SHE knows very well that betting doesn’t always pay off.

But savvy shopper Becky decided to take the risk by spending on a £100 box of unclaimed mail to see what she got.

And she thought she had hit the jackpot as soon as she opened it and saw some well-known brands inside.

Becky began revealing her collection with a beautiful printed bag and a mini backpack with the same design.

Next came a pair of blue light glasses, which Becky quickly tried on.

But it was the next package that really made her heart skip a beat – when she saw the adidas logo.

“I was so excited when I opened this package,” she said.

“It was an Adidas box with sneakers inside!”

Unfortunately, they weren’t her size, so Becky asked anyone taller than 7ft to get in touch if they wanted to.

Next came a new teddy bear, as she said: “This is where things got really interesting!”

She grabbed a new black sweater from the coveted brand Stone Island.

“I literally have no idea if it’s real or not,” Becky noted.

But she said there was a QR code on the tag, so she could scan it and see.

The ‘designer’ products continued with some Longchamp-looking bags selling for around £100 at Selfridges.

And there were also backpacks of the same style.

She then began the second part of her video by scanning the QR code on Stone Island’s sweater to see if “it was legit or not.”

“Drum roll please everyone,” she said.

“It was fake.

“I don’t know why I look so happy about this, I actually felt kind of sad!”

Where to find mystery boxes

MYSTERY boxes are becoming increasingly popular, with people interested in taking a chance on purchasing one. But where can you get one?

Charity stores

Many charity shops have started putting together mystery boxes as a way of getting rid of stock that they would otherwise be unable to sell. While you can never guarantee what you will receive, these boxes are usually cheaper than those purchased elsewhere.

eBay

Many retailers use eBay to sell their inventory, with options on the auction site including unclaimed baggage or package returns all bundled together in a mystery box. It’s not like a normal ‘auction’ though – there will usually be a buy now price, so it’s like any other internet transaction.

Online retailers

As the popularity of mystery boxes increases, other retailers have begun selling them in hopes that they will be a hit with customers. Take a look at sites like Amazon, Etsy, and Wowcher, and you’ll often find that mystery boxes are also listed by genre.

Google

If there’s a specific niche mystery box you’re looking for, it’s always worth seeking it out. There are so many websites out there that sell mystery boxes that you will undoubtedly find what you are looking for.

As with purchasing anything online, make sure you buy from a reputable retailer and a secure website.

She scored a 100% cashmere sweater from Lily Silk, which costs £225 on the website.

“How crazy!” she exclaimed.

She then pulled out a bag with the name Michael Kors on the front, but Becky was under no illusions that the bag was “definitely fake but still cute.”

The next pack contained a Sassy Saints manicure set, selling for around £100, followed by a white Represent hoodie which “definitely looked fake but is still cute”.

In the next box, Becky found five pairs of sunglasses, before opening the one she was most excited about.

However, it was somewhat disappointing as it contained a huge silver cup trophy – which someone pointed out in the comments was a replica of the Champions League cup.

She concluded the trip with a clothes steamer, a box of essential oils for hair loss, more Longchamp bags and a kit to make necklaces with “chains and charms”.

People were quick to comment on the unboxing, with one writing: “Received my box… love it!!!”

“I love @Sassy Saints you are so lucky!” another gushed.
