37 Shark Tank Inventions on Amazon That Are Pure Genius

ABC’s Shark Tank is a hit with three generations of my family. Grandma, dad and I all like to tune in to see the extraordinary inventions of ordinary people.

Some Shark Tank products solve common problems, like this paper cutter that slices perfectly straight lines in gift wrap rolls. Others create something new and surprising, like this hoodie that transforms into a backpack. And then there are those that are just OMG cute, like this lion costume for your dog.

I thought it’d be fun to take a look at some of the best Shark Tank products on Amazon. Here’s what I found.

This Christmas sweater is a conversation piece, a fashion statement and a game!

  via : Amazon  

I don’t know where to start with this sweater. It’s got it all! First, there’s a crazy pattern that keeps your eyes moving up, down, left, right and back again until you’re dizzy. Then there’s the target on the front that invites you to throw velcro balls at the wearer. “You miss, you drink!” On the back, there’s a game score guide. Red = Share a drink. White = Give a drink. Green = I drink. Bullseye = Everyone drinks. And as if that weren’t enough, each sleeve has a handy red pocket to store your sanity in.

Save time and hassle cleaning with this angled broom with foot-operated dustpan

  via : Amazon  

This clever gadget is like a broom-squeegee hybrid. Everything about it is directed at convenience and effectiveness. The angled, densely-packed electrostatic bristles of the broom trap pet hair, dust and allergens with no heavy muscle power. Just stand upright and push the broom with a single hand using long, gliding strokes. Then, lightly step on the top of the dustpan, which seals it to the floor so no debris escapes as you sweep it inside. Clean the bristles on the dust pan’s side comb. Then snap them together and store away!

This stylish outdoor wine glass is the adult sippy cup you didn’t know you needed

Two moms came up with this ingenious idea for enjoying wine safely (and stylishly) outdoors. This stemless wine glass is made of shatter-resistant white glass with a colorful silicon sleeve for secure grip. It’s got a drink-through lid that can be sealed for safe transport. Each glass holds 17 ounces (half a wine bottle). And there are so many cute colors to choose from, plus a cool leopard print. Get one of each and your guests can choose their color so they never forget which glass is theirs.

This delicious date spread is a healthy sugar alternative

  via : Amazon  

Whenever possible, I try to get my sugar from fruit. Raw dates are naturally sweet and delicious, and they’re a great source of fiber, vitamins and minerals. All that’s in this natural spread is Deglet Noor dates, water, and lactic acid. Spread it on bread, pair it with almond butter, use it in recipes or eat it right out of the jar. It’s an all-purpose, all-natural sweet treat. And you can get it in a few additional flavors: cinnamon, vanilla, chocolate or pumpkin spice.

The oversized wheels on this grocery cart make it stable and easy to roll up steps and across bumpy terrain. It even works on snow and ice!

And you can choose from more than two dozen colors and styles.

This stuffed unicorn is also a kids’ detangling brush

  via : Amazon  

Grooming just got fun with this adorable unicorn toy that doubles as a detangling brush. It works for straight and curly hair, wet or dry.

And don’t forget to check out the unicorn’s Tangle Pets friends: cat, dog, lady bug, dolphin and bunny.

These adorable girls’ socks won’t fall off

  via : Amazon  

I’d buy these socks for the designs alone! You get three pairs of girls’ socks — each featuring a too-cute squid with a colorful treat (lollipops, rainbows and donuts). But these are more than just a fashion statement. These socks are made with silicone “squiddy dots” inside the cuffs to hold the socks comfortably and securely in place. The fabric is lightweight, durable and resistant to shrinking, wrinkling, and stretching. Plus, the dying process makes the graphics extra-resistant to wear-and-tear. Those little squid won’t scratch off or fade away.

Get moving and have a ball (pun intended) with this fun backyard game

  via : Amazon  

Welcome to Spikeball! Those who’ve played it say it’s addictive. The game set is simple: three balls and a trampoline-style net. The game play is also simple, I’m told, though I haven’t quite got it straight yet. You play in teams of two-on-two, and it’s a bit like four-square meets volleyball. Only spikier. It’s so popular that there’s even a Spikeball app you can use to find nearby pick-up games and tournaments!

This portable changing station keeps baby’s hands out of the way while you change her

It comes with a teether toy that doubles as a slide buckle for your baby blanket or cloth napkins. Use it to make a bib, a canopy or nursing cover.

