Five Below Haul: Testing Purchases & Other Store Finds!

[@TheCrust]

Bailey is the best co-reviewer on KZbin!

[@LibraAllWoman]

ABSOLUTELY! 😄

[@loriki8766]

For $5, I can buy a little stick mixer that will work in any cup. Sometimes they're sold as milk frothers.

[@urs-]

👍🏼👍🏼. I got a hand held frother from Amazon that I love. I only buy things that are easy to clean….lol

[@jtodd0221]

I got one that’s rechargeable, doesn’t even need batteries any more lol.

[@Tsch6373]

A mini whisk does the same thing. You actually get a little exercise. Not everything needs a battery.

[@loriki8766]

@@Tsch6373 You are correct. However I have neither the time nor the joint health nor the inclination to do that much whisking. Sometimes a battery makes the morning better.

[@corvettesbme]

My cats would have a field day with that humidifier!UPDATE! my cats don't like the steam coming out of top and just stare at it! But I like it!

[@imzadi83fanvids7]

That was my first thought too, LOL. I just have the one cat but I can't help wondering what Belle would think of it. Plus I like that it's so small. Nothing like hauling around a huge jug of water when your sick amr? Also wondering how she'd react to that spider. Of course it would probably be thirty seconds of fun and then complete boredom.

[@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley]

​@@imzadi83fanvids7Or, she leaps three miles into the air whe she sees the spider and you can have fun peeling your cat off the ceiling 😅. As one who grew up with dogs, seeing the way scared cats react to things is quite funny :)

[@FAB13]

😂

[@Kayla_Kimbrell]

I love when Bailey is featured in videos. I think she appreciated it this time too.

[@crazychick]

I love old bailey it makes my heart happy to see her playing so hard and not letting you have it! ❤

[@alvinclose8181]

And round 1 goes to Bailey

[@Freakinreviews]

Haha yeah, we play a lot of tug-of-war, but she definitely had the upper hand... or paw, I should say!

[@applegal3058]

Yes, Bailey always steals the show!

[@Timmycoo]

I would just buy a 5-10 dollar electric milk frother stick instead of that Hershey's mixer lol. And that humidifier is actually a pretty good deal. I remember those things ages ago in the mall for like at least $30.

[@luciferfaust]

The mixer is cute and multi purpose, and good for people like me.with weak hands

[@trublgrl]

Aww, that was both cute and heartbreaking when Bailey was plainly disturbed by the spider toy and went off to play with her squeaker toy to self-soothe. Good Girl!

[@CanItAlready]

It sounded like she was playing with her new toy while he was watching the spider scoot around.

[@Prnencetti]

Hi, I’ve had that charging bracelet for my phone before and I think it’s an OK bracelet. It’s not very good if you’re gonna keep taking it on and off but if you’re going away on an airplane trip and you don’t wanna take your long cables out of your suitcase, that is something you can easily snap on and snap off and have with you on the airplane tray in your seat. If you’re gonna be sitting there for a long time on an airplane flight, that is one of the chargers, you’re gonna wanna get so that you’re never without power. Also, at five below, they do have power banks, so you can get the bracelet and then get the power bank along with the bracelet. That’s something I would give to a kid maybe with their first phone you told them to keep their expensive cable that came with their phone on their nightstand next to their bed and then give them the bracelet and the five dollar power bank. They’re good to go for the day set up for a young teenager. Just getting their first First phone in my opinion

[@sweethaven5]

10:30 Poor Bailey ❤ She was saying I’ve had enough of your shenanigans, you say off my floor😂❤

[@dragonspirit996]

The humidifier is really cool! Sadly I live in Florida and we do not need any more humidity in our houses lol

[@joncue0304]

Bailey is the best!!! If you ever decide to re-home her, I'm guessing there are about 769K people that would adopt her, lol.

[@pqr6028]

The $5 Himalayan salt lamp is also good. Have had mine for 3 years and use it for hours each day with no problems.

[@incheck11]

Bailey definitely was loving the minty fresh!

[@Freakinreviews]

She was! It took her two days to completely destroy it!

[@whoopsydaisy6389]

I'm here watching a second time just to see Bailey win at tug-o-war 😍

[@davidmlong63]

most of that stuff, is what I call "New Landfill", Something given as a gift when you can not think of anything good, and you just have to give something, it is then re-gifted, until someone donates it to a thrift store, still unopened.

