I've ordered a bunch this year. Some stuff I've gotten that I like:

Carbon bottle cages
Top tube bags
Hand pumps. I ordered 2, one of them worked.. but still significantly cheaper than a brand-name one. Also got a handheld pressure gauge for checking the pressure after pumping on the road
Glasses—Maybe dangerous in a crash.

Some stuff I'm waiting on:

Cycling computer (iGPSport BSC200). Wanted super basic functionality and am expecting it to be crap. Just a bit concerned with the data handling in terms of privacy.
Velocity, cadence, HR sensors. WAY cheaper than from Garmin/Wahoo, we'll see if they work well.

What are your favorites? Or just cheap accessories in general?

I got a bell, a front light and a back light. Not expensive at all, and exactly the style I wanted.

Front/rear lights I always find a bit concerning because the claims on brightness often isn't true so you don't know what you'll get. But also man, are lights expensive sometimes.
