12 Weird Items to Buy for Your Apartment

By Danni White on November 30, 2016

Getting your first apartment as a college student is a major life advancement. It may even be a step in the direction of your goals. Say goodbye to dorm life and hello to a living space that is all your own.

While it may not look like your parents’ place with everything in its rightful order, your new space can be just the way you want it to be with some weird items thrown in. Depending on your paycheck, you might be able to afford some very pricey items. But even if you’re not there yet, there are still some things that may not be necessary but are nonetheless awesome and fun to have.

Here are some of the weirdest products I found around the web that you may want to check out for your new place.

The all-in-one swivel cabinet

For some of us, we can never have enough space for all of our things. Perhaps this one-thirds mirror, one-thirds coat rack, and one-thirds poster board will do the trick. There are five shelves total and it’s a funky little storage piece to add to your place. It’s available on Amazon here.

A throw pillow in the shape of a pizza

Give a nod to the pizza slice. You know when you can’t decide on what to eat, you just head straight for the pizza. I guess now if you can’t decide what to sleep with, the throw pizza pillow is your go-to companion. Check it out on LandofNod.com.

A ring holding sheep

Have so many rings that you can’t keep up with them all? Well, there’s an app for that — uh, I mean, a sheep for that. A refined animal collection of anagram ring holders can be useful for when washing hands or dishes or just a safe place to keep them when you go sleep. Besides the sheep, there’s also the elephant, reindeer, giraffe, dog, and bunny. Get it here.

The little black organizer

Everything you use on a daily basis can practically go into this little accessory organizer. It has 15 clear pockets on one side and six mesh pockets on the other. How cool is that! And it hangs on the back of a closet door, on the wall or pretty much anywhere you have a knob for things to hang on. There is also the jewelry organizer and the scarf organizer. Get them all here.

Pillows that know your true feelings

“I’m going to bed.” Or, “I’m never leaving bed” is more like it for me. I mean literally. These are the pillows we all need. They not only call us with their words but they are comfortable, 50-50 polyester and cotton and machine washable. Of course, it is just the pillow cover that is available. You’ve got to have the pillows. Check it out here.

Smart alarm clock

This alarm clock connects to our smartphone and comes with a ring tone, vibration, and combination option. It is thin enough to slip under your pillow and that is especially good if you’re a heavy sleeper or if you suffer from hearing loss. Get the smart alarm here.

Cherry chomper

Most likely you don’t eat fresh cherries every day, but for the times that you do, this cherry chopper pitter is a quick and safe device to pit those cherries. Find this unique kitchen utensil here.

The pillow cover that reminds you of food

Who doesn’t like to be reminded of sweet foods like donuts and pastries? This pillow cover will have you thinking about donuts first thing in the morning literally and dreaming about them at night. There are a couple different sizes available and the pillow insert is a bonus for a small fee. Check it out here.

USB foot warmers

So we all like to be warm from head to toe especially when it’s cold and probably the hardest part of our bodies to keep warm is our feet. Enter Sea-Son to Snuggle USB foot warmers. I’m not kidding, these really exist! Powered by your Mac or PC, these cozy slippers will keep your feet warm while you work or study. Check out this super cool item here.

The always clean sheet

So I wasn’t sure one of these actually existed but alas I have found them. If you’re not the type who likes to wash sheets every week but you do like to sleep on fresh clean sheets, check out these seven sheet peelable disposable layer sheets. They are waterproof so that no stains or messes touch the next layer. With just four sets of these, you could change your sheets out every day and wash them once a month. Get it here.

Mood light switch decorators

Sometimes the first thing we see in the morning and the last thing we see at night sets the mood for our day and the kind of sleep we get. Twenty-four unique and cute decals come in this set and can cheer you up or give you something nice or funny to think about as you enter and exit your room. Check it out here.
