Remember a year ago when we were like, “this will just be a few weeks, right?” While it does feel in many ways we may be on the “other side” of the pandemic, it’s been nearly an entire year for most of us since work-from-home, virtual schooling, social distancing and masks became a regular part of our household lexicon. We recently polled our readers and asked “what was the funniest/strangest/most epic thing you purchased during the pandemic?” While some of the answers seemed very popular (hello, pandemic puppies!) others were very practical and others still had us laughing out loud. Read on to see what we learned!
Pandemic Pets

By far the most "things" acquired into our households were pets and all their gear! In order of most to least common, you said:
"Six cases of wine. And six pounds of cereal marshmallows."
"50-pound bag of bread flour. Twice."
"I have no idea why, but at one point I had three large tubs of sour cream in my fridge. It wasn't a conscious decision to purchase that much, but one day I was nosing around and realized that I was single-handedly responsible for creating a food shortage in my grocery's dairy aisle. "
"A case of chocolate pretzel pop-tarts and diet iced tea mix that could probably make 100 gallons..."
"Six pounds of strawberries for my two year old—because I was adding to the same order throughout the day and kept forgetting I already added the damn strawberries. Try to guess who didn’t confirm quantities in the cart before purchasing."
"Special order GrapeNuts"
Household Goods & Bads

"Toilet paper. I was part of the problem. I see that now."
"My husband panic-shopped seed tape in case things went crazy and we needed to grow our own vegetables. I told him that if it came to that we would have to starve for 6-8 weeks before our lettuce, cucumbers, radish and carrots became edible."
"Good: outdoor patio furniture to socialize at six feet. Better: new kitchen floor for the room we live in Best: minivan to travel and sleep and picnic in."
"Waterproof playing cards...3 packs. You know, for all the social gatherings I'm not having."
"Mannequins."
"Many, many cotton balls. I didn't realize the order was for multiple bags. Cotton balls for LIFE."
"Dinosaur costumes for my 9-and 11-year-old girls. They make so many people smile with them on."
"Cleaning slime."
"A house, sight unseen."
"A snow white costume after Halloween and then put it on and told my kids I needed to take a long nap."
"Water and sand table for inside a small two bedroom apartment. Still going strong!"
"So. Many. Purchases. But the funniest—or at least the most delusional —would be the "resort wear" collection I just bought for my pre-covid body because it was 70% off and a day out-of-state can't come soon enough! You know the kind you see in all those resort commercials on FB? Only, who wears a caftan in real life. It will go back. Biggest regret? The outdoor patio heater I bought to bring the 'outdoor restaurant dining experience' home. I hate the cold, so a heater wasn't going to cut it. That got returned unopened. So. Many Purchases! And naturally, I threw major coin at a bounce house which went largely unused for the first half of the pandemic. BUT a family we ended up 'pod-ing' with (did I just make up a word?) wanted to use it 24/7 so my kids now (finally) appreciate it."
Other popular responses included an inflatable hot tub, above ground and backyard inflatable pools, pianos and other musical instruments, outdoor theater screens, and inflatable bounce houses.

What’s better than a sock puppet? How about a set of adorable socks that double as hand puppets. Olympian Shawn Johnson East and her husband Andrew East, were inspired by their 14-month-old daughter Drew to create the playful kid-friendly Teddy & Bear.
Each pair of Teddy & Bear is knitted with the comfiest, coziest supima cotton. They can be worn as children’s socks or hand puppets.
Each set includes eight adorable new friends to invite into your home:
Teddy the Tiger is the fastest, strongest critter of the bunch.
Bear the Bear keeps the crew in line and is known for his hugs.
Mallie the Mallard Duck is a total know-it-all and the fanciest friend.
Addy the Alligator might have big teeth, but has an even bigger heart.
Ray the Raccoon is very eager to peak through your pockets.
Ziggy the Zebra is silly as can be and always ready to play.
Mabel the Mouse is a little shy, but sure does love some cheese.
Phoebe the Pig is your inspiration to kick back and have a roll in the mud.
“Teddy & Bear socks are an extension of the magic we’ve experienced in becoming parents,” said Shawn. “We wanted to create a brand that captures the world you’re swept into when playing with your child.” “For Drew, they’re not just socks; they’re friends,” added Andrew. “We can’t wait to share how we’re making seemingly small moments silly and fun every day.”
Prices start at $36, and there are four sizes available, ranging from 0–6 years old. To place an order and learn more about the adorable sock crew, visit Teddy & Bear today.
