What We Found in an Amazon Mystery Box: Mullow & More — May 21, 2026

Wednesday afternoon the team cracked open a tighter Amazon Mystery Box here in Hot Springs. Eighteen items, $145 in estimated retail value, and honestly? A pretty mixed bag. But mixed bags still have good stuff in them if you look.

The Most Useful Find: A Donut Pillow That Actually Makes Sense

The item that made us pause was the Mullow® Donut Pillow — a seat cushion designed specifically for tailbone pain relief, postpartum recovery, sciatica, and long hours at a desk. Retail at $32.09, and it's the kind of thing someone is actively searching for. Not flashy. Just genuinely practical. We see a lot of novelty items come through these boxes, so a quality ergonomic cushion feels like a quiet win.

On the toy side, the box brought a little something for the kids. The Monster Jam Official Stabilizer Monster Truck Die-Cast Vehicle showed up — 1:64 scale, sealed, $19.79 retail. Small but mighty, and those Monster Jam die-casts are always a quick grab for parents of little ones. Alongside it came a PAW Patrol Big Truck Pups Marshall Transforming Rescue Truck at $12.59 retail, which — if you have a preschooler in your life — you already know how that goes. It won't last five minutes on the shelf.

The rest of the box was bin-labeled bulk pieces heading straight into our store bins, so keep an eye on those if you're a regular digger.

Not every Amazon Mystery Box is going to knock your socks off, and that's kind of the point — you're treasure hunting, not shopping a curated boutique. Some days you get a box full of wow. Some days you get a donut pillow and two toy trucks. And honestly? We'll take it.
