The concept of "blind box" has become a consumer trend. According to the "2020 Blind Box Economic Insight Report", it is expected that in 2024, the market size of the blind box industry will exceed 30 billion yuan.
And that's just a blind box as a trendy toy. In real life, the concept of blind boxes has been extended to a wider range of areas. Tickets have blind boxes, text has blind boxes, and books have blind boxes. The feeling of opening the blind box at the moment prompts people to consume more and more "blind boxes".
We found a few young consumers and talked about their stories with different categories of blind boxes. Some people are crazy, and some people resolutely retreat from the pit. But the unknown possibilities in the blind box will always make more and more people feel up.

I decided to use the money from the bag to buy an archaeological blind box
A while ago, I very much wanted to buy a brand-name bag, more than 20,000 yuan, I can afford to spend, but it is a little expensive after all, so I thought and thought. Until I recently came into contact with the archaeological blind box from the Henan Museum, I decided to use all the money to buy the bag to buy the archaeological blind box.
The first archaeological blind box I bought cost 90 yuan, which is a more expensive model. In my hand, I got a miniature Luoyang shovel, a mud block, and the unknown wrapped in the mud. The operation process is to wet the mud block with a little water and use the Luoyang shovel to dig out the "cultural relics" inside.
The simulation degree of "cultural relics" is quite high, look at the Internet, the hand is more European will open Wu Zetian Jinjian, Dushan Jade, Xuande Furnace and the like. The first one I opened was the Painted Heavenly King Figurine. But the painted part seems to have been damaged a bit by my improper operation, maybe I splashed too much water, so the opening is a bit mottled?
I wasn't cold about blind boxes before, but I did enjoy exploring new things. The archaeological blind box is really interesting to me: the process of opening the blind box itself has something in common with archaeology, and when it is shoveled down, no one knows what will be opened. After digging it out, you also have to study and search for information to determine what you have opened (the way to save trouble is to consult customer service), which seems to be more like archaeology.
My second and third blind boxes are on the way, and I am most looking forward to opening the bronze mirror and the golden Jane. Moreover, gathering six Luoyang shovels can be exchanged for a silver-plated Luoyang shovel - I have to say, it is too good at marketing. I feel like I'll soon have a lot of Luoyang shovels. The joy of this process is more than buying a designer bag. I even plan to travel to Henan for this purpose, to go to the Henan Museum to see the "treasures" I dug up.

As one of the three hundred Xiufen in the whole network, I set up a youth with you 3 blind box peripheral mutual aid group
There is a concept of quantity circulating in the draft circle: three hundred "Xiufen", which means a unique group of fans who continue to pay attention to the talent show, the number of them is not large, but the influence is not small.
As one of the three hundred Xiufen on the whole network, I have truly broken my heart for the suspension of youth with you 3. During the show's broadcast, I was hooked on the draft blind box.
This is my first time buying a draft blind box. In fact, the peripheral form of this "blind box" is not new in the draft. For example, the first physical album of the recently popular Times Youth League will randomly attach a member's small card to each album.
The attraction of this kind of blind box to me is actually the form of the peripheral + blind box, the style of the content is uncertain, so it is also more exciting, and this also has a certain collection nature, if you draw a favorite player, it will really feel a good memorial.
Youth has you 3 out of the first wave of blind boxes is before the first elimination, the first batch of blind boxes contain all players. It is unlimited and can be pumped arbitrarily within a limited time. I will set a number for myself in my heart, and if I don't have my favorite players in this number, I will choose to change or directly accept others.
If you can draw the desired candidate with the fewest number of times, the satisfaction will explode. I also drew the hidden part of the blind box this time, and I was still very happy.
During the broadcast of the program, I set up a youth with you 3 blind box peripheral mutual aid group on Douban, in fact, the exchange of blind boxes is very common, and there will be cases of unpacking and resale on the second-hand shopping platform, mainly because I want to use the lowest cost to get the style I want.
My original intention of running this mutual aid group is also like this, I hope that everyone can get the blind box of the players they want through exchange, and do not have to "fight alone" alone.
The rice circle is very sensitive to "home" or "cp", but for me, the trainees who have a good feeling will stay if they draw it, and they will not pay special attention to those complicated relationships, after watching the show for so long, they also have feelings. If I draw a trainee who is not familiar with it, I will sell it at a relatively low price. I have met people who are more "fraternal" than I am, and they come up to me directly and say "handsome guys I accept" hahaha.
The fact that Youth has you 3 stopped broadcasting is quite complicated, but I still got some positive energy during watching the show. It's as if everyone has the opportunity to draw a hidden blind box with a 1% chance, and I hope that every player's efforts will not be disappointed – even if there is little hope. If they can be given a graduation ceremony after a good rectification, the regrets of the players and the audience about their dreams will be filled.

