Today we unbox 3 Decocrated home decor boxes. This subscription costs between $80-$90 but some of the items inside look like they could be picked up at your local dollar store. Are these subscriptions worth it?! What do you guys think? Let me know! Love ya💖
I'm only one box in but I definitely agree these all feel like decorations I could mostly find at the dollar store, and if not there then the homegoods store. Honestly the dollar store might have some better quality depending on the dollar store you go to.
Yes, the winter box was better but a big nope on their value. I would never subscribe to this company. But you were happy with a few of the items and that's all that matters. Love your channel and vibe.
The dollar store has definitely gotten better with decorations. Especially holiday themed ones i just went and got some easter decorations and they had so many cute ones
I feel like that little $1-$5 section in the front of Target has literally everything in the spring box, except maybe the bird cage thing which might be in the home decor clearance section with all the "beach seaside" candles that actually smell like "old lady next to you on a flight to Florida who keeps asking if you know her grandkids cause they're also into computers" ... PS I have a little bird set exactly like that but mine are painted white & solid wood, got them for $2 each like 6 years ago at Target. I have a lot of birds in my decor though & they look nice on my bookshelf.
Ok, so these boxes kinda feel like somebody went to Hobby Lobby and hit the clearance racks with an additional 30% off coupon and is trying to say the "value" is the regular inflated sticker price. You know, the price that they put on something that nobody would EVER pay, just to slap a sale sticker on top to make you feel like you're getting a good deal? That's definitely the vibe I get😬
lol SO accurate--this makes me think of every time I go into Joann's and aaaaall the seasonal stuff is "50% off", but you look at the retail price beforehand and it's so laughable... no one was ever going to pay $60 for that funky centerpiece made of papier-mache. These boxes are basically a scam :P
Anyone else kept seeing that little bee and thought wow the brand is perfect for unboxing with Alexandria's style of unboxing! Realising far too late that it has been added to cover her address! Just me?...😂
She kept me guessing with that one lol. Then I thought it was on the box itself :-D And did you catch the cute little squirrelly on the winter box??? A-DOR-able!!
Not really feeling that "spring" box ? It doesn't feel like a huge value..but the winter one was so cute!!! Side note: I love when you 'Home Goods' compare the boxes. It's such a fun unique idea
My sons heard you say “drape your balls” and they started laughing hysterically. Lol. The cage is cute. The rest can easily be bought at any Dollar Tree. If all the boxes are like that it’s definitely not worth the spend.
I can say dollar tree has really stepped their game up with the decorations. The holiday themed decorations they have are so cute and good quality for 1-1.25. I just went and got a few easter decorations to put on my door and i couldn't pick there was so many cute ones. They have these gnome heads made out of tinsel that are adorable. I got a huge welcome sign with gnomes on it in different easter colors and a door hanger with bells on it that were easter themed.
Yeah Yeah Yeah do the Home Goods thing. Sounds like so much fun. The bird box was def a bust! You can use the countdown board this year when you do your advent calendars while your enjoying all the goodies you received from the awesome winter box. You saved the best for last! Great Video sweetie!!!!
These boxes seem like something Montana women would order in the 80's because the nearest Wal-Mart was 200 miles away and there was no internet shopping.
As someone who has done a LOT of Dollar Tree DIYs and researched even more for my channel - that vase 100% looks like a Dollar Tree DIY. This box does not seem worth the price. But loved watching you unbox it!
YES! Got the job offer I wanted AND an Alexandria video all in the same day?! SUPOER STOKED! And this is why I don't buy these kinds of boxes! I have seen to many bad ones, or things that just look like I could recreate for pennies
I used to love impulse shopping and subscription boxes before I got tired of having a house full of stuff I didn't really want. So it's really fun watching these videos where I really get what I liked about subscription boxes, the surprise. But this also confirms why it was right to stop buying stuff like this.
I think it would be fun to see you go to tj maxx and create a “box” of things you would actually put in your home. Make it so that it is similar to what you think the value of items that were in the box so it’s equal but you actually get things you like!
I do often think it's a good thing you have a store. I know it's an antique store, but you should have a small little "extras" area to sell the shenanigans you get from subscription boxes.
you should definitely go to the dollar store and spend like $50 or like $30 and you’ll get the same exact quality of items and similar items! i see stuff like that all the time for the first box at least!:) you’d get so much more!!!! that’d be a fun video to watch as well
The spring box feels like they just raided grandma's dining room curio full of dollar store finds and just threw into the box whatever they didn't think grandma would miss 😏
I've been DIYing my 20th wedding anniversary vow renewal decorations and got a lot from Dollar Tree and Christmas Tree Shops and the craft stores. A lot of that Spring box could absolutely be recreated by going to Christmas Tree Shops and Dollar Tree for way less than $70.
