What We Found in an Amazon Mystery Box: My628 & More — April 18, 2026

Look, not every Amazon Mystery Box we open here in Hot Springs is going to make somebody scream. This one was more of a steady nod than a fist-pump — but steady can still be useful, and useful moves off our shelves.

Eight Boxes of 4th of July Crafts? Yes, Eight.

The standout here was pure quantity. We pulled eight sealed units of July 4th Celebrations - Star 135 Pieces — that's 135-piece star-themed craft sets, each retailing at $14.99, and we've got eight of them. If you're planning a party, a classroom activity, or just trying to keep kids occupied around Independence Day, that's a find worth stopping in for. Eight units at that price adds up fast if you're buying retail elsewhere.

We also pulled two HA SHI Cat Scratch Protectors — the double-sided furniture shield version with large coverage. Pet-safe, practical, and the kind of thing cat owners are always quietly hunting for before their couch pays the price. Small quantity, but real value for the right person.

Beyond those named pieces, there were plenty more bin-labeled items headed straight into our store bins — so if you're a regular digger, the bins got a fresh refresh from this one too.

Total estimated retail on this box clocked in around $443. For a box this size, that's not a barnburner, but it's honest value — especially with the holiday craft sets doing most of the heavy lifting. Sometimes a mystery box is more about the right items than the flashiest ones, and if you need Fourth of July supplies in Hot Springs, well, we just did the hunting for you.
