I used to be a floral designer and you cut those bushes apart and make a wonderful arrangement. I have a grapevine wreath hanging outside and I just poke in different flowers on different seasons and put a bow in them. Succulents are the in thing and are great anywhere. Put in a small pot or low looking vase and set anywhere. Use a tall crystal vase and arrange the long stem in or just let them fall naturally. You might have to trim them. Those wrapped flowers are bridal and bridesmaid bouquets. Use some of the flowers in your gift baskets or set a flowering plant in them on the porch. Wonderful children's gifts!
Bianca Aguilar I know, I’m sorry about that bag noise! The initial playback was not that loud or obnoxious. 🤷🏼♀️ Next time I’ll be doing a voiceover to keep the background noise down!
Christin Hunter suggestion or something to try: you take the objects out the bag, then place the objects that were inside the bag, on top of the bag before you start filming that might avoid the noise and save you time 😉
I finally scored grab bags and one box! One Topiary sold, originally for $250.00!!!😱 I'm still sitting in the Conyers Ga Michael's parking lot!! I am so excited!!
You did great!!! Congratulations!!! I am a new subscriber :) I found you doing a search because I am (im)patiently waiting for my stores in FL to put them out. I am still up to my ears in Halloween grab bag stuff, I went a little over board and I am trying to find ways to repurpose what I can. The rest will be great donation items for next year elementary schools :)
Jeanine Indinemao Thanks! And congrats on your Halloween score! I’m sure you can find good ways to repurpose some of the items. Fingers crossed you find more grab bags soon! 🤞😃
I bought one of those welcome baskets two falls ago. I love it. With all those acorns you should fill one of the small baskets and put it on your porch with some leaf garland. 😍
Is this in all michaels? And when would it be the next time they can put this? if anyone knows. I had never heard of this and I live 5 minutes from one.😂 LOL
I'm still waiting for our Michael's to put their boxes out. Isn't it strange that the two videos of unboxing Michael's grab boxes I've watched didn't contain any Christmas items? Why is that? Anybody? I'm kind of new to discovering the grab boxes.
kathy Roach That’s a great question! I was curious about that too. Every other time I picked up grab bags, it contained seasonal clearance items from the most recent holiday. This was the first time I got something different. 🤷🏼♀️ I’m not mad about it though! 😃
@@christinhunter7083 For sure! Free is better always! I still hope I get Christmas items though. I think I'll find out this week. :) Of course, we're supposed to get the arctic blast so traveling isn't going to be pleasant!
Mix the acorns up and put in glass jars or better yet use as a filler for your baskets. Fix the crayons n glue back shut use those in the welcome baskets for ppl that have kids
IIBEVII15 At my stores I’ve found it happens after the most recent seasonal items have been at 80% off for a while. I haven’t found a true set schedule. If I start to pick up on one, I’ll be sure to pass it along!
@ Margaret Sims .. They are a range of different items that are either end of season or over stocked that kind of thing that staff fill bags or boxes with . Then they are put out for sale at one set price like 4 dollars etc . Why on earth our shops in U.K. Can't do this I don't know wouldn't, it be fun and to dumpster dive too . I will keep dreaming lol . Hope this helps .
Nanny Blue Belle's right! The bags are usually filled with seasonal clearance items or general clearance items that did not sell. The bags used to be $2/bag but have gone up to $4 each. It's still usually a great deal!
My store I travel to had theirs all out Tuesday. Mine were just full of huge containers of ornaments, a lil greenery, some easels but it looked like someone had went through all of the boxes but the huge white bags were closed. They said they told everyone Feb 1st but ended up putting them out early.
Thanks Michele for your reply! I know with my stores I generally start to look for them after the seasonal items have been marked down to 80%. Usually it’s the prior season items that are then in the grab bags. This was the first time I’ve found summer, spring and fall when I was expecting Christmas. 🤷🏼♀️ I’ll take it though! 😃
Nice haul but could barely hear you. I find this on many TH-cam videos, not just yours. People need to speak up frustrating not to hear all the commentary. Thanks. Not being critical just letting you know.
@@christinhunter7083 I found 3 they don't do huge $4 grab bags/boxes they put paper or tissue 💆😂 or junk...I got 3 at 90% off so it $8.50 for 3 thats still a okay deal better than nothing right 😂 it same ones u hauled in video
Sonya Sanford I know, I’m sorry about that! It didn’t seem as loud when I watched it back, but came across louder after it was uploaded. 🤦🏼♀️ Next time I’ll be using a tripod (or voiceover) so the camera isn’t as close to the bags!
I have been calling my stores for a couple of months asking when are they going to do grab bags again. Over and over, they said we don't know but check back in the mornings that's when we find out. I must have called 25 times. Finally, Monday the employee on the phone said, "yes." But there was so much snow, I couldn't go. I went Tuesday. I have never been so disappointed. The bags were worth a couple of dollars. Really junk for $4.00. When I got home, and looked, I wanted to take them back and get my $8.48 cents back for the two bags.
I've been doing the same thing! I've called like everyday! Today! Still nothing. After reading the other comments, I think I'll get a couple of boxes, take them to my car and open them, and if it looks like crap, I won't buy more but if they look good, I'll buy more and repeat. Good luck! Where do you live by the way? I'm central NY
You know I have bought these bags or boxes several times and all I ever get is junk for example last year I bought three boxes after Valentine’s Day maybe it was after Easter all I got was three boxes and I kid you not three boxes of valentines I’m 73 years old and have nothing to do with Valentines. I’m going to ask the local grade score if they need them.
Sue Ross Redmon Donating the valentines is a great idea! I’m sorry you didn’t get anything you could personally use. You never know what you’ll find in the grab bags, that’s for sure. That’s what I like about them, the surprise of what’s inside! I’ve been pretty lucky and usually get something I can use. I have had a couple duds though. I hope you have better luck in the future!
tina fellman This was my first time taking it out of the bag on camera. I thought it would be fun for everyone to unbox with me. Unfortunately the sound came through louder after I uploaded the video. Lesson learned!😃
Omg when you were editing you didn’t notice the excruciating noise?!! Just went with it anyway? Omg I can’t watch anymore.. I would’ve re-shot it or tried cutting the noise parts out of the video. Amateur or just lazy. Quality matters on this competitive TH-cams, just saying..

