It can be hard to sift through all of the products on Amazon to find something new that's actually worth your time and money — unless you're a shopping writer and it's your actual job. That's where I come in. If you feel like you've seen it all, this list is packed with unique, interesting, and strange products you probably haven't seen before — but you will be totally happy you've found them.
