The MZOO sleep mask is a must-have for sensitive sleepers and weary travelers who jolt awake the moment a single ray of light invades their place of slumber.

5. A fragrant spray that helps stop cats from scratching furniture

We love it when a product’s name says exactly what it does. Stop the Scratch is a unique spray that helps deter your cat from scratching furniture, floors, and fabrics. Made from naturally derived ingredients like rosemary oil and lemongrass, the combination of aromas is pleasant for humans but will deter cats and kittens from destroying property.

8. This ultra-flexible garden hose that makes watering less of a hassle

With the name Flexzilla, it sounds like it could be a circus performer, but it is actually a garden hose. The bright ZillaGreen color isn’t the only feature that makes it stand out as one of the best garden hoses you can buy. This customer-favorite hose is extremely flexible, and thanks to its unique SwivelGrip, the hose and grip rotate independently, making connections quick and easy.

Built-in full-color night vision works to identify over 6,000 bird species anytime day or night. Squirrels are the only ones that don’t appreciate this smart feeder. Birdfy AI can identify these pesky critters and allows you to drive them away using the flashlight feature, a siren, or even shouting at them through the microphone.

Adding to the ways this smart feeder wows are the included solar panel to recharge the camera, real-time app notifications when your feeder has a visitor, and the ability to be pole, tree, or wall mounted. This modern marvel is worth tweeting about.

In fact, our cat subjects gave it two paws up when we tested it. This large, corrugated cardboard scratcher doubles as a cat lounger and looks like a cool piece of furniture. It’s durable and is a great option for heavier cats due to its larger width. You can also extend its life by flipping it over to the other side. Your cats will agree that this product is pretty purrfect.

16. This solar light and outdoor dog bag dispenser combo that makes cleaning backyard messes easier

There are lots of things that go better together, but we never would have thought to pair an outdoor solar light and a poop bag dispenser. This combination is pure brilliance.

Customers say it is easy to maintain a comfortable, safe grip. While these claws may give your family and guests nightmares, at least they will have enjoyed a perfectly shredded meal.

19. Lazy reader glasses that allow you to read lying down

The concept behind lazy reader glasses is that you can lay flat on your back and easily see your book or tablet without having to awkwardly twist and strain. For those who love reading in bed or lounging on the couch, the glasses use a glass prism design that turns your view to a downward 90-degree angle, eliminating the need for head movement. These innovative frames can be worn alone, or you can wear them over your prescription glasses. Lazy readers will help you say goodbye to neck cramps and eye strain while you enjoy watching TV or reading while lying down.

Green Gobbler is a plumbing superhero. He bounces from drain to drain gobbling up clogs. It’s a gross job, but he is designed to do it. The extra-long plastic tool has mini prongs that latch onto whatever is blocking the drain. It is safe to use with sinks, bathtubs, and showers. Another great feature is that it can either be reused or disposed of depending on the size and messiness of the clog. A word of advice: skip over the customer review videos if you have a weak stomach.

22. A buttery soft giant baguette-shaped pillow

My family received this hysterical pillow as a gift. It’s a running joke about how much we love bread. While it was meant to be a silly gag gift, it is totally useful and looks realistic. The best part is unwrapping it. It comes in a vacuum-sealed plastic bag and as soon as you cut it open, the pillow starts rising like a real loaf of bread. That’s either brilliant marketing or a cool coincidence. The material is buttery soft and the 40-inch loaf is plush and great for resting on. You’ll have to remind yourself it’s for sleeping–not eating.

23. This manatee-shaped silicone tea infuser for perfectly-brewed tea

The Fred company offers a large selection of wacky but useful products, including this super fun manatea tea infuser. It’s made from food-safe BPA-free silicone and is microwave-safe.

No joke, there are 50 bandages per box and four different hot dog styles. The bandages are individually wrapped, sterile, and latex-free. They also have an absorbent non-stick pad so they won’t stick to wounds. When it’s time for a bandage, you’ll find yourself asking, “Ketchup or mustard?”

25. This Dracula-shaped garlic crusher

Meet Gracula, the garlic-crushing vampire. This comical kitchen helper features a unique design that is easy to use. Add your garlic cloves to Gracula’s body, attach his head, and twist. Voila, minced garlic. You can control how coarse, or fine, by the number of twists you make. Users love that it keeps their hands odor-free. In addition to garlic, this tool can crush ginger, nuts, and herbs. Gracula is hand-wash only and he prefers it if you keep him out of the sunlight.

26. A cult-favorite pet hair roller that quickly removes unruly hair

When pet hair becomes overwhelming and you need a quick-fix solution, grab yourself a ChomChom. We tested it and confirmed that it’s highly effective at pulling up pet hair from everyday surfaces like furniture and clothing. The simple design makes it easy for anyone in the family to use. Roll it back and forth and watch hair disappear like magic! When it's ready to empty, push the button and wipe out the storage compartment.

27. A card game where kittens explode and zombies wreak havoc

You may be familiar with the award-winning Russian roulette card game Exploding Kittens. This fast-paced, quirky game has a simple, yet genius formula. Each player draws cards, takes actions as instructed, and waits to see which unlucky player will draw the Exploding Kitten card. Once blown up, you are out of the game. Or are you?
