cat hand towel, angry mama microwave cleaner, lego bouquet, cake face mask
Where the wild things are? Amazon — you've just gotta do a little digging. (Amazon)

Everyone knows you can get practically anything you're looking for on Amazon. But you can also get some of the most random things that you most certainly were not looking for — and once you've found them, you need them! Such is the case with the following 60+ quirky items (cereal candle or sushi socks, anyone?). And usually, even the craziest-looking among them — including pug eyes, unicorn heads for squirrels and toast-shaped hand warmers — have a purpose other than being weird. They provide clever life hacks, make things more comfortable or offer entertainment. And they start at just $6. These picks are just the tip of the iceberg. The depths of Amazon are truly endless.

Is that caked-on tomato sauce that's all over your microwave getting you down? Don't fret: The Angry Mama is here to help clean it off in a snap. Just fill her with vinegar and water, pop her into the microwave and heat for 5-8 minutes. That's it! While she's in there, the vents in her hair will release a mist of the water-vinegar mixture, which helps soften and release all of that food buildup. Then, you can simply wipe everything down, no harsh chemicals or intense scrubbing required!

$9 at Amazon

One brave customer put Mama to the real test: cleaning a microwave that had been neglected for years. The verdict? "Angry Mama is amazing!" they exclaimed. "I just tried this for the first time on my dad's microwave. As you can imagine a bachelor microwave to look like, it was messy. I did exactly as directed and it was an easy clean afterward! This is a life-changer for us! It has been years since his microwave had been cleaned and I was able to wipe the stuck-on food right off."

Now you can have your cake and slather it all over your face, too! This Funfetti-inspired mask is just as fun as it is effective: The colorful "sprinkles" make it look like a tub of frosting, and the birthday cake scent might just tempt you to take a bite. But you'll want to avoid eating this hydrating formula and instead feed it to your skin twice a week for a more refreshed, nourished complexion. It contains skin-care superheroes like hyaluronic acid, glacier water and squalane to plump and moisturize. 

$19 at Amazon

"So smooth, so luxurious," swooned a cake cosmetics convert. "It's a real treat. Skin is smooth and glowing. Friends and family compliment the healthy look, and I'm over 60 years old!"

$34 at Amazon

"I bought this after seeing it on TikTok and let me tell you … It is soooooo much fun!" proclaimed a pleased parent.

Bye-bye, (peanut) buttah fingers! This extra-long knife was specifically designed to scoop every last bit of your favorite condiment from the jar without you having to get your knuckles sticky. Its curved end will reach into those corners, and the stainless steel blade helps you stir up natural peanut butters that tend to separate. And, yes, it's even long enough to fit those economy-size tubs for the biggest PB lovers among us. 

$13 at Amazon

"It does EXACTLY what it says and does it well," wrote a nut butter buff. "The PB-Jife is exactly the perfect length for a wide variety of jars ... . The blade and handle connection were the point of biggest concern for me when buying it, but this thing is solid ... the construction is flawless ... It’s the only tool we use now for PB-style spreads and it allows my kiddos to make their own sandwiches while staying clean ... 100% recommend, especially for anyone needing assistance with large jars and natural PB stirring, and may have weaker hand strength (I also have arthritis in my hands, and being able to use this to cut through the PB while stirring with less hand strength than a regular knife was awesome). You can pry my PB-Jife from my cold, dead hands."

$25 at Amazon

A creative shopper wrote, "These markers work very well for what I wanted to use them for, which was writing notes on my hand that last at least a day, even with frequent hand washing.

Who knew (with a 'k')?

$7 at Amazon

"Best book EVER!!! My daughter and I both get a kick out of this book. I have a bit of a warped sense of humor, so I love all the different odds and ends when it comes to good literature and creativity, and this does an amazing job of bringing different and interesting words into the alphabet rather then your boring norm 'A is for apple'!" wrote a reviewer.

Who's that man in shades? It's Al ... Al Dente, and he wants to make sure your pasta is the perfect texture.

Then ... mangia!

$25 at Amazon

"I loved Al so much, I sent one to each of my sisters. Not only is he whimsical, he’s fairly accurate. I’m making excuses to make pasta just so I can hear the tunes," wrote one Mack Aroni (we're guessing).

This silly cereal bowl with spoon is actually a scented candle, but it looks so realistic. It uses mostly soy wax but also vegetable wax and beeswax, and each bowl is a handmade work of art.

No, you're not hallucinating: this is a night-light cleverly disguised to look like a small mushroom garden. It has three shrooms that light up in blue, yellow and white. LED bulb-age means they use very little power, and the intensity of their light will vary throughout the day. They're also shatter-resistant.

$6 at Amazon

"I love this little mushroom night light! I have had it for a while now and it’s so adorable and colorful! For the price it’s insanely great quality. It detects light and only comes on when it’s dark and it has a slow fade from one color to the next. I have it plugged in 24/7," said one "fun guy."

There's a reason this bar of (not) soap has thousands of five-star ratings. It's actually made of stainless steel, but its job is not to clean; it's to deodorize your hands after you touch pretty much anything, from fish to onions to pets. How does it work? Well, it's science! The molecules in the steel bind with the sulfur molecules on your hands, and the odor is transferred to the steel.

$10 at Amazon

"I was browsing through Amazon and saw these and immediately put these in my cart for my sister. This sums up our relationship perfectly. If you look at these and a specific person comes to your mind, buy it and give it to them even if there's no holiday or birthday. Seriously! Cannot recommend enough!!! Also, as a bonus, my sister said that the quality of the actual bandaid is really good," wrote a discerning shopper.

How lazy can you get? This lazy! These horizontal spectacles are basically glasses designed for use while you're lying down! You can tilt the lenses to a 90-degree angle so you don't have to crane your neck while watching TV or hold a book over your head while reading. Just lie flat on your back and hold, say, a tablet or book normally, and you can view it through the horizontal lenses.

$12 at Amazon

This book of 'frightfully awful' jokes that everyone's dad most certainly busted out at one point or another is an Amazon favorite — and even makes a great gift for your dad because he might need more material! 'There's a new type of broom out — it's sweeping the nation,' is just the tip of the iceberg, we assure you.

$11 at Amazon

Be careful what you wish for, though, notes one good-natured reviewer: "I purchased this for Father's Day and my dad just can't get enough. He has sent me a joke every day since."

Can't live with him, can't live without him? Have it both ways, then. This will let you cozy up in his arms whenever you want ... and he doesn't snore! We're not sure why he insists on wearing his button-down shirt to sleep but, all in all, he's a pleasant bedmate, so we can't complain. And because he's a cotton blend with feather fill, you can machine-wash him.

$35 at Amazon

One fan wrote, "I love my boyfriend pillow! It's like having your real boyfriend in bed with you minus the annoying snoring and constant farts. I feel protected when I put the arm around me. It's a comforting feeling. I sleep better knowing I am loved."
