Three cheap, odd gadgets readers are buying for Presidents' Day

Presidents' Day is here, and it is a good moment to pick up cheap, functional — and sometimes strange — gadgets. Data was gathered on the products readers purchased most in the last few days via links in reviews, buying guides, deal posts, and other site content.

The list highlights the three oddest gadgets people bought most often. Privacy is protected: only aggregate data is available, and there is no way to identify individual purchases. One popular item is an ear camera whose price recently dropped from about $14 to $9; a resident gadgeteer enjoys it for tinkering, though it can be used to check your ear.

Another is an AirPods cleaning tool bought on impulse during Prime Day — it has a 4.5/5 rating with over 10,000 reviews and is dual-ended, with soft bristles on one side and a sharp scraper plus a small brush on the other. The third pick is the Heat It bug bite zapper, offered with USB-C or Lightning adapters.
