At

we have visited some of these portals to find the deals with the most unusual items.

The most seasoned surely know better offers than us.

A helmet for chicken

The articles for pets that are offered in Internet portals are as varied as the personalities of those who acquire them.

Although the most common is to look for a dog sweater for cold days, you can also find a helmet for your chicken or hen.

But you have to be very careful, as according to buyer reviews, it is only suitable for chicks.

From 39 pesos (almost two dollars) it has dropped to 24 pesos (a few cents less to be almost a dollar).

If you have a rooster or a hen, the hoof will probably not fit.

Some glasses for chicken

If poultry is your thing, you might find it interesting to buy some glasses.

According to the specifications on the page, this product prevents another bird from pecking its eyes or injuring itself while eating.

You can choose several colors depending on the personality of your bird.

15 millimeters of plastic for less than a dollar when it was just over one.

A bargain?

Only the buyer can tell.

A unicorn-shaped squirrel waterer

Although squirrels are not domestic animals, those who have a large yard or garden often receive frequent visits from these small rodents.

Nothing like a unicorn-shaped drinking fountain for them.

It can be filled with walnuts or water, depending on taste.

Based on buyer feedback, this gadget attracts squirrels (and even hypnotizes them).

Prepare the camera to upload a photo to Instagram or TikTok.

An umbrella with a rifle handle

If you don't like pets, you can always buy a useful accessory like an umbrella.

Of the many designs on offer, one of the most striking is the one with a rifle-shaped handle.

Although it can be very showy when you carry it closed on the street, it is (very) likely that a police officer will stop you if they think you are armed.

A singing pickle

To surprise your friends (or your children or parents), nothing like a toy with music.

This device is shaped like a pickle and also has several settings.

Opera lovers will be delighted as it has several arias among its repertoire.

Tortilla-shaped blanket

It is the dream of almost any Mexican (or someone -American).

Sleeping as comfortably and warmly as a taco is possible with a round blanket shaped like a flour tortilla.

They still don't make blue dough ones (for the more orthodox) or white corn nixtamal flour, but for now, this blanket went from $ 26 to $ 23 (from $ 549 to $ 999, approximately).

An earring to express rudeness

If Mexicans know something, it is to be subtle.

They use diminutives and all kinds of resources to turn the matter around.

If you no longer want to be (so) subtle, and you have the opportunity to use your tongue for something other than speaking, this mouthpiece may be the one.

A middle finger in the middle of your tongue says more than any insult.

Perhaps with the pandemic and wearing a mask it is no longer so useful, but you can always get a sefli.

For El Buen Fin it has gone from four to just two dollars.
