Are you the type of person that likes surprises?

Then you’re probably the type of person that would like the SomethingStore, a website that sends you “something, an item selected randomly among many things from our inventory, for $10 (free shipping) and you will find out what your something is when you receive it”.

What could this something be?

Yours may be a cool gadget, rare book, table game, handmade necklace, reverse clock, box of gourmet chocolates, set of shiny shower curtains, popular video game, big-box retailer gift card, the latest version of a software, a set of kitchen knives, a pair of designer jeans, garden tool, kitchen appliance, unique home decor item, electronic equipment, magazine subscription, office supply item, or…

Your something will most likely be brand new, though it may also be refurbished or antique.

So SomethingStore can send you anything?

Well, besides “items or services that are illegal to trade in United States”, yes!

Sound good?

Then discover your something is today.

MiniCamino

If you’re trying to get people to pay attention to your car, nothing does it quite like chopping the back half off of a Mini and turning it into a MiniCamino.

This Pioneer show car features an MS Design widebody kit in two-tone chocolate and white, a custom convertible kit, Recaros, a surfboard rack, an iPod dock, and enough Pioneer electronics to blow your neighbor’s ears out.

Richart - Burlwood Chocolate Vault If you love chocolate more than life itself, then perhaps you should check out the Burlwood Chocolate Vault from Richart.

Featuring seven drawers (112 pieces) of the company’s finest chocolates, this hand-crafted vault has temperature and humidity gauges that ensure you’re enjoying your chocolate from the optimum environment.

This thing does cost a hefty $825, but I guess nobody ever said luxury was supposed to be cheap…

Mii Chocolates

Be nice to your nerd with a set of Chocolate Miis.

Available in either white or dark chocolate, the Paul Pape Designs Mii Chocolates are available as either boy/girl, boy/boy, or girl/girl, and come packaged in a Wii box that says “Wii belong together you and Mii” on the front.

Does a gamer’s Valentine’s Day get any better than that?

…Jeep wants you to lick ’till you’re sick?

Sweetest Day Jeep

This seems like a silly idea: To celebrate Sweetest Day (Thursday, October 18), seven contestants will “lick their way through one of seven chocolate-covered Jeep vehicles”. The first two to finish will then race to candy filled Jeep Liberty’s in search of the keys to a brand new Jeep. (And heartburn)

That idea seems like a bit much to me.

Would you lick the chocolate off of the body of a Jeep for a chance to drive away in it, or is this stomach-turning task too much to ask?

NOKA

If anyone actually took the time to work out a price to weight ratio, I’m sure more than a few customers would be shocked to find out that they just shelled out approximately $2,080 per pound for a few pieces of high priced chocolate. Dallas Food took an extremely thorough look at NOKA Chocolates, a company that is charging just that for some of their exclusive chocolates. Though the company is only four years old, they are now the most expensive chocolates you can buy, and the report takes a look to see if the prices can possible be justified. Short answer: No. But read through for a great look inside the chocolate industry.
