More Office Fun with Unclaimed Mail

 Today our last office queen, Ronnie, stepped up for her turn at the unclaimed‑mail throne, and she closed out the series with style.

Her first pull was a whole bag of car seat covers. If anyone’s car is getting a makeover this week, it’s hers. Next, she unboxed a hair straightener And finally, the surprise of the day, adorable baby booties. Soft, tiny, and ridiculously cute. Maybe it’s a sign that a new grandbaby is in her future.

Our office queens have officially wrapped their season, and Ronnie ended it on a high note.

Hippie Bags, Puppet Mittens & Perimenopause Barbie

 Today’s unboxing break belongs to my youngest, Nicky. He isn’t comfortable being on video, but I couldn’t leave him out of the fun. He’s been opening boxes every day behind the scenes. Most were duds, but a few were too good not to share. No video this time, but we’ve got photos, these three deserve their moment.



1) Hippie Overnight Bag This adorable bag looks like a little Volkswagen bus with peace signs, bright colors, total retro vibes. It’s perfect for day trips, so I’m passing it along to my friend Diane, who just retired and will put it to good use.



2) Puppet Mittens These might be the cutest thing we’ve ever unboxed. They’re mitten, but also hand puppets. Ducks, to be exact. Completely impractical but delightful.




3) Pink PJs I don’t know who would actually sleep in these, but they were too funny not to share. Bright pink, feathery cuffs, and made from the cheapest polyester known to mankind. I tried them on for the photo, and I looked like Perimenopause Barbie.

And that’s a wrap on Nicky’s Top Three. Even off‑camera, he still brings the magic.

Unclaimed Mail - Karen Style

Today’s unboxing star was my friend Karen. Her personality lives up to the memes, and she is proud of it. She’s also the inspiration for Sidekick Karen in Wish on a Star.

Her haul did not disappoint. First, she opened three pairs of reading glasses. She tried them on like she was judging a PTA meeting.

Next up: a hair straightener, which she “might actually use,” which is high praise coming from her.

And finally, she unboxed a pair of cute casual shoes. They were too small for her, but I kept them.

Another day, another unboxing, and Karen delivered.

Mystery Boxes, Michaels Edition — Christmas in April

 Today we took a little break from unclaimed mail and switched things up with a mystery clearance box from Michaels. My friend Heather and I couldn’t resist the temptation.

As expected, they were pretty much filled with Christmas décor, silk flowers, potpourri, and all the festive odds and ends you’d expect from a post‑holiday purge.

We kept a few things for ourselves, passed some goodies along to our crafty coworkers (you know who you are), and the rest is heading somewhere even better. Heather is donating the remaining décor to a local nursing home to bring them some holiday cheer next year.

Unclaimed Mail: Bing Bong & Bathing Suits

 Today’s unboxing featured my stepfather Fernando, who dove right into the mystery mail.

First up was a Bing Bong plushie. I had no idea what it was during filming, but my son Nicky squealed like a fangirl the second he saw it and explained it’s from a video game. Needless to say, Nicky claimed that one.


Next, Fernando opened a women’s bathing suit, and yes, he actually tried it on. The commitment to the bit was unmatched.

Finally, he got two measuring cups which my mom was happy to claim. Another day, another round of unclaimed mail, and Fernando officially earned his spot in the hall of fame.

Unclaimed Mail: Boomer Edition — Cargo Pants, Antennas & Seat Covers

 Today’s unboxing featured our very first boomer unboxer, my mom, Maryann, who dove right in with confidence and curiosity.

Her haul included several pairs of brown and hunter‑green cargo pants. Next came a TV antenna that she said looks like a missile.

And finally, seat covers that will work perfectly on her dining room chairs. We needed these when my kids were little and always spilling stuff on her seats!

Grandma handled it all like a pro, laughing through every reveal. The boomer debut was a hit she might be our most efficient unboxer yet. Stay tuned tomorrow when her husband Fernando takes the unboxing throne.
