What We Found in an Amazon Mystery Box: Guided The Five Minute & More — May 14, 2026

Look, not every Amazon Mystery Box is going to make us do a victory lap around the store. This one was modest. Humble, even. Nine total items, a retail value just shy of $61 — more of a slow Tuesday than a showstopper. But sometimes a box surprises you in a different way.

The One That Actually Made Us Smile

The standout here was the Guided Five Minute Journal Linen by Intelligent Change — a legit, well-known daily journal that retails for just under $21. If you've never seen one, it's a structured gratitude and intention journal with a clean linen cover. The kind of thing you'd actually give as a gift. We were pretty happy to pull that out of a box headed to Hot Springs.

The rest of the haul? Eight bin-labeled pieces heading straight into our store bins — no drama, no big reveal, just solid everyday inventory that'll find good homes at great prices.

That's kind of the deal with Amazon Mystery Boxes, honestly. Not every one is packed to the lid with triple-digit finds. Some boxes are the journaling-and-move-on type. And that's fine. There's still value in there, and someone's going to walk into our store and pick up that journal for a fraction of retail — which is exactly the point.

We'll keep opening boxes. You keep stopping in.