$1.25 craft projects is a great way to describe the spring box. I do love the cute lil birds tho!! 🐦 💖 The winter box was good, love the creatures and their woodland picture!
The target $5 spot had the cutest little window wooden ties like that that were playing White plain wood balls and then also ones that had plain white and clean egg it was so cute
The winter box definitely seems better quality than the spring one! Just comparing the plant decor, the wreath looks so much better than the leaves in the spring box!
My dad's a beekeeper so thank you for the clarification 😂 As an aside his bees are extremely cute but also I am Allergic so I have to admire from far away
I just grabbed a few strands of the beads at dollar general for $3 each, but they were solid white, natural and dark blue/light blue/white mix! The grabbed a 2 pack of little bunnies about the size of those birds at the target dollar spot for $3 and a bunny riser for $5… I think you could’ve found better items for your money at those two places. Dollar General & Dollar Tree are definitely stepping it up a bit!! I am loving the “DT Plus” that they have added to most dollar trees, they have had a lot of super cute items and large front porch signs for $3 & $5!! I redecorated my front porch with a lot of items from DG & DT and my mom did not believe I bought the items at those stores! The downside is that they are still are the “farmhouse” decor kick, but a little bit of paint can change up some items to make them a perfect fit.. The spring box most definitely was not worth the price! I could’ve grabbed all of that out of my decor stash and mailed it to you for free!! The winter box was a lot better! The value was still a little off, but not as much as the spring box! I love your channel and you are just so adorable!! I like watching the unboxing to see if I want to get a subscription or not.. so you are saving me a lot of money:)… so thank you!!!
Have you checked out Third and Main, it's also a home decor subscription. They have two styles to choose from, contemporary and modern farmhouse, it might work better with your style. Just a suggestion, I hate that you're spending your money for something that you can't use. I love your channel so I'll watch whatever subscriptions you unbox.
It always makes me so happy when you get a squirrel in a box and you love the squirrel. 🐿️🐿️🐿️ That spring box was a major stinker. I think I would have been an even bigger letdown if you had opened them in order because the winter one was so cute. I would love to see you do your recreation of the box again! That was fun and you did such a good job.
Between the squirrel covered addresses, there may be an address visible at 14:56. Maybe too blurry and that's why it's not squirreled, but just in case 👍
You could always use the items in the spring box to decorate the front window of your store for spring/ Easter. I remember hearing you say in one video you try to decorate for the seasons .
There are a few times when your bee 🐝 and squirrel 🐿 stickers go away and you can see your address. It’s a little blurry but I’m sure someone might be able to see it I just wanted to let you know!! I’m not going to put time stamps though so people don’t go straight to it before you have a chance to fix it!
You’re lucky your Santa was in one piece. I saw some others where his hat was broken. The woodland animals are cute but they must have ordered more from a diff manufacturer as many of our critters are made of an even lighter wood so the white paint doesn’t stand out as much. I did like some of the spring box. My table runner definitely looked more checkered than as they described as pin striped. I liked the blue birds and the cage. But too expensive for me.
Seriously, cult classic! At first when she said it was terrible I was like *le gasp!* ...but then she mentioned Nic Cage and was like Oohhhhh that's why...
The Winter box was the only 1 that looked like it came with $200 worth of home decor. Love the partial wreath which easily can cost $50 or more on it's own because pre-made wreaths are outrageously priced. The wood animals and the framed white pine trees were also great. Thanks for testing these subscription boxes for us and please make a Spring Home Goods recreation video with maybe a splash of Dollar Tree or Dollar General because I feel you can find some of this stuff there for sure. You can get better looking, higher quality fake lambs ears at Michael's or Hobby Lobby than that gross mess they sent you.
You could stick the little ceramic birbs into your fake plant pots or, and both my MIL and I do this, stick them in a window sill, sticky tacked in place if need be 🥰
The winter box was So stinking cute!! I'm so picky about what I get so I just can't get myself to get any of these but I love watching others get them! I agree I wish the pillow was more of the green of the box.