[@heatherangel9700]

Love this! 5 below is one of my favorite stores! Never pass by one without feeling compelled to pop in and take a peek.

[@jer103]

3:43 That humidifier would work much better as a diffuser for essential oils than a humidifier, for how much water it holds. It would probably sell better if it was packaged and labeled that way.

[@thaismatsumoto]

I want to add a little food coloring to change the effect.

[@grifftrain]

Lol @ Bailey barking at the spider!! I love Bailey

[@gblan]

I have a machine like that Hershey's one but mine works on any size cup. I call it a spoon.

[@Tsch6373]

I call mine a whisk

[@oliviarucker5013]

As a non apple user, that bracelet would actually be helpful. Most people don't have a charger for my phone if I need it. I also like the look of it!

[@ThatSoddingGamer]

That mixer seems like it would be a pain to clean. Wouldn't you have to open it up and remove the stem and blades? I suppose you could use a cup of soapy water instead, scrub it clean, and rinse it?

[@shannondore]

Awww poor Bailey. I don't blame her for not liking the spider, it was a bit creepy. And I really love that humidifier. Stopping by Five below tomorrow and picking one up.😊

[@KP-ty9yl]

that is a great deal, they cost more on Amazon. Could use the humidity right now too :P

[@AliP1970]

I *almost* went into 5 Below today, but put it off till I have a shopping partner. You were doing a great job lifting weights there James! 😂😂 Something tells me that you would be a lot of fun to hang out with! 💜💜💜

[@PeggyParrish-sg1eu]

Omg!! That was my go to drawing as a kid too James!!!lol😂

[@catw6998]

The light up drawing board looks interesting. Thinking it might make a decent gift to give to the Toys For Tots this year.

[@TheBlueArcher]

Man, the first time I went to a dollar store and the first time I went into a five b below in the states, I was super surprised at how much selection and value were in those stores compared to what we have here in canadialand... Every time i cross the border now I always try to stop by and stock up on stuff.

[@hectorg5809]

Just make sure it's a real dollar store like Dollar Tree and not Dollar General

[@KP-ty9yl]

does customs think you're weird bringing that stuff back 😂

[@autobotjazz1972]

Pretty much what i'd expect from products from a discount shop like 5 below. the items work as stated but don't expect too much.

[@WarzolJR]

have you ever reviewed diffusers? Specifically waterless diffusers? Curious which ones have te most fragrance coverage for the money. Really like the glade one but I'd need 2 or 3 of them to fill my studio apartment.

[@despicablememe4140]

The best thing ive got from 5 below are wireless ear buds they arent the best sound quality but not bad. Theyve lasted me 2 years and last atleast 10 hours at full charge. The base stays charged for about 3 days. I use them at work for listening to podcasts and stuff.

[@Suebe1962]

A couple years ago, we got a Five Below store in my town. It's kind of fun to go there. I always find something that I probably don't need. But I did buy hand weights for a lot cheaper than the regular stores. I love the old-fashioned candy that I used to buy as a kid. I'm 61 now. 😁

[@SpykersB]

They sell people too? 😂🤣🍻

[@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley]

​@@SpykersB😂😂😂 I wouldn't have caught the typo had I not read your comment. I don't want them to change it now.

[@sonialinsey8083]

Yeah 5 below is the only place you can get weird old candy and I love it.

[@SpykersB]

@@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley dang it she did, lol. Best typo I’ve seen in a long time i laughed so hard. 🍻

[@MrsRen]

Five below also has an amazing small plush section and they have licensed characters often

[@shannondore]

They have the best selection of plushies. My cat doesn't like cat toys, she likes big plushie stuffed animals that she can carry around like babies. I get her a new baby from FB every Christmas. She has the whole cast of Secret Life of Pets and Sponge Bob.😆

[@Phantom_Fireside]

My local 5 below recently had HP plushies

[@scbbc81]

My spouse got me a watercolor kit with 100 colors and one kinda crappy small brush (but we have our own brushes), the colors are great though. Some watercolor paper which is okay - it could be whiter and have to wait longer to apply more color of what was just colored than the more expensive stuff. But for $5 each I am completely happy. Also my grand father had something similar (to the hersheys thing) that he got at a thrift store. It was held by hand but it could do a full sized glass. It would have worked fine on my 8oz glasses and my larger ones which I think are pints. I have been trying to figure out the name of that thing forever so I could get one. What I do find odd though is I have never seen Hershey's in powdered form - only NesQuick and maybe Olvaltine but I think the main flavor in the is something other than chocolate, I never liked it as a kid. Unless it's specifically for hot chocolate. But i have never seen hot chocolate mix by Hersheys - Only Swiss Miss, Nestle, Land O Lakes and store brands commonly.

