Last time we looked at a selection of small things from AliExpress that change your life — those turned out to be quite predictable but nice items. Today is a different story: I dug through thousands of products from China and selected ten truly unique finds. Each item is either something you won’t find in regular stores, or something that costs significantly less on AliExpress than anywhere else. Grab them while there are no holidays and the marketplace delivers packages very quickly!
These items take a very long time to find on AliExpress. But they’re worth it
Bicycle Repair Tool Kit
Just one device that contains a multitude of wrenches
A bicycle tool kit in regular stores costs about three times more for the same set of functions. Hex keys, screwdrivers, chain breaker, tire levers — the Rockbros model contains everything in one body, fits in your pocket, and weighs very little. The brand has long established itself in the cycling market as one that doesn’t fall apart after the first roadside repair. One such tool covers most situations a regular cyclist encounters — from tightening a bolt to saving a chain in the middle of a forest.
Price: from 370 rubles
Smart Sink Faucet with Display and Temperature Sensor
The faucet shows temperature and is conveniently controlled with a side handle
This is one of those cases where AliExpress saves the day: in regular plumbing stores, a faucet with a temperature sensor is almost impossible to find, and if you do come across one, it’s priced like a small refrigerator. The body features a screen showing water temperature, a side handle for adjustment, and a stylish design that fits almost any modern interior. Ratings for the model are consistently high, and reviews are detailed. If your smart home is already equipped with Wi-Fi outlets and a robot vacuum, it’s time to upgrade the bathroom too.
Price: 4,860 rubles
Wired Earphones with Remote Control for iPhone
If you’re tired of AirPods, you can try wired ones from UGREEN
Wired earphones with a remote are a real lifesaver when you don’t want to depend on battery life and Bluetooth. The UGREEN headset has a remote control compatible with iPhone and iPod, includes a microphone for calls, and the ear tips do a decent job blocking ambient noise. They fit snugly in the ear and don’t fall out during running or active walking. The brand is well-known, and the build quality matches — the cable doesn’t fray after a month, and the plug doesn’t fall apart after a couple of drops.
Price: 1,280 rubles
Compact 64 GB MP3 Player for Listening to Music Offline
The player is a great replacement for your phone and streaming subscriptions
Music service subscriptions get more expensive every year, and half your favorite tracks keep disappearing from the catalog anyway. It makes sense that a regular MP3 player is once again a relevant device. Load your library onto the player — and listen to music without internet, without ads, and without monthly charges. The player is compact, fits in a jeans pocket, holds its charge for a long time, and the controls are simple. On AliExpress, these cost several times less than in regular retail, with the same sound quality.
Price: from 1,900 rubles
Portable Gaming Console for Emulators and Retro Games
The best retro console is available at a good price only on AliExpress
If playing on your phone has gotten boring, a retro console from Miyoo will save the day. This handheld is one of the best on the market: compact body, physical buttons, and a decent-sized screen. You can install any emulator and play everything — from NES and Sega to PSP, reliving the good old days. Bonus — it also works as a music and video player. A memory card is included; all you need to do is fill it with games from your childhood.
Price: 4,860 rubles
Corner Bathroom Shelf — No Drilling Required
Just a shelf, but it’s so useful
