My First Time Buying From TikTok Shop | GONE WRONG (I Lost £50)

Introduction

Hey guys, it's King Sparks here! I'm at Try Talking Lesses today with some rather amusing content to share. Recently, we returned from a boot sale, and amidst the chaos, I decided to order some items from TikTok Shop, all totaling £50. Spoiler alert: it didn't quite go as planned!

The Unboxing Begins

Right off the bat, let me show you what I got! First up, there's this lovely DVA figure from Overwatch that I purchased from the boot sale. Isn't it gorgeous? Now, let’s get to the TikTok Shop haul. The reason I can present this whole unboxing extravaganza is with the help of Shopify—our generous sponsor.

As we delve into the TikTok order, I have to say that I was pretty excited. However, the first item definitely raised some eyebrows: it's a plush creature named Po from the planet "poooo." Authentic, right? I have no idea what it really is, but it was part of the hilarity!

Next up is a weird fan! I expected it to be flimsy, but it’s surprisingly effective! It cools you down, although at one point, it did feel like it might explode.

The Water Gun That Shocked Me

Let’s take a moment to talk about one of the show-stoppers: a water gun that I ordered. It arrived and looked mega fun but came with its fair share of warnings. We filled it up, and boy, did it pack a cold punch! It’s surprisingly powerful and was a highlight of the unboxing, even though I lost count of how many times I accidentally got my partner wet.

Lights, Camera, and Effects!

Moving onto another item from the TikTok haul, we explored LED lights that had the potential to add some flair to any setting. They were a viral hit on the platform, and I was eager to see if they'd live up to the hype. After some tussle with the tangled cords and scissor mishaps, they lit up! Even though it took a while, they added a magical ambiance.

Epic Fails and Light Sabers

Our grand finale was an electric light saber! Complete with all the charm of a Jedi weapon, I couldn't wait to unveil it. The excitement was palpable. Once we powered it on, the colors dazzled us—vivid blues, reds, and purples, perfect for striking poses or playful battles.

However, this TikTok experience didn’t come without minor disasters. Getting the colors to show properly and managing all the functions led to a comedy of errors, notably the hilarious instruction failures and losing the remote (which made the struggle even funnier)!

Conclusion: Was it Worth £50?

Unfortunately, while I anticipated amazing products, the overall takeaway was mixed. While some items were surprisingly great, others were underwhelming and led to questionable purchases. Nonetheless, the comedic aspect of the unboxing with my partner made it well worth it.

If there's one lesson here, it’s to keep your expectations in check when shopping online, especially from TikTok!
