A friend once told me about a website called Catch Of The Day, where they sell one product a day until sold out. Plain and simple. I guess its over-stocked items or old products. Whatever it is, the price is usually really good. They sell anything from clothing to electonic goods and other household items. Once in a while though they will do a “mystery box”. One such mystery box came up again last week. It was a “Mega Baby Box“; 10 random items, some of which are big brand names. I got it because I know two people that have just had babies and I hoped there would be something in the box that is nice. The site says its worth between $60 and $80, and all it costs is $19.95 (plus shipping). I was expecting the goods to be nicely boxed or wrapped (I don’t know why I thought that).

I picked it up from the post office and when I saw the box I thought wow, its huge!! The box was literally quite large. Of course when I lifted it I realised it was half empty. I can’t say I was disappointed but when I opened the box I noticed there was no bubble wrap or invoice or anything. Just the items thrown in and box poorly taped up. I don’t know anything about baby goods but the items look good and I’m sure the total would definitely retail for more than $19.95. So all in all not a bad score. Now I have to see what to give each person.
