One of the few observations that has been making me happy lately is how the ruble has been strengthening against the dollar. That’s because this exchange rate has a direct impact on the cost of goods on AliExpress. But here I want to talk about what people usually call small stuff. Below is a new collection of items from AliExpress. And each one costs less than 500 rubles.

Put together a new collection of all sorts of stuff

Cable Organizer for 14 Rubles

A useful and very cheap little thing

Rating: 4.8

Price: from 14 ₽

I’ll start with a trump card — an ultra-cheap cable organizer. It’s a useful thing when you have a lot of tech on your desk, and it costs (you won’t believe it) just 14 rubles. And that’s with free shipping! There are different options available, so choose whichever you like.

Self-Adhesive Hooks for 39 Rubles

Tomorrow I’ll hang one in the bathroom too

Rating: 4.8

Price: from 39 ₽

I also managed to order self-adhesive hooks. One piece costs 39 rubles, and if you order a set of 20 hooks, each one will cost just 7 rubles. Whether you need them or not is another question. I ordered them just in case. Maybe they’ll come in handy for you too.

Cool Keychain with a Slot Machine

Soon this keychain will be on my keys

Rating: 4.9

Price: from 86 ₽

It’s been a while since keychains decorated my keys. But now they will! I got myself a slot machine keychain that caught my attention with its interactivity. Everything spins and clicks, and the price is less than a hundred rubles. Will you get one too?

Hair Catcher for the Shower

Well, hopefully at least there won’t be any clogs

Rating: 5.0

Price: from 121 ₽

I was recently taking a shower and noticed that my hair started falling out. Probably stress. But the first thing I thought about wasn’t how to fight it, but about possible drain clogs. So I bought a hair catcher. It’s a cheap thing, so order one too. You might also face the same problem as me.

Affordable Anti-Stress Fidget Cube

Relieving stress so I don’t have to get another hair catcher

Rating: 4.8

Price: from 148 ₽

I decided to fight stress the old-fashioned way: I got a fidget toy. It’s an interactive toy you can spin in your hands, pressing various buttons. It really does calm you down! Too bad there’s no keychain attachment. I would’ve hung it on my keys too.

The Cheapest AAA Batteries

Grabbed them for just 8 rubles each

Rating: 5.0

Price: from 196 ₽
