Unclaimed Mail from Surprise Dress - Personalized Rug & Wedding Dress

My mom Maryann is back with another round of Surprise Chest unclaimed mail, and this batch was pure comedy from start to finish.

The first thing she opened was a personalized rug, and we’ll definitely be hunting down the rightful owner. My mom thought the guy on the rug was Michael Jackson, which was extra hilarious because he looked nothing like him. She just wasn’t wearing her glasses, and once she put them on, she realized she had invented a whole new MJ era.

Next up, she pulled out a wedding dress. I had to try it on just for fun. Don’t worry, I’m never getting married again, but it made for a great laugh.

Finally, she opened a wallet phone case. Check out the video to see all the surprises and my mom’s reactions . If you want more Surprise Chest adventures, explore my other unclaimed‑mail posts.

Apps That Make You Real Money — Receipt Hog

 

Today we’re diving into Receipt Hog, the second app in my series on apps that actually make you real money. If you already use Fetch, this one will feel familiar, but it works a little differently.

Receipt Hog lets you scan receipts to earn rewards, but unlike Fetch, you don’t get coins for every receipt. Instead, the app sorts your receipts into different reward types:

• Grocery store receipts earn you coins, which you can cash out for real money.

• Other stores earn you tickets for the monthly sweepstakes.

• Some receipts give you spins on the Hog Slots, a cute little slot machine where you can win extra coins.

It might feel like you’re earning less at first, but in my experience, I usually end up cashing out Fetch and Receipt Hog around the same time. And the best part? You can scan the same receipts on both apps, which means you’re doubling your rewards without spending double the money.

Extra Ways to Earn

Receipt Hog gives you several bonus earning options:

• Link your online shopping accounts for extra sweepstakes entries

• Take surveys to earn bonus coins

• Refer friends for additional rewards

• Hit weekly and monthly goals to earn extra spins on the Hog Slots

Between all of that, the coins really do add up. So far, I’ve made $120 just by scanning receipts I’d normally throw away.

Final Thoughts

Receipt Hog is a great companion app to Fetch. Slower in some ways, but surprisingly steady. If you’re already scanning receipts, you might as well earn twice the rewards. If you decide to try it, please sign up using my referral link so we can both get a bonus!

Amazon Mystery Box - Detective Mode

It’s time for another Amazon mystery box from ResellablesMA. This one wasn't the best box I’ve ever gotten, but definitely one of the most memorable, and nothing went to waste.

This batch had a LOT of food close to expiring, including an entire case of coffee and 21 containers of mac and cheese. Just the coffee alone was worth the $40 I paid while the boxes were on sale. Everything else was just a bonus.

The Surprises Inside

Along with the food, I also pulled out:

• A bunch of Sherlock Holmes costumes which sent all the ladies in my office into detective mode. Nothing like a little cosplay to spice up a workday.

• Cute Easter plates my mom claimed. She loves anything seasonal.

Not the most glamorous box, but definitely one of the funniest. And between the food, the costumes, and the plates, everything found a home.

Check out the video below to see the full unboxing and my reactions as I dug through. If you want to compare this box to my others, explore previous Resellables mystery boxes or check out other unclaimed‑mail unboxings.

Unclaimed Mail from Bup Boxes - Mushroom Coffee & Skin Care

 Today I’m opening my next batch from the Bup Box I split with my friend Heather from I’m in a Zen Garden State of Mind. We’ve been taking turns opening packages, and this round definitely delivered some fun surprises.

The first thing I pulled was a box from Rhyze Mushroom Coffee, and I was so excited because I’ve been wanting to try it. Inside were two bags of coffee plus creamer. I can’t wait to brew a cup and see what all the hype is about.

The other two packages in this batch were all skincare items, which is always a win. Mystery boxes love sending beauty products. Check out the video below to see everything I opened and hear my reactions in real time.

And don’t forget to visit Heather on Facebook to see what she got in her half of the box. If you want more unclaimed‑mail adventures, explore my other Bup Box posts or by Surprise Chest unboxings.

Treasure Chest Mystery Box from Magick Souls — 1 of 3

I was going to try a different mystery‑box company this week, but then Magick Souls dropped their Treasure Chest deal and the prices were way too good to pass up. I grabbed three little treasure chests for $30, and honestly, the boxes alone are worth that price. They’re sturdy, adorable, and perfect for storing crystals, jewelry, or whatever magical charms you collect.

This post is for Chest #1, and it did not disappoint.

What as Inside Chest #1

This chest was packed with a gorgeous assortment of crystals and carved stones — definitely the kind of mix that makes these boxes feel whimsical and fun.

Here’s what I found:

• Mini amethyst clusters

• Two pyrite nuggets.

• A green carved mushroom

• A rose‑quartz heart

• A pink crystal point

• A blue carved rabbit

Everything was neatly tucked inside the wooden chest, and the mix of shapes, colors, and textures made this first box feel like a tiny magical treasure haul. For $10 per chest, this is an incredible value, especially considering the quality of the box itself. The crystals were a fun mix of decorative pieces and carved shapes, and it definitely set the bar high for the next two chests. Check out my unboxing video below and stay tuned for chest #2.

Unclaimed Mail - Shower Heads & MORE BRAS

My mom opened a few more Surprise Chest boxes today, and this batch was lots of fun. First up: a shower head, which looked pretty high-tech. Then she pulled out a stack of kids’ books, which is always a sweet surprise.

And then… you guessed it… MORE BRAS. At this point it’s practically a running joke, but today’s twist? They were her size. For once, the universe aligned and sent her something she can actually use instead of another 5XL hammock masquerading as lingerie. Check out the video below to see her reactions.
