I am co-hosting a fun link up, Memories Captured, with Galit Breen of These Little Waves this week, from December 5-9. Link up and you have a chance to win a 16 x 20 Canvas Press photo print! Link up here now!
Do you ever see a product online or an informercial and go, What. The. %&$*.
Then proceed to laugh hysterically and forward the video and/ or website to your nearest and dearest.
What, just me?
I thought since it’s the holiday season, I’d offer you a different kind of gift list. That of the the 10 weirdest (or worst, depending on how you see it) products.
1. The URO Club
I can’t even keep my face straight writing this. The URO Club, priced at $24.95, is designed to help you relieve yourself while you’re playing golf. *SNORT* It’s designed to look like a golf club but has a built-in ‘reservoir’ so you can pee discreetly. Like this:
Yup, that’s pretty discreet. *SNORT*
2. Boyfriend Body Pillow
In case you have no one to wrap their arms around you at night, not to worry! The creepy boyfriend body pillow, only $29.95, is here to save the day!!

Someone please tell me that’s normal.
3. Kush
I don’t know about you, but I’ve never had a problem with my boobs waking me up in the middle of the night because they were falling all over each other. Not so much that I need a plastic implement like Kush, for $24.99, to make sure my breasts are where they’re supposed to be when sleeping. Or maybe it’s because I just don’t look like her:

How about just wearing a good support bra?
4. Cheers To You CD
If you’ve always wished you had a soundtrack following you around, telling you how awesome you are (because you know, the husband and children just refuse to), then just go ahead and get this, the Cheers To You CD, which has 8 “tracks of encouragement and praise with cheering applause”.
Image Source
Yeah, for $16.95, I’ll just get this and play it all day when I do the laundry, wipe poopy butts, make dinner, clean – nothing like a little motivation, right?
5. My Sneezee Armbands
The My Sneezee Armband claims to “teach your child proper sneezing and coughing etiquette” for just $14.95. It’s an armband, so your kid can sneeze and cough into his er, arm. Like so.

Here’s a thought – how about using some tissue or a hankerchief?
6. Snazzy Napper
So when you travel, you tend to nap right? And who wants to see lolling heads and drooling mouths? According to Snazzy Napper, no one! So for just $14.99 for a small one or another 10 bucks for the extra large napper, you can look like a muppet while getting some shut eye!
Image Source
Isn’t that, er, snazzy?
7. Pizza Sleeping Bag
Yes, I’d really like some giant mushrooms as pillows, why not? Why yes, I’d LOVE to sleep in a pizza! It’s not weird at all! I mean, look, how cool is this!! It’s only $300!!! To sleep in a pizza sleeping bag!
Image Source
The students who designed and are selling this – I hope you make a killing, so you can fund your education and eat lots of pizzas.
8. Wolf Urine Lure
I’m wondering whether Twilight fans, specifically those who lust after Jacob Black, might purchase this in hopes that it’d lure a wolf to their door.
Image Source
Theories, anyone?
9. Handerpants
Handerpants is, you guessed it, underpants for your hands. Wait, what? Why would your hands need pants? Well, according to Handerpants, it “prevents chafing, absorbs sweat, distracts enemies and is great for jazz hands.” I did not make that up. Recommended uses include wearing them while painting your nails, handling construction tools, cooking, cruising and this – night blogging (quote, unquote):
Image Source
Quick, go grab a pair for $11.95!! Blogging needs it!
10. Pikaru Baby Carrier Vest
Perfectly suitable if you DON’T live on planet Earth.

No, not creepy at all.
Linking up with The Good Life’s Monday Listicles. Who asked for a Christmas wish list and I made a Christmas wish-not list instead. Yes, I am a rule breaker like that.
And linking up with lovelinks #34.
What weird products have you come across? Will you buy any of the above for someone for Christmas?
</ a>
What in the world??!! HA! This is too funny. I have to tell you, I have never even heard of these things!
Runnermom-jen ‘s last awesome post..My Christmas Wish
See, I’m here to share and educate
I want the pizza sleeping bag!!
Ability to pee on the golf course. Eewwww!!!
I know, right??
Those are incredibly ridiculous! Who makes that stuff up? But who buys it? The Kush? Yeah, I’ve never had that problem either. How about a rolled up sock? This is crazy.
Rach (DonutsMama) ‘s last awesome post..Her Own Self
I know, and you know what?? This is just a FRACTION of the crazy shit that people sell!
I’m begging you – if you ever see me with one of those products….even if i pick it up out of morbid curiosity – PLEASE snatch it away immediately!
