I have bought a lot of things from AliExpress. I don’t think there has been a day in the last 5 years, where I haven’t used something that I bought there.
First of all, this is where I got my smartphone – and we all know how often we get to use those. But there are a lot of other miscellaneous items that I use, that some people might be surprised that you can get from Ali for much cheaper than in retail stores.
Our sole purpose is to help you find the best deals, with the quality of the product being the priority. We will be discussing some of the most popular products on AliExpress that include basic clothing, gadgets, household items, and a few more.
In this post we have picked products that are helping people like you solve everyday tasks, with their endless (or a single) quirks and features.
In either case, I think you will find this post helpful.
TOOTHBRUSH HEADS
Price: ~$0.75 / unit
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. Original toothbrush heads are ridiculously expensive – as if the bristles were actual minx hair. 3 For $20: what is this, a downtown Manhattan speakeasy?
The aftermarket ones are just as good for me – I’ve been putting them on my Oral-B toothbrush for at least 5 years.
T-SHIRTS
Price: $10+
An ultimate necessity, unless you live in a naturist community. AliExpress is a decent source for clothing – but you HAVE TO be very mindful about the sizing.
Asian sizes are different than European, and are very different from the US-sizes. You likely have to go 2/3 sizes up (normally, I am L, which is XXL in “AliExpress sizes”).
💡 Pro-tip: refer to the size chart in the description and measure yourself.
BREATHABLE DRESS SOCKS
Price: ~ $1.10 / pair
These cotton socks are breathable and comfortable. What can beat a comfortable pair of socks at an affordable price? A rhetorical question, of course.
- Appropriate for both all seasons
- Dense elastic to keep the socks in place
LINER ANKLE SOCKS
Price: ~ $0.37 / pair
A pretty sweet deal on a large stack of socks. This listing has 8,000+ orders and a ton of feedback.
REUSABLE SILICONE LIDS
Price: $3.18
Reusable silicone lids that come in various sizes. These can help you significantly reduce the amount of plastic – or completely stop buying saran wrap.
MELAMINE SPONGES
Price: ~$0.18 / piece
They won’t clean off the shame from what you did last night, but they can handle just about anything else.
In my experience, these are just as good as Mr. Clean’s Magic Eraser (commonly sold for ~$1.25 per eraser).
I use them for cleaning the bathtub, kitchen and bathroom sinks, aquarium glass, windows. They are pretty good at handling the incrustation on the pots and pans, especially when I accidentally leave my potatoes boiling for too long.
CABLE ORGANIZERS
Price: $0.96+
Chargers, USB cables, speakers, mouse, etc. – all of them create a mess on your desk. Working in a messy environment can affect your productivity and creates a tripping hazard – and prone dropped once can be an expensive mistake.

CABLE BAG
Price: $3.24
Get a handy cable organizer to store all your cables in one place (I uploaded a better “review” of it on my TikTok).
It is great to have them neatly stacked away: makes finding the right one much easier, and they also won’t tangle inside. Much better than just randomly having them all over the place.
