Michael's Grab Bags! First of 2019!

Michael's Grab Bags are out! I picked up 4 of the $4 bags. Watch as I show what I scored!

[@nancyrallen]

I used to be a floral designer and you cut those bushes apart and make a wonderful arrangement. I have a grapevine wreath hanging outside and I just poke in different flowers on different seasons and put a bow in them. Succulents are the in thing and are great anywhere. Put in a small pot or low looking vase and set anywhere. Use a tall crystal vase and arrange the long stem in or just let them fall naturally. You might have to trim them. Those wrapped flowers are bridal and bridesmaid bouquets. Use some of the flowers in your gift baskets or set a flowering plant in them on the porch. Wonderful children's gifts!

[@christinhunter7083]

Nancy Allen Those are wonderful ideas! Thank you so much for sharing!! You definitely have a gift! 😃

[@1005jocey]

I couldn’t finish the video because of the loud noice of the bag, however I loved the things I got to see

[@biancaaguilar5929]

That NOISE that sounds like your dragging around a bag of broken glass around it is VERY LOUD every time you touch the bags

[@christinhunter7083]

Bianca Aguilar I know, I’m sorry about that bag noise! The initial playback was not that loud or obnoxious. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Next time I’ll be doing a voiceover to keep the background noise down!

[@biancaaguilar5929]

Christin Hunter suggestion or something to try: you take the objects out the bag, then place the objects that were inside the bag, on top of the bag before you start filming that might avoid the noise and save you time 😉

[@doreencrespo6295]

Totally agree. Just dump the bag out !!!

Can’t believe those baskets were in a grab bag. Great find.

Hi. I Loved your in un-boxing and I must say out of all the un-boxing I've see , yours is the Best!

[@MimiSparkles]

You hit the jackpot, as far as I'm concerned! I need to get to Michael's... Those baskets alone were worth the trip!

[@mariebarnes416]

You did great compared to other ones I've watched.

U did really good. Omg I am excited 2 go get a few at my local Micgaels.

[@christinhunter7083]

Miriam Mendez I hope you found some goodies too!

[@knitpurlsquirrelwithgrannydee]

Amazing deals! I would love to get baskets like those for yarn storage!

[@christinhunter7083]

Dee Thompson that’s a great idea!

[@salemgraves1692]

I bought one of those welcome baskets two falls ago. I love it. With all those acorns you should fill one of the small baskets and put it on your porch with some leaf garland. 😍

[@christinhunter7083]

JaeLyn Graves that’s a great idea! I’ll have to remember that for the fall! Thanks! 😃

[@tristinebel8042]

You got some AWESOME finds!!

[@jeaninenini2704]

You did great!!! Congratulations!!! I am a new subscriber :) I found you doing a search because I am (im)patiently waiting for my stores in FL to put them out. I am still up to my ears in Halloween grab bag stuff, I went a little over board and I am trying to find ways to repurpose what I can. The rest will be great donation items for next year elementary schools :)

[@christinhunter7083]

Jeanine Indinemao Thanks! And congrats on your Halloween score! I’m sure you can find good ways to repurpose some of the items. Fingers crossed you find more grab bags soon! 🤞😃

Pretty cool baskets and bucket u got some great deals

Good haul. As of yet my michaels dosent have grab bags

It’s hard to enjoy the video with all that noise coming from the bags.

[@christinhunter7083]

jujuinthegym That’s awesome!! I’d love that!! I can’t wait to see what you scored!

[@vanidaknutson4616]

I would make a Spring wreath out of all those flowers.

[@christinhunter7083]

Vanida Knutson That would be so pretty! I may have to give it a try!

[@seaside2001]

Love the baskets, but man oh man I hate fake flowers. Can donate I guess.

[@kathyroach1900]

I'm still waiting for our Michael's to put their boxes out. Isn't it strange that the two videos of unboxing Michael's grab boxes I've watched didn't contain any Christmas items? Why is that? Anybody? I'm kind of new to discovering the grab boxes.

