These grab bags can be filled with just about anything, but usually include seasonal decor, crafting supplies, kids activity books, puzzles, games, ribbon, tissue paper, Mylar balloons, tote bags and much more!
While it can be hard to guess what’s in these surprise bags, you can sometimes tell from the size of the bag or box, and what is sticking out.
Here’s what some of our readers have received in the past…
I got a couple of the boxes around March and I got a ton of cute Black history month items for Valentine’s Day, and St. Patty’s day stuff. I got a lot of the same items but that’s ok. I kept some and donated the rest to some schools in my area. I had a few of the Valentine’s Day mailboxes. I held on to the because I knew I could repurpose them.
We bought three of the grab boxes the other day and they were filled with valentines day decorations. Not one of the best grab boxes we have picked up but all together they still had over $450 worth of stuff. The best grab box we had ever gotten came with tons of random stuff, including a $40 art lamp. But they are hit or miss. Overall, if you are looking for a fun opportunity they are a great buy.
I just hit the jackpot too! They had grab BOXES! I totally scored on tons of great valentines stuff and some st Patrick’s day. Soooo worth $5! THANKS for posting!!
As you can see, some readers have reported AWESOME bags filled with merchandise totaling hundreds of dollars! Let us know in the comments if you found anything fun or unique in your own bag this time around!
Hip Tip: If your bag or box is full of items you don’t like and don’t want to regift, try selling them via Facebook Marketplace or OfferUp. You’ll likely earn back a lot more than what you spent!
I haven’t ever seen them at any of the Michael’s near me… 🙁
Bummer! Thanks for letting us know, Tracey! I haven’t seen any at my location yet either. 💞
Sorry to hear you missed them this time. I have 2 stores near me, the one I went to first (at 9 am) had over 100 boxes! Then I drove to the next one and they were already sold out! It was only 9:15! It’s definitely worth it to check multiple stores ☺️
Honestly in NY I have been burned too many times buying these. One time I got all Easter grass and one half of a roll of ribbon- I complained because it is usually marked down to .10 all over after Easter. Next I got broken clear glass ornaments and two advent houses with missing doors. The last “straw” was a whole box of cinnamon pinecones. I am glad so many get good stuff. Here they are getting rid of stuff they should throw out.
Aw, I am so sorry to hear this. That is very disappointing!
This is the worst! I’m also in NY and the store closest to me packs them like that (all of the same stuff in one box). Who needs 20 foam house kits!?!? It takes the fun out of it. Luckily I have another store nearby that packs better ones so it might be worth a shot to check out another location ☺️
Got a box for first time and got decorative kids pens , 2 small boxes and keychains- and flower box
Hoping you had fun unboxing, Traci! Sounds like some good items! 💕
Where and when are the best days to find the grab bags/boxes. I am in Austin, TX
Hey Rosie! I would be sure to call your nearest location to check that they have them available before making a trip. Since availability and selection might vary by store, an employee might be able to give you an idea of when to grab a box at their store. Hoping this is helpful! 💓
Do they do this after Halloween for fall items? Just asking so I’ll know to keep an eye out and when
These usually are available after each season or holiday. We’ll keep a lookout! 👀
Grab bags were out at my local Michaels today with Halloween stuff. However…. They were 10.00, not 5
