Here’s how the conversation went with Greg and I the first time I ordered from them.
“What are you doing?”
“Oh, just ordering something.”
“What is it?”
“I dunno, something.”
“What do you mean you don’t know? What is it?”
“I don’t know, I just ordered something from The Something Store.”
“Whatever, NOW, you’re just being jerk.”
“NOOOO, really I just ordered SOMETHING.”
“YEAH, I KNOW, you just said that, but what is it?”
“I DON”T KNOW…it’s something!!” (this continued on for several minutes)
After I explained it all made sense to him!! hahaha
“The Something Store”. I’ve been ordering from them for many years and it’s always been fun waiting for the package to arrive to find out what was inside. Sometimes, if I’m having a bad week, I’ll just hop on and order a little “something”. It’s like Christmas ALL year round because you NEVER know what you will be getting!
So what is “The Something Store”? Well I wish *I* would have thought of it!!:
The Something Store is a fun website that operates simply by sending you something, an item selected randomly among many products from their inventory, for $10 (free shipping in the US) and you will find out what your something is when you receive it.” Awesomeness!!
According to their website…” Your SOMETHING may be ANYTHING“. It could be a cool gadget, popular video game, a pair of handmade earrings, garden tool, unique home decor item, magazine subscription…..total randomness. But whatever your “something” is, they promise it to be at least a $10 value (which is what it costs to purchase) In the past I’ve gotten anything from a $25 Starbucks gift card, a wallet, a candle set, a herb garden..just to name a few-complete and total randomness!
