The funniest thing about these underpants for your hands might be their description: “Hundreds of uses! Stylish for any occasion." Maybe not all occasions though — they’re probably not appropriate for a nice dinner out or, say, a job interview. However, one reviewer says they help with sweaty hands, which indeed does seem useful.

This odd nightlight aims to answer the question of what wakes you up first, the chicken or the egg? An illuminated egg glows from a chicken’s behind in this lamp, where again, the description of the product is particularly odd: “Especially suitable for those people who are afraid of the dark.”

These gloves look silly, but the use of LED lights can help you “focus on your work”, according to the description. It turns out reviewers find them quite handy (pun intended) when doing odd jobs in the dark. They also look like something a villain would wear in a movie.
