Let’s get real. You probably don’t need beer socks, a burrito blanket, or a taxidermy deer head in your day-to-day activities.

I don’t think it comes as a surprise, but AliExpress is a giant marketplace. There are tons of good/normal products like electronics, clothing and home decor items.

The beauty of AliExpress is that it has a ton of odd things, and it is known for its cheap prices. This E-commerce platform doesn’t produce its own products, and instead it relies on independent small businesses in China and South-East Asia.

And since there are a lot of sellers, and listing prices are significantly lower than on places like, say, Amazon, and the warehousing in most cases is handled by the sellers, there are things that you are less likely to find anywhere else.

But, as in every family and in every city, there is a strange side to it. What are the weirdest things on AliExpress that you can buy? Let’s find out!

You probably don’t need a Squidward doormat, a bob wig for your dog, or a whack-a-mole hanger for your day-to-day activities.

But, after all, why shouldn’t you have them?

WEIRD ALIEXPRESS PRODUCTS

Whack-a-mole hanger

Price: $3

A hanger for keys/reusable face masks/light jackets/anything else, where a groundhog pops up while it’s in use.

I have one for my dog’s leash, and it’s amazing. There are squirrels, cats, bears and ladybug options available 😃

Chicken clutch

Price: $17.50

A handbag shaped as a chicken. It’s actually functional, even despite how it looks.

Comes with a strap and can also be used as a shoulder bag.

How it has over a 1,000+ orders, is beyond me.

Desiccant pouch bag

Price: $7

Everyone loves those weird pouches you find in the toe of your new shoes, so why not use one as a phone carried with this simulated desiccant bag.

All of the fashion of a desiccant pouch, now with added pockets!

Flaming Hot Throw Blanket

Price: $9+

This is either a way to keep your virginity, or instantly lose it to a person with a very weird amazing taste.

Gear shifter hoodie

Price: $1.75

I bet you never worried about your gear shifter being cold and lonely in your car at night, you heartless monster!

I hope that’s about to change, when you see this glorious item.

10,000+ orders and counting!

‘MAKE IT RAIN’ Money pistol

Price: $13

A perfect metaphor of what it feels like shopping on AliExpress, especially during the 11.11 sale.

Beer socks

Price: $7

You don’t have to be a beer enthusiast to appreciate these socks, but it definitely helps.

This listing has a few other designs that are and are not beer-related.

Burrito blanket

Price: $11+

If you have a toddler, or if you identify as a burrito (don’t we all on Monday mornings), this pita blanket will bring you one step closer to help your outer self reflect your inner world.

Fun fact: “burrito” means “little donkey” in Spanish. Which is what you would feel like, if you don’t subscribe to our weekly product newsletter.

Ducks With Helmets

Price: $2

Everyone needs a travel buddy, and there is no cuter travel buddy than this car duck, who will happily go with you to work or across the country without complaint.

Even better, safety is at the forefront of Car Duck’s mind, as he has a collection of adorable helmets.

These cabinet handles

Price: $2.75

One man’s “creepy” is another man’s classy.

I have to admit, I am very tempted.

Breaking Bad Dog Raincoat

Price: $12+

I am the one who barks

Dog bob wig

Price: $4.50

Ok, I don’t really know what to say about this, but it seems to me that a description is not really required.

“Banksy” figurines

Price: $12+

Resin-made figurines of Banksy paintings. They are hand-painted, and there are 10 different options.

Whether you are a into art or not, people would be marveling at how creative at decorating your own living space with style you are.

Turkey hat

Price: $4

Every Thanksgiving used to be ruined by awkward small talk with extended family that ended in a knock-down, drag-out fight. It was a fact of nature, like ‘what goes up must come down’, or that construction workers catcall anything with a pulse that walks past them.

Not anymore. With this turkey hat, everyone at Thanksgiving dinner will be too distracted by the thing on your head to notice their differences in political opinions.

TAXIDERMY DEER TROPHY (it’s vegan!)

Price: $35

Definitely in poor taste.

However, no deer were harmed in the process – it’s made out of resin, and the only suffering creatures are the ones who are going to have to look at it.

PIG PILLOW

Price: $12+ (depending on size)

AVOCADO PHONE CASE + SOCKET

Price: $2.23

iPhone cases with avocados on them that have an avocado pop socket. What not to like?

Unless you don’t like the color green, or avocadoes, in which case there is a lemon, peach, watermelon and a strawberry designs. You’ve got to like at least one of those, right?

REAL GHILLIE SUIT

Price: $46

Weird factor? 10/10

Functionality? Also 10/10.

I mean, it’s a fully functioning ghillie suit. Scare your neighbours? Check. Hunt? Check. Blend in with the rest of the weird stuff you bought? Probably also check.

Might be best to stay away further from the campfire. With how warm it will keep you, it shouldn’t be a problem.

Goose socks

Price: $2.70

Quack!

Another funny AliExpress item: socks that look like a goose head.

GLASS TEA INFUSER WITH A CORK PLUG

Price: $1.81

A stylish tea infuser.

I think the glass ones are better than the metal (glass doesn’t get oxidized and there is less doubts of what material it is), and it also looks better IMO.

The diameter is 1″ so it shouldn’t be that hard to clean it.

AUX PHONE ATTACHMENT

Price: $5

Plug this bad boy into your phone’s speaker outlet and instantly be transported back to a simpler time, where people did not have equal rights, financial instability plagued the Earth, and phones were wired…

All those things are still happening except for wired phones? Oh. Well… have fun with a wired phone!

SAFETY VEST FOR YOUR CHICKEN

Price: $4.60

A high-vis vest for your chickens. This way they are going to be safe crossing the road.

AND A HELMET (SAFETY FIRST!)

Price: $2

And for the most hot-headed chickens, a helmet will be necessary.
