10 weird TikTok products that somehow ended up in our carts

From cloud lamps to feral water bottles.

TikTok has turned us all into QVC addicts with shorter attention spans.

One minute you’re watching a dog do parkour, the next you’ve spent $47 on a gadget you didn’t know existed 90 seconds ago.

These are the products that made us question our financial decisions — and still kind of love them.

1. Cloud Lamps

The ultimate cottagecore flex.

Looks incredible in videos, but in real life? Half the time it’s just a glorified paper lantern hanging from fishing line.

2. Emotional Support Water Bottles

Stanley Cups, Owala, Hydro Flask — we’ve turned hydration into a lifestyle.

Half your friends are now emotionally attached to a tumbler the size of a newborn.

3. LED Face Masks

Because nothing says “skincare routine” like looking like a stormtrooper from a budget Star Wars spin-off.

4. Desk Vacuum Cleaners

The palm-sized gadget that turns cleaning up crumbs into an oddly satisfying mini-game.

Do you need it? Absolutely not. Do you love it? 100%.

5. Soap in the Shape of Cakes

TikTok loves fake food — but now you’ve got guests awkwardly sniffing your bathroom soap thinking it’s dessert.

6. Mini Projectors

Promised to turn your bedroom into a cinema.

Reality: you watched Shrek 2 once on your wall before it became a dust collector.

7. Tiny Waffle Makers

Because obviously what your life needed was a way to make heart-shaped waffles at 11pm.

8. Heated Eyelash Curlers

Sold as “life-changing” — in practice, they’re just another charging cable to lose.

9. Soup Dumpling Kits

Somewhere between an ASMR cooking video and a three-hour commitment you weren’t ready for.

10. Electric Spin Scrubbers

A power drill for cleaning your shower. Weirdly satisfying, slightly dangerous, and 100% unnecessary.

The takeaway: TikTok’s real superpower isn’t dancing teens or viral sounds — it’s weaponised impulse shopping.

We buy first, rationalise later, and maybe, just maybe, use it twice before it lives in a drawer.