I love the Home Goods comparison videos!. Please film one :) I agree that the first box isn't even worth $80, much less $200. One of my most favorite exclamations ..."dag nabbit!". Loved the winter box.
I definitely agree with you about the majority of the items in the Spring box are items you could find at the Dollar Tree or at Dollar General store. The other 2 boxes were much better!
Today we unbox 3 Decocrated home decor boxes. This subscription costs between $80-$90 but some of the items inside look like they could be picked up at your local dollar store. Are these subscriptions worth it?! What do you guys think? Let me know! Love ya💖
You could easily replicate this collection of items for 50-70 bucks at TJMaxx or HomeGoods lol. Not a higher value at all!
Love when you recreate the box for same price or less at TJMaxx or HomeGoods. I'm sure that could be accomplished with that spring box
It's a no for me lol definitely recreate
I want a Dollar Store challenge to recreate these boxes!
Nope not even close. Unless you like spending a lot of money on cheap stuff you won’t use, I’d cancel the Decocrated.
I'm only one box in but I definitely agree these all feel like decorations I could mostly find at the dollar store, and if not there then the homegoods store. Honestly the dollar store might have some better quality depending on the dollar store you go to.
I have received a couple things I really like from this box but something about the spring box especially felt a little on the inexpensive side!
Yes, the winter box was better but a big nope on their value. I would never subscribe to this company. But you were happy with a few of the items and that's all that matters. Love your channel and vibe.

I agree! I mean being generous, it would cost $20 to make the box at michaels…

Art Teacher necklace!! Lol!!! Totally!!!!
Things to hang in the toilet closet-
Towels, potpourri, the cage they randomly gave you
or even the beads they gave you
Use the beads to tie the towels back. Lol
Drape your balls in the toilet closet 😂
You could spray paint the birds black or white. Cuz they’re pretty cute.
Anyone else kept seeing that little bee and thought wow the brand is perfect for unboxing with Alexandria's style of unboxing! Realising far too late that it has been added to cover her address! Just me?...😂
Haha!
She kept me guessing with that one lol. Then I thought it was on the box itself :-D And did you catch the cute little squirrelly on the winter box??? A-DOR-able!!
i didn’t see it until she saw the bee in the catalogue and mentioned she’s been into them 😂
@@Alexandria-Ryan Just wanted to let you know there’s a couple of seconds where you forgot to add the bee, in case you want to edit it.
🤣😂
Not really feeling that "spring" box ? It doesn't feel like a huge value..but the winter one was so cute!!!
Side note: I love when you 'Home Goods' compare the boxes. It's such a fun unique idea
My sons heard you say “drape your balls” and they started laughing hysterically. Lol. The cage is cute. The rest can easily be bought at any Dollar Tree. If all the boxes are like that it’s definitely not worth the spend.
I just love the don't-doxx-yourself bee graphic 😍🐝
And then the squirrel! 🐿️
If Alexandria ever curates or collabs for a home goods crate, we'd be sure of quality, value and style variety!
I would buy that. I am so glad she shows us what not to buy even if that isn't the intent.
And it would be packaged amazingly!!! 😊
And it would be packaged amazingly!!! 😊
I can say dollar tree has really stepped their game up with the decorations. The holiday themed decorations they have are so cute and good quality for 1-1.25. I just went and got a few easter decorations to put on my door and i couldn't pick there was so many cute ones. They have these gnome heads made out of tinsel that are adorable.

Great Video sweetie!!!!
Alexandria’s relationship with all subscription boxes is becoming like Simmers with EA. 😩
Thank you for being honest and saving people the struggle!
Would love to see another Dollar Tree/Home Goods recreation. I really liked the winter box but agree that the spring box looked cheap.
Thank you for your honest opinion! I hate watching videos where the host always loves everything in every box.
You should paint the birds black!!
I love your "Can I find it at Homegoods" video idea! Would love to see you dupe the spring box!
Hello Alexandria and everyone watching I hope that you have an amazing and blessed weekend 💝
Aww thank you! I hope you do too!
Hi April I hope you have a magnificent weekend to.
Please make the home goods video. 100% my favorite Alexandria videos is you making your own subscription boxes for less. I’m definitely here for it
For some reason the sentence “so here we have a cute little cake stand with a cage on it.” Made me laugh so hard haha.
These boxes seem like something Montana women would order in the 80's because the nearest Wal-Mart was 200 miles away and there was no internet shopping.
