Had a great time making this video. Well worth $5 for each box. And giving away most of it to ARC is fantastic.

[@justine5588]

Love when you and Melissa do these hauls. Have a great day!

[@TheCheapChick]

Thanks for doing it with me. They were so happy at the arc when I went.

@@justine5588 AWWWW Thank you Justine. Had a blast making it. Stay safe out there. 👍

Cheap Chick dad , the oil based sharpie is great to paint wine glasses or beer mugs if you want to get crafty ! ( usually get the glasses at 1.25 tree lol)

[@cristkilpatrick3970]

Your Dad is such a joy! He is always a happy person. Your Mom is a sweetheart! You have wonderful parents!! Wow!! Lots of nice Christmas things! Hugs to Paco!! 💕💕💕

[@terryevans2543]

I love how your dad sings a little song for everything he pulled out of the boxes, he makes me laugh so much. We could hear your mum but we didn’t get to see her this time. Xxx

[@TheCheapChick]

You will get to see her on Thursday à

[@selenadansfield1305]

Your Dad is a hoot! Love when you open these Michaels boxes! Keep 'em coming (when in season).

[@judithrichardson8213]

Hi Melissa. You and your dad got some really great stuff in your boxes. I saw one lady that I follow, and when she opened her box ( she had one box and a bag ) the entire box was paint brushes. They were all sizes, but ALL brushes, she was not upset though as she is a crafter, and she has 3 young boys, so a good amount of them will go to the boys school, plus her mother is in a home and they often need paint brushes for their crafting, so they will all end up going to good use. She said the box was so heavy she could barely lift it, there must have been hundreds of brushes in there, some were packs with several in and I think there were a few bigger ones, but I have never seen so many brushes in one place. Anyway I hope you and the family are all doing well, you and your dad certainly look well. Much love and respect from me and mine to you and yours, and a big hug for Paco who was slowly disappearing behind all that stuff, bless him. xxxx

I just wanted to say I am so happy I found your channel! I love these videos with you dad. He reminds me so much of my dad who was from New England too. He passed away a few years ago and your dad’s amazing personality and that wonderful New England accent is bringing back a flood of memories of me hanging out with him like this. Thank you both for making me smile. I am kinda glad I don’t have a Michaels here in Hawaii as I would definitely be buying a bunch of these!

[@clairepoole226]

The ginormous eyes are for your shrubs!! Peeping out!! Lol! Not a cone wreath, it unrolls, to decorate with.. 😘 I love Pop’s singing, too!!

[@christinegreywolf]

I ran out and got 3 boxes also this morning! lol... There was a lady that had picked up 12 of them. Two of mine are fairly heavy and one is quite light. I am waiting for my daughter to come over to open them.

[@fallenangelart_2818]

I love watching your videos, ive been really struggling with sleeping lately (it's currently 1:32 am in the uk) and I find watching you unbox things very relaxing and I will eventually get tired and sleep, keep on being randomly wonderful! Much love from North Yorkshire ❤️

[@Sherbetslemons]

A wave from another North Yorkshire insomnia sufferer who does the same! Don’t you wish we could get these boxes?!

[@fallenangelart_2818]

@@Sherbetslemons I would love to get one of theses boxes!! Why can't one of our shops do something similar? I'm sure they would be very popular x

[@Sherbetslemons]

I know! It would be such fun. I’m sure Hobby Craft could! And then we just need a Dollar Tree 🤣🤣

[@fallenangelart_2818]

@@Sherbetslemons I'd be all over a hobby craft grab bag/box!! I am really crafty and enjoy drawing so anything from there would be great!! (My fiancé wouldn't be too happy, I have way too much stationery already!) 😂😂

[@krickster82]

I went and picked up 2 boxes so I had something to do while waiting on the handyman. there was a $50 garland in one of the boxes a billion bows and pinecones and foam crafts. It was fun to go through while waiting. I gave the garland to my neighbor because she decorates. I... do not lol. In fact...we totally decorated her apt so that her 16 yr old daughter would think her mom went a lil wackadoo

[@Kit2ThaKat]

I just love when your parents are in your vid. Your mom seems so sweet and your dad always makes me giggle and smile. I love his personality. And you are the perfect mix of them both.