[@abbshurz]

Love the, “unless you’re cheap AND patient”, at 2:24.

[@pattymls7384]

I just said to my husband last night, “ I’m looking for a cheap humidifier with a cool optical illusion trick. Where can I find one?” 😬

[@gzkarr3730]

14:50 Bailey - The star of the show!

[@karleedu]

My cat would love the spider! Love watching Bailey play!!!

[@tonymanzo3766]

I buy the large phone cases when available, the nylon case gives me about 6 months of use before the Velcro flap wear out or the loop that goes through the belt tears. Also get the charging cables 4 or 6 foot c or lightning, the expensive ones break in the same spot, where it plugs into the phone. Last time I was at a five below none of the stuff they had advertised was unboxed, still wrapped up on skids. I’ll try again this week. Store was what I wanted when I was 13 or 14, I bought the neon rope and repaired a clock that the glass tube broke, best 5 bucks I spent there.

[@DariaAmato-wz2xg]

Actual cocoa cups are only about 4 or 5 ounces. Here in US mega sized drinks are the abnormal. Standard tea cup is 4 oz, standard coffee cup should be 5 -6 oz, juice should only be 4 oz (120 ml)

[@gone4days956]

Lol @ the Hershey’s mixer

[@jamesturner44]

I think a milk frother would be way better than that giant Hersheys contraption. Temu has them for under a dollar.

[@yetinother]

I said almost the same thing to reply to a different comment, milk frother is the way to go

[@shannondore]

I love my milk frother and use it all the time. When I saw this Hersheys thing I thought that's basically a milk frother encased in a big plastic box.

[@kathi16323]

Love Bailey!!! The barking at the spider got my pup all excited as did the squeeze toy...my baby will be 3 on Nov 27th. How old is Bailey now?

[@sonialinsey8083]

I’m glad my dog’s on a walk right now, no need to get him wound up with that squeaking.

[@Armando_Aranda]

Do we test to see if everything is $5.00 and below?

[@dawnsarrach6612]

It's not

[@trailsend7877]

I loved the humidifier. When I was a little kid, I would often go to the Aquarium in Boston, my favorite thing was the pedulum, and the water draw, that allowed you to adjust it and change the effect. I always loved it and caused me to become a seeker of knowledge. Thanks for the memories.

[@thaismatsumoto]

I'm wondering if you could add a drop of food coloring to change the color..

[@bellam31]

It’s probably instinctual for Bailey not to chase a spider, especially a big one with a red back.

[@yeeyeeass]

My guy lists a ton of things that he didn't buy that sounded more interesting than some of what he had! If you do go back, please consider getting and reviewing them. I'd love to see if that blendjet knock off is any good.

[@AdamsWorlds]

Lovely seeing Bailey such a good girl and adorable.

[@Tsch6373]

Got the charger bracelet a couple of years ago. Works well when I'm on my ebike. Its battery has a USB charging port.

[@Olina10009]

I bought the personal blender from 5 below - good for powder/cold water mixing but not ice or fruit. It’s usb rechargeable.

[@michaeldequatro1012]

Thanks for the reviews James. I could really use a thing like the cable bracelet. I'm always some place where they have charging outlets for phones and I never have a cable. That's a great idea.

[@NickRatRadio]

Is it easy to clean the humidifier? every darn humidifier i buy is a pain to clean and gets moldy inside.

[@rhondamastropoalo2237]

Wonder if you could scent the water with essential oil’s on the humidifier?

[@Telcomvic]

Bailey is such a cute pupper! You ought to test out more doggy toys.

[@Mike-42069]

Great as always. Thank you!

[@beniaminv]

Would regular highlighters work on that drawing board? I’m actually kinda curious if that would work and also if you run out of ink in those markers they provide do they have refills or specific brand marker they want you to use?

