A WOMAN has revealed exactly what is inside the £25 Home Bargains mystery box.
While Olivia, a savvy shopper from the UK, was impressed with some of her “cute” finds, she was immediately disappointed just seconds after opening the Home Bargains buy.
Posting on social media, the mother held up the large box and said: “I got the £25 Home Bargains mystery box to see if it is actually worth the £25, plus the £3 delivery.
“I haven’t seen anyone open one yet so I don’t know what’s in it, I don’t know what I could be getting, all I know is online it said it could be cleaning products, homeware, basically anything they sell.”
But instantly the mum recognised that whilst the box smelt delightful, there had been an unfortunate spillage, leaving the box wet.
She added: “Something’s leaked…that’s annoying…I’m already a little bit disappointed because something has clearly burst and leaked in here.”

Olivia recognised that a facial toner which “smelt nice” had leaked on “pretty much everything.”
As Olivia dug around the box, she firstly found festive dog chews, followed by some snacks which had got “toner all over the box.”
The bargain hunter then got her hands on two bags of M&M’s, vanilla fudge, Dettol multi-purpose wipes, a body scrub, under-eye patches, a Dubai chocolate cake bar, a pack of sweets and a Christmas tree lollipop.
Following this, she was impressed when she spotted a “cute” hot chocolate cracker selection which Olivia thought “could be good for little presents.”
She next found a child’s soft toy, which she recognised would be great for “Christmas Eve boxes.”
After this, Olivia spotted a mini melting snowman, some more sweets, a toy drum, body balm, shower foam, a candle, two sets of slipper socks and gingerbread men.
But that’s not all, as she then unboxed two lots of brightening face drops, a Santa chocolate lolly, gold coins and a plastic tea set.
Sharing her thoughts on the mystery box, the savvy mum explained: “Apart from [the toner] spilling over everything, for £25 I don’t think it’s too bad.”

Olivia claimed that the contents of the box was “pretty good.”
Following this, she continued: “There is quite a lot in there to be fair and a few of them I can use for little gifts to add to stockings and Christmas Eve boxes, and a couple of bits that I’ll use myself.

But at the same time, one person said: “Old stock that won’t sell.”
Another added: “Waste of money.”
A third commented: “Deffo not worth £25. I think I’d be sending that back. It’s all tat and then got ruined by the toner.”
