What is this SomethingStore.com?

My friend and I had a conversation recently where she told me about this store that sends you something completely random for $10 which includes the item and it's shipping...and the catch is you don't know what this random item is it could be something like earrings (which my friend got) or a scarf to a Kindle Fire or iPod.
I didn't know what to think of this at first but I was intrigued, so I decided to look into it today. 

The Website:


SomethingStore is a fun website that operates simply: We will send you something, an item selected randomly among many products from our inventory, for $10 (free shipping in the US) and you will discover what your something is when you receive it. 

Seems like a fair deal in my opinion and hey kinda fun too! It's nice to have a surprise every now and then and who knows it could be worth MORE than $10 and it be something you really want...and even if you don't like the surprise you could re-gift whatever you get to someone you know sometime so it's kind of a win-win situation. And if you can prove that whatever they give you isn't worth $10 they will refund you the difference. It lets you know what could possibly be in the package you get and what most definitely won't (this list is pretty funny to read). There is also a nifty something tracker of things that people have received recently. If you click "Get Yours" you'll move on to an order page...


They are $10 each and you can order up to 20 somethings in a single purchase...though you'll be spending a lot then. Two seemed like a good deal to me just to increase the chance that I might get something really cool. I love the fact that it's just that flat cost and you don't have to pay extra for tax or shipping...it's great!

I haven't gotten my SomethingStore purchase yet since I just placed the order today, but I can tell you I'm excited to receive it...whatever it is. I'll let you all know if it was worthwhile in the long run once I receive my items! :)