Nancy Allen Those are wonderful ideas! Thank you so much for sharing!! You definitely have a gift! 😃
@@christinhunter7083 wow i want one of those
I couldn’t finish the video because of the loud noice of the bag, however I loved the things I got to see
That NOISE that sounds like your dragging around a bag of broken glass around it is VERY LOUD every time you touch the bags
Bianca Aguilar I know, I’m sorry about that bag noise! The initial playback was not that loud or obnoxious. 🤷🏼♀️ Next time I’ll be doing a voiceover to keep the background noise down!

Totally agree. Just dump the bag out !!!
@@biancaaguilar5929 loop
I was thinking same lol
Wow you got great stuff!
You hit the jackpot, as far as I'm concerned! I need to get to Michael's... Those baskets alone were worth the trip!
U did really good. Omg I am excited 2 go get a few at my local Micgaels.
Miriam Mendez I hope you found some goodies too!
Can’t believe those baskets were in a grab bag. Great find.
Hi. I Loved your in un-boxing and I must say out of all the un-boxing I've see , yours is the Best!
I am a crafter and this seems unreal if I can't even get one box these people my work there
You did great compared to other ones I've watched.
Marie Barnes Thanks!! 😃
My Michael’s let me fill up a cart of stuff for only $4!!! Posted a haul on my channel lol
jujuinthegym That’s awesome!! I’d love that!! I can’t wait to see what you scored!
Pretty cool baskets and bucket u got some great deals
Amazing deals! I would love to get baskets like those for yarn storage!
Dee Thompson that’s a great idea!
I finally scored grab bags and one box! One Topiary sold, originally for $250.00!!!😱 I'm still sitting in the Conyers Ga Michael's parking lot!! I am so excited!!