[@christinhunter7083]

kathy Roach That’s a great question! I was curious about that too. Every other time I picked up grab bags, it contained seasonal clearance items from the most recent holiday. This was the first time I got something different. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’m not mad about it though! 😃

[@kathyroach1900]

@@christinhunter7083 For sure! Free is better always! I still hope I get Christmas items though. I think I'll find out this week. :) Of course, we're supposed to get the arctic blast so traveling isn't going to be pleasant!

[@christinhunter7083]

kathy Roach Oh no! Be safe if you’re out and about!

[@Claresholms]

Please, zoom out. You might want to invest in a tripod.

[@aileenjacques5222]

Wow that's a great haul!

[@V13-s2y]

Is this in all michaels? And when would it be the next time they can put this? if anyone knows. I had never heard of this and I live 5 minutes from one.😂 LOL

[@kaykay9462]

I have yet to find a grab bag at micheals I don’t even think mines carries these

[@gretchenarrant8334]

Nice haul but could barely hear you. I find this on many KZbin videos, not just yours. People need to speak up frustrating not to hear all the commentary. Thanks. Not being critical just letting you know.

[@bonniej3918]

... as long as you could see what was in the boxes you didn't miss much just a bunch of jabbering on and on

[@FOXYXXB]

Do they do this bags every month? Or when???

[@christinhunter7083]

IIBEVII15 At my stores I’ve found it happens after the most recent seasonal items have been at 80% off for a while. I haven’t found a true set schedule. If I start to pick up on one, I’ll be sure to pass it along!

[@teresalay1797]

Mix the acorns up and put in glass jars or better yet use as a filler for your baskets. Fix the crayons n glue back shut use those in the welcome baskets for ppl that have kids

[@christinhunter7083]

Teresa Lay great ideas! 😃

[@skyebeck2006]

I wish I had a Michaels where I live but we don’t :-( I would be in heaven

[@christinhunter7083]

Skye Beck Oh no, I’m sorry you don’t have one. I didn’t have one nearby growing up. I’m lucky to have a couple close now!

[@skyebeck2006]

Christin Hunter lucky!!!! I think the closest one to me is over an hour away I live in a very small town lol

[@brandibayless5834]

Good haul but your killing me with that bag

[@pammiller9297]

Where do you get the grab bags?...I have been to Michaels many times and have never seen any

[@christinhunter7083]

Pam Miller At my stores they are in large bins up front near the cash registers. Good luck, I hope you find some!

[@doje2810]

Take items out of bag first next time noise is horrible

[@mizlizzie54]

I enjoyed watching and the noise didn't bother me.. I.mean.its plastic.. And I knew tend to amplify any noises... It was not annoying...!!!

[@christinhunter7083]

Thank you for understanding!! I appreciate your comment! :)

[@lauriestewart3700]

So many ways to use the acorns!!

[@marcywhitesell497]

How often r the grab bags

[@marcywhitesell497]

Was this bag only 4.00

[@christinhunter7083]

Marcy Whitesell Yes, each bag and box was only $4 😃

[@margaretsims4344]

What are grab bags? We dont have them in UK.

[@nannybluebelle8643]

@ Margaret Sims .. They are a range of different items that are either end of season or over stocked that kind of thing that staff fill bags or boxes with . Then they are put out for sale at one set price like 4 dollars etc . Why on earth our shops in U.K. Can't do this I don't know wouldn't, it be fun and to dumpster dive too . I will keep dreaming lol . Hope this helps .

[@christinhunter7083]

Nanny Blue Belle's right! The bags are usually filled with seasonal clearance items or general clearance items that did not sell. The bags used to be $2/bag but have gone up to $4 each. It's still usually a great deal!

[@Paula-po9kx]

Can't hear you and the noise from the bags is horrible and the camera is making me dizzy.

