Being normal is overrated — and who defines what "normal" is, anyway? If you ask me, being a weirdo is where it's at. Not only does it give you the freedom to express yourself, but you can deck out your home with tons of weird Amazon products without caring what people think. (And IMHO, you should never care what people think.) The trick, however, is to find stuff that's just as clever as it is fun — that's where Amazon comes in.
The sky is the limit when it comes to all the shockingly clever — yet delightfully weird — products that you can find on Amazon. With that in mind, make sure you check out the lobster claw oven mitts on this list. They're made of cotton and sure to prompt your friends to do a double take, and you can even use them in your next impromptu lobster impression. And if that isn't enough, there's also an egg separator shaped like a cute frog, a toasty burrito-style blanket, and even a night light shaped like a mushroom.
But why waste time searching for these weird, yet clever Amazon products yourself? Keep scrolling for some of my weirdest favorites — and definitely check out that mushroom night light.
