🐻 Cute Bear Mechanical Pencil Set (2pcs)
I ordered this adorable set mainly because of the cute bear design—yes, I’m a sucker for stationery with character, and it’s a top-seller for a reason. I needed something fun to add to my workspace, and these pencils definitely deliver on the aesthetics.
The writing quality is surprisingly smooth for a novelty item. I didn’t expect much more than looks, but the lead doesn’t skip, and the grip is quite comfortable. It feels sturdy and not like one of those super cheap giveaway pens. Perfect for journaling or notes.
Pros: – Super cute and makes you smile every time you use it – Writes smoothly – Comfortable grip
Cons: – The lead isn’t replaceable (fixed core) – Mainly aesthetic, not suitable for intense writing sessions
For the price (under $1 per pen), it’s unbeatable compared to something similar on Amazon or in-store in the US, which would run around $4–6 per piece. It exceeded my expectations in both quality and charm.
US $0.99

🧠 17pcs Infinity Pencil Set with Nib Eraser
This set caught my attention because of the “no sharpening, no ink” concept. I wanted something mess-free and eco-friendly for sketching and quick notes. You get 17 pieces including nibs and an eraser, which felt like a solid deal.
The writing experience is fascinating—it really feels like a pencil but doesn’t smudge and leaves no shavings. The eraser actually works quite well too. I gave a few to coworkers, and now everyone’s hooked.
Pros: – Long-lasting nibs – Eraser is functional – Great for everyday use
Cons: – A bit light in the hand – Writing feels slightly metallic
In the US, a similar set could cost over $15. I paid under $5. Worth it 100%.
US $3.39

✍️ 3pcs Mechanical Pencils + 48pcs 2B Lead
I chose this for pure functionality. I sketch a lot, and I go through lead like crazy. This set includes 3 solid pencils and 48 refills—practical and budget-friendly.
The pencils feel ergonomic and are slightly rubberized for grip. The 2B lead writes dark, perfect for notes or shading. Each pencil has a different pastel tone, which is a nice touch.
Pros: – Tons of refills – Excellent for artists or students – Strong, smooth 2B lead
Cons: – Basic packaging – No built-in eraser
At $2.50 for everything, it beats even Walmart’s house brands. It’s a steal and yes, totally met my expectations.

🔁 6pcs Infinity Pencils (Kawaii Style)
I went for this one because I wanted to share some of these cool pencils with friends. The pack of 6 was just the right size. I wasn’t expecting too much durability, but these surprised me.
They write instantly on contact, no pressure needed. The nibs haven’t worn down even after a week of daily scribbling. Also, they’re super lightweight and great for kids.
Pros: – Durable nibs – Cute colors and design – No ink smudges
Cons: – Not ideal for fine-line writing – One pen came without a nib (but the seller refunded instantly)
These are selling for $1–$1.20 per pencil, versus $3–$5 for similar “endless pencils” in the US. Great bang for the buck.
US $2.32

🌈 1pc Colorful Unlimited Writing Pencil
This one was pure curiosity. A magic pencil that doesn’t need ink or sharpening? Count me in. It came in a vibrant design that actually shifts slightly in color depending on the angle.
It writes in a dark gray tone—somewhere between graphite and pen ink—and is shockingly smooth. My only complaint is the lack of grip, but otherwise, it’s super fun and practical.
Pros: – Fun to use and unique – Great for doodles and signatures – Durable nib
Cons: – Not refillable – Slippery barrel
Price in the US for a similar novelty pencil is around $4–5. I paid $0.99. Totally satisfied.
US $0.99

🖊 4pcs Automatic Kawaii Mechanical Pencils
These were bought for their fun design and the promise of refillable use. As a fan of mechanical pencils, I loved the idea of getting four at once, all with a cute pastel vibe.
The click mechanism is solid, and the pencils are lightweight but don’t feel cheap. Great for school or office notes. Refills slide in easily, and the tips don’t wobble.
Pros: – Great variety – Solid build – Comfortable to write with
Cons: – No erasers – Very short refills included
Even with short refills, this was a better deal than any Target 4-pack. Paid $2.80 for 4 pencils, compared to $8–10 locally. Would buy again.
US $0.99

🧽 Second 17pcs Infinity Pencil Set (with Nibs and Eraser)
This set is nearly identical to the earlier one, but with slightly different designs. I got it as a backup for the office drawer. The performance was consistent—nibs write smooth, and erasers work.
Compared to similar options sold at Staples or Amazon, where you’re lucky to get 2–3 pencils at $10, this 17-pack at around $4 is unbeatable.
Pros: – Good value – Ideal for bulk gifting – No sharpening ever
Cons: – Not suited for detailed sketching – Can feel a bit slippery
Meets expectations again, and it’s cool to have a reliable backup set.
US $3.59

🍭 Lollipop Building Block Crayon Set
I couldn’t resist the fun factor on this one. It’s basically crayon sticks designed to look like candy. Perfect gift for nieces or just to keep around the desk for doodles.
Each piece is stackable, and the colors are vibrant. They’re better for coloring than writing, but the novelty is strong here. They don’t break easily either, which is a win.
Pros: – Super cute – Decent coloring quality – Doesn’t snap easily
Cons: – Not erasable – Not good for writing
Great gift item. Cost me $1.70. Similar themed sets in US toy stores would be at least $6–8.
US $0.99

🎨 Faber Castell Erasable Plastic Crayons (12/24 Colors)
This was probably the most “serious” buy. I trust Faber Castell as a brand, and I needed crayons for a kids’ project. These were washable, non-toxic, and erasable—checked all boxes.
The colors are bold, erase cleanly, and wash off most surfaces without issue. Even the plastic case is sturdy.
Pros: – High-quality pigment – Safe for kids – Erases surprisingly well
Cons: – Some colors lighter than expected – Price higher than other AliExpress items
Paid around $6.50 for the 24-pack. In US stores, you’re looking at $14–18. Definitely met expectations.
US $2.5

✏️ HB Eternal Pencil Set (Korean Style)
I bought this on a whim as a backup for my planner and notetaking. The design is minimal and “Korean stationery aesthetic” to the max. Looks clean and sleek.
Writes very similar to a #2 HB pencil but never needs sharpening. The nib is sturdy and works well even on rougher paper. Lightweight but durable.
Pros: – Professional look – Writes clean and dark – Super lightweight
Cons: – No eraser – Doesn’t come with extra nibs
Got this set for under $1.50. Comparable sets in US online stores go for $5–7. Happy with the purchase.
US $0.99
✅ Final Verdict
I went into this AliExpress haul expecting half gimmicks and half OK quality, but honestly, I’m impressed. Every item either met or exceeded my expectations. Most of these would cost 3–5x more in the US. Shipping ranged from 12–18 days, which I found acceptable given the prices.
Would I recommend these products? Absolutely—especially the no-sharpen pencils and mechanical lead sets. Will I buy more? Already have another cart ready.
AliExpress nailed it on variety, price, and surprisingly decent quality.
