Suddenly, your dull pencil problem seems minor compared to a desk lizard ambush.
Despite this unexpected lizard drama, you might be chuckling to yourself. After all, who wouldn't find a mini desk lizard someone intriguing? Sure, it's a conversation starter, but we'll stick to an average sharpener.

Ever thought about purchasing a remote-controlled miniature forklift to play around with in the office? Probably not. There's a supervisor at the helm of this one, guiding it around the workplace with an air of importance that's a shade of comical. There it goes, the teeny-tiny toy, zipping around pieces of wood and ankles, causing a bit of a stir among the employees who are, in theory, working. This supervisor is proud of this newfound purchase.
A manager or boss was definitely feeling bored on the job and made this purchase with the hopes of annoying at least one fellow worker during a very long shift.
Lighting Fixture Fit for the Tropics
Imagine walking into your living and finding an assortment of stained glass parrots. One wife found herself in this predicament when her husband sprung for a $ 1,000 surprise light fixture. As each colorful bird throws a kaleidoscope of light around the room, you can't help but squint at this purchase. Yes, squint. Because these birds are so bright, they could easily double as a lighthouse beacon on a foggy night.
As extravagant as this is, you have to give the husband some points for boldness. Sure, a bundle of roses might have sufficed, but why stop there when you can have this?

Fluffy "Highland Cow" Footstools That Steal the Spotlight
Anyone walking towards this fluffy footstool might expect to see the usual models or products, but they'd instead find an array of fluffy highland cow footstools. After one too many Scottish romance novels, it's as if a herd of highland cows decided to invade a furniture store. Their fluffy coats and the occasional floral headband make them look disarmingly adorable, if not slightly absurd, for anyone who's never seen these.
The novelty factor alone might be enough to pique your interest. But these might leave you wondering if it's worth having a herd of fashionable faux-bovines in your living room.
When You Can't Decide Between Flamingos and Skeletons for the Lawn
We're here to introduce this bony spectacle placed on someone's front lawn. Having grown tired of their customary rest-in-peace routine, Skeletons are perched atop pink flamingos instead. Yes, flamingos. In a scene that might be described as 'Halloween meets Miami Vice,' these bone riders seem determined to push the boundaries of traditional garden decor. Someone literally took the term 'lawn party' and prepared for the spookiest, most tropical celebration this neighborhood has ever seen.
But let's pause for a second. While the sight of skeletons casually riding flamingos is laugh-out-loud, was it really worth the credit card bill? To whoever owns this, the answer is probably yes.
A Duckling Dining Decor Piece
The extravagance of having a Victorian woman, who just happens to be a duck, meticulously painted on a tray is already enough to give your dinner guests a hearty laugh.

This tray wasn't meant to serve appetizers; it's meant to be a conversation starter at dinner parties.
This tray makes it to the top of our list of questionable purchases. Undeniably, it was meant for buyers who, sitting in their antique-filled homes, felt their room needed more ducks in Victorian dresses.

