For total grins, I bought one of Daily Steal's "random box of crap". I don't know what I'll get, only that it'll be worth more than $35. It did... sorta.
What I actually got:
* a convertible scarf / rain-hood (wear it as a scarf. If it rains, flip it inside out, and it's a scarf on one side, rain-repellant material with a hood on the other, with pockets for your electronics and whatnot. Meh.
* A single-cup coffee dripper setup using single cup filters, that folds flat (I'm not a coffee drinker)
* A pop-up trash can that also folds flat and zips into itself (car use) -- meh, seen it before
* A couple magnets (meh)
* A Loctite brand superglue (worth a few bucks)
* A "facial sponge" (meh)
* Irish spring face wash (worth a few bucks)
IMHO, should be priced closer to $25 than $35. But that's just me.
