Hey guys! Today we have a home decor mystery box! I was so excited about this box but im not sure how I feel about it in the end?? Let me know what you guy think! Love ya💖

When I saw the crosses I instantly thought “Children of the Corn” 😂

That cross garland looks like something you'd put up on a rickety wooden farmhouse to keep demons sealed inside. Once you break/damage the garland seal, all hell is unleashed. Plague and evil spirits attacking the townsfolk. Fire torches and witch hunts.

I was curious and found them on the site: "Spread some love this holiday season with our Spread Some Love Clay Heart Box, which comes filled with 12 individual mini hearts! Spread the hearts like confetti throughout greenery and candlesticks on your holiday tablescape or place an individual heart on top of each tablesetting to bring smiles to those seated at your table! Once emptied, re-use this clay box to store your keys, spare change, paperclips, earrings, or other small necessities looking for a home!"

In case of vampires, tie garlic bulbs on the rope between the crosses and put them around your door...worked in old movies!😂

The crosses look straight outta Children of the Corn to me. LOL

For those plant pots, you can set live plants in their nursery pots in them. It's a way to "pretty up" those ugly plastic pots while letting you take them out to deep water or fertilize.

What a baffling box! I'm glad you were able to make light of things and see the use in them. The crosses feel a little blair witch to me and the clay hearts are so confusing!

I was not feeling those crosses! What a weird item to put in a mystery box, especially when it can be received by anyone of any religion. The other products, aside from the woven basket, everything seemed so cheaply made!! No sense paying $150 for things you can find at the dollar store

Separate pricing from Decor Steals: 82" Cross Wood Bead Garland: $16.99 Spread Some Love Clay Box: $19.99 Neutral Striped Cotton Basket: $26.99 Metal Planters: Embossed Set of 2 with Stands: $64.99 Rustic Galvanized Metal and Wood Lantern: $32.99 Total = $161.95

12:48 you could get some scented oils, add a few drops for the clay to absorb and hide the hearts around, just add more drops when the smell fades

I am from honduras and didn't expect at all to see something in that box from there! Honduras is beautiful and clay is one of the most prominent crafts of the country! they clay pieces can be used for decorations, gifts, but you could use them for baking as well!!

There is no disappointment when you upload a new video!

Those crosses would be a great base for some wicked Halloween decorations!

$150 for disappointment and bruised elbows 😂

Those crosses are more ominous than the bloodiest of crucifixes.

This is worth about $60 in the Marshall's clearance aisle

It's the random cutting herself off to have fun with the echo in the planters that got me giggling. 🤭

That is definitely a different box. I do get more of the boho style from this box. I am worried about the cross garland. As soon as I seen them I got bad feelings in my stomach. It reminds me something from a scary movie like the Blair witch project 😱. I don’t think you got your $150 value at all. And your right with it being a mystery box it should be valued about $250. Thanks for sharing this with us Alexandria ♥️

I hope Tater is feeling better 😊

You could use the crosses at Halloween - vampire themed party?! 😂😂😂

I love the clay hearts. Would be great as name setting for dinner parties or to personalize with words/quotes.

I got one of these surprise boxes a while back and that cross garland was in it. I donated that immediately. I do like those planters. I’d put rocks in the bottom and then put a plant in a plastic pot with drainage holes inside. That way the plant can drain into the rocks.

I think with the planters, maybe painting them with some dark grey/black outdoor paint and sealer would work. The top of the lantern feels bird poopish lol The crosses were kind of creepy.

We need the TJ Maxx comparison shopping trip!!! We neeeeeeeed it.

From Decor Steals: Spread some love this holiday season with our Spread Some Love Clay Heart Box, which comes filled with 12 individual mini hearts!

Treat yourself or spread some love by gifting this Spread Some Love Clay Heart Box to a loved! This unique piece will make a memorable gift that anyone will cherish for years to come!

This was kind of a weird one. The creepy cross garland and inexplicable clay pot full of clay hearts really threw me off, and the $150 price tag is definitely excessive. Which all seems extra strange considering their regular box is usually pretty good!🤷‍♀️

I’d use the clay hearts to hold down napkins at an outdoor party or picnic 😊

I had the same thought about the wooden beaded crosses. I would write things on the hearts and pull them out when you need a pick me up.

I am a bit of a blanket problem as well but it's ok I love a good comfy blanket!!!

If they're porous, you can TOTALLY use them with essential oils! You can put them in your closet, bathroom, dresser drawers, etc!

“I’m from Kentucky, I’m Baptist” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I feel like you have to be from the Bible Belt to find that funny 🤣

you totally paid the exact price as picking up these things in homegoods, i thought you'd get some sort of savings for sure!

If you lightly sand the wooden legs on the "plant stands", collect the sawdust, then mix it with some wood glue to repair the split leg. The sawdust conceals the glue. Once dry, sand lightly. The clay hearts would be decent to keep outside with some citronella essential oil dripped on them.

