40 Fascinating Products On Amazon You've Never Seen Before

By Lisa Fogarty

Who doesn't get excited by new and novel products? When you shop as often on Amazon as I do, you can get used to seeing the same items time and time again (usually because they're highly -ated and work well). But these fascinating products on Amazon you've never seen before are completely different from the rest — they're innovative products that are about to become your new favorites.

Smart brands are constantly updating their lineup to solve problems that customers have — and that can't be fixed by other gadgets and tools on the market. This list of genius products provides solid examples of that type of thinking and innovation.

Maybe you've always wondered if there's a better way to spread cold butter on toast so that your bread doesn't fall apart — there's a tool here for that. Perhaps you're tired of replacing fridge liners after they become soaked by spilled milk — there's a multi-tasking solution for that. And have you ever noticed how impossible it is to slice grapes or cherry tomatoes without losing all of their juicy goodness? The makers of a whip-smart grape slicer on this list took note of that problem.

For every household, tech, or beauty problem, there's a solution — and you'll find these fascinating, unknown products are here to pick up some of that slack.