Imagine Seeing This Thing in the Woods at Night
We're here to introduce Bambi's buff cousin from a lake that's down the road. It was such an odd sight- that same someone couldn't resist sharing this with the rest of the internet. This isn't your usual grazing deer; it's a ripped beat standing tall in a lake, sporting human arms and antlers like the latest wildlife fashion trend. It's a sight that both amuses and confuses pretty much everyone.
Is this aquatic deer with human arms pumping iron underwater to grow a bit of muscle? We can't be sure. But don't go for this one the next time you're considering a lake ornament.
"Hello? I Can't Hear You - I'm on My Crab Phone"
This rotary phone has been broken out of its dull rectangular shell and morphed into a blue and white crustacean. This might be the brainchild of a designer who seemingly daydreamed a lot during his 'Under the Sea' childhood phase because this rotary crab phone is an unusual sight. With classic crab-like beady eyes, this thing is so lifelike you'll double-check to ensure it won't start crawling across your table mid-conversation.
At the end of the day, this cute and crabby contraption is less about connecting calls and more about appreciating someone's ocean-based, yet nonetheless bizarre, sense of phone call fashion.
Some of These Frogs Can Even Spit Your Coffee Onto Your Face When You Tilt the Mug
These mugs are the ultimate punchline in porcelain comedy- if that were even a real thing. Designed by a prankster potter, these quirky cups were the perfect way to give Great Aunt Mabel a fright with her morning tea. With an uncannily realistic amphibian lounging casually at the bottom, they turn a harmless cup of Ear Grey into the kind of nature documentary that nobody ever wants to be a part of.
Forget about leftover sugar lumps of tea leaves; nothing gets the conversation hopping like the discovery of a three-dimensional frog in your freshly brewed cup of coffee or tea.
Unwind Among the Fungi
This couch could make a gnome feel right at home. Not only is this seat a bundle of fun- it's also a bundle of fungus. Each cap is a tiny cushion above your head to cradle any explorer's weary bones, just like a mushroom might do for a lazy worm in the real world. One minute, you're lying down; the next, you wonder if your roommate's turned into a gnome.
Although it could be said that this couch is very 'cultured,' it might be time to admit not all of us are looking to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon in a fairytale.
Forget My Little Pony - It's All About My Little Danny in This House
This is "My Little Danny," the action-figure version of none other than Hollywood hardman Danny Trejo- who owns it? We'll never know. This pint-sized bad boy even comes with a switchblade, doubling as a comb, because even the toughest of men need to keep their hair on point. Forget teddy bears and train sets because this fierce, pocket-sized Trejo is about to become your least favorite sidekick, even though he's always ready to rumble.
Of course, the knife comb is a nice touch, especially if your tiny Danny gets into a showdown with other toys in the sandbox. You might want to keep this away from kids.
The Nightmare Before Teatime
Hidden within the internet is a monster mug and teapot set that takes the saying "a face only a mother could love" to another level.

This one-of-a-kind stained glass panel is starring none other than Beaker, the perpetually panicking Muppet that everyone knows and can't help but love.

It's definitely a conversation piece, mainly consisting of people wondering if that's who they think they are before asking how they could get one of their very own.
Imagine the wonder of stained-glass light casting the reflection of Beaker's anxious expression around your room. It's a bit like living inside a kaleidoscope with a tiny bit of extreme anxiety.
Toaster Bath Bombs in Case You Want to Scare Someone to Death
This bath bomb promises to electrify your bathtub with fizz and color- without life-threatening consequences. We've got to admit there's a certain dark humor in having a toaster-shaped bath bomb. Imagine drawing a bath, lighting some candles, putting on some relaxing music after a long day, only to drop a fake electrical appliance into the water. It's almost like a regular bath bomb had a mid-life crisis and became an appliance.
In the second stage of this bath bomb's life, it fizzes away to leave your water a startling dark shade that might not be found in nature, just when you thought toasters had enough surprises.

A Living Room Safari Adventure
Have you ever wanted to re-enact scenes from 'The Jungle Book' in your very own living room? If so, then we certainly have the purchase for you. Enter a hippo table designed by Derek Pearce, a coffee table where the top seems to float atop a half-submerged, life-sized hippo. It's a weirdly intriguing sight, where the depths of the wild African savannah have been seamlessly blended with an average Ikea table. Guests can't get enough of this thing.
This hippo might be wondering why it's there, in the middle of your living room, with a pane of glass over its head. Thankfully, you don't have to answer to any tables.
A Sharky Twist to Pigs in a Blanket
If you're diving headfirst into the ocean of cooking, the last thing you'd expect is to come across a kitchen item that fuses the sea and a classic party snack. These are shark-shaped molds for making pigs in a blanket. They're as odd as they sound, transforming your usual mini hot dogs wrapped in a pastry into a fin-tastic surprise. Somehow, the final result is extremely satisfying, and we can kind of understand the appeal.
Whether it's the spirit of Shark Week or just a plain old 'Jaws'-theme birthday party, these molds add a certain touch to your appetizers that you might not find anywhere else.
That Kitchen Island Sure Looks Like a Lot of Upkeep
We know what you're thinking- isn't a kitchen island supposed to be for chopping veggies and not for housing an entire ecosystem? Well, not this one, apparently. The potential buyer of this house wanted to take "bringing the outside in" to a nan entirely new level. The island showcases an entire little world smack in the center of a traditional kitchen. We wouldn't be surprised to see lizards lounging and a few birds chirping.
You won't need a TV or a cooking show; the drama of nature unfolds right before your eyes as you dice a couple of onions. Just try not to crack the surface.

