Hello, my dear Aliholics!
I hope everyone is ready for the holiday season.
I sure am looking forward to having some extra days off to relax after the very productive
year!
I picked some cool cheap products: we will see 15 things that you can entertain yourself
with for $5 or less.
If you have a hard time following my accent, make sure to turn the subtitles on.
What better way to show off your art history knowledge and classiness than wearing famous
painting socks?
You can get the Mona Lisa, Van Gogh’s starry night, the scream, the sculpture of David
and more.
Now tell that nosy baby boomer that your art degree is useless.
If you are not great at telling jokes or stories but want to be the life of the party?
This is a small in a literal sense investment that’s guaranteed to make you popular among
your friends.
This mini bottle opener keychain is sure to come in handy anywhere drinking is involved.
This probably won’t arrive in time for Christmas, but you can surprise your dog-loving friends
probably sometime in May with one of these cute dog pendants.
Or keep it for yourself and wear it to match with your dog - I know I would if there was
a chihuahua option.
Otherwise there is a pretty good selection of breeds you can choose from like beagle,
rottweiler, and corgi.
Sequins (I hope I’m saying this correctly) aren’t just for party dresses.
Give your home a sparkly touch with one of these sequin pillows.
And they’re reversible so they are super fun to play with.
Seriously, reversible sequins are like the real life equivalent of those dumb clicking
websites (like the pet doge site).
AliExpress is a great source for the do-it-yourself enthusiasts who like to experiment with simple
Arduino-based projects.
There are tons of cheap boards with various functions that can work for a lot of different
products.
Building these is a lot of fun and if you want to pick up a new productive hobby that
does not cost a lot of money and ends up with something useful, check out these boards - there
is way too many to choose from.
Upgrade your bath experience with a bath bomb.
They are fun to watch ‘explode’, but they also smell good, and we all know that baths
are super lame without bubbles.
Plus these ones are much cheaper than what you’d get at a bodycare shop.
After viewing the comments I verified that at least 70% of people are reporting that
their skin did not melt off, which I think is a good sign.
If you’re into precious stones, Aliexpress has a big selection of rings for reasonable
prices (most of the rings are about $5 each).
They’re perfect for creating that boho/vintage stacked look if that’s your aesthetic of
choice.
I am going to leave a link to the store that carries a lot of good-looking ones.
Who else loves stickers?
I have already accumulated a pretty good sticker selection from Aliexpress that we’ve used
to decorate laptops, motorcycles, and random household objects.
You can find all sorts of packs with tons of stickers for only a few dollars.
There’s everything from Sailor Moon to Rick & Morty to random galaxy designs.
They are pretty durable and waterproof.
No one will ever lose you with one of these glow in the dark baseball caps.
One of these will surely be a conversation starter at a party - and they cost less than
the price of the entrance cover, which in Vancouver is pretty inconceivable.
They’re also good if you want to avoid getting hit by a car at night.
Many people choose to not buy clothing items from AliExpress, and while I understand the
reasoning behind this I can not agree with them.
I myself have bought a tone of nice quality clothing and after understanding how the sizing
works I am rarely left disappointed.
As long as you check the feedback and especially the pictures left by other buyers, it’s
hard to buy something that will be different from the expectations, as long as you keep
them reasonable.
If you liked the mini bottle opener, you are probably going to love this screwdriver set.
There are 25 different types, and the whole set is as big as a phone case.
It might not be something that you’d want to carry around with you all the time, but
it would be great for small electronics repairs, to keep instead of a giant toolcase in a smaller
home, or possibly even for work (depending on your job).
As they say, fake it until you make it.
If you don’t want to take a second mortgage on your home to buy an iPhone, you can always
get this realistic-looking calculator to troll your friends with.
Once the cover flips, it can perform the basic counting functions that we no longer can or
want to do in our head.
If you work or game on a desktop computer, a cool mousepad is a nice touch to have on
your desk.
With the prevailence of the laser-type over the ball-based ones they are less relevant,
but I still use one since I have the glass desk.
These pads have an interesting moon print and come in a variety of colours and sizes.
How sleek and futuristic do these gradient iPhone cases look?
If you did take the second mortgage - in which case my condolences - they fit the iPhone
5, 5s, 6, 6s, 7 and 8.
And according to the seller and the seller, they are hard and strong and protect your
love machine better.
