It seems to pull from taobao, might just be a middleman site. Seems kinda sketchy though, the free shipping is extended to extremely large things like arcade cabinets too

e:nm it shows up on the listings but the fine print (in chinese) is they only cover up to 10kg?

10kg comes out to about 22lbs, right? That's not bad! I've never had a package heavier than 3 lbs.

Taobao has a better clothing selection than AE, so I've always wanted to try ordering a few things, but the cost/complexity of acquiring a shipping agent has always deterred me and sent me to a thrift store or clearance rack instead. I'll have to check this out 👀

I'm going to post some categories of items instead of links, because I'm phone posting, too. :( Might be a little stereotypical with my gender specific items - sorry, but that's how impersonal gift guides end up!

Mom/Older Feminine Relative: Scarves. Wall decals. Decorative pillow cases. Tote bags that fold into flowers. Nail stamp kits. Lighted phone camera lens attachment with extra lens styles. Novelty Umbrella or parasol. Hats. Inflatable bath pillow.

Dad/Older Masculine Relative: Inexpensive smart watch (only if he is a small techie, not a REALLY BIG gadget head). Car doodads (phone/GPS holders for windshields or cup holders or whatever, fisheye mirror attachment for blind spots). Bulk flashlights. Fishing gear as mentioned up thread. Novelty instruments (desk sized). Digital clock/thermometer. My dad loves those men's rings that are black with a stripe of metal on either side? I'll have to link it later, but that's a big hit. Phone wallet. Elegant looking pen. Smart light bulbs.

Young Adult Masculine Relative: Cool hats (snap back, beanie). Funny or colorful socks. Fidget cubes - more mature than a spinner! Touch screen gloves. Novelty instruments again. Leathercraft tool.

Young adult feminine relative: Same as older tbh, but add cute stickers and office supplies. Small pouches for makeup and change. Cute accessories that she'd like, but might not buy for herself.

Children: Disney knockoffs 👀

I am buying a bunch of crazy socks off Ali for a friend of mine for Christmas. Here's hoping $1/pair socks from China don't turn out to be made out of 90% plastic like some of the shirts people here have received :ohdear:

On the plus side, if they turn out to be garbage I'll have wasted less than :10bux: total

All of the crazy socks I've purchased have been made of normal sock material! But if they're labeled women's socks, then be careful, because they run small.

How was the sizing?

I went with the size chart and I was fine. It's a little stretchy. The pattern didn't really suit my torso (it was too long, note the bagginess on the chest) but it wasn't disastrous.

Here's some items I've been happy with recently!


Black harem pants: I'm 155cm and I'll need to cut the cords on the legs so they don't drag on the ground, but otherwise I love these.

how are the pockets on the harem pants, killingyouguy!?

I discovered some costume jewelry/fashion wholesalers in my city, so I've been cutting back on my AE orders (similar prices, but I can see them before I buy them and feel less guilty about shipping? I'm there!), but I recently ordered this set of coasters.

It's charming but the legs are attached to a coaster, so you can really only use 3/5 coasters regularly!

If you search for cotton or modal fabric and make sure the reviews are okay, it's really not that bad? The fit can be a little weird (the bottom part connecting the front and back is usually a bit shorter and wider than pairs from, say, Target), but I've never had issues with breathability.

I'm not sure what's cute to you, and I don't want to inadvertently share my booty secrets (thot patrol is off duty), but searching with fabric keywords should get you where you want to be :) :tutbutt:

you can attach a pin to denim or canvas, or glue it to a magnet and look at it and say "ha, cute!"
they make bags specifically to show off pin collections, but they're very tacky. but denim jackets are having a real moment in fashion right now!

I've had mixed luck with Ali shirts. Some are that lovely, unbreathable plastic, some are made of a cheap fabric that pills really easily, and some are really nice quality. I think it's just a gamble.

There are a few signs, like customer pictures and reviews (you can often at least tell from the pictures if it's plastic) or the advertised fabric.

If it's "chiffon" or 100% polyester, it's probably the unbreathable material, especially if it's a print.
Elastane or spandex with a polyester blend tends to be swimsuit feeling material.

Look for polycotton blends, rayon blends (tends to pill), and cotton. They may be using a blend different from the one advertised, but it will at least be close - and wearable!
