This is going to be a harsh comment but it seems to be the consensus in the comments; that first box was a total rip off and that seller should be ashamed of themselves!! That is absolutely disgusting to charge someone that amount for what they sent. 🤮 I’m upset for you! Thank you for providing us with honest reviews and great content regardless of the slimy sellers. My condolences on Paco’s passing. 💐 🐾 💕

[@janiceechebarria1711]

Some people have no shame in ripping people off. I would be sure to leave a review. These kinds of sellers should not be allowed to have a shop. Charging that much for Dollar Tree products would never be worth the scoop, even if it was done with a shovel!

[@TheCheapChick]

I totally agree! Lol

[@ResinAlchemist2024]

💯% Agree with your comment.

[@lorisanford1967]

Yes and they will continue to sell garbage like that unless the customers start complaining

[@sakura-rm8bq]

That's disappointing. Etsy isn't what it use to be for sure. Years ago it was mostly handmade and vintage, but now there are a lot of sellers that re-sell things from Alibaba and Wish type sites. Definitely still good things on there, but a lot of low quality too. Hope you're doing okay. ❤

[@TheCheapChick]

I'm glad I now know that. I'll stick to my Poshmark ones.

[@shadycnetwork]

Sakura when was Etsy ever good? Even when It was just homemade crap that same stuff your 5-year-old could make LOL

[@mariehooper3102]

I don't shop at stay because they have high prices on their stuff. I heard that they are closing up and trying to get their inventory down. I miss Paco,I still look for him on his own little bed. He was so sweet. Love you💖

[@MelodyJoy716]

Omg Melissa… that first bag… 😬😬😬 maybe equaled $10 max… i would be embarrassed to send something like that for almost $50! Yikes… that second 2 boxes wasn’t great either. You usually have awesome luck getting valuable mystery boxes. Guess we can’t have it great all the time huh 😂

[@TheCheapChick]

Yes you totally can't win them all. Lol

[@josierose8889]

The amount of fees on etsy now, the seller probably got 10!

[@spoonangelmakes42]

That is such a shame about the Etsy mystery boxes Melissa. I really cannot understand why you received cheap mass produced tat from China, instead of some lovely handmade goodies which is what Etsy should be about. They give the rest of us genuine crafters and artists a bad name. There are so many really good sellers who create beautiful handmade items that are definitely worth every penny and NOT mass produced. I am an Etsy seller myself and I create all sorts of handmade goodies, from bunting to junk journaling supplies. I repurpose, up-cycle old vintage books, ephemera, fabrics, lace, ribbons and costume jewellery into journals or things to go into journals. I also create digital journal kits so people can download the images, print them out and make them into their own journals or journal inserts. One of my best sellers is a small mystery bundle made up of lots of vintage journalling goodies. I make them up in such a way that within the parcel there are more little parcels or envelopes or little boxes all made by me using old book pages, vintage ephemera etc. They are so popular many people come back to buy more. Sadly, yes there are people who just sell mass produced plastic rubbish, but with a little research they are very easy to spot a mile off. I buy all my birthday & Christmas gifts from Etsy and have never been disappointed. It is also nice knowing that I am supporting a small private business like my own. Please don't let these awful mystery boxes put you off Etsy as with a little checking you will find the real craft artistic sellers are still here (0; xxx

[@speedysmoke]

All of it looked like Dollar Tree/store to me, even 5 Below or Temu. I was on Etsy site 1 time, closed it right out. 😢 I don't blame you for being disappointed

[@jesusdisciple4216]

i hope your doing ok Melissa, i feel your pain, I will be in your shoes soon enough, my fur boy has 3- 6 months to live he has lymphoma cancer in his neck. he is 17 yrs old. I'm devastated. my prayers are with you and rob.😭🐶🐕🦮

I am so glad that Bunny talked about you in her videos. You are one of my new favorites.

[@hollydepardieu4399]

Your have such an amazing outlook. I've seem most of those items at the Dollar Store. It's sad how people seem to think it's ok to charge this much for Dollar Store items. Hugs

[@H_Labs]

I have to say, when it comes to Etsy mystery boxes, I've only had luck with Halloween / Horror themed ones! Definitely a hit or miss! 😄

[@KrisK]

Your Poshmark mystery boxes are great. The one my daughter ordered for me I got about a week ago,it was packed full,loved it. Happy Memorial Day. Have a great weekend.👍

[@TheCheapChick]

I'm so happy you loved it. Happy memorial day.