Don't be fooled by the fluff; this cushion will ensure you're own sleep cycle away from a wildlife encounter.
This might not be the pillow you'd want to bring to a sleepover, so we recommend leaving it at your house when heading over to a friend to spare them from fright.
For Anyone Wanting a Grape-Decorated Soap Dispenser Labeled "ketchup"
Nobody has really ever wanted to blend bathroom basics with brunch- and that's for a good reason. This doesn't mean we can't take a moment to digest this product- a soap dispenser bottle that, in its attempt at vintage glory, says "ketchup." It's making a bold declaration that, thankfully, doesn't actually exist. Although, you might want to keep this thing far away from the kitchen to avoid any soapy mistakes on anyone's sandwiches.
This is perfect for those moments when you're washing your hands and suddenly feel an intense longing for french fries. However, a ketchup soap bottle probably isn't part of the picture.
For a Comfy Seat Anytime, Anywhere
Have you ever been out and about, exhausted to the bone, and wished you could just flop onto a bean bag right now? Worry no more; your oddly specific wish has been granted by a Japanese company that took comfort, portability, and eccentricity, tossed them in a blender, and produced a wearable bean bag chair. Yes, you read that right. Now you can be the walking, or rather reclining, embodiment of everyone's favorite lazy-day accessory.
Just imagine strolling through a park, feeling the weight of the world on your shoulders, before suddenly transforming into a human lounge chair that might concern anyone in the local area.
The World's Tiniest Slippers for Your Hamster
When you think of pampering your pet, a comfy bed or gourmet meal might come to mind.

After getting this thing, you'll be quick to hurry inside your brand-new pouch, like a kangaroo in reverse, for a short nap or a few hours of reading. Sure, everyone loves a cozy nook, but this oversized pouch combines comfort with a little bit of unique absurdity, where the two meet for a long, awkward conversation. This mega-pouch says less "cute and cozy" and more "seclusion, please."

A Cactus Made for Brainiacs
This cactus is nestled in a skull that seems to fit the vibe. It's a piece for anyone with a prickly passion for botany, a love for Halloween, and a bit of grey matter. This purchase merges the world of neurology and gardening into a fusion you might not have ever expected. With a setup like this, one might wonder whether the cactus is plotting a world domination scheme with a brain like that.
This cranium-themed plant is sure to raise a few eyebrows, and maybe a couple of horrifying gasps before the onlooker realizes that this is simply an adorable little Halloween plant.

Eight Arms of Pure Yarn
Step right up and admire a mess of yarn that has infiltrated deep-sea lovers' living rooms. It's an octopus, now supersized to the point where it matches up to a small car. It's got eight floppy tentacles that appear to be more than a tripping hazard than a decorative feature. But hey, if you've ever dreamed of being engulfed by a giant woolen sea creature- this might be your lucky day.
This octopus has practically swallowed up people's furniture, and they seem to absolutely love it. It just might be time to replace your basic old sweater with an enormous animal.
When It's Okay to Not Just Do It
Meet the ultra-fluffy, all-encompassing Nike suit, an artificial intelligence's brainchild and, although highly comfortable, fashion's biggest question mark. It's the kind of outfit you'd expect from an AI that's been fed a diet of winter catalogs and marshmallow images. Imagine the Michelin Man meeting an enthusiastic sheep, then slapping on a Nike swoosh. The result is a suit that offers total coverage, a questionable fashion statement, and the world's most extreme take on "Just Do It." Maybe this time, don't.
This would be the most valuable player if cloud cosplay were a sport. It's a perfect outfit for anyone wanting to test the theory of 'Is there such a thing as too much fluff?'
A Lamp That Isn't Worth the Quack
We certainly live in a world of unnecessary desk accessories, and this silicone squishy duck lamp might fit nicely into that category. This lounging lamp takes 'chilling out; to an entirely new level, adding a pop of yellow and a bit of quack to any workspace.

