People like seeing things that other people like to buy. I often go through the products that are purchased through my affiliate links, because it gives me a lot of insight on what the buyers want.

In this post you fill find the best-selling things that you can get on AliExpress for $1 or less.

Feel like spending money, but don’t wanna spend too much? We got you 👉😉👉

Best-Selling 1 Dollar Goodies on AliExpress

BOTTLE OPENER RINGS FOR A LAZY EVENING

The first item is this beer opener ring.

It is possibly popular for people who, with respect to efficiency, want to exclude an action of having to reach for the beer AND the beer opener, and would like to have this bottle opener that you can wear on your finger for convenience at all times.

WALL HOOK

A magnetic wall hook for a TV remote or whatever else that needs to be kept in one place, but always gets lost.

PINS TO ADD TO YOUR COLLECTION

The most popular pin / brooch listing on AliExpress – with a whopping 4,000+ items sold!

P.S.: There is a ton (possibly, quite literally) of other options that you can see here.

EARRINGS

The third item are these earrings.

They have been purchased over 2,000 times, which tells me they are probably fashionable? I don’t know. They look cool, I guess.

LUMINESCENT SHOELACES FOR A BETTER VISIBILITY AT NIGHT

Desperate times call for desperate measures, so if you want to entertain yourself by looking at your feet, here are luminescent shoelaces.

They glow in dark, so you can put them on and sneak out without turning the lights on.

MAGNETS FOR SPACE NERDS AND FREE SPIRITS

If you like science, then – in the name of astronomy – we found space pins with 7 different planets + the sun and the moon.

They can be a good reminder that if you don’t stop eating all the time, your stomach will get its own orbit 🤨

SPACE PATCHES IN CASE SPACE MAGNETS WEREN’T ENOUGH

The item number 10 are these space-related embroidery patches. They are iron-on patches, so you don’t have to sew them on.

There are 46 different designs to pick from, and some of them are actually quite cool.

A lot more patches can be found here.

REUSABLE STRAW + CLEANING BRUSH

Being environmentally-friendly is cool.

Not only because it reduces the amount of pollution (plastic straws are 11th most found trash item in the oceans and they should be outright banned), but also because it keeps your wallet safe – the less you consume, the less you spend: as simple as that.

LETTER OPENER

The most popular letter opener / box cutter on AliExpress with a combined 4,000+ orders over several listings. This one is the cheapest one I could locate.

PENS THAT WANT TO BE MERMAIDS

The fifth item, believe it or not, pens.

These are quite odd-looking, in my humble opinion, but apparently there are people (hundreds over the several available listings) that will disagree with me. But, believe it or not, I am not responsible for their money (and I would argue that neither are they 😂).

P.S.: This is the cheapest listing that I see. There are ones with more orders, but this is the cheapest “per-pen” one that I was able to find.

LANYARD

Any self-respecting office worker (or maybe you always wanted a dog, but your life choices prevented you from having one) needs one of these retractable lanyards. Super convenient, and keeps you from always losing your cards.

DUMBBELL BRACELET

This item has no noticeable real use case as far as functionality goes, but if you need something other than a muscle shirt to say “look at me, I’m into fitness”, here is a dumbbell bracelet 🙂

ARTIFICIAL SUCCULENT PLANTS

Skip out on the mess of having a garden while enjoying all of the benefits with these artificial succulent plants.

Bring a flourish of outdoor charm to your indoor life with this artificial plant pot. No watering, just periodic cleaning to keep them fresh!

RUBBER CHICKEN

A timeless clucking classic. Not much else needs to be sad. I’m getting 3 10 of these.
