20 cool things from Aliexpress

Aliexpress has long established itself as a platform where you can profitably purchase almost anything, regardless of the type and purpose of the desired item. Regularly making selections and ratings on a variety of topics, we often came across interesting and useful things that we wanted to tell readers about, but this was not entirely appropriate within the framework of articles devoted to some specific product categories. And when there were enough such entertaining things for a separate material, we decided to put them together.

The main criteria for getting into the TOP were not only the unique characteristics of the items, but also their originality. That is, the rating included for the most part those things that, in principle, are either rarely found on the shelves of an ordinary store, or they are disproportionately expensive there. For convenience, we divided all the finds into 4 categories according to their purpose.

In addition, traditionally, when compiling a list of the best cool things with Aliexpress, the following parameters were taken into account:

• originality and creativity of the product;
• quality of workmanship and reliability in operation;
• reputation and rating of the seller;
• customer reviews.

Cool things with AliExpress for entertainment

In this category, we have collected those products that, although they do not always carry really useful functions, are perfect for getting away from everyday life and will look good as a gift.

5 Magnetic pocket chess

Fans of intellectual entertainment will love this compact chess/checkers set.The miniature size allows you to take it with you on the road without any additional loads (weight is only about 100 grams with a thickness of 4 mm), and thanks to the magnetic base, unfinished games can be safely interrupted and put on pause - the figures will remain in place as long as any long time. True, it will take some time for visual addiction - since the magnets are flat, the players see each other's figures upside down, which is not very comfortable at first.

4 Adhesive slate board

Chalkboards are considered one of the main interior design trends of recent years. They organically fit into any room and, in addition to the aesthetic function, carry a lot of practical benefits. It is convenient to place notes or reminders on such a sticker (from a shopping list to some important date), to convey information to a loved one in an original way and just draw (a good alternative to wallpaper for novice artists). This model is easily attached to many types of surfaces and helps to transform the space of the apartment with minimal effort.

3 Temporary tattoos

Sometimes a person really wants to decorate his body with a drawing, but it is rather difficult to decide on such a serious step as a real tattoo, and often there is no certainty that the applied image will not get bored after a couple of years. In such a situation, you can try to make a temporary tattoo - it is quite inexpensive, does not last long and is completely safe, so in which case an unsuccessful experiment will not become fatal.According to its technology, this drawing resembles cool translations from childhood (an image on a thin film that is carefully applied to the skin), but it is made much more qualitatively and looks more realistic. With proper care, the tattoo will remain intact for 15-30 days.

2 miniature quadcopter

We think everyone has at least a vague idea of ​​​​what a quadrocopter looks like (drone, drone, and a bunch of synonymous names). However, few people have ever managed to directly control it live - professional aircraft of this type are too expensive. For those who want to bridge this gap and take on the challenge of piloting a quadcopter in person, there is a great alternative available in the form of a miniature version of the unmanned drone. Naturally, the small size imposes a lot of restrictions on the functionality, but the main thing is that it flies. And quite smartly, at least it will fit to hunt for your pet.

1 3D pen

A 3D pen is a tool that allows you to literally draw in the air. That is, in fact, we are talking about creating full-fledged three-dimensional figures, which you can not only look at, but also personally touch. Fantastic, you say, but in fact, technology in this area has advanced so much that this kind of gadgets are no longer a curiosity, but are available everywhere and at quite reasonable prices. Such pens use special plastic threads as a kind of “ink” (after heating, they are given absolutely any shape).The device will be a great gift, especially for children - a 3D pen will allow them to realize the most daring artistic experiments

Cool and useful things from Aliexpress

In this section, we have included the most interesting products that perform a specific function and are of real benefit.

5 Hanging Waste Basket

Cleaning trash from the table is not the most pleasant task. That is why a cool and useful thing has appeared on Aliexpress that facilitates this process. A plastic basket in the shape of a semicircle is attached directly to the countertop. When someone shakes off the crumbs, they do not fall on the floor, but fall into the bin. The dimensions of the basket are 29*16*6.5 cm, it is suitable for countertops up to 1.5 cm thick. In order not to wash the item after filling, you can put a garbage bag inside.

