Amazon has a list of products called "Movers and Shakers," which is pretty much just fancy-talk for things that are currently ~trending~.
Some of these trending products are really smart and useful, and some of them are honestly just weird AF. This roundup includes a little bit of everything, from the coolest and most practical products to the most predictable, the most WTF, and ones with the best [read: dumbest] reviews.
Just FYI, some of the reviews in this post have been minimally edited for length and spelling.
1. This kitty-ear beauty band that keeps your hair out of the way while you wash your face, do makeup, or take a shower ($5.88).
File this under "things you never knew you needed but now you want 12 of them."
Most promising review: "I'm young at heart. I love those woolen animal hats that teenagers wear, but I'm too old for them. Since no one but me and my husband will ever see me washing my face, I can enjoy these cute little kitten ears without publicly humiliating myself and bringing shame upon my family. This headband is soft, cute, fits well and does the job."

2. These sex dice that help instruct you and your partner (or your roasted chicken) on how to be intimate ($5.49).
These dice will also provide the combo "suck ass," so...

4. This dummy camera that tricks people into thinking they're being watched ($7.99).
![This is actually brilliant, and it's a hell of a lot cheaper than a real surveillance system. Most promising review: "I have seen a lot of different variations of dummy cams and this one is definitely one of the most realistic looking ones I've owned yet! The body is made of plastic but from a distance, you can't tell. The cam comes totally assembled. It takes two AA batteries that are inserted in a discreet compartment on the top of the camera. The [red] lights look spectacular in the dark and low light." —Sarah C.Find it here.](https://img.buzzfeed.com/buzzfeed-static/static/2016-02/9/14/enhanced/webdr04/original-10122-1455047216-14.jpg)

5. This aromatherapy mist diffuser that will help you relax wherever you go ($25.99).
This diffuser glows with a color-changing LED light. The brightness is adjustable, and it offers two different diffuser settings: one for constant mist and another for 30-second mist intervals.
Most promising review: "I love this little diffuser! I keep it in my kitchen and it works really well, especially considering the cost! I have spent much more than this on a diffuser and it has petered out in a couple of months... but not this one. It's like the little engine that could, and I run it every day!" —Melody R.

This plug allows you to turn an appliance on or off from anywhere using a smartphone and a corresponding app. It's perfect for things like Christmas trees, or for turning on a light in your window when you're away from home.
Most promising review: "What a lifesaver! I can't tell you how many times I've stayed out late (unplanned) and come home to a very dark home. This product allows you to remedy that. If you come home late, you merely turn your light(s) on in order to see who (hopefully) isn't there. It also creates ease of use for people who have a hard time getting up and down to dim the lights." —Kathryn's Mommy

9. This stylish backpack that has a built-in protective pocket for you laptop ($38.99).
Most promising review: "If you're looking for a backpack that looks different from the typical everyday student or tech backpack, this is the one.

I can easily carry my 15 inch Dell laptop in this bag, and still have room for books, folders and lots of other things." —Angela

10. These herb scissors that Barbara loves to use for making Pico de Gallo ($9.99).
You're gonna want to read this whole review.
Most promising review: "I love them! They have become an essential component of my kitchen utensils. These herb scissors and multipurpose kitchen shears have 5 extremely sharp stainless steel blades. They come with its own handy cleaning comb. These scissors allow me to cut my cilantro very well. In my household, it does not matter what kind of dinner we are having, we always have 'Pico de gallo' with our meals. 'Pico de gallo' is a Mexican side relish that accompanies most Mexican meals. Literally the name 'Pico de gallo' means "rooster's beak", why did it get that name? I do not know. Maybe it is because it catches people off guard with how spicy it can be. I do not know that for a fact, it is just assumption. Anyway, back to the scissors, they allow me to cut the cilantro very fine, since I do not like 'chunky' food. I am all about texture with my food." —Barbara L Culbertson

Most promising review: "Love my new boots! They are warm, water proof, and super cute. I'm ready for a snow storm!" —Kristin Mitchell

14. This Fisher-Price sleeper that is great for babies with acid reflux ($36.54).
New parents: behold!
Most promising review: "Loved this item. I bought this for my newborn daughter and it was a life saver. Loved the portability of it when we went to peoples houses. It also takes up a lot less space in our bedroom, as opposed to having a pack n play. The fact that my daughter had acid reflux made it that much nicer to have, as it keeps them at an incline. I have washed the liner multiple times and it still is in great shape." —Katied125

15. This complex romance novel, Lost in a Thug's Love, on Kindle ($0.99).
The second one is also a best-seller.
Most promising review: "This is a must read. Treasure Malian definitely laid it out in this unlikely love story. She had unexpected twists and turns that left you with your mouth hanging open. I was so upset when the end came because there was no more to read. This is a story that makes you want to let everyone know to read it. I am looking forward to sequel with baited breath. This book had everything you look for in a good novel." —Michelle Rawls

