    Hey guys! Today we are going to try to recreate the Decocrated box and its $200 value at Homegoods and Tj-Maxx! Let me know what you guys think of how we did the re-creation in this video where we do both the $90 price and the $200 value! Also let me know what you guys think of the items I picked! Love ya💖

    So it took me a few minutes to process the decorate box. I was trying to figure out where I've seen similar signs (two pumpkins, reversible sign, Autum frame) and I realized it. The Dollar Spot at Target has similar items ranging from $1-$5 (I think average $3/each). For those three items alone def not over $15 total. I've seen similar tiered trays in the Dollar Spot as well (think valentines and Christmas time). Even the garland similar quality no more than $10. I would be disappointed that a sub box would cost that much for so little value and then to read the leaflet stating over $200 in value. While the items you bought were bigger than what would normally come in a sub box, def more worth your money when you have plans to use at your store (totally awesome idea by the way). I think your video reminds me why I don't get sub boxes... but love watching your videos on them 🤣🤣🤣 call me crazy. I started watching last year with the advent calendars and I just can't stop watching now. You crack me up, Ryn and Tater are so cute, and I just enjoy your fun easy going attitude, even if you think you're struggling. Struggle is real friend!!

      I don't think the box was even $50 worth of stuff tbh. So far I found a $20 candle holder that is very close to the one in the box, a similar pair of pumpkin cut outs for $6, way nicer framed signs for $7-$15, small wooden shelf sitting signs range from $6-$12, faux eucalyptus garland $6. So that's a range of $45-$59 value. Absolute rip off. *edit* forgot the tiered tray. It looks basic and poor quality, so I'd say $12-20 range. So I guess it's almost $90.

It’s sad but on the other hand you can’t keep saying the value is $200 or more when it’s clearly not. When you go out to do the $200 value don’t worry about size or anything.

I couldnt find this ghost at any other store so I decided I was going to buy it, but also mentioned it to the cashier. She asked me if I wanted a discount and I said if I could get one that would be awesome. She walked into the office behind the registers and all I heard was oh OK, oh! And she walks back out and says that's how it's suppose to be and shows me where the on off switch button is 🤦‍♀️ I don't know what she told her manager but I assume the manager thought I told her something about the try me button on it. I told her no, there's suppose to be a plastic cover on it so the batteries didn't fall out and then I showed her it was completely unglued. I wasn't expecting a huge discount, but I mean a dollar off or something would have been nice. I was very irritated though with the manager saying it was suppose to come like that 🙄 this ghost was $18.

    I definitely like both of your recreations over what you were sent! I know darn well the stuff you were sent wasn't worth the money you spent on the box itself. I worked in a "bargain" store. The owner bought palettes of goods from retailers for pennies on the dollar, then we cleaned up the stuff, marked it up, and sold it. These subscription companies are ripping people off because they get bulk discounts but don't pass along their savings. The "value" of those boxes is probably closer to what they paid for a case of each item.

    If you put a piece of wood over the back of the ghost sign to cover up the light stuffs, those ghost would be a pretty good shape to like paint the back as fall leaves and write sweater weather on the bottom. And and boom your signs reversible too.

    The fact you can do it *SO* much better than they can - *you* shouldn't be apologizing for/explaining - *they* should! Love this video & it made me want to run to Home Goods/TJ Maxx.

    I'd love to see if you can find the exact items you're receiving in the decocrated boxes online and how much they actually cost.

    • @ANPC-pi9vu
      @ANPC-pi9vu Před rokem +2

      Yeah. I'm betting the $5 to $10 range at best. It was a pretty terrible box.

    • @ANPC-pi9vu
      @ANPC-pi9vu Před rokem +2

      I didn't find the exact items save for the garland. So far I found a $20 candle holder that is very close to the one in the box, a similar pair of pumpkin cut outs for $6, way nicer framed signs for $7-$15, small wooden shelf sitting signs range from $6-$12, faux eucalyptus garland $6. So that's a range of $45-$59 value. Absolute rip off. *edit* forgot the tiered tray. It looks basic and poor quality, so I'd say $12-20 range. So I guess it's almost $90 if you want generic cheap minimalist decor.

    I think the comparison is fair because you are paying the retail price in your recreations, so the values should be equal. I like your decorative videos. Rather than trying to match item to item, maybe you could do a video where you take a subscription box's theme and see what you would curate from Maxx Goods and compare that with what you get in an unboxing.

  • @PumpkinBecki
    @PumpkinBecki Před rokem +3

    Ooh I love the stack of white pumpkins "statue"!! Both your recreations were sooooo much more visually appealing than Decocrated. Though if I'm being totally honest...I think I preferred the small 2 sided Fall/Halloween sign from Decocrated to your lit ghost one, but heck that's just personal choice 😊xx

  • @karaleecupcake
    @karaleecupcake Před rokem +1

    I love that you did a $90 recreation and a $200 recreation! It definitely shows that you're not getting your moneys worth or value in the Decocrated box. I love both of the recreations!!!

    I swear EVERYTHING that comes out of EVERY decocrated box can be bought at my local Dollar General. DG now has that "Boujee" home decor section and a lot of their stuff is super cute for very reasonable prices. I could ABSOLUTELY recreate the entire decocrated box for half the price and would look great, would be something people would want to put in their house, and would look like it was worth way more than it actually cost. That box is such a rip off and I'd be super mad that I paid that much money for something I could get better of at the Dollar General.

  • @melissamccall1182
    @melissamccall1182 Před rokem +4

    I love your substitutions! I'm now obsessed with scouring Home Goods near me for that Boo sign...I MUST HAVE IT! Overall, I feel that Deocrated is overrated and way over priced. Granted, it comes right to your door and you don't have to shop, BUT...there is so much fun inventory in store! It'd be great to watch another CZcamsr unbox Decocrated, make a list of the items, and go shop for similar, but better stuff :)

  • @kittyghost
    @kittyghost Před rokem +2

    Always love the home decor videos! I think the two in one foliage candle holder was a great idea. I think that if they focused on quality and less about quantity, the box could be great. They could do a 2 in 1 decor item, a sign, and a tray and call it a day as long as its great quality.

  • @sdean7607
    @sdean7607 Před rokem +3

    Oh hon I thought that was so overpriced and underwhelming. And I was saying to my family that we will not be getting this box. Your finds are so much better and you know that they got it a very big discount.
    We love watching your videos.

    @melissalee2286 Před rokem

    I thought I'd like subscription decor boxes, but I discovered that I really only liked receiving the package, not it's contents. So, I set a quarterly budget for myself and I shop online for home decor. I get the thrill of waiting for, tracking and receiving a package, but it contains pieces I love because I picked them out. Win, win!
    I've found that I get 2-3 times the amount of items for about the same price as some subscription boxes. And I get the added thrill of shopping sales, hunting for and using coupon codes.

  • @sunshinem.7741

    Even though the $200 recreation isn't an exact match, you still matched the spirit of each item and honestly it goes a long way to show you what you COULD be getting for that value. It says a lot that you can recreate the box for $90 with similarly sized but much better quality items or that you can opt to spend the supposed value of the items and also get higher quality items but also more substantial items. Any way you slice it, decocrated is not worth the price tag.
    Good job!! And happy spooky season! 🖤🍂

    Please dont keep apologizing for your choices. All goes to show you that sometimes it pays to do your own thing as it were.
    Granted, the creators couldn't put the large items into a box, but with everything available out there, they certainly could have upgraded the smaller items.
    Also, on the rare occasions that I've done a subscription box, it was more the surprise of what I got rather than anything else. You done good girl.
