Very impressed by the MAC box! Seemed absolutely perfect for a grownup who is new to makeup or rarely wears it, but doesn’t want cheap kid stuff. I figured there would be more “weird” products lol! Prob not the best gift for someone with a big collection already (we all have mascara, black liner, & red lippy for days/years), but perfect for a grown adult who wants to occasionally decorate themself. I’m not a MAC girl, but they were one of the first companies to actively fundraise for AIDS research & were extremely respectful in their work. They are a favorite brand of makeup professionals, even when not “trendy” & all the products you got looked like really good ones. I thought the eyeshadow duo was fun but still very practical.
You are one of the most positive and sweet people of the whole UA-cam community ❤😊 Just seeing your enthusiasm making my day ❤😊 Love when you are tasting, or opening packages you are testing out 😊 Yes do more mystery boxes! There are so many of them, and some are great and some are not the best value, as you also discovered. Love from Johanne, Norway 🇳🇴
I was also a stationary kid and had one of the big foldover things for all my pens, like the typo one (only a bit more colourful!). Love the typo box - notebooks are so expensive, you definitely get your money's worth. I need the clam pen holder!
I love Cow Tales! They're a US sweet, I think. The outside looks "off" because it's a caramel taffy coated in cornstarch or maybe powdered sugar to prevent it from sticking to the packaging!
I have watched dozens of advent calendar unboxings. Im American but I’ve noticed that none of the US ones are worth buying, but luxury boxes from UK brands do seem to be fantastic! I am not really Christian anymore but advent calendars are so opposite of the intention for advent, I don’t do it, but I’m thinking about trying to get one after the holidays on mark down… there’s just something about British department stores that the US doesn’t “get.”
Sorry if this is random but we need a Grace’s favorites/best products video or series because I feel like I love and trust your opinion on all products/clothing items!
6:15 Whispering back: Lipsticks take forever to use up, don’t save it! And to make the red less intense, instead of swiping it in, tap the 💄 very lightly onto your lips for a sheer stain. 😊 a red lipstick can do wonders even if you never wear it “full strength”
Make a names you love but won’t be using video PLEASE it would be nice to hear Mr Grack’s name opinions as well. Do you guys have similar taste or has it been difficult?
❤❤❤ I don’t know why UA-cam unsubscribed me, but awwwww I’m back & Grackle is all grown up in the most wholesome way I’ve ever seen on UA-cam. Such a lovely family ❤
Typo is so good I have loads of their stuff- they used to send an extra free item with your order too. I have loads of their stationary, sausage dog slippers, laptop cases, blanket a huge shark pillow
Can I please say something about the date on shelf stable foods, that date is not a "gone off date" it is a sell by date or best by date. All that date means is either the retailer will remove it from the shelf at full price or return to the vendor for a refund if it's a sell by date. For best by dates that is a date from the manufacturer that is their guarantee that their product will be at its freshest if you consume by the printed date if you've stored it properly. The best by dates are usually 12-18 months or more before the actual date estimated by the company that their product can start to lose freshness. There is only one shelf stable item that has an actual "expiration date" which is baby formula. If you think about things logically let's consider if the dates were actually a "gone off date" or "expiration date" the day before that date how is it that the item could possibly be perfectly fine to eat up until 24:00 but 1 minute later when it reaches the date on the package suddenly it's going to poison you or immediately go bad, it's impossible & unfortunately these dates have lead to so much unnecessary food waste throughout the world when there are so many people struggling with food insecurity. This is also a play by the manufacturer, if they posted the more realistic best by date it may be another year or more before you buy more stuff from them. Store everything in a cool dry place & that food can actually stay fresh for half a decade.
