    25 Practical Products Disguised As Fun Impulse Buys

    Fun *and* functional? The perfect pairing.

    1. A humidifier that looks like a little dog ready to blast off into space in their reindeer rocket ship. Why isn't this a movie yet?

    2. A tape dispenser shaped like a narwhal because — just like the horned whale itself — fun practical purchases seem mythical, but really do exist.

    5. A pair of blue-light blocking glasses so you can have an excuse to try out a new pair of frames. These help prevent eye strain and headaches, so yeah, you need these things!

    6. A VERY cool microfiber laundry ball inspired by how coral filters the ocean. It collects microfibers shed by clothes so you can snag them all and dispose of them properly.
