The internet is a weird and, at times, wonderful place.

Having instant access to a world of knowledge is quite a good time (even if so many people choose not to use said knowledge), but it’s tough to top the convenience of buying things without having to leave the house.

Online retail giant Amazon has done alright over the years, and when you dig beneath all the conventional items and best-sellers, you will find some rather strange items being punted on the site.

It doesn’t matter whether or not those products ship to South Africa, because Postbox Courier will just hook you up with a US address, and then deliver the goods to your door within three to five working days,

Mashable did the digging and found a wide range of oddities to choose from. We’ll start with synthetic grass flip flops:

If you’re someone who loves the feeling of the grass between your toes, you can let the spirit of summer live on by snagging these bad boys for $19.22. The grass is synthetic — and designed to conform to your foot — so there’s no need to water or mow your new flops.

It’s an interesting life choice, but if people can get away with wearing Crocs, who are we to judge?

Fans of Bigfoot are in for a treat with this statue:

Home security systems are the best way to get a little peace of mind, but if you want to take yours to another level, why not prop a “life size” Bigfoot in your yard? The hand-cast statue is topped with a UV resistant finish so it’ll stand tall for years to come. Get it for $113.99 to upgrade your curb appeal quirkiness.

Sadly, it’s only 28 inches high, or around 71 centimetres, so I don’t think you’ll be fooling anyone.

What’s that – you love popping pimples? Sure, that’s not weird, but this pimple-popping relaxation toy certainly is:

Behold: the perfect gift for the Dr. Pimple Popper stan in your life. Aside from simulating the thrilling experience of popping a pus-filled pimple, this nauseating stress toy is a solid alternative to fidget spinners. Get the rectangle, or go all in with authenticity to get the nose-shaped one, both priced at $10.99 on Amazon.

You do you, but for relaxation purposes, we would suggest this massager for those feeling a little tense right now.

Hey, have you ever thought that there aren’t enough Miley Cyrus / Nicolas Cage crossover products in the world? No, me neither, but there is something about this Nicolas Cage ‘Wrecking Ball’ pillow that I find amusing:

We first stumbled across the niche world of Nicolas Cage mermaid pillows this past Prime Dayand things haven’t been quite the same since. But if you’ve ever wondered what the National Treasure star’s head would look like on Miley Cyrus’ body, you’re in luck with this specific “Wrecking Ball” rendition priced at $27.95.

Observe just a small sample of what’s on offer out there:

The question is often asked, “what do you get somebody who has everything?”

Nicolas Cage mermaid pillows – duh.

Just a reminder that if you do shop on the likes of Amazon and eBay, where products often don’t ship to South Africa, or you want to avoid the hassles of dealing with South African customs, Postbox Courier is your friend.

I caaaaame in like a wreeeecking ball…
