10 weird TikTok products that somehow ended up in our carts

TikTok isn’t just viral dances and trending sounds — it’s the world’s most chaotic shopping channel. One minute you’re laughing at a dog video, the next you’ve dropped $47 on a desk vacuum you absolutely didn’t need.

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.

August 28, 2025

Every shiny “creator tool” comes wrapped in PR fluff about empowerment and discovery — but the reality is far less noble. Instagram Shopping, TikTok Promote, LinkedIn InMail… they weren’t built to help you. They were built to make platforms more money.
