   So every bag has different items?

  Yes. One year I did it and one box was all pinecones and another box had calendars, pillow sewing kit, ribbon. It just depends on what your michael’s has leftover and if you’re lucky you can get some really cool things!

   Are you able to look at what is inside before you buy them or is it a surprise?

  Ur not supposed to look thru them. They’re like blind bags. I still like to peek here or there just to get an idea. It’s risky, especially now that they’re $4 instead of $2.

   I used to buy these boxes as a treat for my kiddos. My thoughts have changed. This past year I’ve been decluttering and have found that much of it landed in my craft room are stuff from these boxes that I’ve never got around to using… I found a bunch of Christmas stuff from grab bags years ago🙄

  I’m going through a major decluttering phase as well and the idea of a mystery box is such a temptation for me. I just want to open it and see what I get, but becuase I can’t think of anything that I need from Michaels, I know that it’ll just be more clutter and end up at Goodwill.

   I think this is good if you’re looking for Christmas decorations on the cheap, if you don’t have much, like if you’re starting a new house and if you have young kids and are looking for (a ton) of X mas crafts, usually mostly duplicates on the cheap as well. A lot of knick nacks and yes you just never know what you’re gna get.

   Dangit, I was right by Michaels today lol. I’ll have to call an see if they have any before I head back over there. I love these, some is junk but there have also been some really nice things in my boxes. I use some of it for decor an donate or give the rest away to friends/family. One time I got a $30 light up display

   I did this at Easter last year and got a *ton* of great Wilton decorating items, table runners and boxed foam craft kits. My three kids and I had a blast with them! I bought three bags at $2 each and was more than satisfied.

   I got 4 boxes last year, all is christmas decorations. I donated them all to my kids school and they used it to decorate the stages for holidays.
   It’s so fun to get the box and see what you got.

    I went after work today . My Michael’s had them in clear trash bags, so you could see what was in them. I bought four bags. One was nothing but ribbon. One bag had throw pillows and plate chargers. The other two bags had really pretty ornaments and 2 projection lights that you shine on your house. I was happy with my finds!!

    Yep, these are totally hit or miss but fun if you feel like taking a gamble. I got a bunch of beautiful faux pine garland marked for $40 one time that I still use to decorate. But I would say about 50% of the stuff in them is stuff I have zero use for. Next time, I’ll check through them on my way home from the store and just drop off whatever I’m not keeping at the thrift store. Hope my store is still using bags. The bags are much easier than boxes to peek. 🙂

    The Michael’s that I’ve been to have them all in the $4 boxes. Some of the stores taped over all the handle holes and top, so you can’t peek unless you break the seal.

    A lady at one of the stores was telling me how to beware of the super heavy boxes cuz the ones she got ended up being all Christmas lights (boxes and boxes of them!). Unless you want Christmas lights of course! ;D

    I just bought 2 bags (my store has bags with tripple bags but you can still kind of take a peak) first bag was all Christmas stuff (a big mug, 2 decorative plates, a big golden mason jar, ornaments, golden stocking, chocolates, cookie cutters, ribbons, a ‘let it snow’ sign and a Christmas floral ball). 2nd bag had all kids stuff (stickers, medium size 16month calendars /themed kittens, colorful, puppies, and Psalms/ 4 boxes of gel crayons 12pz each, and a bunch of ‘Handmade Charlotte’ games) I work with children so my grab bags were perfect. Orange County, California.

    Saw this and ran out. I’ve been waiting for this. I am a little crazy about Christmas. Had trouble narrowing it down so I got 4 boxes. One box had about a dozen rolls of 5.5″ ribbon, a pillow, a lantern, a funky pom pom tree, and several coin purses. That box alone justified the cost. The others were a hodge podge of things, so more useful than others. I’ll be passing calendars around the office and sharing candy canes tomorrow. I also got a bunch of lovely, but random letters (P, Q, X, Z, N, etc) I’ll have to figure out something to do with.

    My 8 year old daughter and I do this now as a fun, cheap thrill. She can barely contain herself as the rule is it does not get opened till we are home. Yesterday we picked the heavy box and had 5 full size ceramic aromatic diffusers inside.

  We just missed it earlier this month. I’m just found out about this today. I called my store and he said it’s about every 3-4 months; whenever corporate tells them to do it.
