There were so many gifts left behind Pomeroy had to become a detective to learn when her grandparents left them.

Based on this TikTok, it seems as if they left the goods way before 2008, but after 1995.

In an interesting turn of events, Pomeroy found out she received almost identical gifts from those who passed away.
