We asked members of the BuzzFeed Community to tell us about their best impulse purchases on Amazon. Here are the fun *and* useful results:
1. An Amazon Fire TV stick you can simply pop into your existing TV and stream all the shows, movies, and music you want.
2. A gorgeous long-sleeve sheath dress made with stretch lace so you can look entirely chic without *stretching* your budget — whether you're looking for a cocktail number or wedding dress.
3. A classic Nintendo Entertainment System with an old-school look that's pre-loaded with 30 games, including Super Mario Bros, Donkey Kong, The Legend of Zelda, Pac-Man, Final Fantasy, and many more.
4. A pack of adorable and comfortable camper-style socks that'll make you really happy to flash a bit of ankle.
5. A four-inch violin for a symphony of sass when people around you are just whining too much.
6. An oven crisper tray so you can properly reheat your leftover (or frozen) fries and cook fried-adjacent foods like baked wings. Thanks to the open-weave basket that circulates hot air, you get a crispy exterior without having to use butter or oil. It's crunch time!
7. A set of reusable and shatter-resistant glass straws to reduce your plastic waste (every little bit counts). If you don't like how cold metal straws get or think they taste weird, these are a great option!
9. This best-selling bidet toilet attachment to ~clean the crap out of~ your butt (more thoroughly and with less waste than TP) with just a quick squirt.
10. An Amazon Echo Dot with voice-control technology so you can tell Alexa to play music, send messages, tell you the news or weather, control smart devices, make purchases...and so much more.
11. A cooktop cleaning kit that'll tackle grease, stubborn stains, and burnt-on messes, no matter how long they've been sitting there. No judgment.
12. A jar of pistachio butter you'll want to spread on all the things (toast! crackers! fruit!), feature on a cheese plate, or use to intensify the flavours of pistachio baked goods.
13. A Bob Ross board game where players compete to complete masterpiece paintings first. Warning: the loser might have to paint some Happy Little Trees afterwards to soothe their soul.
14. A pack of multi-purpose alligator clips to make setting curls, sectioning off hair, or clipping back your locks while putting on makeup a breeze — without denting your 'do.
15. The complete series of Boy Meets World on DVD, because you're never too old to need some classic Feeheeheeeenayyy wisdom.
16. The legendary Squatty Potty to make pooping easier so constipation is no longer your #1 (or should we say #2) consternation. It's a bestseller for a reason!
17. And a unicorn head for lazy costumes... or just scaring your siblings. Up to you!
When your package doesn't show up 0.002 seconds after hitting "complete order."
