Suffering from severe decision paralysis is a hallmark of the holiday season, especially when your brain short-circuits trying to choose between a scarf and a blender. Instead of agonizing over the specific details, why not embrace the chaos and let the universe decide?

Mystery boxes are essentially socially acceptable gambling that allow you to hand someone a wrapped present without having the faintest clue what is actually inside. It is basically Schrödinger’s Christmas: the gift is simultaneously amazing and terrible until they rip it open. We gathered the best blind bundles to turn your living room into a high-stakes unboxing video.

Review: "This jewelry jar was amazing. I love everything in the jar. There are a couple things I will give away but I am keeping most of it. I am so glad I ordered this jar." - Paula

    I don't really wear makeup any more but this looks pretty fun and generous with the items you get. Stinginess is normally the issue I find with mystery boxes.

    Watching a loved one hold their breath while ripping open a blind bag is significantly more entertaining than watching them politely thank you for a pair of socks. If you haven't yet found the perfect container to confuse and delight your recipient, stay with us because the line between "rare collectible" and "plastic clutter" is about to get even thinner.