They are just too weird for words! (but make a GREAT post)
Ann ‘s last awesome post..Green Bean Casserole – Lightened Up!
Haha!! I’ll check you in to the psych ward myself if I see you picking one of these up!
The vest?? I’m DYING!!
Right??? I totally snorted when I saw that.
Yeah, I might need that Kush thing.
Julie ‘s last awesome post..Monday Meals: Fudge Drop Cookies
Haha!! Noted
Hahaha!! I can’t stop laughing at #10! I see myself wearing it with my baby and people staring at me going “gila punya perempuan” or “chee seen”.
Kiddothings ‘s last awesome post..Her Favourite Words
Hahaha!! Exactly!! Who WOULD wear that??
Forget who makes this up, I want to know who buys it!!
Kimberly ‘s last awesome post..My Husband’s Quirks
Haha, I wonder the same thing myself!!
Omgah, you totally ruined the surprise. I can’t forgive you. I got you Handerpants!
Okay, not really but I was seriously thinking about it.
elizabeth-flourishinprogress ‘s last awesome post..Monday Dare: I should probably just stop talking
Haha! If you did get them for me, I’d wear them.
Twitter: lilahbility
says:
I’ve seen the boob separator thingy advertised at the back of magazines and always wondered who has boobs big enough they need separating at night? But to each her own. Never seen the pizza sleeping bag, that’s pretty hilarious!
Amanda ‘s last awesome post..When I Look at You
I know, I just don’t get who needs boob separators!
Twitter: MissMarinaStar
says:
Ok, you can totally forward me any videos of crazy products you find online. I was laughing so hard at this post. But first, priority ship me a pair of Handerpants, all this blogging is making my hands sweat.
Miss Marina Star ‘s last awesome post..All I Want For Christmas Is…
Are you sure you don’t want them to distract enemies with?
OMG! I thought of the Pikaru Baby Carrier Vest when I read the title to this post!! Is that NOT the creepiest thing ever??
Carri ‘s last awesome post..The Glamorous Life of a Stay At Home Mom
Haha!I knew I could rely on you to know at least one of these products. That carrier is the creepiest thing, ever.
I regret to inform you that there may be a bottle of deer (not wolf) urine in with my husband’s hunting stuff. You may be needing that Kush in the later months of your pregnancy. I could use those handerpants as well, you know for the profuse hand sweating. Also have a feeling my son would totally wear them – for distracting enemies..
Coffee Lovin Mom ‘s last awesome post..Memories Captured
Then I think $11.95 for Handerpants where it’d be used by two people, is a good buy!
You did not just tell me your husband possesses wolf urine….
OMG! this is so funny, I may need that discreet golf thing so I don’t have to leave the computer chair! LOL
Do they make a female version of that pillow? seriously, my husband always hugs my pillow when he sleeps and I am not there (he’s a shift worker). when I come to bed, I snuggle into my pillow, breathe deep….and get nice manly, sweaty pit scent to send me off to dreamland. ew.
RoryBore ‘s last awesome post..Tuesday Coffee Chat – Welcome a Most Giving Guest
Haha yeah, they should sell a version of that ‘golf club’ to bloggers!
And um, thanks for sharing that pillow sharing thing.
Oh my god! These are hilarious. I have never heard of any of these! Well apart from the URO club, but I had to send it back because I tried and it doesn’t work for women.
This list should make my shopping tons easier. Hand underwear for all my bloggy buds
Stasha ‘s last awesome post..Monday Listicles
Haha! In that case, Handerpants should give me a commission from all the sales they get because I featured them!
Wouldn’t buy a single one.
Hilarious that they made it to the market place though.
Tonya ‘s last awesome post..A Hundred Hearts
I know! Who invested in them?
I am cracking up! I love the peek-a-boo carrier. Ha! And the sleeping bag. The hand underwear. This stuff is awesome and would make such funny gifts!
Hee hee! I knew you’d like them.
wait a minute… is this real or were you playing in photoshop?
So, #3 — I so need that. I swear to God, the inner part looks already wrinkled. I need something to stretch it out. I think is bc of my boobs pressing on each other.
#7 I am so buying the pizza sleeper. So cool. I even think I could wait until is done for $30 with a big tag “Made in China”.
#10 — really? why, why the need to ruin this mom’s, correction, mom’s fashion around the world. We are already feeling bad and ugly in sweatpants, now add a mini-me in-clustered face on your vest, it’s just so many types or wrong. Why? whyyyyyyyy?
Mama and the City ‘s last awesome post..A mom’s letter to Santa.
I don’t know how to use PhotoShop! I swear, these products are real (hence the links hehe).