[@cherriberri7161]

Hi Melissa, these are my favorite unboxings I really like watching you open mystery boxes. Honestly the $45 box wasn’t worth it at all! The other two were meh. But I enjoy just seeing you and your great fun personality. 💖

[@gretchensmusicstudio]

I think that there’s funny sleeve things that you’ve got in one of the boxes might be driving sleeves. Some people cover their arms when they’re driving to protect from sun. I’m not in that camp but I know some people are

[@georginaohara42]

As we say in Scotland, that first bag was full of guff LOL Sending prayers of healing 🙏🏻🫶🏻

[@jessashley8810]

I love how you always have a positive attitude in your videos even when the items are not the greatest. I honestly think they could have done better when they created those mystery boxes.

[@dottytyrrell5662]

Both were disappointing. Love you reaction! Some of the stuff came from dollar tree and temu. I enjoy your videos.

[@diannehebert481]

The purple arm sleeves are really nice 👍

Oh nooo! I rush home nightly to see Paco❤. Tell me I misunderstood a comment I just read from a may 19th post.

[@tammywood7946]

Those seller's should be ashamed of themselves.....love you Melissa i appreciate all the things you do for your viewers ❤

[@marlenewalker9515]

Good afternoon Melissa!!! The first box is cute, but not worth what you paid for. I do like the purple theme though too. Out of the boxes, they are better then the very first box. I still don't think they are worth $18 though. Thank you so much for sharing with us, and I hope you have a Blessed day!!!!

[@LaceyNatasha41]

I have an idea🤔 how's about you get some of that old school freeze dried candy!!!!! I Have been wanting to try it so bad just haven't pulled that lever yet! Lol ❤❤❤

Hi Melissa you have made it hun I've seen 2 videos reviewing your mystery boxes it was positive 🎉 yay your famous now lol 🎉

That first box had dollar store items and was certainly not worth the money! Definitely one to avoid

So horrible! I was thinking the same thing.

Yes these were not good.

[@cerahlynn7287]

I said that as she took out the first item! Just saw that at Dollar Tree yesterday!!

I went to buy a junk drawer box and in seconds they were all sold out!

[@deedrahsimmons7545]

😢 yeah that first box was junk. I'd be ashamed to sell that for $35!! And the boxes were a bit better as far as what you got for the $. Bummer.

I will always give you a thumbs up because your delivery is so cheering even when, like today, when,as we say this side of the pond, " you woz dun." If they gave you a new website on that first one, I think I would have to leave a review. 😅😊❤❤

With Etsy it depends on what you regularly search for and click on. I see a few mass produced things, but mostly it's handmade items that I get recommended.

The things you were getting from the Tik Tok scoops for $35 were AMAZING 🤩! These, not so much.

[@GarysAngel2014]

Can’t bring myself to watch your videos since learning of pacos passing feels like I lost him too as I’m sure everyone on here feels that way as well.

[@TracyBroschak-ch9bp]

Those sleeve things I think are used for protecting your clothes. Say you have long sleeves on and are doing things like baking, gardening or something that can dirty your clothes, you put the sleeves on and they help keeping your clothes clean.

[@TheCheapChick]

Oh wow! Thanks for the info!

Your enthusiasm when pulling out the items from the first bag lol was waiting for the ugh ugh sound. For what u paid for that compared to the last two boxes, the last two was well better. . Hope you’re all coping ok n sending love your way. No need to reply Lovely. You’ve enough going on. 💓🙏❣

[@SD-xt9gu]

I enjoy your realism and realist reactions. In my opinion, none of those boxes were worth what you paid. It's was all stuff from the dollar store, but at least now you know. Thank you for showing us because now we know to stay clear of those shops. I enjoy your content.....thank you! 😀

all of that can be bought at the dollar store-I agree with you-nope not worth it! Now you know! lol

[@jodyabc123]

Shipping is a large factor. When shipping anything over 16 ounces via USPS $8.80 is the least it would cost. When I ship all the way across the country it’s closer to $12. Also, that seller is probably not on there anymore because those look like made in China items which are not allowed on Etsy.

[@GreenSaverVal]

What’s sad is that Etsy used to be for crafters and home made items .. now people sell dollar store items on there .. what happened to the original purpose of that site !

[@sherrie553]

If people are buying the dollar store items then thats why Etsy has changed as sellers found it easy money

[@positivethinking4333]

what is in your shirt?🤔

[@vanessaD86]

yay more videos 😁

[@TheCheapChick]

Woohoo!

[@everogersdownunder1242]

I guess people do this as a business and want to make a profit on the boxes they do, as this is their main income. Some face masks are about $8-$20 plus each. Depends how much it all cost and what their shipping cost them and then their profit. The cost of living is huge right now and items that used to be cheap aren't anymore. So maybe that also factors into it. Also, I've seen masses of videos that say these crystal scoops are a massive scam. My comment mainly refers to the last 2 boxes 😊😊

[@jen7916]

While neither of them were particularly exciting, the second seller was better, especially if your someone that does a home spa day or is into skincare. I don’t think I would do anymore from Etsy though
