Hi Unpackers! The reception to Unpacking was so good we wanted to make a little accolades trailer to honor all of the joy, emotions, and love we were given this year. In our first 10 days, we sold over 100,000 units of Unpacking which is a mind blowing number! Thank you for all for joining us on this journey! Best, Victoria and Witch Beam
