I tend to march to the beat of my own drum. That is, I enjoy going off the beaten path to find unique products that most people don’t typically have. That trait really comes in handy when I’m seeking out new products available on Amazon — because the odd finds littered throughout the rest of the web always seem to end in a lot of returns.
And that’s why I’m finally getting around to buying all the products skyrocketing in popularity on Amazon. They’re surefire winners — and because they’re reviewer-backed, the oddness of some of the products doesn’t deter me. So whether I’m talking about a sturdy bamboo bath mat that turns any shower into a spa, or an eyeliner stamp that gives your eyes perfect wings, I’ve finally accepted that Amazon is the only place to shop for unusual, surprising finds.
Besides, not only do they make returns incredibly easy (not that you’ll need to return anything), but their robust customer review section makes it easy to stick with fabulous finds instead of dreadful duds. Frankly, I’m a little embarrassed I’ve wasted so much time shopping elsewhere — especially when there are so many fascinating products on Amazon to choose from.

The edges of the slats are rounded so that they won’t pinch your feet, and it’s so durable it can even withstand the weight of a car (literally).
2. A French Press Coffee Maker That’s Double-Wall Insulated
Whereas most French presses are made from glass that can easily shatter if it ever gets dropped, this French press is made with super-durable stainless steel that’s also resistant to rust.
