What's the single best item you've ever gotten from Meh?
0Seems like we’re quick to talk about worst items, especially those in IRKs, so let’s turn it around: what’s the best thing you’ve ever gotten? Was it something that wowed you because it was unusual, something you’ve always wanted, something that you never thought you’d see on Meh, something that was an unbelievably good deal? Tell us about it and tell us why it’s the best item! (IRK items and Meh items you got in a gift exchange are included.)
RIght now, I’d say the best item I’ve ever gotten is the two-pack of Einova Sirius GaN 65-Watt Adapters. They are just perfect for my Lenovo laptop and what’s makes them great to me is that they’re so much smaller than the factory adapter. The close runner-up was the set of Meh pint glasses.
When my Kenwood portable power station arrives, that will probably be my new best item because I’ve wanted a portable power station for a long time, but couldn’t justify the usual prices for one.

I guess I have to say the Cooks Essentials 15-Bar espresso maker, which I use daily for my AM energy crank, is the best: easy, reliable espresso with great crema. The TAMO extended battery case for my iPhone is a close second because my SE is always in it and has survived many drops along with never running completely out of juice. However my big IRK score, a Ninja 4-in-1 blender, was a nice surprise and gets a LOT of use.
@aetris me too
By far the one I have used the most is my food saver vacuum packer purchased many moons ago. Close second may be the ceramic clad skillet we got which gets used very frequently as well.
@chienfou
I got curious and looked it up. Bought my first FoodSaver in June of 2016. Almost 9 years ago. Also realized that the down alternative comforter that’s on our bed was an even earlier purchase and it’s been on there ever since. Oh, and the Ooma is still hooked up!
New and unused X Box Series X in an IRK.
In an Irk or on Meh?
Best thing on Meh I’ve ever had was the fruit jerky (pineapple chocolate), dark chocolate peanut butter cups, Snickers-like candy, and Ninja home appliances.
The best Irk was a garage-sized space heater the year before the winter hit hard.
I think it was during the epic bubble wrap irks I got toys for each grandchild (this was around christmas; based on what they were I am positive they were hand picked by someone at meh). As I was struggling with cancer (had two major ones in one year with chemo into the second) and finances that were totally trashed this was an incredible gift.
Best in an Irk - a Koolhandjoe original. It is hung on my wall.
Most used purchase - several are in regular use but I have to choose the comforters. Warm and holding up to regular use. Curled up in one now.
Most expensive - Dyson vacuum. I used it a few times then it was stolen.
Odd but useful fun - fidget spinners. I never really got into them. I played with them a bit but never got hooked. I keep a few on the counter at work. They distract and amuse people of all ages while I do paperwork. I have been dubbed a genius by more than one parent
I don’t think I want to review my purchases for more thoughts. More than one thing bought with a plan in mind and it fell through. Stuff sitting staring at me to get moving and do something with me.
I bought the Cat Loathing shirt 7 years ago. My wife eventually wanted it as a lazy-day shirt and still looks amazing in it.
Vaccum out of a fuko bag. 5 years later still going strong.
