Friday Frivolity - As Seen on TV Strangeness

It's time for this week's edition of Friday Frivolity - the blog party for all things fun, funny, hopeful & happy!

Just wait until you see what we dug up for this week's theme...

At last week's party, we shared some of the books our hearts are pining after.

This week, we're laughing at all those crazy As Seen on TV items.



We have a running joke with the cousins' family: each year, we give each other the zaniest As Seen on TV item we can find for a Christmas gift.

We've found some hum-dingers, but the best part has been all the years where the gifts actually turned out to be pretty useful.

Today, I'm sharing some that are on our shortlist for this year's present:


Clever Cutter

That's right - it's a knife and a cutting board - all in one!



Aqua Stone
I want someone to tell me how this contraption is different from setting out a glass of water to evaporate!


Stufz

I love the things like this one, because come on, how hard is really to wrap your burger meat around stuffing in the first place?


Motion Activated 8-Color Toilet Light

Is it wrong that a little part of me is hoping we get this one?




Rainbow Shower Head
Rainbow lights in the shower? I might just break down and buy this one myself, if I don't get it!



Even though there were some great gift ideas in that list, I think we pretty much have to get them this:


Squatty Potty

I don't think it's technically an As Seen on TV item, but ever since we were over at their house and they shared this video with us, we haven't stopped laughing and referencing it whenever we have the chance:







Now, on to the link-up!
