While all my friends are stocking up on Ozon and Wildberries, I remain loyal to the Chinese marketplace AliExpress. Since my first order, which I placed — hard to believe — 10 years ago, a lot has changed on the Chinese platform. Sellers with Russian warehouses have appeared, the interface has become much more convenient, and there are far fewer “clumsy” translations. But one thing hasn’t changed — prices on AliExpress. As before, they’re lower here than anywhere else. That’s why I regularly put together collections of great products from China and continue ordering them myself. In just 3 months of 2026, I bought 10 awesome gadgets and other items, and I can confidently recommend them to you.
I managed to grab all of this in just the first quarter of 2026
Brush for Cleaning Window Grooves
This little thing saved me after a long winter
Rating: 4.9
Price: from 96 ₽
During winter, I barely opened the windows in my apartment, and I know: so much grime had built up that it was scary to look at. I already solved the problem of cleaning the glass, but another issue remained — the narrow grooves where even a toothbrush can’t reach. To clean this hard-to-reach area, I bought a brush that costs around 100 rubles. And when it got warmer, it really came in handy.
Smart Jump Rope with Jump Counter
A cool jump rope that lets you relax your mind during workouts
Rating: 4.6
Price: from 878 ₽
For summer, I decided to get in shape and remembered how much I used to enjoy jumping rope. The only thing was that I constantly lost count when tracking the number of reps. But now I have a smart jump rope with a jump counter, and I’m 100% satisfied.
Best Wireless Irrigator — Mornwell
With this device, my mouth has never been cleaner
Rating: 4.6
Price: from 1,532 ₽
This year I also decided to get a good irrigator. I had never used such devices before, sticking only to a toothbrush, but after a couple of months of use, I thought: why didn’t I buy it sooner? Now I always rinse my mouth after eating, and my gums even stopped hurting. Perhaps you should give it a try too.
Over-Ear Headphones with Great Sound
The best over-ear headphones I’ve ever used
Rating: 4.8
Price: from 2,839 ₽
I spent a long time choosing over-ear headphones and couldn’t find a single model better than the UGREEN Studio Pro. Everything came together: stylish design, amazing battery life of up to 120 hours of non-stop music playback, noise cancellation mode, and LDAC codec support for lossless audio playback. For me, this is perfection — something I never expected from headphones under 3,000 rubles.
Very Comfortable Li-Ning Sneakers
Sneakers with an incredibly soft sole
Rating: 4.9
Price: from 3,651 ₽
For summer walks, I bought Li-Ning RED HARE 8 sneakers and didn’t regret it either. They have an incredibly soft sole — it feels like you’re floating above the asphalt rather than walking on it. The only thing was that I had to think a bit about the size. The product page lists US sizes, but there’s a tab to convert to Russian sizes, which makes everything fall into place.