[@Rattrap007]

Love Bailey. The chihuahua needs some love too. Hope they can be in some videos too.

[@krireshin]

I got one of the charging bracelets a few years ago. I lost it, but it did work great as long as I didn't need to use whatever I was charging while it was charging. In general Five Below has some cool stuff. I always find good gifts there

[@BeckyA59]

I saw a 5 Below when I was in Louisiana a couple weeks ago, I really wanted to check it out but didn't have time. Maybe they'll come to my area. Lol Hershey's drink mixer - basically a spoon 😂

[@ShintogaDeathAngel]

Lol, yeah - a spoon isn’t always the best for mixing hot chocolate but electric milk frothers would be much better and take up less space than that mixer.

[@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley]

I like to use two packs of hot chocolate powder and then semi-mix my cup, leaving a moist clump of cocoa that I can eat at the bottom 😂. The two packs are to make up for the loss of flavor from not stirring the whole amount.

[@sonialinsey8083]

@ShintogaDeathAngel I recommend anyone get a milk frother anyway. I didn’t get one for so long because it looks like it would literally do nothing, it’s just a dumb little thing, right? WRONG. Life-changing. I’m making matcha latte, hot cocoa, London Fogs 🙀 I even used it on vegan holiday nog.

[@sonialinsey8083]

@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley I wasn’t aware my eight-year-old self was giving out my secret cocoa tips on YT.

[@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley]

@@sonialinsey8083 Lol! I don't think I discovered this "hack" until I was about 12, and I don't drink a lot of cocoa. But when I do, I have to buy an extra box since the two-pack method means I run through them quickly 😂. I'm happy I'm not the only one who drinks (and eats!) their hot chocolate this way.

[@AidenRKrone]

Bailey's bark sounds like a blaster from a _Star Wars_ movie!

[@BullEspresso]

I love seeing your dog's reaction to the spider😂

[@rushmore3927]

That place is hilarious. They sell some things with good deals in segments to bait their products like candy, etc that are actually priced higher than other retailers..... Ingenuous!

[@jimzdziarski6219]

Will the humidifier work with essential oils such as a diffuser?

[@JimDog794]

The humidifier was neat. Hershey mixer is dumb, use a spoon. Spider is lame. Charging bracelet? One size fits all? Lighted message board isn't bad. Dog toy was the best. You and your dog had fun with it.

[@Bionicbabyy]

Great haul. Loved your purchases. I actually use the cable bracelet. It has come in handy several times. The Hershey machine I would take back. Thanks.

[@OceanLover1188]

they have those LED light switches at the Dollar Tree usually! I would not buy candles at those places, they usually have lead in the wicks.

[@26magicman26]

Never been to 5Below, I assumed everything was actually $5 or less

[@sgallegos702]

I’d just attach the bracelet to a backpack and use it for travel.

That charging bracelet kinda sucks from experience, its works but the adhesive holding the clasps in place over the charging connections eventually goes out and it starts sliding around making putting it on a bigger hassle than it already is

3:15 that light with a switch would be cool if you could run some electrical wires to it and then mount a lightbulb to the ceiling of a room.

Five below I would have a field day in that store. All that cool stuff. I liked the fountain humidifier and USB bracelet.

[@thedullohanvids]

I bought a bracelet like that. It was a micro usb. It was pretty useful. I bought another when I got a new phone that used usb c. The usb c one didn't work at all. mine didn't even look that nice. I also tried a key chain one that was a little loop that also didn't work. I like having short charging cords with me when I'm out. I keep a couple batteries in my bag and don't want a huge cord. Now I just use a little 3 inch cord with the batteries.

[@darlenedavis8690]

Bailey is so cute playing with her new toy. I'm pretty sure she likes it.

[@Kguth819]

Funny how I’m in NY and none of those store have bags because plastic is banned. We have to either bring our own or buy a cloth one.

[@Emeraldwitch30]

The little charging bracelets would be great for my on the go battery packs. Its a pain to have 3 or 6 foot cables in your car or purse. I end up at dr offices constantly and having a little short cable like that would be perfect. Plus it looked kinda sturdy. Guess i know what i want from grandkiddos this year.

[@epowell4211]
