I was super excited when I stopped into Michael's and saw they had their mystery boxes again. These boxes are only $10 each and are usually packed with clearance merchandise worth far more than the purchase price. Since I never seem to learn self-control when mystery boxes are involved, I grabbed four and brought two of them to my mom to open.
My mom picked the first box, and it was packed to the gills with silk flowers. We found poppies, sunflowers, roses, and several other floral varieties mixed throughout the box.
There was only one non-flower item in the entire haul: a George Washington costume. Completely random, but that's part of the mystery-box experience. As luck would have it, one of my kids' friends was looking for that Halloween costume, so we'll be passing that along.
While an entire box of flowers might not sound exciting to everyone, they'll definitely find good homes. Several of my crafty coworkers make wreaths and floral arrangements, so they'll be thrilled. I'm also thinking some of the flowers might be used to decorate hospital rooms or donated to local nursing homes to brighten up residents' spaces.
When you look at the value, this was still an impressive haul. Most of the flower bundles had price tags of $9.99 or more each, and the George Washington costume alone retailed for around $75. Not bad for a $10 mystery box.
