What inconsequential or surprisingly good thing can I get from Aliexpress? - eviltoast

Im curious as I usually use the site very occasionally to get certain electronic parts or order from PCBway like I just picked up some cheap but infinitely better than stock gps antennas for my LoRa T beams and im about to get a set of also still cheap but much better than stock 915mhz antennas but i kinda wanna throw some other projects or weird thing in the cart with it. It doesent have to be hobby electronics with soldering and all that but bonus points if it is.

    Electronics, any kind of computer cables, switches, kvm, router, hub, mouse-wiggler etc.

    Soldering station, air filters, belts, phone chargers, usb cables. NEMA stepper motors.

    Bike lights. 18650 Batteries. Drones. NFC tags. Light table. Sun glasses.

    IR Thermometer, blood oxygen tester.

    I even bought socks there, quite ok and dirt cheap!

    Reading glasses.

    I’d avoid :

    Fountain pens (they’re “ok” but not Lamy Safari quality), wrist watches suck badly. Small scissors.

    I buy so much on AliExpress 😅
