It’s safe to say that Amazon has become nearly everyone’s go-to stop when a restock of essentials is in order. I admit that it’s almost scary how quickly I can navigate my account and reorder a Nexxus shampoo and conditioner set. It’s become second nature, but Amazon has so much more than everyday products.

Shopping is supposed to be fun and experimental, so if you ever find yourself tired of a cart filled with paper towels and batteries, it may be time to step outside the box and try out some of the thousands of genius products that Amazon has to offer.

Of course, you don’t have to completely stray away from the tried and true purchases you’ve come to depend on. It just means you may want to add a color-changing foundation into the mix. Yes, you read that right. Or plastic blockers that stop, well, anything, from rolling underneath furniture. Or maybe you’ve always seen something and just didn’t know where to get it. That adorable mini microphone that is all over TikTok? Amazon has it and a lot more.

To sort out the products that may not be worth your investment and focus on the ones that are, I’ve compiled a list of unique stuff on Amazon that just may end up becoming some of your essentials.