These crunchy snacks have been called vegan pork rinds

  via : Amazon  

I’m a vegetarian, and I’ve never liked pork rinds, but still I’d love to try these chips described as vegan pork rinds. They’re made of yuca, mushrooms, and onions, and are only 80 calories a bag. Sometimes you just need a crunch. Sancklins give you that, with a burst of flavor and zero guilt.

This dog onesie contains shedding and calms anxiety

  via : Amazon  

These adorable dog onesies are made of a lightweight, breathable, four-way stretch material that’s designed to be comfortable for dogs. They allow dogs to shed naturally, while containing the shedding so it doesn’t get all over the house. The gentle pressure of the onesie can help calm dogs’ nerves and make them feel secure. It’s also a great way to protect dogs from ticks on hikes, and to keep them from scratching sore spots that are healing. And as if that’s not enough, they’re fashion-pieces!

Pricetitution: The card game you need at your next game night!

  via : Amazon  

You can even play this game over Zoom! The premise is simple: Put a price tag on a variety of hypothetical “dares,” like getting a tattoo on your arm of the last thing you ate. What would someone have to pay you to do that? Points are gained by guessing as close as possible to the actual price a player says it’d take for them to do the stunt. Learn about your friends, argue over fictional events, and forget your troubles for at least a few hours. How much would you pay for this game? If you said $20, you win!

This compression face mask fights aging — and looks cool doing it

  via : Amazon  

This product is aptly named: Lace Your Face. Made of lacy cotton, this face mask uses compression to enhance absorption of ingredients. It’s got multi-peptides, algae, and apple stem cells to diminish wrinkles, promote cellular repair and protect against free-radical damage, while hydrating skin. Plus, it’s got antioxidants — vitamin C and green tea leaf — that help prevent the loss of elasticity for softer, younger-looking skin.

The pounding headache. The dry mouth. The lingering feeling of regret. Oh, hangover, why are you such a jerk? That’s the very question pondered by the folks at Cheers Restore when they created these after-alcohol pills. Think of these as a dietary supplement aimed at reducing the negative effects of cocktails. They do so by replacing lost vitamins, reducing GABAa rebound and supporting the liver.

This little suction tool removes poison from bug bites

Two things I really love about this product: 1) The name: Bug Bite Thing. I mean, call it what it is, right? 2) The concept: Instead of treating bug bites with topical or oral medications, just remove the irritant from your body altogether. Brilliant. This little suction thingy removes venom, saliva, and other irritants left behind by mosquitoes, bees, wasps, chiggers and more. Itching and swelling: gone!

This ingenious product holds up a wedding dress so the bride can use the bathroom

  via : Amazon  

At every wedding, there’s at least one bridesmaid on toilet duty. That is, she’s the one in the bathroom stall holding up the miles of silk and tulle that would otherwise cascade down the bottom half of the bride … and right into the toilet. This amazing product frees up the bridesmaids of the world by giving the bride total control over her gown. By wearing it underneath her skirt, the bride is able to use it to gather her skirt in a protective cocoon up above her waist and cinch it in place while she does her business. (Watch the product video for an awesome demo.) When done, she just lets her skirt back down, and it’s clean as a whistle.

Find out if your cat is really part lion with this cat DNA test kit

  via : Amazon  

Ok, you may not suspect your cat is part lion, but there’s a good chance you wonder where she got some of her coloring and attitude. I know I’m curious about my boy, Buddy. The shelter where I adopted him answered my question about his breed with: “He’s a cat.” This test kit tells you how your cat’s genetics break down among four main breed groups and 21 individual breeds. You also get a chromosome map and a wild cat index. (That’s where the lion comes in.) But even more valuable than all that is the health marker screening, which gives you a report on potential health conditions to which your cat my be pre-disposed.

This wine preserver will keep your vino cork-popping fresh for three days after opening

  via : Amazon  

Don’t you hate it when you pour yourself a glass of that delicious wine from the night before, only to discover that it’s not so delicious anymore? Wine begins to oxidize when it’s exposed to air, and this changes the taste. To retain the initial aroma and flavor of the wine, you need to seal it off from the air. That’s where Air Cork comes in. Just lower the medical-grade latex balloon into the bottle and squeeze the pump to fill the balloon with air. As it inflates, it seals the wine off from air. You can even turn the bottle upside-down to see: Not a drop will spill. Keep your wine fresh and delicious for three to four days with this clever device.
