15 cool and quirky gifts that arrive in time to win Christmas — all under $30

Sometimes the most genius inventions also tend to be the most eyebrow-raising and giggle-inducing — things that were born to go viral on social media. In fact, those brilliant as-seen-on-TV products were HSN’s bread and butter long before social media even existed.

Nowadays, HSN has evolved into a bonafide online superstore. But if you sift through all the brand-name home and fashion finds, you’ll still find plenty of quirky game-changers, from a battery-operated shower brush that gives you a spa makeover to a toaster that makes a grilled cheese sandwich better than mom did.

We rounded up 15 of the weirdest, most wonderful must-haves at HSN. Each is $30 or under, and all of them make perfect gifts or stocking stuffers. Get clever and cute with your holiday gifting!

Beekman 1802 has an entire skincare line based on one magical ingredient: goat milk. The brand has even extended into milk-infused wood polish, and of course these goat-faced polishing mitts are essential. But they work as dusters on their own, too!
