In China and on Chinese sites, a major Bachelor Day sale kicked off yesterday. I took part in it as a customer, but I did not start from the size of discounts (they turned out to be minimal for my basket of goods), but from my needs. That is, I just bought what I wanted for a long time, saving only 100-200 rubles from each position. I hasten to share with you five of my most interesting purchases. Discounts, if anything, are relevant until the morning of November 13.

Backpack Meizu 2nd generation
I have been looking closely at the second version of the backpack Meizu for a long time, as I was happy to demolish two first generation backpacks to the holes. However, for a long time, the new Meizu Backpack on AliExpress was not widely presented – it was sold by only a couple of sellers at a very high price. But now the situation is better: with the Chinese price on the site Meizu of 169 yuan (~ 1,550 rubles), resellers on AliExpress began to sell them for 2,000 rubles, which I think is a perfectly acceptable amount.
So why a backpack Meizu? Here's why:
- nice design – looks more expensive than it costs;
- a comfortable set of offices and their competent location;
- spacious both for every day and for short trips;
- Oxford cloth is relatively easy to clean and does not get wet.
The second generation of the backpack received an even more interesting and, in my opinion, stricter design, more thoughtful ventilation in the back and stronger shoulder straps. The latter is especially good, since in the first generation it was the straps that were the fastest to fail – all their filler for some reason moved down over time. And in the new backpack it seems to have been fixed.

Ultrasonic Toothbrush Mijia BET-C01
A year and a half ago, I switched from conventional toothbrushes to electric ones, and my first experience was the simplest Oral-B model from Lenta for some relatively little money. It works pretty well to this day, but it has one weak point – the nickel-metal hydride battery. During use, it has already lost most of its capacity, so I decided to buy something new and always with a lithium-ion battery.
My choice fell on the sub-brand product Xiaomi – Mijia BET-C01. This is the simplest electric ultrasonic brush without any 'tinsel' like Bluetooth and synchronization with a smartphone – why a toothbrush needs this, I do not understand at all. But there is a 700 mAh Li-Ion battery, a convenient travel case and two attachments included. By the way, additional attachments are inexpensive – 500 rubles for a couple of pieces.
I chose the ultrasound option out of interest to compare it to the mechanical head in my Oral-B brush. Judging by the reviews, this is a more modern and tooth-friendly technology. Well, let's try.

Powerful Baseus GaN Mini Adapter (2xUSB-C and 1xUSB-A)
I've been looking for a travel adapter for a long time, but not a simple one, but with at least two USB-C ports with USB Power Delivery support, so that one can quickly charge a MacBook from one, and from the other – iPhone. And finally I managed to find one.
Baseus GaN Mini (65W) has one more powerful USB-C (up to 65W), another less powerful USB-C (up to 30W) and one USB-A port up to 30W, which also supports such an exotic fast charging standard like Huawei SCP with 5A current.
If you connect several devices to the adapter at once, then the power per port decreases, but still remains high. For example, if you charge the MacBook and iPhone at the same time, the first will receive 45W of power, and the second will receive 18W. Considering that the included adapter for my MacBook Air is only 30W, both devices will charge quickly. If you connect three devices at the same time, then the powerful USB-C will continue to give 45 W, and the remaining two ports will have 15 W (5V / 3A) for two.
In my opinion, this adapter successfully combines power, a set of ports and supported technologies, as well as compactness. It is difficult to come up with something better for travel.

Lightning to USB-C MFI BMX Cable
There are never too many cables: one for the office, one for home, one for the car, one for the backpack, and so on. I don’t know about you, but I adhere to a similar ideology and therefore enthusiastically embraced the launch of certified MFI-Lightning / USB-C cables from third-party manufacturers. They are at least half the price of the original ones, and as a maximum, they also have a more elaborate design. And if you are not in the know, then only with such cables iPhone can it charge quickly.
My choice was a cable from Baseus' premium BMX sub-brand. It is nylon, has a reinforcement in the area of the connectors and, of course, supports fast charging via the USB Power Delivery protocol. The cables are available in two colors (gray / black and blue / gold) and two sizes (120 and 180 cm).

DVR 70mai Dash Cam Lite
The only impulse purchase from the entire collection is a car DVR. At first I liked the design, then the price, and then I remembered that lately my current recorder turns off for no reason every few days while driving. So this 70mai Dash Cam Lite was bought. I note that I haven't really read anything about him, so write in the comments if you have more information than me.
A nice bonus is the GPS-module, which is usually sold for extra money, and in honor of '11.11 'is given for free. I won't say that this was the determining factor, but it's still nice.
