While all you guys are stuck up north in the freezing cold, it's important that you take the time off to get your priorities straight. And by that, I mean it's important that you're efficiently and actively shopping online. Because what better time to spend a lot of money than when you're stuck inside and in layers of pajamas? Exactly. In terms of shopping, Etsy is one of the best places to find something unique. Whether it's an antique diamond engagement ring or a cool laptop cover, the possibilities and range of prices are endless. Plus, there's a lot of cheap stuff on Etsy that looks kinda expensive. In fact, it's totally possible to spend all day shopping, spend nothing compared to what you would spend at the mall, and come away with items none of your other friends have. Take that, mass market brands!
Even if you are shopping with a budget in mind, it's still possible to buy things on Etsy that look totally expensive. That means you can look fancy while still having money to buy hundreds of burritos at Chipotle throughout the year. Like I said: Priorities. They're important. Whether you're looking for a new phone case or a unique piece of jewelry, here are 9 pieces from Etsy that are super cheap, but look expensive.
