The Ostrich Pillow
Billed as a perfect napping pod, this pillow (seen above) looks like a gigantic marshmallow combined with a helmet only an alien would love. While we understand the concept (an eye mask just doesn't cut it), we don't understand how the wearer can breathe while face down on a desk or tray table. Also, who sleeps with their arms above their head? We may be wrong in our bewilderment here, however, as this pillow has already exceeded its $70,000 goal on Kickstarter by more than $35,000.

Quivvers
Because the fanny pack isn't ugly enough, we bring you the Quivver. What looks like a cross between a fanny pack, a pageant contestant's sash and a sling is supposed to be a "handy pouch" to carry your worldly possessions while on the go. Thanks, but no. There are several iterations of this on the market, including this travel scarf, which has a similar concept but a rather better looking execution.

Upright Sleeper We all know it's nearly impossible to sleep comfortably upright, but please, ladies and gents, put down your U-shaped travel pillows and strap on the Upright Sleeper. Resembling some sort of torture device or medical-grade neck brace, this great product promises to help you sleep on the plane by preventing your head from moving forward or back. That is, if you can even fall asleep while wearing it. Even better? The model's haircut. His audition for "The Three Stooges" remake must have failed right before he took this gig.


The Laptop Snood-Hood Who needs a privacy shield when you can have THIS? As our buddies over at Engadget put it, this "body-laptop interface" knitted from Thneed is something that "nobody, nobody thneeds." Although, it might single-handedly create some camaraderie in the airport, as passengers would laugh themselves into a good mood while watching somebody wear one.