Most of the ryman stuff is legami. I love Legami, everytime i go to italy i go crazy in the legami store. I have all the erasable pens too 😅 im 35 in 2 days 😅😅
I turned 35 at the end of July and still get very excited over stationary too. Tkmaxx stationary section is lethal for my bank balance! And I love when the back to school season hits the supermarkets, even without any children 😂 happy birthday for a couple days time ☺️🥳
Indian snack bags are so hard to open! It's basically impossible to open them at the top. I usually shake everything to one side then rip it down the other side.
I don't mean to dampen it but some of the typo things were recently on the sale section, I.e mug was £2, stress ball £1 or £2, the shell might have been £3. Just thinking if they put a lot of the sale items in the thirty pound one, it may be closer to the price than you think, similar to the stationary one too. Thank you for the video!!
Well to be fair to Typo You bought the stationary bundle which of course was going to be all stationary And then the staying in pack would also have contained stationary as that’s what Typo actually is A stationary store that sells other things But still a stationary store I’d say the stuff that wasn’t stationary was from the staying in pack
Hmmm the only thing with the mac make up. Doesn't most make up have like a 12 month expiry time? If they were selling it in December then it'll be coming up to its time. Maybe just check the dates on the bottom of the products.
before watching the video: it is a fun idea ngl, but they do scream wasteful to me. how many products will actually be used? food ones are only good if a group shares it imo. household/ beauty/ toy ones are so wasteful as theres now way you like 100% of whats in there and then it just promotes overconsumerism. price wise- i think it may be worth a lot more rrp wise, however is it actually worth what you pay when you think things are generally overpriced anyway and price per item may be good but if you dont use a few items the price per item of used products is then higher. sorry for the essay lmao. thoughts after: this was a fun video. maybe im too picky with food/stuff so they aren't for me, but for t hose that will try anything they seem fun. especially like the stationary ones!
When you're using a knife to slice open a box, slide the knife away from you, not toward you. I know, your parents already told you but we just saw you doing it again. Don't imagine that someone's parents aren't watching!
You put Stationary on screen caps - that means you stopped….😄 Stationery with an e means paper and stuff…. Can remember it cos it has the e in it like letter does…(only way I can remember)👍
I'm so glad you did the typo one. I've wanted to do a typo one for soooooo long. But been a bit scared it would be really bad value for money... Of to buy a typo one now! 🤫🩵🩵
that typo one definitely blew it out of the park! all the things were so cute!

Love these review videos as we always know that she doesn't hold back when it comes to her honest opinions 🥰🥰
Mystery boxes give Christmas morning vibes which explains why you enjoy them :)
the work you put in all your videos is honestly so astounding 🥺
You are one of the most positive and sweet people of the whole UA-cam community ❤😊 Just seeing your enthusiasm making my day ❤😊
Love when you are tasting, or opening packages you are testing out 😊
Yes do more mystery boxes! There are so many of them, and some are great and some are not the best value, as you also discovered.

Love cocoa is divine. Really pretty packaging to give as gifts.
This was almost too fun, Grace!!! Please do it again 😍🥳
obviously I haven't seen the video yet but I love you and your videos so much and I have for years! so excited for baby grackle :')
I was also a stationary kid and had one of the big foldover things for all my pens, like the typo one (only a bit more colourful!). Love the typo box - notebooks are so expensive, you definitely get your money's worth. I need the clam pen holder!
Grace is my comfort youtuber 😊
”Ichiban, for Men” 😆😆😆
I love Cow Tales! They're a US sweet, I think. The outside looks "off" because it's a caramel taffy coated in cornstarch or maybe powdered sugar to prevent it from sticking to the packaging!
That little gold planner is too cute to waste. Since it's for last year, I'd decoupage or paint over each page and make a mini art journal out of it.
