Surprising Yourself With Mystery Gifts - The Something Store
The Something Store

Feel like buying something, anything, but just don’t know what? Try the Something Store! Upon receiving your $10 payment, the online store will ship you something completely random from their inventory. To make the experience even more fun, the gift comes wrapped in brown packaging marked with a big question mark.

What will your Something be?

“It may be something you need, something you want or something you desire,” the Something Store says.

“Yours may be a cool gadget, rare book, table game, handmade necklace, reverse clock, box of gourmet chocolates, set of shiny shower curtains, popular video game, big-box retailer gift card, the latest version of a software, a set of kitchen knives, a pair of designer jeans, garden tool, kitchen appliance, unique home decor item, electronic equipment, magazine subscription, office supply item, or ...

“Your something will most likely be brand new, though it may also be refurbished or antique.”

This is perfect for people who like spontaneity and surprises!

What a fantastic solution for those struggling to find a secret Santa gift—even they won’t know what’s inside! In fact, it’s like a real-life parcel from Santa, so you could even do it to treat yourself (except for the fact that you actually paid for it, and it wasn’t delivered free by some magical team of elves.)

I love getting stuff in the mail. You should be able to sign up for a monthly delivery, then you would forget about it and...surprise! another package in the post!

Elsa, I like that idea, you should let them know that at least two ppl would pay, like 100$ a year to get monthly random packages, heck I've done it with T-shirts for more $$
