Wow! I am really happy with my experience shopping for minis from Temu. I included the price of each item in the video, but some of the items had become cheaper since I purchased them. I went into the app and clicked the "request price adjustment" option, and my account was automatically credited the difference ($13 in total). You can get a credit to your account if the price drops within 30 days of purchase, but it isn't automatic. You need to request it. I didn't realize this policy exists until after I exported the video, so I didn't mention it.

Shopping Tip: PAY ATTENTION to the size of the item and the quantity you're buying. Temu shows photos of measurements, or includes the dimensions in the description (or both). The quantity is also specified. I wasn't paying enough attention and was surprised by the size and quantity a couple times.

The dollhouse kits I bought are 1:24 scale, half the size of 1:12. The metal tin kit is smaller.

The overall quality of the items I received was great. I'll be buying from Temu again.

*I wiped my tools and minis down with sanitizing wipes to remove any chemicals from production and germs from being handled by various people throughout the manufacturing and shipping process.

Heat gun- I use mine to quickly dry paint, soften the glue to dismantle furniture and quickly cure polymer clay without an oven. Gets a lot hotter than a hair dryer.

Craft heat gun that doesn't get as hot as mine

I have lots of projects planned ranging from abandoned miniatures, furniture makeovers, accessories, kits and Dollhouse Miniatures in multiple scales. I also have a large Harry Potter build planned for 1" scale.

  • Your crockpot is actually a rice maker. The white scoop is traditionally sold with every rice maker. You’ve got a great haul.”If you have Barbie’s who drink, this is a good deal” except that the one bottle looks exactly like aged soy sauce and one looks like Worcestershire. Now that’s what I call a drinking problem!

    The irons at that time used coals to heat the metal plate. One opened the hinge, slid little coals in and tried not to burn your fingers as you flattened your sheets.

    I just found your site recently. I am. It really into miniatures but I have watched my daughter, over the years, turn loose end and bits into amazing scenes and vignettes. She didn’t have many dollhouse sites listed in her subscription but yours was one of the few she visited often. She passed away last January. She was an avid miniaturist collected. I’m sure she found your videos, about purchasing from vendors are clear, incisive and informative. There are no ugly surprises when one goes to purchase miniatures from a site. You list prices and your opinion of the quality of the item. The latter is especially helpful, or was to Lucy.

    If it's cold it's glass. Hold a glass bead and a plastic bead in your hand or touch it to your face to compare. The coldest one is glass.

    I ordered from Temu, minis, craft supplies, jewelry components, and 2 small statues. Everything was there, nothing was damaged, and I actually loved everything. I was pleasantly surprised and just placed another order. Oh yes, it came in 8 days! You got some cute stuff!!!!

    Hi Shyra. Great video. You have such a natural sense of humor. It makes me laugh. Thank you for sharing this haul. You found some fun things.
  • @nildarodriguez3974
    Except for a few purchases on sale at Hobby Lobby and Michaels, most of my pieces are from Temu. Love that you displayed all your pieces unwrapped and your warnings to scale properly before buying. I've wound up with some pieces that are begging for another house or room. FAIR WARNING, it's addictive.😊
  • I know nothing about miniature, just stumbled on your channel and got intrigued. Truly amazing
  • @FoxyVoxy247
    With the antique iron they used to take a rectangular part out of the back and heat it over a fire to get it hot. They'd then insert it into the iron to make the iron hot to use. LOVE your haul, can't wait to see what you do with them!
  • @BohoAstronaut
    I love your sense of humor. I just stumbled across your channel earlier this week and have been watching a few of your videos everyday. I love your creativity. I have always made all my mini accessories from "trash" but I shop on temu regularly so I am definitely going to explore their miniatures section more. Oh and I find your voice so soothing I've found myself falling asleep to your videos the past 3 nights lol
  • I have the Roaming In Paris miniture set and I absolutely love how it turned out. It wasn't too hard to put together, but time consuming to say the least. Nice mini haul, great ideas, tyfs.
  • @papabear2515
    I appreciate seeing this haul! Temu is “hard to resist” as their prices are so good! You’re right - checking details, quantity, etc before ordering is key …but enthusiasm gets in (my) way at times. Haha. I purchased the orange juice pitcher and glasses and was happy with those for my house. Looking forward to seeing what you do with all of the items! Thanks much, Kathleen
  • Love your informative content - your voice soothes my anxiety. Thank you from Auckland, New Zealand xx
  • @DonnaMull
    I bought the same paper and it's great for lining suitcases and trunks, and i made some gift bags and hatboxes too
  • Omg I just found your channel and I’m obsessed! You are awesome. Everything you share and teach is so helpful in starting out, as I am. I also really appreciate that you express what you don’t like and how to fix it. And when you talk about how you would do something different next time. I love how you use a lot of everyday items in your scenes. You rock! Thank you for all your sharing!! ❤
  • @arsinowey66
    Such an amazing haul !! I've had a cart stuffed with so many things I've been wanting to get, but I was hesitant to put out the money and get a bunch of trashy items !! Seeing everything you've gotten gave me the courage and I'm sorting through all of the items checking out the sizes and making sure that everything is the correct size..... Now I can't wait to get everything !! I'm gonna try one of those kits and I'm going to make it mine ! And I agree with the paper flooring , I'm going to make a real wooden floor !! Thank you for your time showing and explaining everything I really appreciate your help and information !!
  • @kkossor
    LOVE the Amazon and Fed Ex boxes. I can make a miniature store room of my house. LOL
  • @jamiegallier2106
    I really enjoyed your horde haul, the details, humor and tips. So much cute stuff. Loved the firebox, decanters and all the cool findings.
  • @valleygrl1
    This was so awesome. Thank you! I always look at measurements over scale. If the measurements are right then it doesn't matter what they SAY the scale is.