AliExpress users praise the cool shopping cart for its bright design and practicality. It is easy to hang and take off. The plastic is thick and durable, the packaging is reliable, usually parcels arrive in a couple of weeks. There are 3 color options in the assortment, buyers often order several pieces at once. For example, you can use one bin for dry waste and another for wet waste that needs to be thrown out soon. The disadvantages include only weak fastenings.

4 Turbo lighter

Have you often found yourself in a situation where adverse weather conditions (rain, wind, etc.) did not allow you to use an ordinary lighter or matches? For those who answered yes to this question, we recommend that you pay attention to this little thing. The special design of the three nozzles keeps the flame, despite any third-party obstacles. Such a burner will be useful not only for smokers, but also for lovers of hiking and traveling, as it will greatly facilitate the process of making a fire. Please note that for safety reasons, the lighter is supplied empty (without gas) and must first be filled before use.

3 Scissors with laser pointer

The tool is for the case when you need to cut something as accurately as possible. It will especially appeal to people with so-called "crooked hands", that is, those who are not able to cut a long, even line on their own. The scope of such a design is also quite extensive: from small sewing work to full participation in repairs (for example, cutting the same wallpaper). If desired, the laser sight can be removed and operated without it.

2 Backpack with built-in solar battery

In today's world, dotted with various gadgets and technologies, the problem of recharging portable devices is more relevant than ever. Someone chooses devices with a large battery capacity, someone carries power banks with them, but there are alternatives. A backpack with a solar panel is one of them. This is a great tool for travel and outdoor enthusiasts.In addition, it is quite roomy (the declared volume is 45 liters), has many pockets and is made to last (moderately hard and dense). If necessary, the panel can be unfastened. Of course, the battery power is very limited, but, in which case, you definitely won’t be completely without energy.

1 Headphone splitter

Do you know the situation when you wanted to listen to music or watch a movie together from one device? Usually it turns out that one earpiece is left for yourself, and the second, respectively, is intended for a partner. There is not too much pleasure from such listening: the sound does not seem very saturated, and the surroundings are often full of extraneous noise. A simple and convenient gadget – a headphone splitter – cardinally solves this problem. It is suitable for any device with a standard audio jack and will allow you to comfortably listen to music together with another person.

Cool gadgets from Aliexpress

In this category, we sent all small electronics and other things, somehow connected with modern technologies.

5 Brush washing machine

Makeup artists, like many girls, will appreciate this cool machine. It has a simple design: you need to pour clean water and detergent into the bowl, insert it into the makeup brush holder, then press the button. The inside of the device begins to rotate, converting the liquid into an effective cleansing foam. There are 8 nozzles of different sizes, so the cool device is suitable for any brushes. The machine requires two AA batteries to operate.During the ordering process, you can choose the color of the item - red, black or white.

The cool product received mostly positive reviews on AliExpress. Buyers believe that all characteristics correspond to those declared. A useful machine quickly cleans natural and synthetic pile, management is not difficult. Usually the whole procedure takes a few minutes, 10 seconds for each makeup brush. The biggest downside to this product was the long delivery time.

4 cooling cup

In the heat, there is not always time to wait for your favorite drinks to cool. This cool cup from Aliexpress will be a great solution. It is connected to a 220 V network, the power of the device reaches 28 watts. On sale there are versions with an adapter for EU and US sockets, you can also choose the color of the case. It is very easy to use the thing: you just need to put a jar inside or pour out a drink, close the lid tightly and press the button. In just half an hour, a useful device will cool water or lemonade to 12 ° Celsius, which is 6 times faster than in the refrigerator. The vessel will be able to keep the temperature of drinks within 0-7 °.

Most buyers liked this cool thing, the reviews praise the build quality and speed of work. The interior of the product is made of aluminium. The cup is large enough to fit glass bottles and cans without any problems. The only negative is that the device works only from the network, it is not suitable for field conditions.