The Pikaru carrier? Freaks. Me. Out.
1) Handerpants is the best name of anything EVER. I am going to say it all day long.
2) That woman with the baby looks like she’s in a scene from Alien.
3) I need a snazzy napper. Wait. Is sleeping with your mouth open and drooling in public more or less embarrassing than wearing the snazzy napper? Because the answer might change things.
Mommy Shorts ‘s last awesome post..Comment Competition: WORST GIFT EVER
Haha! Handerpants, handerpants, handerpants!
I prefer to sleep in public with mouth open and drooling than be caught dead in the snazzy napper. You?
Twitter: mommyslounge
says:
ROTFLMAO!!! Seriously. Funny stuff girl. I needed a good laugh. Thanks!
Janice ‘s last awesome post..Christmas Wishes
The pleasure is mine!
Where in the world did you find those products, Alison? HAHAHAHAHA Oh my gosh, I couldn’t even begin to understand how they got produced in the first place. I’m speechless here. The golf-potty-pants thingy? Wow, like really?? So into a game that you couldn’t even take 3 seconds to take a leak? And that breasts support?? HAHAHAHA OM effin Gawd!!!!
Sweaty ‘s last awesome post..Memories Captured
The Internet is a weird and wonderful place, Sweaty!
Some of these are just too much! I had never heard of any of these!
Barbara ‘s last awesome post..To snip or not to snip
They’re pretty ridiculous, aren’t they?
Thanks for creeping me out! Actually I’ve heard of a few of these, but it’s unbelievable people actually buy them!
Haha, you’re welcome!
Hee! Love this, girl!
Galit Breen ‘s last awesome post..Dancing in the Snow
Hee hee! Thank you!
Twitter: csiracusa
says:
Oh my god. So awesome. Who comes up with this shit? And WHY??? Great list. I will probably be giggling all day.
Christine @ Quasi Agitato ‘s last awesome post..Four.
Haha, I would love to meet the geniuses behind some of these products. I giggled while researching and writing this post!
!Holy good god! All 10 are totally creepy LOL….it makes me feel less bad about the Pasta Pot I ordered….cause I really “needed” it and yet I still boil water on the stove to cook it…;)
You rocked it!!!!
Kir ‘s last awesome post..Finding my sisterhood: My Theta Mom Day
Haha, thanks Kir! Pasta pot doesn’t sound so strange next to er, Handerpants!
you rebel…I didn’t take you for a rule breaker…
so what you’re saying is I should throw my CD out?
Not a Perfect Mom ‘s last awesome post..The Ear Suck
Hahahaha! Funny girl, you.
I totally pick this as lovelinks editor’s choice. Oh, wait. Wrong linkup. Which is too bad cuz it’s wonderful.
Erica M ‘s last awesome post..lovelinks #34 is open
Hah! Good way to make me link this one up.
Okay. All of these products are crazy, but the boyfriend body pillow? Really?!?
Haha, I know, that is just weird and creepy.
Some of those products are downright creepy. The golf one is strange. How many guys do you know that are embarrassed to pee behind a tree? I don’t know any!
Jaime ‘s last awesome post..The Polar Express
Apparently buyers of the URO!!
Twitter: euregirlsandboy
says:
Oh. My. Gosh. These are so amazing – I need to share them with my husband tonight. These are just the kinds of things we like to laugh at. I think I’d seen three on your list before (not because I have them).
Katie E ‘s last awesome post..Memories Captured: My Babies
Haha, love your disclaimer!
Wow…oh wow. The golf urine thing=gross…and I wish I had a problem where I needed to put a pillow between my boobs LOL! And constant applause…would get annoying!
Haha, I don’t know ANYONE who needs a boob prop when they’re sleeping.
Twitter: kalleyc
says:
These were all just too funny. All but that last one. That one was freaky! It’s like aliens–mommy baby style. I can totally see a friend giving that as a baby shower gift.
KalleyC ‘s last awesome post..Poetry that Moves You
I know, I was totally creeped out!
That last one is horrific! How did you find all these things? Worryingly impressive! X
ali ‘s last awesome post..Doctors
Google is my best friend!
I need some Handerpants. No seriously, my fingers get so cold at work that I can’t type. Only they need to go down the fingers farther. And I want pretty colours. And I need to lose any amount of dignity I have in order to wear them
Andrea ‘s last awesome post..Memories Captured
When you do get them (and dye them pink), will you take a picture for us?
Absolutely!
Andrea ‘s last awesome post..The Santa Picture
Golf club pee thingy. Pitiful
Cheery CD. The voices in my head already do that.