Qing 3 can't go on, and the blind box I bought can't be returned
I like to watch the talent show, in early 2019 began to chase "youth with you", 1, 2, 3 are all chased. But I never participate in fundraising, nor do I invest, because I know that this is the game of capital, and we fans alone can't change a lot. But I like to buy peripherals, blind boxes, cotton dolls, photos, etc., and after the group becomes a group, I will also go to the surrounding cities to watch performances.
There are several blind boxes in the Cyan 3 program, 1.0 is 109 contestants, 2.0 is the top 60 contestants, and 3.0 is the top 35 contestants. Inside the blind box is a player's small card plus a small perimeter, standing cards, keychains and the like. If you want to smoke a blind box, you must first spend money to buy the qualification of the shaking box, 30 yuan a time, and buy it before you can shake it. After shaking, go to the blind box cabinet to check, you can choose to ship the blind box that has been shaken, and it will be shipped within 60 days.
I smoked 3.0, shook five or six times, and all of them were blind boxes of trainees who had no fans at all, so I didn't choose to ship them. I also opened a post to ask, found that many people are like this, no fans of the three trainees with a very high winning rate. I said I just had to pay the postage for free, but no one paid any attention to me.
When I learned of Yu Jingtian's retirement and the news that the show was going to be suspended, I thought it was the final postponement, and then I reacted that we might never see the final. The only reaction at the time was not to let this fraudulent company make a penny more! At that time, when I drew a trainee I didn't like, I asked customer service and said that I couldn't return it. After the show accident, I asked again, and no one replied.
Angry for a while, just when I was comforting myself with "spending money to buy lessons", I saw that someone shared a post that I had successfully found a refund from human customer service, so I did the same, saying that I would go to the Cyberspace Administration to complain. Sure enough, the opposite directly returned the second, let me provide the Alipay account number, said within 15 days to refund the money.

I'm a boy, but I also like to collect exquisite stationery
I like to visit stationery shops. In the third year of junior high school, every weekend will go to the teacher's house to make up lessons, there is a very large stationery store near the teacher's home, there are many brands of stationery, I will go to the stationery store after each make-up class, but also to relieve some academic pressure.
My mother would give me money for a taxi home, sometimes a little more, and the rest of the money I would use to buy stationery that I liked. I should be considered a very exquisite boy, and the appearance and quality requirements for stationery are quite high.
In May of last year, I began to come into contact with the blind box of stationery and saved a complete set of neutral pens jointly launched by Morning Light and Naci's "Lin Shen Unknown Place" system. At the beginning, I would buy one every once in a while, but fortunately, when I bought eight (there are 12 in this series), there was no repetition, and later because the exam was still good, my mother bought me a full set online as a reward, and the mood of accumulating a full set was still very happy. Those that are repeated, we classmates will also carry out a circulation, which is not too wasteful.
Most people think that the Xixi series should be liked by girls, and many similar cute handmade on the market are used to attract girls, but I don't really care much about this stereotype. I'm not afraid that collecting these colorful, pink and tender stationery will be ridiculed by my classmates, I just simply think that this series is very beautiful, and these exquisite images are very attractive to me. Of course, I will also buy the co-brand of One Piece and Conan that I like.
I am now a freshman in high school, and my academic time is very tight, and I have almost no time to go to the stationery store and collect the blind box of stationery. So the hobby of that year was also stranded.
I know that there are many objections in society to teenagers buying stationery blind boxes, such as teenagers who have no independence in the economy, who are easier to be brainwashed by consumerism, etc., and indeed there are some chaotic news. But for myself, the stationery blind box is just a way for me to be briefly liberated from academic stress. During that time, I did get a lot of pleasure from the stationery I liked, but all this did not affect my studies and life.

