I first discovered the Chinese Singles’ Day sales on the Aliexpress website.
Turns out that shopping version of this Chinese holiday, that was originally intended to celebrate the happiness of living the single life for young Chinese people, was invented by the giant retail company Alibaba {Aliexpress’s big sister}, and commercially became the Chinese version of the American “Cyber Monday” {which will be on November 28th this year, in case you were wondering}.
It’s true that since then many shopping websites adopted this so called holiday, but I remain faithful to the original, after all, tradition is tradition 😉
On Aliexpress there’s a crazy variety of items with discounts ranging between 20% – 90%, and since they post the items that will be on sale a week in advance, I decided to check in advance and fill up my cart with the things I liked most out of the options available.
These are my favorite items that will be on sale on the Chinese Singles’ Day :
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10
1 – Black velvet shoes with gold bees – Okay, I know that these shoes are designed for men {although I didn’t understand this when I first saw them}. But look at them – they are so pretty! The velvet and the bees made me fall in love and they have a wide range of sizes that guarantees I’ll find my huge size even on Aliexpress 🙂
2 – Set of oval brushes with a stand – I bought my first oval brush from Aliexpress and I use it until today, so this set which includes 10 brushes in different sizes and a stand is definitely on my wish list this year.
3 – Pleather bag with hearts – I don’t know why, but I really feel like I need this bag in my closet {btw – it comes in pink and gray, too}.
4 – Smart fitness bracelet – I’ve planned on getting a watch with a steps counter a long time already, and this price definitely makes it worth the try!
5 – Smartphone stand for the car – this nice stand attaches to the air conditioner vents, so it also doesn’t interfere with your field of vision and keeps your phone cool.
6 – iPhone case – a beautiful marble case for you iPhone, should I say more? {it also comes in a blue-ish, black and red-ish marble look}.
7 – Mermaid blanket – a “cozy” wool blanket that I want to spend this winter in with a warm cup of hot cocoa in my hand.
8 – Oversize sweatshirt – love the combination between the oversize fit and hearts in one item.
9 – Cat T-shirt dress – I just have to have this crazy print in my closet.
10 – Inspiring poster – as a daily reminder 😉
