"I bought the Self-Knitting Cat Hair Sweater Kit last month. You just collect your cat's shed fur, feed it into this machine, and it knits while you sleep! The sweater is so warm, though it does smell a bit like my tabby when it rains."

- Margaret Chen, Portland

"The Telepathic Toaster is a game changer. It somehow knows exactly how brown I want my toast each morning based on my mood. The only downside is it refuses to work on Mondays, claiming it needs a mental health day."

- Derek Williams, Austin

"Cannot recommend the Quantum Pickle Jar enough! The pickles exist in multiple states until you open the lid. Sometimes they're dill, sometimes sweet, sometimes they're actually olives. Really keeps snack time exciting."

- Sarah O'Connor, Boston

"The Anti-Gravity Socks were a terrible idea. Yes, they make you float 2 inches off the ground, but I keep bumping my head on doorframes and my dog is terrified of me now."

- James Martinez, Seattle

"Finally tried those Memory Foam Slippers that actually record and play back your dreams. The product works great, but I discovered my dreams are mostly about forgetting to study for tests I took 20 years ago."

- Patricia Wong, Chicago

"The Time-Traveling Teapot seemed like a good deal - steep your tea for 5 minutes but only wait 30 seconds in real time. Unfortunately, my tea keeps coming out with tiny dinosaur fossils at the bottom."

- Harold Singh, Miami

"Love my new Personality-Swapping Mirror! Each morning I can choose to temporarily adopt the personality of anyone it's ever reflected. Though I had to stop using my mother-in-law's setting - I kept criticizing myself about everything."

- Linda Jefferson, Denver

"The WiFi-Enabled Fortune Cookies are accurate to an unsettling degree. One predicted I would 'find surprise in blue package on Thursday' and then my neighbor's blue car rolled into my garbage bins that exact day."

- Michael Chang, San Francisco

"These Recursive Russian Nesting Dolls are mind-bending. Open the smallest one and somehow there's an even smaller one inside. I've been opening them for three weeks and haven't reached the end yet."

- Rachel Goldman, Minneapolis

"The Quantum Entangled Sock Pairs seemed like a solution to lost socks, but now when I wash one sock, the other one gets wet wherever it is. My teenager took one to college and now I have to coordinate laundry days across state lines."

- Tom Peterson, Phoenix
