Datura stramonium is like the actual name of devils snare or jimsonweed. Its a nightshade plant

Good to know 😊

The potion is their take on Devil's Snare :) Took me a moment too!

Enjoyed watching these unboxings! I felt like there are lots of DIY possibilities with these boxes. Might I suggest...the white T-shirt would lend itself to Tie-Dye! I completely agree that the wand needs a repaint, though the shape was very interesting. Thanks for sharing, new to your channel but happy I’ve subscribed 👍

Oooo tie-dye would be great for that, nice suggestion. 😊

The wand made me think of a shillelagh. It'd be good for an earth mage costume. Wasn't there a Night Bus token in one of the boxes recently? The pixie, ring, wax stamp and reaping angel were good. The rest - not so much. The potion bottle is based on a real plant: Datura stramonium, known by the common names thorn apple, jimsonweed or devil's snare, is a species of flowering plant in the nightshade family Solanaceae. Its likely origin was in Central America, and it has been introduced in many world regions. has frequently been employed in traditional medicine to treat a variety of ailments. It has also been used as a hallucinogen (of the anticholinergic/antimuscarinic, deliriant type), taken entheogenically to cause intense visions. It is unlikely ever to become a major drug of abuse owing to effects upon both mind and body frequently perceived subjectively as highly unpleasant, giving rise to a state of profound and long-lasting disorientation with a potentially fatal outcome. It contains tropane alkaloids which are responsible for the deliriant effects, and may be severely toxic.

Interesting I didn’t know all that. Thanks for the info!! I agree the wand does look a shillelagh!

That shirt looks just like your artwork posted last June (shared by geekgear too!)

[@CookingandCraftChick]

It kind of does 😊

Each box had a couple items I enjoy, the ring, the wax seal stamp, the potion.... Just not enough to make me subscribe to their box. Enjoy all your videos!❤️ Keep them coming!

[@kelj7711]

Thanks for sharing! I liked the pixie, ring, reaper, and wax seal the most. Pretty good boxes overall, but I’m right there with you on the items you didn’t like. 😊👍

I think GG have been doing a pretty good job lately... especially when they are alot cheaper than many other boxes (I'm in UK so postage is cheap for me). The May box has some nice items too... no spoilers but one in particular was especially good imo!

[@CookingandCraftChick]

Yay! I can’t wait 😁
