great thing is that this is in 100% working order and can be used with the majority of UK landline connections.  A wonderful, unique gift for any Whovian ^-^  At £190, this makes it our Ritzy Pick of the week, but well worth the monies. I especially love the little Dalek in the middle of the dial.  Squeee ^-^

Video Game Etsy Top Ten

Greetings all ^-^

Welcome to this weeks Etsy Top Ten!  Every item this week is video game related, and there were so many awesome things to choose from :) Well done, Etsy sellers.

1.  NukaCola Light sold by GeekeryGamingLights

I've been playing fallout 3 recently, so this is setting my nerdy-gamer senses alight :P  Love the game, love this light.
















2. Koffing Knitted Plushie sold by PixelKnitting

Koffing!! Super cute knitted plushie here.  Pokemon is awesome anyway, but give me an adorable plushie pokemon & I will be one happy gamer ^-^











3. Legend of Zelda 3D paper Diorama sold by TheEllenConnection

This is just awesome!  It must have taken so very long to construct, and the detail is amazing.  A very cool piece of art.










4. NES style USB controller sold by IgnisFatuusBooks

Love this ^-^  It's so very cool!  It looks like something you'd find in the wastelands of a post-apocalyptic nerdy world.












5. Companion Cube Necklace sold by BuyMerchandiseOnline

Yay!  The companion cube!! Yes, I am one of those people who like to tell you how the cake is a lie.  And I love this necklace to remind me how much I loved the companion cube.














6. Pokedex Notebook sold by IgnisFatuusBooks

Now you can have your very own pokedex!  However, you'll have to fill it with interesting pokemon data yourself... or whatever data/drawings you want to.  I'd draw pokemon... but it's up to you... I guess :P














7. Ocarina of Time, songbook, & bag sold by ZeldaOcarinaStore

This is amazing!  You can actually play it!  And there is a song book with it!  Want, want, want!













8. Tonberry Earrings sold by TheTrinkTrunk

These are such an amazing idea ^-^  A Tonberry is an enemy from the final fantasy series, which holds a knife and a lamp.  They are damned hard to kill, and your best bet is to run away from them. Such a cool idea to make Tonberry-accessory-accessories










9. Moogle Chocobo Rider Wallet sold by 6DiamondInTheRough9

D'aaaaaw.  Love Moogles and love chocobos, so a Moogle chocobo rider is overly cute :)  Plus, this is a really well made wallet & the detail is wonderful.  Love it ^-^















10. Cage Cameo Keychain sold by brightpindesign

I am a big Bioshock fan, and given the choice, I chose the cage (because pfft birdies).  Love this necklace - a subtle nod to other Bioshock fans who notice your necklace ^-^

















Ritzy Pick
Skyrim Dragon Mask in Copper sold by thomasotom

This weeks ritzy pick is a Skyrim-inspired dragon mask.  It doesn't just come in copper, but many other metals as well - so take your pick.  A really cool idea, and is big enough to wear, or just hand on the wall as a cool piece of art.  Made by a university model-making student, you can be sure this will be a really well made, and interesting piece of art :)