Wolf Urine WHAT?
Baby carrier vest. Creepy.So.Creepy.
BUT. I actually like the pizza sleeping bag. My grandson would go nuts over that. LOL
Terri Sonoda ‘s last awesome post..Don’t do that to Santa
Haha, wait until China makes a fake one for 10 bucks, then buy it
Oh my god. I’m totally creeped out! Those are way weird.
And the kush? Yeah, not a problem here either.
Robin @ Farewell, Stranger ‘s last awesome post..Chasing Sunsets
There are thousands more products that are equally weird out there!
So I guess this means that my Christmas list is creepy?
Jessica ‘s last awesome post..This Caterpillar Likes Cupcakes
I won’t tell anyone about your Handerpants hankering.
Oh, good grief, that last one made me laugh so hard my face hurt!
Nenette ‘s last awesome post..rap session #364.
Haha glad to be of service!
Oh my, where DID you find all these things? #1 had me in stitches, but #10 really got me rolling.
Mama, Hear Me Roar ‘s last awesome post..Exploring an organic farm
The Internet, of course!!
I love all of these so very much! My only addition would be the cannabis-scented cologne I heard about on Twitter the other day. WOW!
Angie ‘s last awesome post..St. Catherine Laboure and The Miraculous Medal
Oh my!!! I bet it’s a best selling item with the teen crowd
oh. my. garage. i’m printing that, and buying many for the stupid yankee swap parties we are having. especially the handerpants. hand.er.pants.
MommaKiss ‘s last awesome post..I capture memories, baby
Hee hee!! I want to see you wear Handerpants!
OK, you can also get the handerpants ringtone.
i’m in awe.
MommaKiss ‘s last awesome post..I capture memories, baby
Get outta here!
OMG I love every single one of these. Especially the pizza one.
Sleeping in a pizza – what’s next?
A little late to the party, but OMG this is just too funny! My favorite: the pizza sleeping bag although that mushroom looks weird!
Mirjam ‘s last awesome post..Harvest
Haha! You gonna get one?
Your list is too funny, I can’t stop laughing. But seriously, inventing these things is one thing, but who is buying this stuff?
Karin @Mommy’s Paradise ‘s last awesome post..Stay like this forever, will you?
You know, that is a burning question that requires answers.
Wow…I’m not sure what to say besides wow!! I can’t imagine a fake golf club or a sneeze arm. Now the soundtrack that tells me how wonderful I am over and over, sure I’ll take a dozen of those LOL.
Audrey ‘s last awesome post..Spinach Kugel/Spinach Casserole (dairy free)
Haha! You go girl!
I may or may not be wearing underwear on my hands right now.
(Okay. You got me. I’m not.)
But I AM from planet Earth. So no babies sprout from my chest.
(Hilarious, Alison. REALLY!)
julie gardner ‘s last awesome post..Today call me well-matched
Hee hee! Thank you Julie. If I get you Handerpants for Christmas, will you still like me?
by bizarre you meant awesome, right? who wouldn’t want a golf club you can urinate in?
james ‘s last awesome post..Creative Types
Is there something about you we should know, James?
Yes those definitely all need to be shared and laughed at. Holy cow! The pizza sleeping bag could almost be cute or fun but $300! What the heck!
so what do you do with your pee then with the Eurocup?? Carry it around the rest of your game?? How do you clean it? Ewe!!!
Emmy ‘s last awesome post..How to Make a Tomato Cage Christmas Tree
Good questions, Emmy! I shall make it my mission to find out!
Excellent! Got my Christmas shopping done just from the links on this page. Thanks for the help! My hubby’s going to love the golf club pee-pee thing.
Cheryl ‘s last awesome post..Movie Quote Monday #7 Holiday Edition: You’ll Shoot Your Eye Out!
Hahaha! Golf pee-pee thing might just be the best description ever.
There’s some crazy shit in that list today, Alison! Love the urine thing – are these really real? Like really, real real?
Missy | The Literal Mom ‘s last awesome post..Finally a Reason to Love the Dog
Oh yes, they’re real. Check the links out! These things have WEBSITES of their own, dude!
These are absolutely hilarious! I’ve heard of the ‘snazzy sleeper’ before…more like the ‘crazy airplane blanket’. Honestly, the first time I ever saw an infomercial for the Snuggie, I thought it was a joke….and don’t even get me started on some of the crazy infomercials we saw in Europe!
Leslie ‘s last awesome post..{Real Parties} Christmas Cookies & Milk
Oh don’t you just love the crazy shit they sell on airlines???
