Etsy Roundup: Knope’s Nick Nacks

Arguably one of the funniest shows of all time, Parks & Rec will be sorely missed. So, reader, you beautiful tropical fish, please treat yo-self to some retail therapy to soothe the burn. We’ll all be okay, probably.


Starting off strong, this hand-embroidered quote hits hard and succinctly described Andy Dwyer in a nutshell. This would be perfect in any dorm, office, or large hole. Bert Macklin would absolutely approve.


Affordable, garbage-can chic, and featuring the Best Band Ever. This pin is a definite no-brainer, and will earn you some serious punk-points if affixed to a leather/jean jacket. Score. The thing is, you can only wear this pin if you can name more than 5 songs. Otherwise, you’re just a middle-school poser.

 

P.S. Bye-bye Lil’ Sebastian doesn’t count. It is simply too good.

 

3. Treat Yo Self Hand Hoop
Listen, we all need be kind to ourselves. Buy cashmere slippies, robes of pure satin, etc.  Consider this purchase much healthier than splurging on Krispy Kremes and Chef Boyardee. Tip: Treating yo self should not include severe stomach pain and nausea.)

 

4. Perdvert Pin
Mmm, imagine all the shocked double-takes you’ll get wearing this pin. Sure, mom’s will probably cross the street with their kids to avoid you and your leather/jean jacket self, but that’s all part of your plan. You’re here to support Perd, statements of the obvious, and Pawnee.

 

5. Parks & Rec Candles
Oh yes, son. These are 100% real and transcend normal rules of budgeting. Just about PERFECT for that shrine you’ve been building. Once you’ve burned the candle, just clean out the wax residue and you have a Jesus-Leslie that you can drink grape juice out of. Functional!

 

6. Ron Swanson Brooch
I’ll be honest: I thought brooch’s were something that only spinsters and evil stepmothers wore. This appeals to me on a deep and spiritual level that I can’t really explain. The biggest reason this is on the list is because I would look so good in this brooch. People would stop me in the streets and they would know that I can appreciate a fine piece of wood and am very strangely and dysfunctionally attracted to librarians.

 

7. April Parks & Rec Poster
Have truer words ever been spoken? This poster would be a great gift, or a great addition to any hole or dumpster you choose to hide in while telling your girlfriend you’re living in Europe.
 

There you have it, some of our favorite Parks & Rec items on Etsy. Did we miss anything? We’ve got some ideas for possible patterns and products we’d like to offer to pay homage to Parks & Rec, like this mini Ron Swanson up on Etsy, with it’s pattern too!!
