Top 5 things you need to know about the Crow Mystery Scoops
number 5 will blow your mind.
In a world full of needless consumerism leading to both the rising prices of the most basic goods, and the amount of waste in landfills, it's time to create from what we already have in the world. Reuse, Reduce, Recycle.
Whether it's a crafty DIY home decor, an outlet for creativity for mental health & creative nourishment, or just a love of collecting trinkets, the Crow Mystery Scoops can help!
Top 5 things you need to know about the Crow Mystery Scoops
1. Every Single Item is Sanitized by Hand
As someone who is immune compromised, it's VERY important to me that everything I thrift is as clean as possible before I pass it along to you. Every single bead and trinket that enters the Crow Mystery Scoop bin is sanitized with meticulous care and love. No more having to worry about cleaning your harvest, I've done it for you!
2. All Items are Either Recycled, Thrifted or Repurposed
Remember when I mentioned over-flowing landfills? One of the reasons I created the Crow Mystery Scoops was to showcase in the beauty in usually left behind items and highlight how many materials already exist in the world. You can still trinket collect sustainably; no need to forfeit your dopamine mystery box fix! We love to keep trinkets out of the landfill!
3. Based Off Real Life Experience With Crows
Did you know that Crows remember the faces of people who help them and can even bring you gifts? The Crow Mystery Scoops are based off my real life experience befriending Crows (more about that here), mixed with my love of DIY and thrifting.
My favorite group of 200+ befriended crows loved to bring me all kinds of silly things from crushed up batteries to shiny foil tops of a chip can. They see the beauty in things we consider trash and in many ways, I feel the same. Where people see just junk, I see treasure or a new opportunity to create something cool!
Which leads me to my next fact...
4. 90% of the Keychains are Handmade
I love to make keychains out of thrifted toys or even repair vintage keychains that have seen better days. This is all part of my sustainability mindset of reduce, re-use, recycle! But don't worry, I always leave some toys to be scooped without a key-ring for your trinket collecting pleasure.
5. The BIG Secret : Great Small Treasures Settle at the Bottom of the Bin
You were waiting for the secrets, weren't you? Well, here it is...
Don't wait to order a scoop, take a chance to see what you might get at any phase of the bins volume. Even though I always give a good mix between scoops, I am not an antigravity super hero! Smaller heavier trinkets love to make their way to the bottom regardless of a good mix. Sometimes waiting for the Crow Mystery Scoop restock means missing out on some of the great smaller treasures that settle at the bottom of the bin. You'll be surprised what you find.
6. BONUS : Hack to get Cheaper Shipping
I know how rough shipping can be and while I can't change what the shipping companies charge, I can tell you this: If you order multiple boxes, items or scoops in one larger order, your shipping cost per item is reduced!
If I find any other hacks for this, I'll be sure to update you all.
Happy trinket collecting and crafting, my little crows!
