# Freakishly Fawnciful Headbands The Oh Deer Headband Brings the Forest to Your Forehead By Jessica Marcel | Published 2010-01-10 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oh-deer-headband References: [craftastrophe.net](http://craftastrophe.net/2010/01/deer/#more-5090) & [etsy](http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=37413401) This item must be included on a list somewhere titled “How to Look Like a Crazy Lady.” The Oh Deer headband from [Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keyboard-wrist-rest)’s Pretty Good Things has a [small fawn](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/naked-wolfe-bambi-boot) (think Bambi) curled up on a fuzzy little circle placed off center on the band. The effect could be called cute, but will more likely elicit laughter. I could be wrong, though. The Oh Deer headband wearers pictured here look awfully happy with their headwear. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.9/10 - Popularity: 15% | Activity: 3% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Pets](https://www.trendhunter.com/pets) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Animal-inspired Accessories:** Designing headbands and other accessories featuring animal figures in a unique way is a trend on the rise that offers opportunities for targeted retail partnership and licensing deals. - **Off-centered Headbands:** Creating headbands with asymmetrical designs featuring unique objects like animals or flowers is a new trend that offers potential for differentiated and customizable products for customers. - **Humorous Fashion Items:** Humorous fashion pieces like the Oh Deer Headband are a growing trend that offers an opportunity for brands to introduce whimsical items that are fun and light-hearted to appeal to young, trendy demographics. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion Accessories:** Designing and creating offbeat headbands like the Oh Deer Headband can be a profitable opportunity for Accessories companies in the fashion industry adding playful styles that stand out from the pack. - **DIY / Craft:** Crafting and selling DIY headbands featuring embellishments for fasion enthusiasts is a new market opportunity for savvy and skilled artisans to sell as custom-made items. - **E-commerce:** Running an online marketplace that is focused on customizable, humorous accessories such as the Oh Deer Headband can be a profitable opportunity for online retailers seeking to attract and retain a larger customer base. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Avant-Garde Radish Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/radish-hat.md) - [Bread-Themed Fascinators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bread-hat.md) - [Low Light Running Headwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lumos-headband-by-on.md) - [Handcrafted Jewelry Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pretty-weird.md) - [Festive Bridal Accessory Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wedding-planning1.md) - [Striking Artisan Cheese Hats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rinds-roses-collection.md) - [Charming Hair Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clementine-grove.md) - [Game Avatar-Inspired Headbands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plumbob.md) - [Edgy Winter Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/naked-wolfe-bambi-boot.md)
