Nicky’s Picks: Robot Dogs, Fall Fleece & Austin Powers Chic

 My son Nicky unboxed a few items today, and since he doesn’t like being on video, I’m sharing photos of the best finds.

1) Robot Dogs

We got three of these adorable little “robot dogs.” They’re basically stuffed animals that yip. The definitely aren't the hyper‑realistic pets the AI‑generated ads pretend they are. Seriously, companies, just be honest. Kids would love these exactly as they are! I actually bought one for my oldest daughter years ago at the mall, and she adored it, so these brought back a little nostalgia.

2) Green Fleece Top Next up was a cozy green fleece top that I’ll definitely be wearing once fall hits the Jersey Shore.

3) Blue Velour Top With Frilly Sleeves And finally, the showstopper is a blue velour top with frilly sleeves that is giving full Austin Powers vibes. “Yeah, baby, yeah!”

That’s a wrap on Nicky’s picks. Even off‑camera, he still manages to bring the fun.

Unclaimed Mail - Highland Cow

 Today Beautiful Mama Heather stopped by for another round of unclaimed‑mail fun.

First up was a kids’ Saint Patrick’s Day shirt. Not quite her size, but definitely cute enough to save for someone’s little leprechaun next year.

Next, she unboxed the star of the day, a Highland Cow light. It’s one of those items that’s so cute you can’t help but smile at it.

Finally, Heather pulled out four salad spinners. Another day, another round of unclaimed‑mail magi, and Heather always brings the best energy.

Unclaimed Mail - Haircare and Home Goods

 Today’s unclaimed mail came with a little bit of everything.

First up was a mini cart/shelf, the kind of thing that could either organize your life or drive you insane trying to assemble it.

Next, I unboxed an electric hairbrush that came with multiple accessories. It looks like one of those all‑in‑one styling tools that promises salon hair but I'll be passing it to a friend.

And finally, Christmas golf set to help get us in the holiday spirit early.

Another day, another round of surprises.

Resellables MA Mystery Box #2

 Today I unboxed my second Resellables MA mystery box, and it was just as much fun as the first one. These boxes are made from overstock, so you never get repeats which makes them even more exciting to open. Some of the highlights:

☀️ A three‑pack of sunblock — absolutely perfect for our Jersey Shore summers. 🧒 Lots of cute kids’ clothes — I passed those along to friends with grandchildren. ( I’m getting a little jealous that I don’t have any yet.) 🧸 Toys 🦥 Adorable sloth socks 🧵 An embroidery set

It was a great mix of practical, cute, and totally random. Check out the video to see everything they include. This box was packed.

Resellables MA Mega Box

 Today Heather and I unboxed a huge mystery box from Resellables MA, and this one was packed. They make their own boxes from overstock, which means there are no repeats. Every item is a total surprise, and this box did not disappoint.

Inside we found a little bit of everything: 👚 Clothing 🎨 Crafting items 🧸 Toys 💘 And even a handful of Valentine’s goodies we can stash away for next year.

But the star of the show was $250 watch our top pick of the entire haul.

The box cost $75, and when I bought them they were buy 2, get 1 free, so the value is there. Between the two of us, nothing went to waste. I brought the extra items into work, and whatever my coworkers don’t grab will be donated. Another win for the mystery‑box addiction.

Stag Hunt is FREE for Beltane

 In ancient Britannia, the warrior who brought down the king stag was named the defender of the land. Eartha’s brother Balen has been in love with Princess Galiene since they were children. Upon the death of the High King, the tribesmen of the realm vie for the throne, and with it, the hand of the princess.

Balen is desperate to win his lady, but a rival tribesman is equally determined to keep them apart. With her brother, her dearest friend, and the country she loves hanging in the balance, Eartha must do the unthinkable to ensure her brother’s victory in the stag hunt. Sometimes true love needs a helping hand...or for blood to be spilled.

Michaels Mystery Box: Christmas Round Two — Lollipops, Puppies & Mini Trees

 Today I opened my second Michaels mystery box, and once again it was packed with the kind of adorable Christmas fun only Michaels can deliver.

Inside were lollipop ornaments, tiny puppy decorations, and a whole forest of mini Christmas trees. Everything was bright and cheerful, like someone bottled holiday spirit and dumped it straight into a cardboard box.

There was plenty to go around, so I passed the goodies out to all the crafty ladies at the office, and everyone walked away with a little piece of early Christmas joy.

Sometimes the mystery boxes are weird, but today’s was pure festive fun.
