Keep your eyes peeled friends, I will have a bonus video for you this week! HINT: it’s a tutorial!! 🌸 🌼🫶🏻🥰😘

Spell check your Trinket sign 😅

Next time put color dot stickers on the bottom of the boxes so you can tell what is in each one. That way if this happens again instead of having to open them all you can just look at the sticker and hand them the one they want.

The parent should have handled the situation better and not put you in that position where you felt awkward. You did a lovely thing by opening the boxes xx

Thank you so much that is so sweet of you to say! And I agree, I wish the parent wouldve stepped in!

If you didnt put the sign out with what could be in the box they wouldn't know what they were missing. A mystery box is a game of chance. You get what you pick.

I started doing mystery boxes from your suggestion thank you by the way. I have definitely found it’s better not to let them know what their options are. They will get their heart set on one and be disappointed when they don’t get it if they see their options. No sign is better or one just saying mystery box and the price. If they ask I just say it’s a tiny plushie. It’s a surprise. It could be anything and they still buy it. I also put stickers and candy in mine 😊

That is very interesting. Thank you for sharing the input and the candy is a great idea to add in as well! I will have to try removing the key and see how that goes for me! Thanks! 😊

Definitely make someone keep/pay for something they ripped. I saw another vendor nix the sign for the mystery boxes, maybe just do a silhouette of the shape/size to give them idea but no real images? Also the cherries as a trinket tray are a bit strange imo, but if you made them full balls they'd be super cute rear view mirror hangers!

Hi I enjoyed your vblog . I have a suggestion for your mystery boxes and the situation you had with the kiddo. I would take the pictures away and use words like small plushie included. Children need to be excited about the mystery of what's in the box instead of expecting a specific plushie. And once they see the possibilities they focus on the one they want. I see it all the time with the store bought eggs. If you want the pictues you could do a picture where the pictures overlay each other and only the top one is completely visible. This way the get an idea but not all if them show. Then there shouldn't be too much disappointment.

@BlondieKnots

Ohh yes! Thank you for that suggestion, because I really dont feel comfortable not providing the sign but I love the idea of the overlay! I think I will try to reformat my sign to be like that! Thank you so much, that was really helpful! 🥰

hi just found your videos this evening and hey are great. just an idea though the trinket dishes i feel if you find a way to make them at least two rounds deeper to make it so it holds more so what u place on it and if poss u can use spray on starch to the whole thing or just the sides and underneath . they use the spray starch on the snowflakes for xmas trees. this may make them more sellable if they have bi better sides and the starch will make the whole thing bit more rigid to hold the sides up.

Love the trinket dishes. Loved them all!

I would keep one or two extra of each item that is in the mystery boxes behind the counter so to speak. That way if you hear someone is hoping for a specific plushie you can (based on age and chances of them ruining your boxes) just offer to sell them the one they want at the same price.

You are so talented, thank you for sharing! I am so getting those markers! And, even as I am thanking, I am asking 😂… Would you consider showing how you design your signs, as I know what I like but don’t know how to get there, especially on a tiny chalkboard. I would also love to see some of your highlights on your displays (what you thought worked especially well). Maybe even other vendors’ ideas , but of course, only do what you want to do with your channel. I don’t have your sense of design so just trying to sit at your feet and learn.

A suggestion for your mystery boxes, so that you don't need to open them all open to find a particular item. Perhaps put a small letter or number on the back or bottom of the box referencing the item.

I would love a video on how to find markets to do.

Good job.