I love specific and accurate this is!
OMG YOU KILL ME WITH THE WINTER DECOR 😂😂😂 I DO THE EXACT SAME THING 😂😂😂
“Machine was cold” 😂🤣🤣 interesting description on a tag 🏷🤣🤣🤣. I love all your videos, thank you for sharing
Not to mention the outside of the box and pamphlet say "Spring 2021". Instead of 2022. Too big of an oopsie there.
Another fun video! I really liked the Christmas one best. My favorite items were the little bumble bee 🐝 and squirrel 🐿 on your box.
Definitely a Hobby Lobby or 5 Below box. I could definitely do that first box for $20
As someone who has done a LOT of Dollar Tree DIYs and researched even more for my channel - that vase 100% looks like a Dollar Tree DIY. This box does not seem worth the price. But loved watching you unbox it!

I vote yes for the home goods/ tjmaxx haul of these boxes

So it's really fun watching these videos where I really get what I liked about subscription boxes, the surprise. But this also confirms why it was right to stop buying stuff like this.
I'm a bird decor collector and I was TRYING to like those ceramic birds lol 😂
I think it would be fun to see you go to tj maxx and create a “box” of things you would actually put in your home. Make it so that it is similar to what you think the value of items that were in the box so it’s equal but you actually get things you like!
As someone that frequents the dollar store, yes thay spring box was fashow DIY!
And yes please do a video where you re-create the boxes!
I do often think it's a good thing you have a store. I know it's an antique store, but you should have a small little "extras" area to sell the shenanigans you get from subscription boxes.

$1.25 craft projects is a great way to describe the spring box. I do love the cute lil birds tho!! 🐦
💖
The winter box was good, love the creatures and their woodland picture!
Looks like you’re due for another trip to the Dollar Tree to recreate this box! 😁
Yes, do a Home Goods recreation!!
Oh yes Alexandria, please please please go recreate these items it would be sooo entertaining!🤣🤣🤣
I feel like forest critters and the trees could be cute decor for year round. I really like those!
Please do a TJ Maxx/Homegoods recreation!! Those are my favorite 😍
The target $5 spot had the cutest little window wooden ties like that that were playing White plain wood balls and then also ones that had plain white and clean egg it was so cute
Yes the spring box was like blaaa are ya ready for the snow!! We post to get 2/3 inches! And wind and like 15 at night in NGA!
The winter box definitely seems better quality than the spring one! Just comparing the plant decor, the wreath looks so much better than the leaves in the spring box!
My dad's a beekeeper so thank you for the clarification 😂
As an aside his bees are extremely cute but also I am Allergic so I have to admire from far away
I absolutely love squirrels!!! Fun fact there is a national squirrel appreciation day. It is on January 21. Hope everyone have a fantastic day. 😊

That first box looks like $30 worth of stuff and that's being generous. I would be mad if I paid $80/$90 for that!
I love watching you recreate things so, yes, please!
Yes please do a home goods comparison!! Oh, What fun you could have!!
Total dollar tree vibes with the spring box.
The winter box is cute with the woodland creature 🐿🦊🐻❄️ so cute
Thank you so much and I would love to see a Home Goods replicate shopping trip!
Definitely Dollar Store vibes!! Which is fine if you're paying Dollar Store prices.
Have you checked out Third and Main, it's also a home decor subscription. They have two styles to choose from, contemporary and modern farmhouse, it might work better with your style. Just a suggestion, I hate that you're spending your money for something that you can't use. I love your channel so I'll watch whatever subscriptions you unbox.
Omg lol I was totally thinking it looked like it was from the dollar tree too! And lmfao machine was cold! I can't! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love the winter box!!! The spring box seems a little cheap and like it came from dollar general as well
The audacityyyy. Definitely dollar store quality. It would look decent in a Grandma’s home
It always makes me so happy when you get a squirrel in a box and you love the squirrel. 🐿️🐿️🐿️ That spring box was a major stinker. I think I would have been an even bigger letdown if you had opened them in order because the winter one was so cute.

Squirreled 😂 Thanks for the heads up!
You could always use the items in the spring box to decorate the front window of your store for spring/ Easter. I remember hearing you say in one video you try to decorate for the seasons .
The title should say the anti-sponsored Decocrated sub box lol. You have definitely convinced me that doing this on my own is the way to go
Love these videos - it would be great to show a shot of everything laid out together at the end to get an image of total value!
