We’ve all had it. A surprise madcap moment that takes you on a journey of spotting an object to adding it to your bag, to bringing it to the checkout, to paying an unforeseen amount of money, with or without a guilty pleasure in what feels like an eternity that lasted seconds. No commitment, no time to reflect, zero anticipation about the future.

Later on, it really depends on the purchase whether we regret it or not. On some occasions, the impulse buy turns out to be the best thing that happened to you that day, or even that week. Just take a look at this thread from Twitter user Rachel Syme. “Ok, it’s May, everyone is burnt out, everyone needs one thing in their life they can spend less than $30 and feel a fleeting but heart-quickening thrill,” she wrote and added that: “It is time for a surprise madcap on a budget thread. Tell me the best thing you bought to enhance your life for under thirty.”

And oh boy, this has hit all too close to home. From Sicilian lemon marmalade and a disco ball planter to a remote-controlled helium-filled flying shark and a snail-shaped boy dispenser, you are about to realize your impulse lava lamp is not that weird, if weird at all.
