I was in Fredericksburg, TX this week (land of cute little shops) and at an antique shop that I went into, I saw these. I quickly snapped a phone picture.
Surprise bags. Cannot open.
I’ve got to know – would you buy this? What would you expect to be inside? Would you feel it and shake it first?
I would not buy one, did you? The packaging and prospect doesn’t look all that exciting!

Ha! No way. But, I wonder if people do! They must – right?
I would so buy one just for the sake of easing my curiosity! It’s from an antique store so you never know what could be inside! But that’s just me.
I was just thinking how as a little girl, I loved surprise bags! I cannot believe I didn’t even shake them or feel of them. Must have been because the hubby was with me and he was in a hurry.
No, but I think you should and show us what we missed!
I know I wouldn’t buy it, but I also know I would think about it all week. I think if my kids were with me, I might buy them a bag–I make boring, grown-up decisions when I’m by myself. ——Hahaha, wouldn’t it be awesome if I opened an Etsy shop for surprise bags? I’ll just declutter my home with that shop. Thanks for the idea.
That may be the best idea ever.
I totally remember buying these when I was a kid and LOVED them. But it can be hard to splurge even $5 on a surprise ~ especially when I can find furniture for that price!
I wouldn’t be able to control my curiosity and would totally buy one…and I don’t even like surprises. I think I sound crazy, but it’s true. It’d be a different story had the price been any higher. Now I really want to know what is in them. Fredericksburg is cute…and not that far away.
Probably not, but did you???
Haha, nope. But, I would have as a kid for sure.
No, I wouldn’t buy one….they don’t have that you need me look!
Well I can’t tell what kind of store you are in…but if I liked the store’s items, yeah, I would pay 5 bucks for one just out of curiosity. Heck I spend that much on a drink at Starbucks lol
There was a client that had a business selling mystery boxes like this on eBay. I wondered why in the world people would buy them!
Whatever is in there, it’s hidden for a reason!! LOL The type of store would make a huge difference. Maybe we should all pitch in a buy a few just to see what’s in there.
Too funny. It was at an antique mall. Your average antique mall…
On principle I will not buy things like this. Maybe some sellers give really great stuff, but mostly it’s to get rid of stuff nobody wants at any price.
I would buy 4 or 5!!!!
the bag design isn’t as appealing which makes me wonder if the prize will be tacky. I do love surprises though I use to go to this Gothic shop and they had surprise bags for a£1! So I would go for it (usually the prizes are cheaper than a £1.)