Love the paints and stickers! Gold Everything!
Juney Shu I know! I’m excited about those too! 😃
@@christinhunter7083 Wow, we are still at 80%, maybe 2 morrow, or next!
Juney Shu Our Christmas was still at 80% too. Maybe more grab bags to come soon!😃
Wow those baskets are a steal
You got some AWESOME finds!!
You lucked out on the baskets alone
Good haul. As of yet my michaels dosent have grab bags
That’s awesome
Is this in all michaels? And when would it be the next time they can put this? if anyone knows. I had never heard of this and I live 5 minutes from one.😂 LOL
I have yet to find a grab bag at micheals I don’t even think mines carries these

kathy Roach Oh no! Be safe if you’re out and about!
I would make a Spring wreath out of all those flowers.
Vanida Knutson That would be so pretty! I may have to give it a try!
How often r the grab bags
Love the baskets, but man oh man I hate fake flowers. Can donate I guess.
Wow that's a great haul!
I wish I had a Michaels where I live but we don’t :-( I would be in heaven
Skye Beck Oh no, I’m sorry you don’t have one. I didn’t have one nearby growing up. I’m lucky to have a couple close now!
Christin Hunter lucky!!!! I think the closest one to me is over an hour away I live in a very small town lol
Mix the acorns up and put in glass jars or better yet use as a filler for your baskets. Fix the crayons n glue back shut use those in the welcome baskets for ppl that have kids
Teresa Lay great ideas! 😃
Do they do this bags every month? Or when???

I enjoyed watching and the noise didn't bother me.. I.mean.its plastic.. And I knew tend to amplify any noises... It was not annoying...!!!
Thank you for understanding!! I appreciate your comment! :)
So many ways to use the acorns!!
What are grab bags? We dont have them in UK.

Was this bag only 4.00
Marcy Whitesell Yes, each bag and box was only $4 😃
Where do you get the grab bags?...I have been to Michaels many times and have never seen any
Pam Miller At my stores they are in large bins up front near the cash registers. Good luck, I hope you find some!
Please, zoom out. You might want to invest in a tripod.
Good haul but your killing me with that bag
It’s hard to enjoy the video with all that noise coming from the bags.
When do the grab bags come out ?
My store I travel to had theirs all out Tuesday. Mine were just full of huge containers of ornaments, a lil greenery, some easels but it looked like someone had went through all of the boxes but the huge white bags were closed. They said they told everyone Feb 1st but ended up putting them out early.

Take items out of bag first next time noise is horrible
I can't barely hear you on my phone and I have my utube on
Your soundis off sound like glass breaking when you open the bags
Your bag sounds like shards of metal probably moving you phone away from speaker would be good
You need to use a tripod.
Nice haul but could barely hear you. I find this on many TH-cam videos, not just yours. People need to speak up frustrating not to hear all the commentary. Thanks. Not being critical just letting you know.
... as long as you could see what was in the boxes you didn't miss much just a bunch of jabbering on and on
Can't hear you and the noise from the bags is horrible and the camera is making me dizzy.
My grab bags have tissue and small bags I have bever seen a huge bag been 2 years no luck
Bummer! Hopefully you're able to snag a good one in the future!
@@christinhunter7083 I found 3 they don't do huge $4 grab bags/boxes they put paper or tissue 💆😂 or junk...I got 3 at 90% off so it $8.50 for 3 thats still a okay deal better than nothing right 😂 it same ones u hauled in video
Would have enjoyed more but too noisy. 🙁

@@christinhunter7083 Voiceovers definitely don't have the same appeal for me.
Had to leave during 1st bag..way too much noise..just cut the bag ..sorry had to leave
Wow....
Put the camera on something to film that way you have both hands free

Unbag everything first.. much much to noisy!🤨🥳😳👎🏼👂🏻👂🏻
Karla Anderson That’s my plan next time! The sound came through louder after I uploaded the video unfortunately. 🤦🏼♀️
Tfs
I don't understand.... why don't you just take everything out of the bag, instead of reaching in there everytime making that noise.
tina fellman This was my first time taking it out of the bag on camera. I thought it would be fun for everyone to unbox with me. Unfortunately the sound came through louder after I uploaded the video. Lesson learned!😃
The noise from the bags was so bad, it was like nails on a chalkboard.
Please put you camera on a tripod as it spoils the video completely by using one hand and all that nose.
Could you speak a little louder, I am half deaf and your words are mumbled and I can't understand you. Please, Thanks
... well luckily you really didn't have to hear much it's a visual she showed you everything there was to see!!!!!
Cant hear, and annoying rattling sound,
Omg when you were editing you didn’t notice the excruciating noise?!! Just went with it anyway? Omg I can’t watch anymore.. I would’ve re-shot it or tried cutting the noise parts out of the video. Amateur or just lazy. Quality matters on this competitive TH-cams, just saying..
Couldnt watch this makes me nervous, you need either a tripod or someone to help video, unpacking one handed is unnerving
