What have you gotten in the mystery box sales from COTD or 1-day?

Recently i purchased a deal from 1-Day the 9.99 Mystery box. I ended up purchasing 1 x Man, 1 x Ladies and 1 x Random. Ended up costing i think $46 including shipping.

I received -

6 X Pringles,
Cordless Swivel Sweeper
Swarovski Elements White Crystals earrings and pendant set Sterling Silver

I can only assume that the pringles were for the man pack. The earrings/necklace was random and the Swivel Sweeper was for woman. Jokes aside i'm just wondering what other people have managed to get?

Even though i'm sure the swivel sweeper is going to suck, it seems to be decent value when searched online. As for the earrings/pendant set, i guess thats okay value. With the mark up on jewelery it's really impossible to have a consistent rrp price. Lastly pringles, i'm pretty sure i've seen these on 1-day before for 9.99 or less so i'm not thrilled about it. I'm pretty sure it says the item will be worth at least $10. But i can't find the listing to confirm.

Another time i purchased a mystery box from 1-day and received some imitation m&m's. They tasted to bad, i threw them out and 1-day were awesome and gave me a refund.
I've also purchased from COTD mystery items from $1 - $10 and have gotten books, chocolate, laptop bag, bbq mat. etc etc.

I'm pretty sure this will be the last time i do a mystery purchase apart from $1 COTD ones.

In case you're wondering how anyone falls for the mystery box sales, this should pretty much sum it up:

    I think I got some obscure food item when I bought last.

    I did order one of the free plus 1 cent shipping pre birthday items. Haven't received it yet. I expect it to be crap.

    I really wish people wouldn't buy these mystery box items, 99% of the time its crap and end up in landfills.
    i.e I once bought a mystery box from COTD (2 years ago) cheap useless toys and ended up tossing them.

      Better off selling them really cheap in a wholesale lot to someone who will sell them in the markets.

    Those swivel sweepers are crap.

    Then again, my sister inlaw swears by it

      if they need to clear shit, just be honest and run a flash sale saying its 1 cent, im sure some people will buy it

    Got the random 9.99 box, was a box of 20 handmade christmas cards. I was 'where's my useless toy' but my mother was stocked and claimed them.
    Last time I got something like this it was a hulk action figure, now that's the point of a mystery box it's a surprise present sometimes.

    I also received the box of handmade christmas cards. In the past I have got Vietnamese chup a chups and a waterproof disposable camera in one, 3xsize 16 gstrings (was good for a laugh) and a Velcro wallet in another and lastly I got a new Gillette razor with heaps of blades and portable speakers. When will I learn not to be sucked in?
