I’m all for an aesthetic kitchen with matching utensils and a minimalist spoon rest, but sometimes you just need a fun platypus-shaped spatula to add a little joy to your life. There’s no need to track down quirky products like this spatula, because I’m a shopping editor and these weird things with near-perfect Amazon reviews are so effing cool.

Don’t worry — it’s not all animal-shaped kitchen utensils on this list. (Although there is a manatee-shaped tea infuser that’s worth grabbing.) Instead, I searched for the quirkiest products that will fit into your unique home decor, skincare routine, cleaning closet, and more. I even found a foldable organizer to help out your car and a handy splash-proof electric lighter for every trendy candle you own.

Trust me — there’s something on this list for wherever you could use a cool product that’s a bit unique.

01

This smiley sponge set that won’t get grimy

These adorable sponges are quick-drying and completely mold-, stain-, and odor-resistant, so they won’t get all smelly and grimy after dishes. Plus, utensils and cutlery fits in the little smiley face cutouts for quick cleaning, and you can put your fingers through the eyes for extra grip. Plus, these scrubbers are compact enough to fit next to any kitchen sink or in the tiniest cleaning closets.

02

A cozy beanie that has a handy flashlight in the front

Yes — this beanie has a removable, rechargeable LED flashlight with three brightness settings built right in, so there’s no need to hold a flashlight on a late-night run. The rest of this beanie is just like your usual cold-weather go-to with a cozy knit design that’s machine-washable.

03

A motion-sensor toilet light for a hidden bathroom nightlight

This motion-sensor LED light clips right onto the side of your toilet for a unique bathroom nightlight. It illuminates the inside of the bowl and has dimmer settings and motion activation. There are also 16 color options (that you can rotate) for a bit of fun lighting in the bathroom.

04

This comfortable shaving apron for easy clean-up

This beard apron fits just like you’re at the hairdresser, but you can actually use your arms. The bottom sticks to your bathroom mirror with sturdy suction cups to make a bowl-like shape that catches stray hairs, and they’ll slide right off the surface into the trashcan. So, this durable apron makes shaving way less messy than it usually is.

05

This little fork to put onto your go-to jar of olives

Scooping out pickles for a charcuterie board is way easier with this little condiment fork. It has three stainless steel prongs that are long enough to reach that last olive at the bottom of the jar. And there’s no need to go digging through a drawer for it — it has secure bands so you can store this handy fork on the side of the jar.

06

These car vent clips for handy sauce storage

Hold onto your go-to sauces when you’re eating in the car with this compact dip clip. Stick it right onto the air vent in your car, and your honey mustard will be at the perfect dipping height. It fits a bunch of sauce sizes, and there’s also a washable cup if you want to squeeze in a ketchup packet.

07

This scent-absorbing bar that looks nice in your kitchen

Simply reach for this scent-absorbing bar to take care of food smells on your hands after you chop up pungent vegetables. (I’m looking at you, garlic).

08

A wearable reading light that won’t get in the way

This necklace reading light works way better than anything that clips onto your book because it won’t get in the way of your page turning or weigh down your magazine.

Plus, they’re exfoliating, which is a benefit you don’t get from typical rounds.

13

This portable & absorbent towel that’s super soft

The bowls cans also go in the fridge if you want them a little less chilled for dips, like salsa, or cereal.

27

A rechargeable hand warmer with 3 heat settings
