I love packing fake orders!!!

Hey Lemon8 fam! So, you've probably seen those super satisfying 'fake order' packing videos all over your feed, right? I just packed one myself, and it's seriously so much fun! For those wondering, a 'fake order' isn't a real customer purchase, but rather a specially curated bundle I pack to showcase what my mystery scoops are all about. It's a fantastic way to give you a sneak peek into the kind of goodies you might receive and to get super creative with themes! One of my favorite parts is the treasure hunt for the perfect goodies. For my latest 'fake order,' I decided to go with a gorgeous purple and blue theme for 2 scoops, and it turned out so aesthetic! I always aim to include a delightful mix of practical and undeniably cute items. This particular bundle featured adorable mini notebooks – perfect for jotting down quick thoughts – a super squishy mochi squishy that's just irresistible to play with, a few colorful scrunchies for everyday hair styles, and a vibrant sheet of fun stickers to personalize anything. I also made sure to add a pretty cute pen and some lovely matching bracelets to complete the entire look. It's all about creating a cohesive, exciting, and visually appealing unboxing experience, even if it's just for content! Thinking of making your own 'fake order' content? Here are my top tips to make yours stand out! First, always choose a strong theme. It could be a specific color scheme like mine, a trending aesthetic (think cottagecore, Y2K), or even a character-inspired bundle – I've seen some amazing ones featuring beloved characters like POCHACCO! Second, ensure you have a good variety of items. Don't just stick to one type of product; mix it up with different textures, sizes, and functions. Imagine getting 2 scoops packed with totally different surprises! Third, presentation is key. How you arrange everything in the box, the type of tissue paper you use, any personalized notes – it all adds to the magic. I always try to make it look visually pleasing, almost like an ASMR video without the sound, to really draw viewers in. A question I often get (and even ask myself when sourcing products!) is 'would you pay $16 for these items?' It's a fantastic way to gauge the perceived value and ensure I'm offering a great deal. When I'm truly putting together a mystery scoop for customers, I always aim for the total retail value of the individual items to significantly exceed the scoop price. For my 'fake orders,' this exercise helps me refine my bundles, discover new product ideas, and see what truly resonates most with potential customers. It's also a fun, interactive question to pose to your audience in your content – it sparks conversation and engagement, which is so important on platforms like Lemon8!
