Sales on Ali are great, but you don’t always want to wait for them, especially when you need something here and now. Recently, I picked up a whole bunch of useful stuff on AliExpress, and I bought everything at regular price, without coupons or hunting for discounts. And you know what — I didn’t regret it once, the prices were already reasonable. Below I’ve gathered gadgets under 2000 rubles that I actually bought myself.
These products are worth their money — you can buy them even without sales
Inflatable Travel Pillow
A cool pillow, just what you need for a daytime nap
I bought the FlexTail Zero without high expectations — it’s an inflatable pillow, what could be special about it? But it really came through: it inflates without a pump and without the agony of blowing until you get dizzy. When folded, it weighs practically nothing — just toss it in your backpack and forget about it. On a plane, in a car, or even for a nap at work during lunch, it supports your neck well and doesn’t flatten out. Deflate it, roll it up, put it in a pocket. Now I travel only with it.

Silicone Strap for CMF Watch
A utilitarian strap that fits any watch
I was replacing the strap on my watch and picked up this silicone, sporty one as well. And I made the right call: it fits snugly, doesn’t slide around, and at the gym or on a run you completely forget about it. The silicone is pleasant, not stiff, and doesn’t smell like some cheap ones do. By the way, it fits not only the CMF Watch Pro 2 and 3, but also the Galaxy Watch — on mine it fit like it was made for it. For the money, it’s an excellent replacement for the stock strap. You can grab a couple of colors right away and switch them to match your mood.

Android TV Box for Your Television
A solid Android box, affordable yet reliable
I got the X96Q TV box so I wouldn’t have to replace my working TV with a new smart one. And you know what — it’s the best decision for the money. The box isn’t perfect, don’t expect miracles, but for this price tag it works impressively well: movies, series, the 2026 World Cup without lag or freezes. 2 GB of RAM, 16 GB for the system, Android 10 on board — install whatever you want. Essentially, I turned my old TV into a smart one for pennies. A new smart TV would have cost tens of times more for the same thing.
Price: 1996 rubles
Car Charger for Cigarette Lighter with 4 USB Ports
A convenient charger that makes any car more practical
Now this is what I call a thing. A Baseus 160W charger, four USB Type-C ports — plug it into the cigarette lighter and charge absolutely everything at once: phone, tablet, earbuds, passenger’s GPS. It’s compact, doesn’t stick into the cup holder, and doesn’t take up space. What’s important, it barely heats up even under full load and has surge protection, so you don’t have to worry about your devices on the road. If there’s a constant war in your car over the single charging port, this cigarette lighter charger solves the problem once and for all.

Affordable Wireless Earbuds for Your Phone
Top among affordable earbuds, highly recommended
I was looking for affordable everyday earbuds for my phone and picked up the Ugreen HiTune P3. For the price, they were a pleasant surprise. Lightweight, they sit securely in your ears and don’t fall out while walking, and they sound quite decent for entry-level — bass is there, highs aren’t cut off. Comfortable to wear all day, your ears don’t get tired. If you don’t want to spend a fortune on earbuds and just need them to sound good and fit comfortably, this is exactly your option. I bought them and have no regrets.
Price: 1679 rubles
Spray Mop for Floor Cleaning
The mop is really simple and reliable. If you love cleanliness, you’ll appreciate it
This spray mop is my household crush. The construction isn’t tank-grade, don’t expect miracles of durability, but for everyday use you can’t come up with anything more convenient. You pour water right into the mop, press the trigger and it sprays onto the floor — no buckets, no wringing out rags.
