39 Adorably Weird Products You'll Actually Use A Lot

Dare you not to look at this very cute but anxious pumpkin night-light and not go, "Same."

1. A lil' polar bear hydrating eye stick for some sweet, sweet relief when you wake up with puffy, aching eyes. This formula is blended with Iceland glacial water to help tighten skin and tackle dark circles so you look and feel more ~refreshed~.

Promising review: "I have always had serious dark circles and bags under my eyes and this has really changed this for me. The results are incredible. The puffiness is gone. The dark circles are hardly noticeable. My sensitive skin has not broken out. I never write reviews, but this was so good that I had to write a review. This actually works." —Ben

2. Death Wish Instant Coffee Packets so downright (dare I say, DANGEROUSLY) delicious that even the biggest coffee snobs you know might trade in their precious pour-overs. That is, if they can handle the 300mg of caffeine per cup 👀. 

Check out a TikTok of the Deathwish Instant Coffee in action. (Also I read at least one review of someone PUTTING THIS IN THEIR MORNING SMOOTHIE, some of you are WILD.) 

Death Wish Coffee is a small business that specializes in coffee pods, grounds, whole beans, and more. 

Promising review: "So let me start by saying that this coffee is delicious and works if you’re someone like me who wants to stay awake. I work night shifts at a hospital, and in the mornings, when I get home, I’m quite tired and sleepy. I made myself a cup of coffee and waited for it to work. Now let me tell y’all!!! This coffee kept me awake for hours!! BOY, WAS I WOWED INDEED … best believe I went ahead and ordered three more boxes. This is now my to-go coffee if I need a BOOST!!!!!! If you like coffee and want to stay awake, then BUY THIS COFFEE!!! I’m happy I no longer have to take naps to get re-energized." —nancy

4. A reusable silicone cactus dryer ball that pet owners especially love because it catches hair like nobody's business. These lil' desert bubs also help soften fabric, reduce wrinkles, *and* save drying time, so they're putting all the decorative but useless succulents in your home to shame.

Promising review: "This is my first time using these, and I'm already in love! I saw someone say these can catch hair but I didn't know if these would really catch hair until I used them. They even captured cat hair, which is life-changing for me! 😄😻" —E & D

5. A pair of "floating" air conduction headphones perfect for anyone whose earbuds slip out when they get sweaty — these are designed to stay put by settling just over your ear instead of inside it. Basically all the convenience and privacy of earbuds, without the discomfort of physically putting them in your ears.

It picks up calls just as well as any other pair, and is designed so the sound isn't audible to anyone else! 

Purity is a small business that specializes in tech products and accessories. 

Promising review: "I've tried soooo many different types of earbuds over the years with no success. But these Purity open-air headphones are the first pair I've ever tried that actually fit well, don't hurt, and sound great! So, after many years of trying, I've FINALLY found the right ones for my ears!! Woohoo! They are comfortable, lightweight, have great sound clarity, are easy to operate, have great battery life, and people can hear me clearly when I talk on the phone with them.  I definitely recommend these, especially if regular in-ear buds don't work for you either." —CPic

Promising review: "What a great gift for a crime/forensic LEO (unless they are sick of seeing them) or a TV show aficionado of crime. I am in the second category, as well as a crime fiction author. Not only does it hold items like a phone, wallet items, and change, you can use it for a Kindle separately." —Claire O'Sullivan

7. A phone umbrella you can suction to the back for *instant* shade when you're trying to text in the rain or snow🫠.

Promising review: "This little umbrella is small but mighty. When shopping there’s a variety of color and pattern options available. The umbrella is made of durable water resistant material. The package comes with a suction cup to attach to the back of your phone and the umbrella slides right into the slot on the suction cup. I love that it has the suction cup attachment instead of a sticker- it allows you to use the umbrella when needed and remove it when you don’t need it." —Rachel Grace

9. A ridiculously charming octopus-shaped blackhead remover you can use to gently scrub as part of your skin routine or in the shower to remove excess sebum to exfoliate pores and pull out blackheads, whiteheads, and other miscellaneous gunk from the day that you'd rather evict.

10. A mini skull cake pan reviewers are so obsessed with that they are unrepentantly using to make spooky treats all year long. TikTokers and Amazon reviewers love it for making everything from skull cakes to skull pizza bombs, stuffed chicken sandwiches, cornbread, and rice balls.

Promising review: "This is a great pan. It's made out of cast aluminum and is surprisingly heavy but very easy to use. Our muffins turned out great and popped right out, and the pan is very easy to clean. It's oven-safe up to 400 degrees. You do have to be careful not to scratch the nonstick surface." —LaffingKat

11. An absurdly adorable mushroom kitchen timer so you can go full cottagecore with the aesthetic when you're baking muffins on a cozy Sunday afternoon. 

This winds up and times up to 60 minutes, ending in a loud buzzer. Reviewers also use it to help time themselves with work tasks and studying. 

Promising review: "This is whimsical and fun, my kids love it. I tell them their dinner comes from a fairy mushroom forest. 😋 Works great, keeps my little monsters in line — 'Dad, the mushroom went off.' Love it." —Vik V
