I’m a huge fan of the unboxing craze that’s all over the Internet right now. I love watching unboxing videos where the person’s excitement radiates through the camera as you watch them open the package and take out all the paper and packaging materials to reveal the thing inside.
I suppose this is why theme box subscriptions like Loot Crate are so popular right now. We all enjoy that awesome moment of receiving a package in the mail and opening it. It’s like Christmas all over again.
These trends quickly evolved to the next craze: mystery boxes. Go on YouTube and search ‘Mystery Box,’ and you’ll find a bunch of videos. People are buying up $1, $50, and $100 mystery boxes and posting videos of themselves opening them. Some of them are gems, while others…not so much. Oh, and a few are hoaxes, so keep your eye out for pranksters.
Since I’m not the gambling type (though I do understand how fun the element of surprise is!), I decided to create my own version of this!
My Mystery Box
Five things in my dream box
1. Something from the set of Amazon’s the Man in the High Castle (yeah. This is a shocker. I mean it’s not like I ever mention the show, ha ha!).
Juliana’s necklace, Tagomi’s pin, something from the Smith house, one of Kido’s hats, a film reel—anything!
2. An antique from the 40s
A relic from WWII, an old typewriter, a stapler (check this beauty out!)—Anything!
3. Cash
You can’t go wrong with some good old fashion cash
4. A replica of one of Helen Smith’s dresses
I want her entire wardrobe
5. Art supplies
These days I’ve been flying through sketchbooks like crazy!
