I think you missed the obvious writeup, Meh - 8 of them, one for each night of Hanukkah. Traditionally, you get some small gift every night - and could disappoint your child IMMENSELY as they opened the same thing night after night. I can just picture it now. By night three, they might not even open the gift. Night four, you put it in a bigger box so they thing it’s something else. But NOPE! It’s still an iPhone ring. Hahahah! Ah, Hanukkah fun.
I have one (not eight) of these and they’re not good with bigass phones like the Note8 or my previous S7. They fall over from the weight. And it’s not good if you use wireless charging. At least that’s my experience with this thingy. Just sayin’
well, would have loved to buy, but checkout is broken. doesn’t work on mobile (safari or chrome) nor on Mac desktop (chrome, safari, and firefox) – always says it can’t figure out what I want to buy…

Um, looking at the internet, the average number of children in the United States (meh’s primary market) born to a woman who does have children is right around two.
If the hypothetical average-American meh customer has two children, and then their two kids each has two children, that makes four grandkids, not eight.

Math is tough, let’s go shopping!
@bdb
Funny. I always thought it was ZERO.
Back to skool for me…
@bdb but your average LDS typical family has about 8 kids so sales in Utah and Idaho ought to go through the roof.
@bdb 2 for Mom and Dad, two for the kids, 4 for the grandkids… Tada 8 total!