Please try the Emma's Diary mum bags you can get them at boots and you can grab them all at once if you ask nicely xx
I think that the stationary could be so cute to use to make a baby scrapbook or journal ❤
Honestly love the friends reference, girl after my own heart 💖
Harrods Beauty Advent Calendar is out now. Costs £250 but apparently worth £1600. Wonder if actually worth
I have watched dozens of advent calendar unboxings. Im American but I’ve noticed that none of the US ones are worth buying, but luxury boxes from UK brands do seem to be fantastic! I am not really Christian anymore but advent calendars are so opposite of the intention for advent, I don’t do it, but I’m thinking about trying to get one after the holidays on mark down… there’s just something about British department stores that the US doesn’t “get.”
I wonder if Alexandria Ryan has unboxed it
its still august how is the advent calender already out
£1600 by harrods price tho. The same items will be worth a lot less elsewhere lol 😂
So much on offer in the UK a joy to watch as usual Grace Keep well
Sorry if this is random but we need a Grace’s favorites/best products video or series because I feel like I love and trust your opinion on all products/clothing items!
That backpack would make the best nappy bag!!! I hated traditional nappy bags and loved a great backpack. So much easier to lug around.
RIP Paperchase; gone but not forgotten.
In Australia typo has mystery bags in store

Cow tails are classic American candy.
Grace your cardi is absolutely adorable! It looks handmade but if not, could you link to it? ❤
Really good mystery boxes 👍🥰
aww I was looking forward to seeing you try the seaweed animal biscuits as they were my favourite when I was a kid :) (from Hong Kong)
I honestly thought the Ryman box was going to contain a 2023 diary! This is my favourite.
❤❤❤ I don’t know why UA-cam unsubscribed me, but awwwww I’m back & Grackle is all grown up in the most wholesome way I’ve ever seen on UA-cam. Such a lovely family ❤
The subtle friends reference 🫶🏻
Do a tkmaxx food taste test
Typo is so good I have loads of their stuff- they used to send an extra free item with your order too. I have loads of their stationary, sausage dog slippers, laptop cases, blanket a huge shark pillow
Grace is such a beauty guru now
typo is one of my favourite shops, quality for price is unmatched
Just ordered the chocolate one and got an extra 10% off as a new customer. Can’t wait to receive it now! 😆
WAIT I've never head of this before - who does mystery boxes? Is there a list somewhere?
Can I please say something about the date on shelf stable foods, that date is not a "gone off date" it is a sell by date or best by date.

Could you try the clothes subscription things like lookiero and stitch fix?
FYI you can eat choc after that best before date. It's just best before then, it's not a use by date 😊
I got a typo water bottle when In uni and still use it nearly 4 years later it’s such good quality and i love it!!
To be honest Grace I think the sweets one was the biggest rip off. The black water bottle was so lovely ❤
Most of the ryman stuff is legami. I love Legami, everytime i go to italy i go crazy in the legami store. I have all the erasable pens too 😅 im 35 in 2 days 😅😅
I turned 35 at the end of July and still get very excited over stationary too. Tkmaxx stationary section is lethal for my bank balance! And I love when the back to school season hits the supermarkets, even without any children 😂 happy birthday for a couple days time ☺️🥳
the typo one is so good! i bought the bottle about 6mths ago for about £10
Ooo I’d be intrigued to see you try Slovakian snacks 😍🇸🇰
Chocolate smiths mystery box!!
24:57 one PEN and a plastic water bottle are not “worth” £15 lmao we need to be serious
Indian snack bags are so hard to open! It's basically impossible to open them at the top. I usually shake everything to one side then rip it down the other side.
10:10 hahaha currently eating these ! I grew up with a similar thing with a picture or a kangaroo on it and this is the closest thing to it T-T
Thank you much love xx
I don't mean to dampen it but some of the typo things were recently on the sale section, I.e mug was £2, stress ball £1 or £2, the shell might have been £3. Just thinking if they put a lot of the sale items in the thirty pound one, it may be closer to the price than you think, similar to the stationary one too. Thank you for the video!!
Well! I just learned about washi tape, thank you! Had never heard of it before so had to look it up ☺️
I'm a stationery nerd - that's why I'm an English teacher! 🤣
Oh my god those magic masala chips are amazing
18:30 £15 for pick n mix is WILD. that’s £3 max.