Alexandria-take us on a tour of your box stash please!

The clay heart box. Clay is porous and perfect for adding essential oils to scent a room. Just sprinkle on seversl drops of essential oil, leave the lid off, and let it scent a small space. ❤

My favorite part was "echooo! Brrrrrrrrp" loved the metal barrels and the lantern.

Would you please do another random roundup soon? Those are so fun!!

Vampire huntin' kit 😂 I'm dying 🤣🤣🤣

When you have a get together, For the barrels, instead of plants, you could use the larger one for drinks, if you fill them with ice and put your bottles or cans in there. The smaller one could hold bags of chips or anything smaller and individually packaged. Just a suggestion! ☺️👍

I liked the style of all the items and they seemed to me like they would be reasonably universally appealing. The poorer quality, however, doesn't appear to justify the price. It was still fun to watch you unbox it!

Dampen the basket with a spay bottle or steamer. Stuff it with towels or blankets. When it dries it should hold the shape.

I really love how honest you are in your unboxing. I get annoyed watching some unboxers where everything is wonderful and gorgeous. I love that you keep it real!

Cut the strings on the crosses, and use them for trivets. Use the barrels for ice chests, when you are outside at the fire pit, or inside, to hold water bottles or other beverages

You can get that Exact hamper at target. Honestly, that paper looks like something they have put three large printing press and they’re like tester sheets where they have you know the tester pieces and see how much ink is coming out but honestly so far everything I’ve seen come out of that box is for $50 it less all over to target except the crosses on a string that’s just flat out odd

Not a big fan of the crosses. Kind of creepy unless you are regularly visited by vampires. Then very useful.

I would either donate the crosses or take them apart and use the beads as decoration in something else. That’s some voodoo looking nightmare.

Ok there's just something extra awesome about someone who will literally pause a video to point out an unintended pun! These are the reasons I love you! As an atheist I would be very upset with a cross-garland. What would I do with that? Other than throw it the hell away? I feel like the clay heart box needs an explanation. I'm very confused by it. Although it is lovely.

Those crosses are definitely giving horror movie where the scarecrow comes to life. Little spooky

Alex, the pot you plant the plant in needs drainage holes but not the pot you put that pot into ^^ Otherwise you have water all over your floors.

There's something very Blair Witch about the crosses. Like you'd see them in the house of an eccentric old lady who the towns people are afraid of because a kid died decades ago and there may be a curse involved.

Omg the crosses are very voodoo ish!!!! They’re just creepy to me. The little tin things have potential (I’d probably paint them) but I have a feeling at the first strong wind they will go flying across the yard lol. This whole box to me was just 😒😒😒 especially for the price.

Maybe you should use a permanent marker and put small kind words on the hearts ❤️ and hand them to your friends. Since it says spread love. Simple uplifting words written on the hearts is what I believe it’s for. As I’ve seen similar but they already had words on them. This way you can make them your own to a loved one. Like “stay strong, you got this etc encouragement words. Would mean a lot to those close to you. Especially during difficult times. Not my favorite box either. Maybe don’t do the mystery boxes. Much love as always. I adore you and you bring light and laughter and love into my heart and life. 💜

You could use the big blue tub as an outdoor trash can for those parties you mentioned

I think they're indoor jardinieres that you stand plants in so that the water doesn't drip out the bottom when you water them. Design wise they're... a choice. 😂

I was so let down. Definitely not as good as their other boxes. And you just KNOW those planters are gonna rust. Bummer. I just want to tell you, your hair looks beautiful today!

I have a woven basket like that, which I got specifically for my cats to play in! xD They love it!

First item is a laundry hamper. Just literally fill it with your dirty laundry and it will re shape. It’s literally just a laundry hamper definitely not a beach bag but to each his own.

Yeah, the cross garland is just not appropriate. If the company does not specifically market itself as a Christian home decor company, then including something like that is way off-base. I mean, I'm Jewish, if I ordered a box from them and got cross-themed decor items, I would be pretty annoyed and honestly would probably ask for at least a partial refund, because that's not like "Oh this is cute but I don't have use for it" or something. Heck, there are even plenty of Christians who don't want to drape their home in crosses. That just seems really ignorant of them and ought to have been an extra item you could purchase separately, not something included in a box that could end up being purchased by anyone.

You could apply some scented oils to the little hearts and place them around the home. (that's what I did when I received a similar looking gift for my birthday)

Those tin plant pots could make good ice tubs for your drinks in summer.

If you flip the planter holder upside down you can use them as little tables😂

I feel terrible but I laughed a bit when you hit your elbow the second time 😭

I love the heart thing full of hearts.. no idea what it is, but I would put essential oils on it as a kind of defuser

Honestly, I like this one! Fits a lot of aesthetics, including cottagecore... Or, in true Aurelio Voltaire nature, paint it all black! (Maybe not the nice basket... Unless you dye it🦇). The crosses look neat. I'm also glad to see many big items. Sturdy, too, instead of just plastic from the dollar store.

