Build-An-IRK
1[I have no idea if something like this has been proposed before, so apologies if this is a redundant idea.]
It would be really cool if IRK listings had two options.
First option is the regular IRK.
Second option: Build-An-IRK for something like $5-10 extra dollars.
You get to pick one big item from a Big IRK Box List, and then meh still tosses in the little random, unknown filler stuff. Basically, you would be paying to get your shipping label on a specific IRK box with a specific big item inside.
You can’t see the Big IRK Box List until after purchase is complete. I know that would require a bit of a change in the ordering system. Maybe meh could utilize a system like PledgeBox (used by Kickstarter creators) to get the “Big IRK Box choice” from us meh-ers after purchase.
Granted, once you can see the Big IRK Box List, then you know what other big items are sitting in IRK boxes ready to go out. But I think that would be a boon for meh that would help sell IRK boxes, because if someone sees something else they want, they could buy another Build-An-IRK at the added cost. Win-win?
The negative of that would be that a person has bought one Build-An-IRK, now knows what other big items there are, and doesn’t want anything else, whereas that person “might” have bought a few regular IRKs without knowing what’s inside. I don’t know how often folks buy more than one IRK at a time, so that would be an interesting statistic to compare the idea against.

I think most of us like the surprise more than anything. How often have you had this exchange:
“what did you get?”
“mystery box”
:eyeroll:
When you figure that out, then you can start suggesting how things should work around here.
