Atomic Attic FAQs
Mystery Scoops should be full of surprises. Ordering one shouldn’t be. ✦Here’s everything you need to know before your scoop begins its journey from the Attic to you.
-
Choose your vibe and share your likes, dislikes and preferences when you order. I’ll personally curate a Mystery Scoop filled with fun, useful and unexpected finds selected with you in mind. Mystery Scoops are filmed (at no additional cost) for social media so you can watch your scoop being revealed! If you prefer not to have your scoop filmed, just let me know in your order notes. Every scoop is unique, and while preferences help guide me, the surprise is part of the fun.
-
Absolutely! Your preferences are a big part of the fun. When you order, you can share your favorite colors, styles, interests, likes, dislikes and anything else that helps me get a feel for you. You may also exclude up to 3 item types that you do not want included in your scoop. I use all of those details when curating your order. While I can’t guarantee specific requested items, I’ll do my best to create a scoop that feels like it was chosen just for you.

Atomic Attic is all about thoughtful curation, not just filling a scoop. My philosophy is simple: Everyday Items… But Make Them Beautiful. I look for fun, useful and beautiful versions of the things you actually use, then mix them with nostalgic finds, unexpected treasures and a little bit of weird. Each Mystery Scoop is individually hand-curated around your vibe, preferences and personality, so the result feels less like a random mystery box and more like a surprise chosen especially for you.
-
Atomic and Sub-Atomic Balls are special add-ons that add one extra curated surprise to your Mystery Scoop. Sub-Atomic Balls feature an elevated bonus item, while Atomic Balls are reserved for some of the most luxe and premium offerings at Atomic Attic. Each add-on is selected to complement your scoop and add another layer of surprise to your order. Atomic and Sub-Atomic Balls are add-ons and cannot be purchased separately.
-
Each Mystery Scoop is filled with a curated mix of fun, useful and unexpected finds selected around your vibe and preferences. Items may include accessories, home goods, stationery, beauty and lifestyle finds, nostalgic treasures and other Atomic Attic favorites. The exact mix varies with every scoop—that’s part of the surprise!

Atomic Attic is a one-woman shop, and every Mystery Scoop is individually curated just for you. Please allow approximately 6–8 weeks for video orders to be curated and prepared for shipping. Processing times may vary depending on order volume, and the most current estimated timeframe will always be posted on the website.
I also post regular order updates so you can see where I am in the queue and which orders are currently being completed. Once your order ships, you’ll receive tracking information by email.
Prefer not to have your scoop filmed? Non-video orders are typically completed within approximately 2 weeks, since I can work on them while filmed orders are being uploaded and processed.
Please check the latest order update before emailing for an order status—chances are, the answer you’re looking for is already there! ✦
-
Unfortunately, I’m not able to combine separate orders for shipping. Each order enters the queue individually and is processed, curated and shipped under its own order number. If you place multiple orders, each order will be completed and shipped separately, and shipping charges cannot be combined or refunded.
This policy helps me keep orders organized and ensures that every Atomic Attic order moves through the queue accurately.