There are a few times when your bee 🐝 and squirrel 🐿 stickers go away and you can see your address. It’s a little blurry but I’m sure someone might be able to see it I just wanted to let you know!! I’m not going to put time stamps though so people don’t go straight to it before you have a chance to fix it!
The spring box felt like the Dollar tree or the section at the front of Target for cheap decorations. The winter box was great.
Yes, the Dollar Spot at Target!
Like winter so much more!!! Thank you!!!
You’re lucky your Santa was in one piece. I saw some others where his hat was broken. The woodland animals are cute but they must have ordered more from a diff manufacturer as many of our critters are made of an even lighter wood so the white paint doesn’t stand out as much. I did like some of the spring box. My table runner definitely looked more checkered than as they described as pin striped. I liked the blue birds and the cage. But too expensive for me.
OMG the bee covering ur address. I love it
The little pop up squirrel in the video is so cute! 🐿
She is a squirrel 🐿 so fast and random 🤗
I love your honesty and the rope is generally called rafe. So right about the appearance on cheapness!
I’m curious about the decor steals box, you should review it. Wish there were more decor boxes based on home styles and design preferences.
The cage thing would be easy. Go to Target and check out the Hearth and Hand section. But one of their cake stands and wire basket. Bam! Birdcage.
Yes on the recreation videos!! I’d love to see another one!! These boxes really inflate prices
I loved when you shopped at around to recreate these boxes!
That first box could be recreated at Dollarama for sure, where nothing is more that $4 CAD
Love when you recreate from Home Goods!
Yes! Do the recreations! It gives me so many inspo ideas!
yes please home goods shopping trip!
Yay watching your videos always makes my day better.
Aww that makes me happy to hear!
Ya the winter box was definitely the best of the 3. The first one was most definitely dollar store quality.
A lot of my home decor came from Dollar General/Dollar Tree. When I moved out it really helped make my apartment more homey ^-^
Yes to the shop it yourself comparison video!
Loved your pet bee 🐝! Doing a good job hiding your address!! Ha!! Absolutely love your videos!!
The original Wicker Man is phenomenal and if anyone hasn't seen it, you should! This is the 5th movie rec I've given today 🤣
I haven't seen that one! I will have to give it a watch!
The one with Christopher Lee? I love that movie.
Yes!!!! The remake sucks real hard, but the original one is SO DAMNED GOOD!!!!
I was JUST about to make the same recommendation, especially because Alexandria loves Scotland and it was filmed on one of the islands there
Seriously, cult classic! At first when she said it was terrible I was like *le gasp!* ...but then she mentioned Nic Cage and was like Oohhhhh that's why...
The Winter box was the only 1 that looked like it came with $200 worth of home decor. Love the partial wreath which easily can cost $50 or more on it's own because pre-made wreaths are outrageously priced. The wood animals and the framed white pine trees were also great. Thanks for testing these subscription boxes for us and please make a Spring Home Goods recreation video with maybe a splash of Dollar Tree or Dollar General because I feel you can find some of this stuff there for sure. You can get better looking, higher quality fake lambs ears at Michael's or Hobby Lobby than that gross mess they sent you.
You could stick the little ceramic birbs into your fake plant pots or, and both my MIL and I do this, stick them in a window sill, sticky tacked in place if need be 🥰
The winter box definitely has a Scandinavian feel to it. The others are a lot more hit & miss.
The winter box was So stinking cute!! I'm so picky about what I get so I just can't get myself to get any of these but I love watching others get them! I agree I wish the pillow was more of the green of the box.
Squirrels are my favorite too!
I definitely think you should do a home goods dupe box AND a Dollar (& 25cent) tree dupe box as well!
the blue birds 🐦 would look really cute in the bathroom with the same color decor
After watching several of these recently I can say that I was surprised at how much nicer the Christmas and winter boxes were!
Yes, please recreate this box at Home Goods or even Dollar Tree.
I love the Home Goods comparison videos!. Please film one :) I agree that the first box isn't even worth $80, much less $200. One of my most favorite exclamations ..."dag nabbit!". Loved the winter box.
The only box I didn't like was the Spring box. I'd be interested in what the summer box looks like!! 😍
I definitely agree with you about the majority of the items in the Spring box are items you could find at the Dollar Tree or at Dollar General store. The other 2 boxes were much better!
The magnetic Christmas tree with the numbers you can use for your advent calendar count down.
