60 Insanely Weird Things Under $25 That Amazon Reviewers Say Work *So* Well

— Amazon

Channeling your inner weirdo is a fun way to change up the monotony of everyday life — the only catch is that being too weird might not go over well when you’re out in the world. That’s why I’ve made a deal with myself: when it comes time to letting my inner freak flag fly, I head over to Amazon and grab some of the insanely weird things they have on sale.

That way, I can indulge my inner weirdo without getting too strange, and still wind up with some cool stuff. And not only do reviewers say all the items you’ll find below work so well, but each thing is also $25 or less. So feel free to add more than a few items to your cart. Trust me — your inner weird will thank me.

Amazon

Hiking, snowboarding, snorkeling — this mount is a clever way to film hands-free video using your GoPro during all sorts of activities. It’s fully adjustable, making it easy to customize the fit however you like. And if you don’t own a GoPro? Not a problem, as it’s still compatible with most action cameras.

One Reviewer Wrote: “I have been using this mount a lot and it’s great. I have a wider chest and it still holds up great with a lot more room left if needed. It’s mainly used for MTB but I have taken it underwater a couple of times and works just as good.” — MC

This removable wallpaper that transforms walls into whiteboards

Kassa Large Whiteboard Wall Sticker Roll

Installation is as easy as pressing it into place the same way you would with a giant sticker — and you can easily trim it to fit smaller spaces as needed. Each order includes three markers to get you started.

One Reviewer Wrote: “Good dry erase material. It is the sturdiness of wrapping paper. We adhered it to poster board which works great. Gives it a little sturdiness and backing. We needed it to create a custom dry erase board in an office that could be pinned up on the wall and easily moved. Works perfectly for that application.” — Margaret Moody

The kitty-shaped ladle that stands upright on its own

Katie Cat Soup Ladle by OTOTO

Amazon

Unlike some ladles, this one features four small feet on the bottom that allow you to stand it upright inside your pot — no need to dirty up a spoon rest. And if you’re worried about it melting? Don’t be, as the tough polypropylene material is designed to withstand high temperatures.

One Reviewer Wrote: “This Black Cat ladle makes me laugh while getting dinner served! It’s sturdy, has ‘4 feet on the bottom’ to make it able to stand up instead of sliding down into the serving bowl. We love it!” — Cherie Whalen-Strong

One Reviewer Wrote: “This product is genius. I used it on a Costco sized bottle of body wash and it was the first time I felt I got every last drop. It held the bottle on it's top without a wobble and the pull out stopper worked like a charm with no leaking. It will fit 3 different sizes of openings. Am going to gift one to a friend.” — Diane in Las Vegas

I would hide them for just me if I needed to! Several test slices on the wrist of the glove with a knife that can shave hair resulted in no damage to the glove.” — Daniel J.

A spray that transforms toilet paper into a wet wipe

Pristine Toilet Paper Spray

Flushing wet wipes can damage your septic system. Instead, give your toilet paper a few spritzes with this spray before wiping.

They tend to be soft and not hold together as well as meat does, plus the veggies compound the problem. But with this holder, they are actually staying together so I can eat them! I like that it is adjustable to the height of the bun, and the walls of the holder grip everything well.” — Cheleste
