Have you ever bought something or received something as a present and you don't have a clue how to use it and what it is for? I'm sure we all have! It's a lot more common than you think.

People receive things on a daily basis from their loved ones as presents and they think to themselves "What is this?" And apparently, nobody has the answer to their questions and finding something on the internet with just a photo can be quite difficult. Some people even find weird things when they pack out their deceased loved one's boxes.

So to help all these people and the rest of us with our "What is it?" question a list of 18 things was compiled to shed some light on what these weird and strange items are actually used for.

1. “What is this? First thought was that it was for tea, but it would just spill out if closed.”

This device is actually used to sprinkle powdered sugar on a pie or to put some flour on the dough.

2. “Got this contraption as a Christmas gift together with a ’Good luck guessing what this is!’ message.”

3. We think this might be a vase

4. “Found this with a few of my grandfather’s things. No clue as to what it could be.”

5. Perhaps a belt?

It's called suspenders for men. It was developed by a Slovenian company. You put the main belt around your waist and the remaining parts are attached to the shirt.

6. A rolling pin for wood maybe?

This is used to cut dough for croissants.

7. Some kind of mincer

8. Something to do with coins maybe?

9. “Bought at a flea market in Belgium. Seller offered no explanation.”

10. “Found this piece in my grandmother’s formal silverware set.”

They used this to teach children how to use silverware. Basically what they did was push the food to the fork or spoon. This is called the knife-pusher.

11. I wouldn't wany anyone using this on me.

12. “Found this in the bathroom. Spent half a day figuring out what this is. My wife explained.”

This used to be sold with hair straightens. It acts as a protective glove.

13. Someone from Spanish heritage would probably know what this is.

14. “What is this wooden thing I received as a gift?”

This one is actually very nifty. It's a glass coaster that you use on a wine bottle. The middle hole goes over the top of the bottle and the side holes are used for the wine glasses.

15. “Boyfriend found this weird key in our driveway. It doesn’t belong to my neighbors.”

16. “This weird wooden thing belonged to my grandfather.”

You "beat" the laundry with this after it has been washed.

17. Is this maybe what they use to travel through time?

No! It's a treadmill. People that are recovering from an injury used this treadmill so that they have something to hold onto for more support.

18. “What kind of scissors are these? I looked on Google for 20 minutes and can’t figure it out!”