What an eclectic box… I love the idea of the clay heart and maybe passing them out too friends or family then reusing the box. The planters are cute but seem a bit cheap, especially the stands. The crosses…Ermmm…Great Halloween decor maybe? lol

The plants you put in the tins should already have a pot that has a drainage hole. That way you can take the plant in and out and change it around

Love the Van Helsing reference!!! 😍😍😍

"soil, dirt, rocks.... whatever plants need...." 😂

I believe that the clay heart box and the clay pieces that are inside are meant to be a defuser of some sort. You pour essential oils onto the little hearts inside. I like it! However, As for the creepy wooden cross garland, it gives me fall Halloween haunted house vibes. It would go nicely with my other creepy decor! It's very hills have eyes meets the children of the corn.

Those crosses are straight out of the Blair Witch Project! 😬

You know, the more I think about it the more I realize I absolutely would use the basket as a jumbo beach bag. That would actually be so useful. Alternatively I'd use it to carry clean laundry to put away.

Hi Miss Ally. You are burning me up dear. Those long sleeve sweatshirts are killing me. It's t-shirt weather. Sleeveless shirts & an old-man's cardigan, if you will. Interesting items, thank you. Have a great Friday. ❤

Almost seems like want the customers to be cursed or break some cruses lol, with those crosses and the little clay heart box. But I agree those crosses are definitely giving off back demon back vibes lol

Also, I really liked the stuff in this box. Though, I like farmhouse decor and I do think if the products arent made well it really devalues them. Thats sad. 😢❤

2:47 LOVE that basket!!!!!!! I want it!!!

Hi Alexandra 💜🤗, I have one of those big woven baskets and I use it as a toy basket for my Dog and he can get his toys out for himself and if I need to move it I just pick it up by the handles and move it easily. Also you can wash it on gentle if it gets dirty. The heart box is so cute, and I think those clay hearts go in your brown and white sugar bins and other food you don't want to dry out and get hard. I have some that are ginger bread men and I love them. The flower bins are cute but I don't know if I like the stands for them. And those day of the dead looking crosses creep me the heck out, maybe those crosses are meant to hang over your bed to keep evil spirits away while you sleep 🤣🤣🤣. Anyway fun video. Love you 💕😊

I would maybe use those clay hearts as napkin weights for a dinner party, they’d work especially well outdoors if there’s a bit of a breeze around

The van helsing crosses 😂

Your hair looks AMAIZNG and so full!!!!

I think your 2 planter's would be good place to store all your makeup, skincare, etc that you intend to donate and that way it's not stashed on table

Brawndo. It's what plants crave.

I would wrie messages on the hearts and leave them somewhere so someone can find it.❤

For a moment I got excited at those beaded crosses because I thought they were human sticks, like a sort of beaded Witch Bair decoration, then was disappointed XD

I'd use the lantern to put a potted plant in and hang that on the porch. That would be so cute!

Clay can absorb water and can be placed in plant pots to help slow drying out.

I've seen a lot of new items for room scents that actually are clay items you put essential oils on & use as room scents so even if that's what the hearts aren't advertised as, it's a great idea!

Ooh this is crying out for a AR TJMaxx/ thrift store remake In the vein of last Halloween 🙏🤞

Those decoration boxes always disappoint no matter who I watch

I also thought Blair witch with those crossea

I loved the heart box. But I like rustic things. The only thing I didn’t like was the scary cross garland and the fact that the planters were very poorly made.

The crosses look like the stuff hanging in the forest in the Blair witch project

I would use 3 or 4 the little hearts grouped together as pot stands maybe? xx

4:08 I would undo the crosses and use the beads to make a new garland

i love the clay heart but i collect heart things so you know ha ha the lantern is awesome to-watching you open stuff like this is so awesome trying to make things seem better ha ha

Is it weird that the crosses are so creepy I may want that garland for Halloween now?

The woven basket can also be used for your dirty clothes because my sisters have a woven basket they paid for st target that they use as their laundry basket

Spray the crosses black/dry brush silver and use them for Halloween decor.

So I don't know if that's what it's for BUT you can put essential oils on clay and use them as an air freshener so you definitely could add a few drops and then set them up on a shelf or something.

In Australia we definitely have a large Christian community and there are local churches and everything but it's no where near to the level of America so when you pulled out the cross garland it was super disturbing to me... like when you are climbing up the stairs at night and your muscle memory miscounted so when you go to step to reach the last one and miss, you're just falling through the air until you crumple on the ground of the landing and you're like "what was that about...?" Like nothing weird or unusual but also, yes.... yes it is highly weird AND unusual.
