What We Found in an Amazon Mystery Box: Bonide & More — May 27, 2026

This one was a mixed bag in the best, chaotic way. Our team pulled 27 notable items out of a single sealed Amazon Mystery Box today, and the range was genuinely something. Pest control sitting next to party decorations. Dog food next to index cards. Hot Springs keeps us humble.

The Headliner: BONIDE PRODUCTS 46186 46186 HORSE/STABLE FLY SPY 1.33G

At $42.49 retail, this fly trap pulled the most individual value of any single item in the box. If you've got a stable, barn, or just an outdoor space that gets gnarly in summer, this is the kind of find that makes buying a mystery box feel very smart very fast.

From there, the box went in a completely different direction. Six tubs of Play-Doh at $9.99 each — sealed, bright, ready for a kid's birthday haul or a craft stash. And two Luau Lantern Garlands from Amscan, which honestly scream summer cookout energy and ring up at $7.86 each.

Then came the bulk of the count. Nine packs of Oxford Ruled Index Cards — the classic 3x5 white, 100 per pack, $4.99 each. Teachers, students, flashcard obsessives: that's 900 index cards total across the nine packs. And nine cans of Natural Balance L.I.D. Limited Ingredient Diets Canned Wet Dog Food, Grain Free, Chicken and Sweet Potato Formula, 13-Ounce (Pack of 12) rounded things out — each at $1.82, great for pet owners who feed limited-ingredient diets.

The box also came with plenty of bin-labeled pieces heading straight into our store bins for resale. Not the flashiest pull we've ever done, but a solid, useful box — the kind where almost everything has a clear home the second it comes out.