Runs does not walk to order a typo mystery box!
I have so many questions about the "cow tail". It looked like some kind of peperami. But apple flavour?! I think I need the mind bleach
😂😂😂😂 it's a classic American caramel creme candy. No meat included.
You were reminding me of Jack skellington! Lol
“what is this what is this?”
Are those some dungarees you are wearing? (Was my dream pregnancy outfit)
Hi Grack, almost all Asian crisps open longways. 😊
Well to be fair to Typo
You bought the stationary bundle which of course was going to be all stationary
And then the staying in pack would also have contained stationary as that’s what Typo actually is
A stationary store that sells other things
But still a stationary store
I’d say the stuff that wasn’t stationary was from the staying in pack
Usually, the actual values are higher than stated not lower... 🥴
Hey Grace, walkers do a crinkle cut crisps it’s called the baked range. They do the usual flavours we have in the UK just so you know 😊 x
Omg you can get refils for those erasable pens?!?! I have 3 of them! I'm a 40something year old stationery kid 😂❤
😊
That last black bag would be a great “Dad” diaper bag….👍🏼👨🍼
Hmmm the only thing with the mac make up. Doesn't most make up have like a 12 month expiry time? If they were selling it in December then it'll be coming up to its time. Maybe just check the dates on the bottom of the products.
I’m pretty sure it once it’s open (exposed to the air)
@toniteeny1234 oh right. I'm not a big makeup girly so I didn't know it was from once it was open. The more you know 😊
Great video.
Do QVC items
Do compare Japanese snack boxes?
Peep the blanket in the background with the name “Zara” on it. Future baby name??👀👀 or is it just the store name? Lol
She's having a boy 💙
@@x0xkatie1989x0x oh😂😂😂 I had no idea!!
My issue with the typo boxes is that most of it is sale stock.
need to check out typo now
❤
before watching the video: it is a fun idea ngl, but they do scream wasteful to me. how many products will actually be used? food ones are only good if a group shares it imo. household/ beauty/ toy ones are so wasteful as theres now way you like 100% of whats in there and then it just promotes overconsumerism. price wise- i think it may be worth a lot more rrp wise, however is it actually worth what you pay when you think things are generally overpriced anyway and price per item may be good but if you dont use a few items the price per item of used products is then higher. sorry for the essay lmao.
thoughts after: this was a fun video. maybe im too picky with food/stuff so they aren't for me, but for t hose that will try anything they seem fun. especially like the stationary ones!
Ichiban for men 😅
You know you made it big time when the advert interrupts immediately upon start of a video.
How many of us are now running off to typo lol
Hi Grace! Love your vids! you use the word ‘flipping’ so much! 😅
Lays is walkers international name ❤️
Lays came first, they are the company that owns Walkers. It's only Walkers in the UK, everywhere else it's Lays.
:)
I live apartment if I odder shit load it take up the hallway
Second!
When you're using a knife to slice open a box, slide the knife away from you, not toward you. I know, your parents already told you but we just saw you doing it again. Don't imagine that someone's parents aren't watching!
slightly patronising
@natashaferran very patronising and pointless!
Maaybe you mean well but omg, she can't move or eat in a video without a hundred virtual doctors being NU-UHN!!!!💣💥💥
It’s literally a butter knife not a carving knife!!
She's managed 26 years without slicing herself into pieces. I don't think she needs your help....
You put Stationary on screen caps - that means you stopped….😄
Stationery with an e means paper and stuff…. Can remember it cos it has the e in it like letter does…(only way I can remember)👍
Pens and envelopes are stationery, a parked car is stationary is how I remember it!
how did she age so quickly wtf
I'm so glad you did the typo one. I've wanted to do a typo one for soooooo long. But been a bit scared it would be really bad value for money... Of to buy a typo one now! 🤫🩵🩵
