Neither of us are getting our hopes up... we just look forward to being pleasantly surprised... who cares if it's junk... it's something you sign on for when you buy a something.

I won't get my hopes up for the fancy items, but I've read dozens of things other people got and some of them really are just crap dollar store stuff. I think the surprise might be worth $5, but the other $5 would have to be the item. This is indeed tempting.

I figured 10 bucks is nothing and it would have just went to food I'd buy on a whim... But after reading the reviews almost all of them give a positive rating and say something along the lines of, "really like the idea, but the product was worthless." But hey maybe I'll be one of the four people that gets something of value, or at least something interesting or rare. I just bought one and I instantly regret it.
