That stuff would make a school very happy! People don’t realize that teachers etc. are allotted a small amount of supplies they’ll need for the year, the rest comes out of their own pocket! The kids that their parents can’t afford to buy their kids school supplies; the teacher buys!!
For the foil...if you have a photo too big for a picture. Crinkle the foil, pull it open, leaving it wrinkled. Place with glue or tape on back on a plain background. Then place the picture in the middle. Replace the glass in frame. And you have a special photo to hang or place in your home. My brother painted on glass and used colored foils to fill in places on the painting, for an unusual affect. Was beautiful. I would have a great time making things with all the stuff you got.😊🐶
I really think that your dad would enjoy doing some of those crafts for your mom!!! I think she would love it!!! Your dad really has a fun personality!!
I was thinking the same thing. I run a craft group for seniors and hope i can find these at Michaels. Right now we are not able to use the craft room because of COVID, but I am making plans for when we can open up.
My boss gives out cards for every holiday, made up or not. This year's for Valentine's Day she gave us each a Valentine sticker box and another with a search & find. The ones you got in the box would be totally up her alley. You are never too old to be a "kid".
Hi Melissa, I worked on our children's ministries at my church and we would have been so grateful for someone to donate craft stuff like that!!!! Because it is very costly to buy!!! We are a small church, so every penny counts...maybe there is a church near you that you can bless. Just food for thought. Love your show!!! Watch every night. Bless you and your family!!!
I think those little red 4x4 are for treats or twist it like crepe paper and tape it up. Make the necklaces, put a card in each envelope with a few stickers on the envelope and drop it off at a nursing home. You be surprised how they like stuff like this to give 1 to each patient. Some patients get tons of stuff from relatives and the next person has no one so they don’t get anything. Let the staff write them out but have everything in order. Either you start decorating or donate to a place where the decorations will be used. I put those stickers in my birthday and Christmas cards and then on envelopes. OR get married on Valentines Day and you’re all set.
Oh that is so very sweet of you to do that. I actually donated most of it to the arc community center for adults living independently with mental disabilities.
@@TheCheapChick yes thank you I am sure they were. You’re amazing I love you and your family. Keep up the great work. PS dad write mom a sweet love letter!!
Oh.my gosh.... I'm a teaching assistant in a primary school in England... we don't have any craft stores over here that do such great deals like this.... alot of the time we use our own money to buy craft stuff as schools never have any money!!! Our stores should follow what your stores do!!!! Love your channel ❤
Hey Melissa, thank you so much for sharing! If you decide to sell the cake pop sticks then make sure to sell the red and pink foil with them as a set because the foils are to place over top of the cake pops or whatever kind of suckers that you make with the sticks😊🍭
Think your haul is brill, foil can be used for many things, as well as Christmas crafts. If you have craft pnches you could make confetti and the balloon arches would be awesome for a wedding reception photo booth. Love the idea of your mom and dad leaving each other little notes in the flamingo box.
Wow you really scored on useful holiday gear. You can definenately make your money back and a little profit. Some to family, some to local school then sell the rest. It was good to see what $40. buys its like easy money. You have the best day.🐾🐺👍
I really did score. Decided not to sell any this time. Put sone away for friends an family then donated 2 big boxes to a local community center for adults living independently with disabilities. They were so happy. So glad my client told me about them.
I actually donated most of it I didn't give to my friends to the arc. It's a independent living neighborhood for adults living with mental disabilities. Thanks for watching!
Those foil packets are awesome for like candied pecans,I usually make them during the holidays so yeah those are neat. However I'm not sure if they can be used for it,I normally get like medium sized boxes. But I'm sure that would be useful for like and arts and crafts project. 🥰aww just noticed your cute doggie pillow,too cute.☺
My mom got be that pillow a few years ago. I'm going to bring all those foils to RI. My cousin loves to craft and bake so I hope she can use them. Thanks for watching!
Thank you so very much you make me smile laugh and giggle and just have a good time I wish that you would send things to Minnesota but I understand why not but thanks for making my day Ona Williams
I love watching people open their Michaels grab bags/boxes. It's fun to think of ways to repurpose stuff or figure out what I'd do with them. I love that you donate, too. I bet they'd love some of that stuff at a women's shelter or Boys' and Girls' club.