[@daleaguerrero6423]

Your bag sounds like shards of metal probably moving you phone away from speaker would be good

[@antwanehoward7043]

Your soundis off sound like glass breaking when you open the bags

[@taubabrown7215]

Had to leave during 1st bag..way too much noise..just cut the bag ..sorry had to leave

When do the grab bags come out ?

[@michelepace777]

My store I travel to had theirs all out Tuesday. Mine were just full of huge containers of ornaments, a lil greenery, some easels but it looked like someone had went through all of the boxes but the huge white bags were closed. They said they told everyone Feb 1st but ended up putting them out early.

[@christinhunter7083]

Thanks Michele for your reply! I know with my stores I generally start to look for them after the seasonal items have been marked down to 80%. Usually it’s the prior season items that are then in the grab bags. This was the first time I’ve found summer, spring and fall when I was expecting Christmas. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’ll take it though! 😃

[@stampinjill]

You need to use a tripod.

[@lydiagreco6636]

Put the camera on something to film that way you have both hands free

[@chevymandd123]

Wow....

[@tinafellman7819]

I don't understand.... why don't you just take everything out of the bag, instead of reaching in there everytime making that noise.

[@christinhunter7083]

tina fellman This was my first time taking it out of the bag on camera. I thought it would be fun for everyone to unbox with me. Unfortunately the sound came through louder after I uploaded the video. Lesson learned!😃

[@milliehernandez5050]

I can't barely hear you on my phone and I have my utube on

[@susanestes3704]

I have been calling my stores for a couple of months asking when are they going to do grab bags again. Over and over, they said we don't know but check back in the mornings that's when we find out. I must have called 25 times. Finally, Monday the employee on the phone said, "yes." But there was so much snow, I couldn't go. I went Tuesday. I have never been so disappointed. The bags were worth a couple of dollars. Really junk for $4.00. When I got home, and looked, I wanted to take them back and get my $8.48 cents back for the two bags.

[@christinhunter7083]

Susan Estes I’m so sorry to hear that! It really is hit or miss with these bags. That is disappointing after you’ve been waiting for so long!

[@kathyroach1900]

I've been doing the same thing! I've called like everyday! Today! Still nothing. After reading the other comments, I think I'll get a couple of boxes, take them to my car and open them, and if it looks like crap, I won't buy more but if they look good, I'll buy more and repeat. Good luck! Where do you live by the way? I'm central NY

[@christinhunter7083]

kathy Roach I’m in North Carolina. 😃

[@zacsgran1]

You know I have bought these bags or boxes several times and all I ever get is junk for example last year I bought three boxes after Valentine’s Day maybe it was after Easter all I got was three boxes and I kid you not three boxes of valentines I’m 73 years old and have nothing to do with Valentines. I’m going to ask the local grade score if they need them.

[@christinhunter7083]

Sue Ross Redmon Donating the valentines is a great idea! I’m sorry you didn’t get anything you could personally use. You never know what you’ll find in the grab bags, that’s for sure. That’s what I like about them, the surprise of what’s inside! I’ve been pretty lucky and usually get something I can use. I have had a couple duds though. I hope you have better luck in the future!

[@sonyasanford4286]

Would have enjoyed more but too noisy. 🙁

[@christinhunter7083]

Sonya Sanford I know, I’m sorry about that! It didn’t seem as loud when I watched it back, but came across louder after it was uploaded. 🤦🏼‍♀️ Next time I’ll be using a tripod (or voiceover) so the camera isn’t as close to the bags!

[@debbie7115]

@@christinhunter7083 Voiceovers definitely don't have the same appeal for me.

Couldnt watch this makes me nervous, you need either a tripod or someone to help video, unpacking one handed is unnerving

[@sarakatz6541]

Omg when you were editing you didn’t notice the excruciating noise?!! Just went with it anyway? Omg I can’t watch anymore.. I would’ve re-shot it or tried cutting the noise parts out of the video. Amateur or just lazy. Quality matters on this competitive KZbins, just saying..