16. This snail repair intensive ampoule/serum that is apparently a miracle for your face ($10.69).
This serum is a favorite among people who practice Korean-style facial care routines. Yes, it does contain "snail secretions" and it usually costs over $40.
Most promising review: "I am obsessed with this stuff! At first I was kind of icked out about putting snail goo on my face but OMG, this stuff is amazing I've only been using it about two weeks and my pores are noticeably smaller and my skin tone is evening out already. I've already ordered the Mizon Snail repair eye cream and the face cream. Overall I'm pretty sure this stuff is magic." —Elizabeth A. Root

It also comes with a lanyard. Perfect for vacations or general sucky weather.
Most promising review: "Every time I went to the beach I always had to put my phone in a zip lock bag and lets just say that was a disaster. My phone always ended up with sand stuck in the crevasses. Now with this product I can actually have peace of mind when going to the beach or swimming. And I can fully use all functions of my phone while its inside the pouch." —Ciao Bella

18. Garmin Vivofit Fitness Band that monitors your daily performance ($49.99).
You can purchase it either with or without a heart rate monitor. Also, it's literally so easy to use that a 10-year-old left this review:
Most promising review: "I got the Garmin Vivofit band for my 10th birthday and I love it. I like how it tells me to get active. It always works and I have never had a problem with it. It linked easily with my tablet. I love on the app how it tells you how many steps you have taken over a week with a line graph. It is fun that it monitors my sleep and tells me how many hours I have slept. I would recommend you buy this item because of its great quality." —CT2GM

19. These lawn aerator shoe straps that fit over any shoes and are not gender-specific, damn it ($24.99).
Most promising review: "What can I say, these added a spring to my step...a breath of fresh air to my otherwise drab day. I wouldn't want to poke holes in anyone's argument that these strap ons are difficult to use, but that I must do. I must point out that despite my husband's naysaying words, I was able to put these shoes together myself in just over 5 minutes. This gave me a sense of accomplishment and purpose that made me proud (so much so that I teared up singing the national anthem). I did use ski poles to ensure I looked as cool as could be in my new digs. Appearances are very important to me ya know, I have to present a certain air about myself to maintain my social standing. Anyhoo, the sticks worked great at keeping me marching steadily across my dry, clay filled lawn. To me, these really are the holy grail of inexpensive aeration devices." —Andrea Lin

20. Poo-Pourri toilet spray for the fart-heavy people of the world ($24.99).
The "royal flush" scent is the current best-seller.
Most promising review: "DOES IT WORK? YES. It actually does work. It has a very strong smell of spearmint and eucalyptus. It's a very strong smell and the scent stays in the bathroom for a while after you are done. It works for all kinds of poops and even for farting." —Sam Archer

21. Dove chocolate heart tin that your lover will only maybe appreciate ($12.74).
Obviously this is timely given that some people are desperately trying to prepare for Valentine's Day. Not sure if ordering chocolate through the mail is a great call, but that's none of my business.
Most promising review: "She loved them. Her only comment was that she wished that 'Dove' wasn't embossed in the tin. She would have loved to saved it. But didn't want their trade mark on her night stand. They could have put their name on the bottom or something." —Buddy Davis

22. IHOP gift cards that buy you pancakes at IHOP ($25.00).
Honestly surprised this isn't a year-round best-seller.
Most promising review: "Um, I am not sure why I have to write a review as it is a gift card. Seems a little unnecessary, but here it goes....card worked awesome. I was able to buy stuff From IHOP...." —B. Gordon

From Peter Meehan, one of the brilliant minds behind Momofuku!
Most promising review: "1. No Frying 2. No Subrecipes. Those two lines had me from the start. This is truly an easy cookbook with recipes can be made on a weeknight (easy tasty stir-fries) to a fun weekend project (dumpling making). Already one of the most used cookbooks I've purchased in a long time." —Chill K.

25. This Acer 24-inch LED monitor that's especially useful for gaming or home offices ($131.77)
It gets pretty consistently high rated reviews, but the speaker quality is often cited as a problem.
Most promising review: "Personally I was looking for a monitor to add to my gaming set up. I play Xbox One on this monitor and it is perfect! The way the button layout is used for the menu is awesome. The only thing that I would say that this monitor could improve on was to implement better speakers. I used to play the volume out loud but it was awful so then I went back to playing audio through my Turtle Beach Headset. Only reason why its a 4 star is because the speaker quality." —Amazon customer

27. 25-pack of Japanese cotton pads that can be used on your face or in your vaporizer ($6.39).

Most promising review: "SO MUCH COTTON!!! Cotton for days..... Cotton for LIFE... well maybe not life, but it is a ton of the stuff. Good thickness, easy to roll and thread. Easy to cut. Wicks really nicely. I am using a 30/70 PG/VG and it works very well." —ajr252
