Why We're NOT Having a Black Friday Sale (Again This Year)


It's become a bit of a holiday tradition here at Mail Order Mystery. We're not having a Black Friday or Cyber Monday sale this year. In fact, we've never had one.

We create personalized experiences for kids that take time to prepare. We don’t want to compromise our commitment to creating great experiences for kids in order to jump into the feeding frenzy of sales, competing to be heard above the noise.

So you won't see us artificially increasing our prices so we can look like we are offering great deals for one weekend of the year. We won't make you buy a "bundle" with a bunch of stuff you don't want just to get the mystery you actually want to buy. And we're not offering any "free" gifts that aren't really free.

We may not be having a blowout sale, but we think there are a lot of other pretty great reasons to order our one-of-a-kind mystery experiences. And you can do that today without having to worry about missing out on any big Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales. You’ll know you paid the same price we charge almost every other day of the year. And best of all you’ll be giving the gift of intrigue, mystery and adventure to a kid you love.

We just wanted to let you know so that you don't spend your holiday or weekend waiting to see if we're having a sale. We're not. But our mysteries make amazing gifts.
