One woman based in the US, was thrilled to find that the mystery box she spent just £50 on contained an entire set of cast iron goodies.
Not only did she get a Dutch oven, baking trays and a skillet, but the design was the sought after Olive Branch collection.
And now, after years of watching these videos in a jealous rage, Brits can get their hands on them.
The brand took to social media to announce that the mystery box offer was heading our way.
"Something exciting (and a little mysterious) is coming to our Factory To Table Sale," they wrote.
"Want in on the action? Sign up to be the first to know when tickets go live."
They announced that they would finally be doing a factory-to-table sale in the UK.
The sale will be held in Harrogate, Yorkshire, on September 27 and 28 with VIP and general admission tickets available to buy.
VIP tickets cost £25 while general admission costs £10.
The VIP ticket holders will have early access to the sale where products will be up to 60% off.

If you spend over £150 in the sale you are then able to buy a mystery box of goodies for just £50 while stock lasts.
While you won't know what colour or items you get inside, the mystery box is worth grabbing.
Each mystery box have a minimum value of £500 RRP worth of Le Creuset items, and are guaranteed to include at least one piece of Cast Iron cookware.
The total minimum amount you'll have to spend to get a box comes to £210 which includes your ticket, sale item costs and the mystery box price.
But considering that just one Le Creuset casserole dish usually retails for £239, it's well worth the money.
Fans of the brand went wild on social media over the news and begged Le Creuset to bring it to other locations.
One person wrote: "OMG a Le Creuset mystery box is all I want as a wedding gift but I live in London and thought it wouldn't happen! Hoping this is soon!!"
"No I NEED this," penned a third.
Top kitchen trends for 2025
Josie Medved, Design Manager for Symphony Group, has shared her insights on what she predicts will be big news for 2025.
Matt finishes
In 2025, the focus shifts to more matt textures, which offer a sleek, sophisticated look that complements modern kitchen designs. A matt finish is low-maintenance, perfect for families and busy lifestyles.
Textured cabinets
Surfaces with a textured finish have become increasingly popular this year and 2025 will see them adding visual interest, feature focal points and even sound absorption in the kitchen. Ribbed effects will be particularly on trend.
Pocket doors
When entertaining in an open-plan space, it's nice to hide away all the cooking clutter and washing-up without having to leave the kitchen. Pocket doors are space-saving and flexible for different needs.
Caramel colours
After the recent surge of interest in yellow kitchens, Caramel cabinetry is the next colour trend that is set to be a huge hit in 2025. Adding warmth and lightness to a space with limited natural light, this tone is uplifting and inviting, and it looks super-glam when teamed with contrasting Black.
Mix and match
Whether it's to create a statement look in an otherwise neutral scheme or simply to introduce two favourite colours to the kitchen, taking a mix and match approach is set to be the look in 2025. For an eye-catching design, grey or white cabinets around the room are the perfect complement to a standout island in a more daring shade such as Dusky Pink or Hunter Green.
Meanwhile a fourth said: "OMG it's happening."
"I will sell my soul to make it please,' claimed a fifth