Girl if you are trying to get rid of any of those stick books, mom would use them with her kids she watches! And if you don't keep all the balloon arches, I'd totally take one of those off your hands for Sadies 1st birthday! Lol just throwing it out there!
You got a lot of great stuff in your boxes! My favorite were the sticker books. That would be so sweet if Mom and Dad wrote love notes to each other to leave in the flamingo💗💗💗
I would definitely save them for a yard sale because you can make your money back and then some. still give a few to your friends but I would I would keep it all and then have a big yard sale and then you can buy a whole lot more
You did get some cute things!! As usual, my grandkids would have a field day with these things, lol. I'm glad you donate or give them away and make other people happy. Hugs to Paco!!! Miss that baby this time!! 🥰🥰🥰
Hi Melissa great video great haul great box's you got some great stuff . You and your boyfriend can make stuff for each other.. are you going to be doing a craft video.. you can make magnets and put on the refrigerator .
Hey! Thanks so much! So glad you enjoyed it. I may try to do some crafts but don't think I'll make a video. Gonna give alot away to friends and family.
Great things, glad you will donate some of them! I also bought a whole bunch of Valentine’s for .10 cents, crazy!! I will also give away a lot of them!! Awesome video. Thank you for sharing!! 😇🙏🏻😇
Hi. Melissa. OMG, what a huge Valentine haul. I can not believe you got triple the stuff to donate. I wonder, you you really crafty or not. I am crafty but, I love to crochet. I can make other things as well. God Bless you Melissa. Be safe. Maria. I also enjoyed the haul. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hey! This was some pretty neat boxes. I am so not crafty but maybe I'm play around with some of these. I'm so glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching!
Cooking, wrapping up food, gift wrapping as smithy does from galvin and Stacey etc. You could store the craft trays contains in bags and list on eBay etc.
Thank you Melissa for letting us know it was grab bag day. Love what you got. I didn't make it to my Michaels because my car broke down but I always miss the sale so I was so excited when you posted it. God bless. From Michigan.
Wish our craftstores in Belgium would do grabboxes.😥😥😥But they don't. I love opening mystery boxes!!! And I have the same duvet cover from the limited quantity deals from wish!! It's really soft to sleep in!!!
I wish yours did them too. You know I love a mystery. Yup that's from the limited quantity deals. Though I'm still in the process of doing the room so will be back to the old way till mid March in my videos. Since I prefilm usually.
These boxes to see what are in them🤩. I have yet to get some of them or the bags. I would get the boxes instead of the bags ☺️. I have to drive like an hour round trip to get some of these boxes. I will have to do it one time for fun🤩😍!!
It really would be great for teachers. I donated most of it to a community center for adults living independently with mental disabilities. They were so happy for it.
Nursing homes will probably take them if unopened. Speak to the activities director. They could decorate their facility with those crafts, banners, and kits
The foil could be used to cover the cake pops,,, and the crafts kits can be used anytime even to make Christmas decorations. I enjoyed your video, first time viewer. Maybe donate craft kits and cards to a Seniors Home or daycare.
Hey! I've heard those foils could be used for so much now. I'm totally going to find a good home for all the stuff I don't want to keep. Thanks for watching!
I hope you can find some. They do go pretty quick. I hope you are feeling OK. You have been in my prayers every night. Jen has been keeping me updated. Xoxo.
A day care or a school would love that since most teaches have to spend their own money for crafts and some kids parents can't afford vday cards or may for get them. Just a thought.
Those are really awesome. Thank you. My parents were going to go to there store but I told them I didn't have any more time to film and off to work today.
You could also donate some of the stuff to your local elementary school. The foil wraps you could bake cookies or put candy in it and give it away to classmates.
loved the things you showed from the boxes are remnants of what was left of the valentine's products from a store you keep it all or you also give it to people or donate it
@@TheCheapChick yes !! I have the same issue lol way too much that’s for sure. I want to host giveaways on my channel but the shipping will be just too much lol the price of a whole box.
@@TheCheapChick well Idk if you use pirateship .com yet but they are cheaper than going to the post office lol I don’t ship anyway else now lol it’s amazing.
Yes I sure did. I gave some away then donated the rest to a community center for adults living independently with mental disabilities. They were so happy for them. Thanks for watching!
If these boxes are not an omen telling you to have a valentines wedding then I don’t know what is would be amazing all the valentines card could be your invitations 😉😉 and u would need no more decorations everything is their and all for $20 perfect 🤩
