37 Amazon Products That Might Make You Do A Double-Take

We all know the feeling of scrolling through endless Amazon products and feeling like none of them really spark any interest. You’ve seen it all before right? Don’t be so hasty my friend! Amazon has some true treasures that are easy to overlook when you move too fast. But once you realize how amazing they are, you’ll definitely give them a second (or third) glance, because these aren’t your mama’s Amazon finds (unless your mom is really good at shopping on Amazon, I don’t know your life). We’ve taken the time to find Amazon products that might look simple, but that actually go above and beyond. That plug you see below? Oh, it’s actually a smart plug that powers up devices like your coffee machine with a simple command. We’re not going to just list a plain old hat, we have a hat with a built in flashlight for when you are hiking or working on hobbies at night. Semi-permanent made easy with a conditioner that actually colors your hair. Like I said: nothing is what you’d expect. It’s so much better.
