Amazon has certainly made online ordering substantially easier. These days, if we run out of shampoo or need to order a quick gift for a birthday we forgot, we can shop from our smartphones in mere minutes. 

This isn't always helpful for those trying to learn how to save money shopping, but no one can deny its unbelievable convenience.  

Sometimes our searches may take us in some interesting directions, making us wonder if there's anything Amazon won't sell (hint: it's not much). 

While these items are definitely weird, they also show that there really is something for everyone.

Archie McPhee Handi Squirrel

Price: $8.43

Nothing says you know how to manage money better than investing in a set of five squirrel finger puppets. 

Best used for terrorizing pets and confusing toddlers, this set of five finger-puppet pieces includes four paws and a head, transforming your hand into an adorable (?) squirrel.

As one reviewer suggests, you won't be disappointed, and the little ones in your life will go nuts for this.

Gilbins Plush Ultra-Soft Fleece Taco Blanket

Price: $29.95

You may have heard of the burrito blanket, a giant, round, fuzzy blanket that resembles a flour tortilla. Gilbin took that concept one step further and designed a sleeping bag blanket in the shape of a taco. Brilliant.

To be fair, this ultra-soft fleece blanket would make a wonderful gift for someone who loves both tacos and naps (which is many of us). The price tag seems a bit steep, but one cannot put a price on comfort or style.

Archie Mcphee Instant Underpants

Price: $6.54

We won't even get into all the reasons you might need a pair of emergency underpants. But with this product, you simply add water and wait for your backup briefs to magically appear. 

At about $7 each, this item costs less than most actual underpants. 

 

LydeLog Nicolas Cage Pillow Covers

Price: $13.99

Do you love sequins? Do you adore actor Nicholas Cage? 

When opening the package, the recipient may just think they've received a bold, sequined decorative pillow. But when they move their hand over the sequins, Nicholas Cage's face is slowly revealed. Amazing.

It's important to know that the cover does not come with an actual pillow. This seems to be a point of contention in the comments.

Cat Toilet Paper Holder

Price: $17.23

This brand has blessed us with the option of purchasing a cat butt tissue holder. This black and white tuxedo kitty holds one standard square-shaped tissue holder and can fit just about anywhere a real cat can.

If you have a cold or the flu, you know there's nothing better than a sweet feline smirking at you while you pull tissues out of its rear … at least, that's what this item seems to want you to believe. 

Pet Butler Prank Gift Box

Price: $9.99

When the recipient of this quirky item tears off the gift wrap, they'll think they're getting a brand new way for their pet to hate them. In reality, this is merely a gag box meant to prank the animal lover in your life. Even though it's always good to try to keep more cash in your wallet, sometimes prank gifts are a fun splurge. 

MoldFun 2-Pack Handgun and Bullet Ice Cube Trays Set

Price: $9.99

This two-pack of handgun and bullet ice cube trays will definitely ensure you never have a boring party again. 

Perfect for plopping into whiskey drinks, this $9.99 set will definitely be a real conversation starter.

Ambesonne Humor Shower Curtain

Price: $51.99

Of course, you want this shower curtain. Why wouldn't you want this shower curtain?

You can have guests over and, if they're properly hydrated, ensure they never come over again.

Ambesonne, the brand that birthed this therapy topic, also offers shower curtains adorned with lovely floral patterns, classic raindrop motifs, and even beach scenes. But don't you want this one?

Calary Useless Box

Price: $14.95

The Calary Useless Box is simple. You flip the switch to open the wooden box, and a mechanical arm emerges to poke the switch back and shut the wooden box.

Maybe you've seen little novelties like this. They're fun little gags to keep on your desk at work. But they all have a problem: They're not earthquake-resistant. Calary's, thankfully, is.
