Doing 2021 The Right Way..

10 Items I Found On Etsy To Make You Smile!

I am sooooo over 2020.

It can't end soon enough for me and I am sure that many of you feel the same way. I mean, let's face it – 2020 was literally a shit show starting in January right to the end.


Between the pandemic, the racial injustice unrest, and all of the political crap, 2020 has had people asking the worst question possible - “Well, It can't get worse now can it?”



Why do people even do THAT?!?!?

As of this writing, we are literally ½ way through December. The Covid vaccine is rolling out. Hopefully, all the politics are starting to wane. It's time to say “Buh-Byeeeee 2020”!

And while there are still tears to shed as many may not get the vaccine in time, it is time to start looking forward.

It is time to SMILE again...

So I decided to do a search on Etsy to see what I could find for 2021 to help bring those smiles back. I used the original search term of “2021” and all it was showing me was planners and calenders, that is NOT what I was looking for. So I added just one word and came up with this search term: “2021 funny”.

DING – we have a winner!

So sit back and enjoy as I share my top 10 funny 2021 items. Maybe it will inspire you to search for yourself and bring a smile under your mask.

Coffee Time

After spending endless hours staring in our coffee cups wondering what each day of 2020 was going to bring to the table. So it's only fair that we celebrate 2021 with coffee mugs to change our point of “brew”.

This 2-sided mug really expresses the feelings that we all have about the upcoming new year and leaving 2020 behind.

My next beverage choice will be leading into the next section. While not a coffee mug, I'm sure that there was much wine drinking done during 2020.

Not sure exactly why this seller is already predicting that 2021 sucks but maybe it's a typo? Anyhoo, wine was most definitely needed during 2020 and I love the message on the glass itself.

Baby 2021?

And how did be quarantined work for you this past year? Did you social distance properly? Really, was wine involved???

How Are You Going To Welcome 2021?

I'm looking forward to seeing what 2021 has to offer. But I want to thank the above Etsy shops for taking the time to provide humor and hope to 2021 during the dismal events of 2020.

I hope each of you reading this will do some searching for yourself and find something that makes you smile and giggle, even just a little.

Be sure to visit the handmade artisans of Etsy and other handmade venues. With so many small businesses feeling the pinch and closing, the big box stores are just taking over what is left of this economy. Even when things do really open up and we no longer need to fear people losing their businesses, visit a site that promotes anything artistic and share the love.

Until next time,

LindaSue
