The shopping writers and editors of Elite Daily aren’t afraid to admit that we spend a lot of time perusing Amazon. And during these endless scroll sessions, we’ve encountered products that fit into practically every category — from functional to stylish to downright weird. That last one is what this list is all about: Here you’ll find kooky things that we are absolutely loving right now. Pick them up before they hit the mainstream and sell out.

01The Most Adorable Night-Light That’s Squishy

I’m low-key in love with this axolotl night-light. It’s so stinking cute, soft and squishy (made from silicone), and it shines bright for ample nighttime illumination. The built-in battery is rechargeable via the included USB cable.

02A Fluffy Pillow That’s Giving Dinosaur Chicken Nugget

My whole family prefers chicken nuggets that are shaped like dinosaur. And this fluffy pillow pays homage to this. There are three dino creatures to pick from — including T-rex, stegosaurus, and brontosaurus — and they’re about 14 inches in size for hugging.

03A Travel Neck Pillow With Hidden Clothes Storage

I bought this neck pillow for my next trip because I refuse to travel without one (and it has a hood for extra privacy) — but also because it has hidden storage. Fill it with clothes to give you back some space in your suitcase. Is it weird? Yes, kind of. But I’m here for it, particularly because it might save you money by way of not checking a bag at the airport.

04Colorful Air Vent Clogs That Make Your Car Smell Better

Not only do these colorful clogs make your car’s interior way more fun, but each one also releases a fresh fragrance, so the space smells way better — scents like rose and lemon are included. The four clogs fit on the air vents, staying put even if you hit a bump. For this price, I’m definitely grabbing a set.

05A Cherry Lip & Cheek Tint In One

At first, it may seem a little strange to apply this cherry tint to both your lips and cheeks. But this multitasking ability will speed up your whole makeup routine — and you only need to toss one item in your bag for touch-ups. The lightweight, creamy formula is easy to blend.

06A Smiling Planter You Can Use Indoors Or Out

This resin planter has the biggest smile that makes me feel like I’m doing a good job with my plant care responsibilities — even if that’s likely not the actual case. Built-in drainage prevents overwatering, and the durable design means you can use it indoors or out.

07A French Fry & Sauce Holder That’s A Must For Your Car

I don’t think you can fully enjoy fast food in your car without this fry and sauce holder. The base fits in basically any vehicle cup holder and then it can safely hold your food as you drive. It's dishwasher safe, too.

08The Most Whimsical Drinking Glasses Shaped Like Mushrooms

These mushroom glasses make any beverage way more fun — sip cocktails, wine, or whatever your drink of choice is from them. The two glasses boast a whimsical mushroom shape, and they’re made from thick, high-quality glass.

09A Fake Security Camera That’s Kooky Yet Effective

It doesn’t matter if this dummy security camera is totally fake; it’ll likely be all you need to deter potential burglars — it’s just kooky enough to work. It boasts a flashing red light to add to the realness factor, and it’s simple to put up using the included screws.

10Heavy Cast Iron Bookends That Lend A Hand

These decorative bookends will give you a hand — literally. Use the two hands — which are made from heavy-duty cast iron — to prop up books on a shelf, preventing them from falling over. They’re functional and stylish.

11A Moisturizing Balm That’s A Multi-Tasker

What do your lips, elbows, and cuticles all have in common? They can get hydrated to the max with this moisturizing balm that’s formulated with squalane and amino acids to achieve this. Best yet, the results will last a long time.

12A Diffuser Pen That Smells Like Fresh-Baked Cookies

“Scented pens aren't that kooky,” explains Lauren Beach, a shopping editor at Elite Daily. However, she adds, “This is the first one I've seen that smells like fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies.” The diffuser pen releases the aroma as you jot down your thoughts, and two ink refills are included to last a while.

13Cute Cat Magnets That Double As Hanging Hooks

Karen Belz, a shopping editor at Elite Daily, explains that these cat magnets are surprisingly strong, “incredibly cute, and serve as a great way to unconventionally store trinkets,” since the tails can be shaped into hooks. Four come in the set, making each one just a few bucks.

14A Vanilla Candle That Looks Exactly Like A Bowl Of Cereal

A bowl of cereal? Nope, it’s actually a cool three-wick candle that looks shockingly realistic — like a bowl of the best marshmallow-filled cereal. The soy wax gives off a vanilla scent that’s positively delicious.

15A Gigantic Ravioli Noodle That’s Actually A Spoon Rest

This gigantic ravioli noodle is actually a functional spoon rest. It’s big enough to serve as a spot for two utensils when they’re not in use, and it’s made from food-grade silicone that’s dishwasher safe.

16Collagen-Infused Wrinkle Patches That Are Comfy To Wear

Infused with collagen to boost skin elasticity and provide nourishment, these wrinkle patches are designed for your forehead. “These feel really good on, and unlike similar products, don't need to be worn overnight,” explains Karen Belz, a shopping editor at Elite Daily. She plans on chilling them before wearing them next. Twenty come in a pack.

17A Matcha Face Mask Designed To Reduce Inflammation

This matcha almond milk mask sounds like a go-to cafe order. But it’s actually designed for your face — it contains actual matcha and almond milk to reduce inflammation, brighten your complexion, and make your skin more radiant — all for less than $5. Other versions can be found in the listing.

18A Butterfly Book Box With Hidden Storage

This decorative book box is covered in butterflies, but what’s kooky is that it actually has secret storage — open the cover to reveal the hidden compartment, which can hold anything you want (from remote controls to valuables like jewelry).

19Cat Paper Clips That Make Your Work Day More Fun

Bored at work or school? Jen Fiegel, a shopping editor at Elite Daily, says these cat-shaped paper clips are “the best upgrade to planners and journals IMO.” The 100 clips come in a handy storage tin so you won’t lose track of them.

21Mini Tea Cups That Rest On Door Hinges

Lauren Beach, a shopping editor at Elite Daily, calls these miniature tea cups “such an unexpected way to add interest to a room.” And no, they’re not for sipping — each one has a magnetic design, allowing you to position it on your door hinges.

22A Handy Tool That Combines A Cutting Board With Scissors

“This is, without a doubt, my favorite and most-used kitchen gadget,” shares Karen Belz, a shopping editor at Elite Daily, referring to this tool that combines scissors and a cutting board.
