Four days from now, the countdown timers start appearing on product pages. The 11.11 sale is when many shoppers go looking for tech products under $50, and November in the United States tends to build towards Black Friday, so the next few weeks are when deal tags multiply.
The trick is knowing which of those small, useful gadgets are worth a second look before the rush.
11.11 sale picks under $50
Gadinsider has compiled six of them. The list moves from hair styling to home safety and winter comfort, with TYMO and Wavytalk on the styling side, Tuffenough for outdoor lighting and WINHL for personal heating.
Several listings carry Amazon's Choice or limited time deal labels, according to the information supplied, and one sits in a pest-control best-seller category.
1. TYMO CURLPRO automatic rotating curling iron
The TYMO CURLPRO is a 1-inch ceramic curling iron that rotates automatically at the push of a button. TYMO aims it at beginners who want beach waves without winding hair by hand. The listing is marked as 'Amazon's Choice' and a limited-time deal.

- Hair guide: 0.3-inch slot to keep hair close to the barrel
- Ionic: 500 million negative ions per TYMO

Performance
The automatic rotation is where the barrel carries out the winding, thus ensuring that the curls are more consistent, especially for beginners in styling. Anti-tangling is supposed to reverse the barrel when the hair gets entangled. This is according to TYMO. The seven-day curl and the ionic technology features belong to the seller only.
Pros
- Automatic rotation for beginners
- Anti-tangle mechanism and cool-touch design, per TYMO
- Ceramic barrel with tourmaline coating
