Most of our daily essentials are aggressively… functional. Your pizza cutter slices pizza, your pillow holds your head, and your bag clips keep your chips from going stale. They do their jobs with a soul-crushing lack of imagination. But what if the things you used every day sparked a little bit of ridiculous joy?
That’s where some genius designer steps in, looks at a boring kitchen tool, and thinks, “You know what this needs? To be a bicycle.” This list is a glorious tribute to that kind of brilliant, unhinged thinking. We’ve rounded up 22 basic items that have been given an absolutely adorable, sometimes bizarre, and always delightful makeover that will make you question why all your belongings aren’t shaped like tiny animals or your favorite carb.

#4 Your Lifelong Dream Of Carbo-Loading In Your Sleep Can Finally Be Realized, No Crumbs Involved, With A Magnificent Bread Shaped Pillow
Review: “Realistic, comfy. The fabric is velvety and it has a zip, but no internal pillow, just stuffing, so you have to unstuff it and then restuff it to wash it. But you could buy a pillowcase, stuff that, and put it inside if you wanted to make it easier to wash. It’s plump and squishy and photographs great. I love it and so do kittens.” – SJT
