It’s Wild That These 41 Genius Products On Amazon Are Under-The-Radar

Amazon

You can call it vanity, but I take a little bit of pride in being the first person in my group of friends to discover an awesome product that hasn't really hit the mainstream yet. Remember Yeti tumblers? I had it first. Those wool shoes you see all over Facebook? Yep, first to the finish line on those ones too. And don't get me started on all the genius under-the-radar Amazon products I find just through this job alone — I could write an encyclopedia on it all and still need room for more.

Alas, writing an encyclopedia sounds hard, whereas making this slideshow is presumably much easier, and with 90 percent more color photos. From a set of bamboo dishcloths that are so absorbent that they're able to soak up oil, to an LED makeup light that requires zero installation and can be taken anywhere, these are all clever products on Amazon that none of your friends would ever realize they need — until they see you sporting immaculately-winged eyeliner that you achieved using the eyeliner stamp on this list.

Don't be surprised if you see your friends picking up a few of these products after they've seen you use them — but always remind them you got there first.

01

Most travel pillows are just that: pillows.

A Set Of Shaker Bottles With A Built-In Storage Compartment

Most shaker bottles don't come with their own built-in storage compartment, which means you're stuck having to carry around a separate container of snacks or protein mix — but with this shaker bottle set, you get two shaker bottles that have built-in storage compartments at the bottom. And as an added bonus, the lid on these bottles also lock in place to prevent any accidental spills from happening.
