Re: What’s your strangest Amazon purchase?

Now i have to go and check Amazon for some of these ¨strange¨ things.

 

My entire family buys something on Amazon every day but it´s always practical things.  I have 6 items to check. Can´t stop laughing.

Ok, I'll go first.

 

About a month ago, I ordered twist ties from Amazon,  100 twist ties.  Just plain old twist ties.  

 

I use them all the time to close bags of shredded paper so I can take it to recycling. 

I was down to my last twist tie and desperate times call for desperate measures. LOL, so I ordered them from Amazon.

 

I think that's my most off the wall purchase. Anyone else?


Google eyed springy glasses to take pics of my dogs with. Sadly there is no real way to keep them on them to get the pic. Just had a thought I could crochet a strap. I'll add that to my list of 4000 other things I need to make.

This is something that I did not know existed.  Ice cube trays with lids.  Absolutely love them.  I live in an apt. so I don't have the luxury of an ice maker.

@Sage04I hope your nephew gets a good laugh!  I'll tell you, sometimes the whacky and silly gifts create more fun, good laughs and fond memories than the big ticket gifts.  Have fun! 😀

Dog Tag  "S " hooks. The ones that come with the dog ID tags are thin and dont last. These are like the ones that come with the annual  licence once on, impossible to open.  Need a pliers  to attach. Now I have a big bag of them. Lol.

 

Interesting Thread.

You probably don't want to know, but Amazon has a large inventory of eyeglasses for dogs with back straps for under $10.  Maybe could be easily adapted to your springy glasses...

 

I have bought several of the things that others have bought, including a tape measure, covered ice trays, cedar sachets for my shoes, and toilet paper!  I have bought tons of organizing things, at cheaper prizes than the Q, including little shelves to go in the bathroom, so I have things where I need them without a remodel.  I bought one for my hair styling products (blow dryer, curling and straightening irons), which is great so I don't put hot plugged things where they can cause harm, and extra bath supplies just off the tub so I can reach out without getting out! 

 

Love Amazon!