Gradually, after I found that my mentality was swayed by the blind box, my Buddhist system retreated
The first time I knew about the blind box was once to visit the MixC on the side of the school, and my roommate took me to popmart's offline store. Just entered by the cute dolls in the display case attracted, think it is so exquisite and fun, at that time I thought that labubu this IP is the most interesting, but it is limited to appreciation, and later every time I go to the MixC will also visit.
The real pit should be because of the tmall u first activity, popmart has the "first blind box" activity, new members can get a blind box at 9.9 (later found that it is just a thunder clearing activity), but also used the account of the people around to buy. Later, I gradually learned about the Tmall box machine and the WeChat box machine mini program, and it was out of control (because the WeChat box machine has a display card, which can show what is in the box, and if you don't like it, you can not buy it). In fact, from the beginning, I was a very casual African player, I can draw the best I like, it doesn't matter if I can't draw it, for the hidden model, I think I can't draw it.
Later, through the Small Red Book, the way around the baby friends and the like, joined some blind box groups, and then also contacted some second-hand channels (such as the tide play family mini program), began to collect some like but cheaper second-hand dolls from others, and they will also take out or exchange with others what they don't like very much.
At the top, I have been brushing the group message every day to see if there is a leak to pick up; I will also brush on the little red book to see if there is a hot position, and then go to the box machine to find this box number (usually it takes more than half an hour or even more than an hour). Gradually, I found that my mood was always swayed by the blind box, so now that the Buddhist system is half retreating from the pit, it is really much more relaxed!
There are also a lot of interesting things to do in the process of playing with the blind box. The first is that when I liked labububu before, its fans were not many, and the few I drew myself were all my favorite, but some of them were not in line with the public aesthetic, and I also received a few favorite babies at a low price on the second-hand platform. Unexpectedly, the ip of labubu was suddenly hyped up! Some of the babies I bought cheaply will take one or two hundred to receive, although my favorites will not go out, but I am very happy to see them increase in value!
I have about 150 dolls so far, and on these dolls, it always costs thousands. But happiness is difficult to measure with money, as long as I buy a doll I like, I will be happy for a long time, this is not money can be exchanged for ah.

"Chicken Man" blind box, nostalgic for my time in graduate school
I am a fresh graduate this year, and I have spent most of my half a year in graduate school alone and anxiously. A while ago, I brushed Weibo to see that there was a "chicken man" blind box, and I missed my mentality of last year's examination and research time, and I wanted to buy one to see.
The price of this blind box is very conscientious, a dime, and randomly received a "chicken man" gift package from a famous teacher, including a teacher's audio, video and mobile phone wallpaper. The seller's suggestion is: the audio can be set to a wake-up ringtone, like a natural sound; the video can be repeatedly viewed or set as a live wallpaper, not forgetting the original intention; the wallpaper can be set to the mobile phone desktop, always spurring yourself. Product Introduction: The blind box of the famous teacher "Chicken Man" is prevented from being bored with school once a day.
In the spirit of "can't buy a loss and can't buy a fool", I resolutely placed an order, and my friends around me were also interested in buying one. Seller delivery is a network disk link, according to the extraction code to pick up, see the introduction of the basic examination and research masters are found in the blind box.
I received Teacher Tang Jiafeng, because of a sentence "How can you sleep at this age" out of the circle, the sound is indeed very scary, used to make an alarm clock in the morning suddenly woke up. Although I have not taken the graduate school now, but used to make wallpaper, usually addicted to playing mobile phones when I see it, I will still be nervous, reminding myself to hurry up and do the right thing.
In fact, I am not particularly cold about the blind box, I have bought Bubble Mart twice before, simply because I see the contents I like. The blind box economy is a new outlet, but it is not a "blind box for all things", such as the recent "pet blind box" is very inhumane. In contrast, the "chicken blind box" is a very good form of guiding people to be positive.