[@karaprewett6479]

Love videos with your dad! He cracks me up! He inspired me to go by 5 boxes today and I got a lot of the same things you did. Can't wait to do the crafts with my grandsons! Only thing I did not get was the yarn!! So jealous! Thanks for all the great videos!!

[@marandazilk3175]

Coloring with Sharpies today and listening to this video. Your Dad's excitement is heartwarming. Not even half done with the video and I have smiled so many times. Thanks for posting!

[@ttrcy777]

I love how excited your dad is. I think he got some great yarn. I love yarn!!!

Love a grab bag video and Dad makes it even better! I gotta say you holding those branches was giving me Statue of Liberty vibes! 🤣😂

Love watching videos you do with your dad, he makes my day.

Those boxes are great, very good deals. I wish there was a Michael's near me. your dad is great ,I like how excited he gets. It's always good to see your parents in the videos That little knife you used, I have 2 of them from Wish, they're sharp,works great.. Enjoyed the video 👍

[@jeaniejbutler4911]

I need to get a few of those.

[@lindsaya7733]

The supply issues before the holidays have definitely had an impact. So many stores just have everything on clearance. Glad you got so much good stuff!

[@lmr31721]

Omg those small stockings are ADORABLE. I love miniatures…I’d probably make a miniature fireplace with stockings hung

[@Natalie.Forestell]

Love your hauls with your dad! It's funny he always gets more boxes than was agreed upon! 💗

[@andwal13]

I love the relationship you all have ♡ These are fun to watch! ♡♡♡

[@teresaatkins1130]

Love the videos with Mom and Dad in them so much. You all have such a good time with the grab bag/boxes from Micheals. No way to pick who did better all where great. I'd love to get a couple myself. Love a good mystery box/bag. Miss the $1 grab bags from Dollar Tree use to get some good little things in them. Have a great weekend all!

[@katiecarmody5663]

I chuckled with his ornament guesses 😂

Your dad is too awesome for words. I feel like I’m watching a video of my close friends. I almost found myself responding to you two🤣🤣

[@josiewathen8772]

I love watching you and your dad and mom in background. I use the santa picks for decorations on my tree. You just stick them all through tree. I got all kinds of different ones year before last. Some were shiny train engines and I got some glass round ornaments that had letters on them with green and red polka dots on them I turned the backwards and hung them on tree with the train engines it its my favorite tree. Loved your video thanks for making me smile

[@Narbyful]

Good Lord. This is so fun. I've never commented before, I think. Your dad is fantastic, and I am so grateful that I live far from a Michaels, so that I can't just jump in a car and go get some of these boxes. Because these are great! Your dad is the bomb! LOL So super.

I love how these always turn into family bickering 💗🤣🤣

You could probably put 25c each on the ornament holders and pretty much make back the money spent on both you and your dads boxes alone!! LOL! Great haul!!

Lucky you I'm always on the look out for the letters z, k, m, a, j, t, I, h, and c. I have 11 grandchildren who all have pretty unique names. Some letters are easier to find others not so easy. Great haul. My closest Michaels is 45 minutes away. I can never get there before they sell out. I have gotten some with a bunch of flowers so I made some arrangements and took them to nursing homes. Ty for sharing.

[@lindabevier-vian7101]

Your dad is so full of life,so energetic. I like when he gets boxes/grab bags with you.

[@jeaniejbutler4911]

Melissa, Not sure if you know this but the green ornament hanger/hooks are used by many crafters year round. I use them to secure silk flowers and greenery for DIY projects, I have also spray painted them and used them to secure tons of different items. as they are bendable and totally blend in. I have also used them to even hold my cords for my electronics so they dont get tangled or wind up a tangled mess. Think outside the box and you can find tons of uses for them...I have sold tons of them at the flea market etc. year round.

[@jacquiward7017]

Omg …your dad has made me lol tonight … but you both have done amazing … we don’t have shops that I know of that do that here in the uk ….I’m sooo jealous xxx