3 Insoles heated

Are your feet constantly cold in winter? Tired of wearing three pairs of socks and still feeling uncomfortable and cold? Heated insoles can save you from such problems once and for all. The heating elements installed in them are connected via a cable to any device via a USB output. The best option is charging from a power bank (the insoles can be used anywhere with it), but power from the network is also available (the adapter is included) and other devices. According to customer reviews, this little thing shows itself perfectly on winter fishing, when you have to sit almost motionless for many hours.

2 Heated Gloves

Suppose that we have already warmed our feet with the help of the insoles mentioned earlier, but what to do with our hands? Again, there is always an option to buy super-warm gloves or mittens with a thick fur (down) lining, but the mobility of the fingers in them will be minimal. If you still need one, then modern technology will come to your rescue, namely USB-heated gloves. They work by means of small heating plates and can be powered by any device that has a USB output (it is best to use a power bank). The list of possible applications is very extensive: from hunting to the office (if the official dates of the heating season did not coincide with the real state of affairs outside the window).

1 EAGET flash drive with advanced security

EAGET is just a godsend for those who are obsessed with secrecy and ensuring the integrity of information.The flash drive is equipped with a reliable security system in the form of a fingerprint scanner, which means that only the owner of the gadget can access the files stored on it. The device has a bunch of flexible settings, can create several memory sectors (public and secret), add up to six users, and also has a high read / write speed and a stylish metal case. And all this at an affordable price, which is absolutely not commensurate with the level of protection that forever saves you from the problems associated with the leakage of important information or unique data.

Cool things with Aliexpress for the kitchen

The name of the category speaks for itself. Each of the following things will help make cooking a little easier and faster.

5 Mug for lazy people

Various types of cups and other containers for drinks are one of the most popular types of souvenirs. As a rule, an unusual shape or a cool drawing becomes the highlight of such a gift, but you won’t surprise anyone with them for a long time. The so-called "lazy mug" is a completely different matter - a 400 ml bowl is equipped with a small plastic screw, which automatically stirs the contents of the container when a button is pressed. At first glance, this thing may seem strange and useless, but you get used to it very quickly and after a couple of weeks of use you can’t imagine how you managed without it before. The mug should especially appeal to lovers of instant coffee, cocoa and other similar drinks (in the form of powder substances in sachets), as it allows you not to take a teaspoon with you.

4 Sushi making machine

Japanese cuisine has long conquered the hearts of Russians. At the forefront of a wide variety of dishes from this eastern country are, of course, sushi. Those who liked the rolls and who want to try to cook them on their own at home should pay attention to this device. The design is a kind of syringe, in both halves of which you need to put rice and other ingredients. Then all the contents are fixed and tightly compressed to a certain consistency, after which they are laid out on a nori sheet. Thus, you can twist Japanese rolls in literally 15-20 minutes.

3 Mold for baking chips in the microwave

There are many different recipes and methods for making chips at home on the network. Some of them are simpler, some are more difficult, but all of them include the procedure for obligatory turning over the chopped potatoes, otherwise the chips will simply burn. This matter, in general, is quite simple, but tedious, especially if there is a lot of product (to get a golden crust, you need to dry the slices evenly, which is often done manually). This form allows you to forget about the problem described above - blanks for chips are stacked vertically in it and, therefore, no additional human intervention is required.

2 Measuring spoon with scales and display

They say that the whole secret of cooking lies in skillful hands and the exact following of the recipe.And just the observance of the second point is the weak point of many people who prefer to determine the mass “by eye”. A measuring spoon will help you find out the weight of bulk and liquid products (within 0.1 grams). Such a tool would be a great gift for any hostess. In addition, such a device is useful for measuring the correct dosage of drugs. Please note that the battery (round 3V) is not included in the kit and will have to be purchased separately.

1 Vacuum product sealer

One of the key causes of food spoilage in natural conditions is oxygen, which is found in abundance almost anywhere. Its presence creates an ideal environment for the emergence and reproduction of a wide variety of bacteria, which is why food quickly deteriorates even in the refrigerator. Thanks to the vacuum packaging technology, in which a special apparatus pumps out all the air, the standard shelf life of products can be increased to several years. After all, microbes, mold and other parasites simply cannot survive without oxygen. If desired, such a device is easy to find in a regular home appliance store, but it will cost much more.
