Checking on Amazon, a product like this sells for $7.99, giving you about $6 in profit per sale. You can bundle this with other products, or sell five of them in a bundle, and people would love to buy them.

5. Colourful Hourglass Sand Timer

While many people think that sand timers are merely toys, you can make a lot of money from them if you position the product differently. For example, you can say that it helps children to time their toothbrushing activities. 

Reasons to Sell:

• Costs only $1.40
• You have zero competition 
• There is a wide variety of product designs in AliExpress
• Many suppliers at AliExpress offer this for as low as $0.99. 

On Amazon, products like this are a bit more sophisticated, and that is why they are expensive. The typical price is $16.99, so you can really compete against these sellers if reach as many people as you can. 

6. Dandruff Removal Scalp Hair Comb

Dandruff is more common than you think. While most people look for medical remedies, you can position this product as a quick solution while the medication is still working on its magic. Dandruff does not go away so suddenly, so a comb like this can help remove these nasty flakes for the time being. 

Reasons to Sell:

• Costs only $1.48
• The competition is low; only 52 shops carry this product
• The comb comes in many variants; some are small enough to fit in a pocket

This is typically sold on Amazon for $6.99, giving you at least $4 in gross profit margins. Most sellers have over 400 ratings, most of which are positive. 

7. Adhesive Silicone Nipple Covers

Reasons to Sell:

• Made of high-quality silicone; will not cause allergies
• Lightweight and invisible 
• Waterproof

It is easy to position this product, and you can sell it for as much as $26. There are suppliers in AliExpress who sell this for as low as $0.99. In addition, you can also find many variations of these products from different suppliers—for example, they come in different skin tones.

8. Double Ended Face Mask Applicator

The face mask applicator is a great addition to your store if you are in the beauty niche. My suggestion is for you to sell it in a bundle, as selling it by piece will not make sense for you or the consumer. 

Reasons to Sell:

• Costs only $1.61
• More than a million people for audience targeting for ads
• Comes in many colors and designs

The product typically sells for $4.99 on Amazon, so the profit is low. However, you can increase your average order value if you bundle it as a group or with different products.

My recommendation is to sell this product in a big bundle. The more nail art there is, the more enticing it is to buy. It is also a good idea to create a mix-and-match offer in your store where the customer can add several designs of their choice and get a discount if they meet a certain amount.

The mold is ideal only if your dropshipping store is in the kitchen niche. While people may not need many of these, you can sell them in pairs so if one breaks, the customer has a spare.

Reasons to Sell: 

• Made from durable silicone
• It is a great add-on for the kitchen

You will find it easier to sell an item like this with a video. You must demonstrate how difficult it is to gather boiled eggs from a pot. With this device, all you need to do is lift the handle and you can prevent the eggs from breaking. Best of all, you can also avoid getting scorched. 

13. Anti-Blue Light Reading Glasses

A lot of people spend so much time on their screens. What they do not know is that the light coming from the phone or screen can damage the eyes. This product is the solution to this problem. 

Reasons to Sell: 

• The product costs only $1.01
• Lots of colors and designs to choose from
• You can sell this for as much as $19

This product is not just a scrubber but also a soap dispenser. It has a small container where you can put liquid soap. At the top is a button you can push to dispense the soap. 

15. Easter Bunny Cutlery Pouch Bags

This is kitchen décor and nothing more, but then it is also a good product to sell because it is cute. The good thing about it is that you can sell it in a bundle, like by fours or by sixes. 

Reasons to Sell 

• Zero competition 
• The product costs only $1.38
• Lots of designs on AliExpress

I cannot find a product exactly like this on Amazon, but similar ones cost $12. With a capital of less than $2, you can surely sell it for way less than $12 and still make a profit. I do not recommend that you sell it as a single item. It is better to sell several of them in a bundle.
