An Apple Watch for £1.53 including post, oh boy!



I dashed into this listing because I was sure the watch part would be amazing.



You can probably download a watch face to make your real Apple Watch look like this.

Couple of requests -

1 - Has anyone had any luck buying wool / cashmere, etc? My wife knits and wants to try some cheap wool from Ali, in case it's better than some of the cheap stuff we can get here

2 - I'm trying to buy some classic Wu-Tang t-shirts for my daughter, ideally for aged 2, 3 and 4 so she always has one for a while. It's incredibly difficult to find them, and when you do they're really expensive. I can't seem to find any on Ali express, but maybe someone else knows that magic search terms?

Cheers

Highly recommend always upgrading to epacket delivery for an additional ~$1.80. Good way to get your stuff in 2 weeks instead of 8 for minimal cost.

You'd probably have better luck using a print on demand site like redbubble.com. They have a lot of bootleg designs and you can get your chosen design printed on anything, I'm sure they do kids clothing.

They also now have A-line dresses. I have a few in my cart. But yes, they do have children's clothes. I think the artist has to choose which clothing you can put the design on.

If none of the artists have put up a WuTang design for children's shirts, the poster asking can set themselves up as an artist and print it from there.

I feel like I remember someone else commenting at some point about yarn and stuff and said it was pretty hit or miss especially with color and quality of the spin? I might not be remembering correctly.

I haven't actually ordered any yarn, but I have a hard time imagining it would be better than Michaels-level yarn here. It's gonna be all acrylic either way. Imo the best cheap, washable yarn (in stores here) is Berroco Vintage, a wool/acrylic blend. If anyone has bought yarn on aliexpress, I'm curious, though.

Honestly it seems fun but also seems like they took the first prototype and went with that without any revisions to the original model.

If they smoothed out the handle and instead of having “in” sides on the sides and instead only had “out” sides I would even consider it (not really because gently caress spending money on a cup but you know)

Goddamnit! "Hot Chick in feather bikini and Thigh-highs poking a Swan" is taking for-loving-ever to work on. It will be hideous, though, since some of the bead colors their color matching program chose are unfortunate. The beaded version also includes jpeg artifacts!

I have to write a freebie review for this thing. Like, kinda in depth, according to the directions.

Thanks to whomever recommended the unlabeled ray-bans or whatever they were, the acetate sunglasses. Mine came and are quite nice and feel very solid.

That was me I think. I still have all three pairs and they're all in good shape. They might not be as good as the actual thing but they're certainly better than any $20 sunglasses I'd get here.

Speaking of packaging I love some of the ingenuity that goes into it with AE type stuff. A CPU in an envelope with a single stamp? Hell yeah. Meanwhile crap from elsewhere comes with cubic metres of bubble wrap and packing peanuts, all I think about when looking at it is yep, that's why it cost me $20 for the delivery.

I ordered a bunch of lab glassware and it came in a monstrosity made of insulation and packing tape.

Fine for small components or tools, but a flexible phone case arrived looking more like a pretzel. :v:
