This holiday season, even as consumers say they're pulling back on spending, experts like Tod Marks, senior editor at Consumer Reports magazine, expect that purchases of unusual products will stay strong.
"A lot of people laugh at them but a lot more consumers actually pay attention to these things," he said. "There's some either underlying curiosity or promise or implied performance that underlies these things … it's putting a piece of bait on a hook and dangling it in front of some very hungry consumers."
Have a look at this list of unusual merchandise.
Handerpants - Yes, these are actually gloves designed to look like tighty-whities.
The Tiddy Bear - These attach to seat belts to relieve the discomfort from the pressure the strap can put on a person's shoulder and neck.
Pup To Go - This is a dog carrier that straps onto a person's chest and abdomen, similar to a baby carrier.
The Comfort Wipe - It's an 18-inch paper extension arm and toilet paper holder.
Big Daddy Driver - A combination golf club, and weed whacker.
Winkers - This company decorates pants so they 'wink' when you walk. The wink is the crease between your buttock and the top of the leg.
Snuggie for Dogs - The blanket with sleeves, this time for dogs!
The seat belt thing ... maybe. As for the rest, I'll pass.
Will any of these be on your Christmas shopping list?