OK. Great list. The urinal golf club? Disgustorating! but really, that baby carrier with the baby poking his smiling face outta mommy’s tummy —> gives me the holy creepazoids man.
No way.
Scariest thing I ever did see!
Ado ‘s last awesome post..All I Want For Christmas
I know, I was torn between being horrified and doubling over with laughter. (I did the latter)
Voting for you now. Once again: thanks for the giggle!
PS: I’m hoping to join your linky, been crazy-busy around here but hopefully…!!!
Ado ‘s last awesome post..My Husband Had Sunbeams Shooting Out of His Face, and I Got It On Camera
Oh my gosh, I’ve totally seen the pikaru in action. And it’s really weird, but really cute.
Old School/New School Mom ‘s last awesome post..A Memory
OMG someone actually BOUGHT it???
Dude, yes! Also the boob thing is out of control!
Hah! I want to know the lady who thought the carrier would be cool. And the boob thing is INSANE.
Those are all awesomely hilarious! The funniest things I’ve seen lately are… gummy bear ear buds (kind of cool, actually) and an inflatable fruitcake!
XLMIC ‘s last awesome post..Where babies come from…
Why would someone buy an inflatable fruit cake????
I love this list! totally cracked me up!
audre ‘s last awesome post..Gender Wives Tales
Glad you enjoyed it!
Alison, hilarious! I want every one of these products to give to my family as gag gifts.
Cookie’s Mom ‘s last awesome post..My beautiful neighbour
Haha I would love to see the look on people’s faces if (or when) they do!
The boyfriend pillow left me speech-less. Wow! Who would seriously buy it? Maybe for a gag…maybe.
Rebecca Pacrem (@DvrDame) ‘s last awesome post..My World Of Quotes #16
I would love to know too!
The pizza sleeping bag is vile–the mushrooms! shudder. But the kush thingy is just…who THINKS of this stuff? seriously. It’s like the SkyMall catalog from hell… wildly funny. And just in time for Christmas shopping. You’re so thoughtful!
deborah l quinn ‘s last awesome post..wordless wednesdays: sunset
I know, and you’re welcome!
OK.
SERIOUSLY!!
The handerpants are hilarious and I want a pair.
The rest?
I want to know the names of every person who has bought them.
WHO BUYS THAT STUFF???
Handerpants for everyone!!
I wish I knew who bought these crazy ass shit. I really do.
The URO club is sexist – what about women who want to pee while standing while they are playing golf? They are forgetting an untapped market!
And the boob arranger thing is hilarious. It makes me wonder if men ever worry about their junk falling all over the place when they’re sleeping?
NINJA (bitch), CEO ‘s last awesome post..Once Upon a Time I Married a Hoodlum…and Why I Admire Kim Kardashian
Hahahahahaha!!!
These things are so funny! I don’t even know what else to say….except, wouldn’t it be hilarious if one of the companies decided to send you a product to review? I think that would be awesome.
Just Jennifer ‘s last awesome post..Memories Captured: Then & Now
Hahaha!! That’d be hilarious. Which one would they send? The Pikaru???
That would be appropriate!
Just Jennifer ‘s last awesome post..Memories Captured: Then & Now
That is fabulous. You have just sorted out my entire Christmas shopping – possibly for years.
Great! This was so fun, I’m probably putting another list together real soon!
That is the GREATEST list I have seen so far this year! Thanks for sharing, and for the laugh!
MillenialMonstr ‘s last awesome post..The Cat in the Hat and the Not-So-Stealth Santa
Hee! You’re most welcome.
O.M.G!!! Where did you find all this?? Seriously… All over that Kush thingy! LoL
Mommy2cents ‘s last awesome post..Memories Captured
The Internet is a wonderful thing!
I swear I already commented on this… but maybe in my head! THESE are hysterical! I am saving it for a future WTF party we have!
Jamie ‘s last awesome post..adorning ornaments
Haha, WTF parties!! Awesome!
Oh my God these are really some weird things.Something really weird about it some people really use them…..Great post though.
Thanks Pauline!
Bizarre and hilarious… that’s what they are!
I like the pizza sleeping bag most especially 
That they are!
LOL the Pikaru is actually really awesome if you are a baby wearer but that picture is terrible. The mom/model has gotten a lot of grief about it & there are a ton of photoshopped pictures making fun of it. There’s one for “octomom” that killed me. Imagine 8 of those heads!
Dana K ‘s last awesome post..Evolution of a Tantrum
Haha that’d be freaky!
Alison!! You have me laughing out loud at your commentary!
Lady Jennie ‘s last awesome post..The Twee
You’re welcome