These Chairs Let You Sit Criss-Cross-Applesauce Forever
The cross-legged office chair is a wonder of ergonomic engineering for the niche community of people who've ditched tradition and embraced pretzel-style sitting. It might look like the average desk chair has undergone an unexpected transformation. It's equipped with a unique cutout for crossing your legs in comfort, even while typing away on your annual reports. Most usually enjoy sitting regularly, and those people are likely to avoid this price tag.
Strangely enough, this chair seems to have a striking resemblance to a highly enthusiastic yoga instructor, constantly encouraging you to stay in your lotus position for just a little bit longer.
A Top Hat, Candle-Based Edition
This poor gentleman has unfortunately been cast in wax and made into a rather theatrical candle. But don't be fooled by his seemingly ordinary demeanor; once you light him up, his dignified life takes a turn for the dramatic. With his wax skin slowly melting away, he delivers a terrifying representation of how us all facing a boiling hot summer day without the slightest hint of air conditioning or cool relief. We'll stick to regular candles.
This funny yet mildly unsettling transformation is a sure-fire conversation starter, but we're doubtful that anyone will go on the hunt to find one of these things with a desire of setting it aflame.
Fuzzy Slippers for Fuzzy Paws
Caught on camera might be the most confused cat you've ever seen, with all four paws encased in teeny, tiny, painstakingly knitted slippers. These are not just any slippers; they're handcrafted by a dedicated grandma who clearly believes that no family member should go without her knitting magic. A labor of love that also happens to be extremely adorable- and the internet agrees.
It truly looks like this feline model is secretly plotting its revenge as it poses for this very image. Just look into its eyes, and you can practically see the rage.
Dark Side Decor - Darth Vader in Disguise
At first glance, you see a beautifully patterned carpet, its abstract design tastefully matching any modern decor. But, give it a second look, and there he is. Not a phantom villain, but the dark lord himself- Darth Vader, lurking in this living room. This is not your average rug; it's a not-so-subtle nod to the Star Wars fan who can't enough. You've heard of Where's Waldo, but how about Where's Vader?
Now you can silently judge your guests' fandom dedication. If they notice the lurking lord in your floor design, they're worth keeping. If not- it's time to reconsider the friendship.
Snakes or Cookies?
Fresh out of the oven and slithering into the list of the most bizarre purchases, we have "snake-er doodle" cookies. Shaped like your not-so-typical garden-variety serpents, these snickerdoodles seem like they've taken a wrong turn on their way to the zoo and ended up in the cookie jar instead. They come complete with detailed, baked-in tongues and eyes that are as sweet as they are creepy. One has to wonder, do they really taste good too?
These cookies stand as a stark contrast to the otherwise dull world of baking, offering a funny distraction to anyone who wants to add a bit of variety to their cookies.
Space Veggies
Bizzare purchases can sometimes take a turn into the peculiar world of food. Take, for instance, the 'heirloom black carrot nebula,' an odd-looking vegetable that looks like a foodstuff and more like an artificial one from the outer cosmos. Its color matches the infinite abyss of space, and its shape, which pretty much looks exactly like a nebula. This entire thing makes you question if it's a fruit from Mother Earth or a gift from some alien friends.
After the initial intrigue that might have caught you off guard comes the ultimate question: how do you eat this thing? Do you cook it? Maybe it's a fancy garnish for space-themed parties.
Where Medieval Meets the Rainbow
These enormous rainbow wings are loud, to say the least, and they were bought by a woman and her son at a Renaissance fair. Apparently, these two were interested in the idea of looking like a cross between a midlevel court jester and a technicolored parrot. Why settle for a humble monk's robe when you can blind every onlooker with an array of colors that would even make a peacock slightly jealous? At least, that's what they would say.
With this set of wings, functionality flies out of the window (or, let's be honest, it never really entered). All we can say is, prepare for a confused crowd when wearing these.
