September 25 Fall IRK Reveal
12I thought Fed Ex was kidding when they said I had a package on the way. I had to think about what it could be since there was no way my IRK was getting here. Fed Ex just delivered it and the regret is strong with this one! I received:
1-Kind Kids Blueberry Muffin Bars - best by 8/26 (sounds yummy)
1-Golden Glow Eye Mask (probably useful)
2-South Africa Travel Adapters (will never use)
8-USB-A to Micro USB 8ft cords (I might need one not eight)
1-green/purple IRK bag (I like it!)
Did I read that someone needed cords in a previous post?

Next day delivery?! Talk about regret, that’s not meh at all! Like what ever happened to “you’ll get it eventually”?!?
@narfcake the regret was truly instant
Should I be thankful that mine is still listed as “processing “? Do you live next door to their warehouse? Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I am California
@pattyrusk1 Not quite next door but I live about 3.5 hours away from them. This is still shockingly fast.
@cbatte Absolutely fast
@cbatte

@cbatte @djslack that scene always cracks me up! We quote it pretty often but anyone that hears it has to say “maid nah. I’m from Bossier City!”

IYKYK
@pattyrusk1 It looks like they are not filling our boxes with consecutive boxes that are all alike. I appreciate that. Mine is still listed as processing too. I think I need to tell them what to “process” into it. You think?


@cbatte @pattyrusk1 - Yeah, FedEx can usually do 1 day if you are in DFW area.
@pattyrusk1 @TrickyKitty I am in the Houston area. I would have thought today would have been a little more likely. Looks FedEx had the package before the Meh-rathon was over
I got the “package shipped” email while meh-rathon was ongoing. Taking a bit longer to get to my location, but i guess i know what’s in it now.
p.s. i keep misreading that lozenge box as “throat cheese”
@cbatte @pattyrusk1 - Yeah, they probably had the boxes ready to go and just need to apply a shipping label to them. The last one had “IRK” written somewhere on it, so I’m guessing they have a stash of IRKs against a wall somewhere and toss stuff in them as they go. LOL
@pattyrusk1 @TrickyKitty I feel less special now.
@cbatte @pattyrusk1 - Hm, now I have an idea to share in the main forums, lol.
@djslack @sillyheathen Okay, I had to look up that firefly to see what that’s from. Now I want to see the movie.
Sweet! Mine will be here Tuesday! Woo Hoo!
Mine was delivered today! I live in St. Louis suburb. Not a terrible haul. I’ve had MUCH worse.
@TimW
@TimW
**) the TrackR things are 5 packs, so two 5-packs
**) 2 8-foot usb-a to micro-usb cables…very nice ones
**) throat lozenges 12 30-lozenge bags.
**) 30 eye masks
**) a green IRK bag
@TimW Id be stoked for the cough sweets. I’m dealing with a lovely cold that my youngest so lovingly shared with me.
@TimW This is very similar to mine. I didn’t get the locator tags though, and instead got a pack of Graph Paper. Gave the eye masks and graph paper to the wife, using the cables myself for my Vitas and Dualshock 4’s. I guess I’ll use the cough drops eventually. Cables are good quality, I kind of wish I got the pack of 6 instead of 2. haha.
Fastest IRK ever

I think those eye masks are in competition with trackrs for how many meh has left over. I see everyone so far has gotten some. i have at least a dozen of those boxes, if not more left, of which I can’t even give them away anymore.
@Kidsandliz do they work for you? The reviews on Amazon for same brand but slightly different product are actually pretty good.
@TimW I have never tried them as I don’t use stuff like this. My kid did, initially liked them, then decided she didn’t want more. No idea why. For postage I can send you a couple of boxes if you want.
@Kidsandliz @TimW I use these but can’t say they’re getting rid of the bags under my eyes. They are relaxing, though.
@Kidsandliz thank you! But I just got a whole box of them in my IRK.
@Kidsandliz @TimW I use mine and love them. My son even started using them.
Mine arrive today. Like @cbatte, I too live 3.5 hours from the mothership. Mine similar to @TimW and @lowlypeon.
2 8-foot USB A to Micro USB cables. This will go with the ten I already have. @mossygreen opened the floodgates when they said they could use more of these. Whisper your address and where is the end of the line? On the other hand, maybe an adapter might be a better solution.
https://www.amazon.com/Adapter-Micro-USB-Compatible-Samsung-MacBook
12 bags of Jakemans Throat and Chest Honey and Lemon Throat Lozenges. 30 lozenges in a bag. Maybe I should forgo my annual flu shot, get sick, and use these up.
1 box of 30 eye masks to go along with my other nine boxes. I use these but unloaded a box of 20 masks on a friend only to have them replaced by this box of 30.
Urban Expressions Credit Card Holder, Canary MSRP $20.00 instead of TrackRs @TimW and @lowlypeon got. Will gift to a friend’s daughter. Last time I got a Kelly green one.
Green and purple IRK bag.
Used my stores.com cash to bring it down to $5. Individual items are meh but with adapters, everything will be used. Thank you meh.
@rcwbbb I got the same irk except for the credit card holder I got rekonect graph paper. It will go great with the rekonect notebook I got in the last irk.
The cough drops expire in january 2028. I wonder if the food pantry will accept them. I can’t stand menthol cough drops.
@ironcheftoni That’s a win for you on the fillers for the rekonect. Meh’s sister sites used to sell them. I got three covers from past IRKs but no fillers.
@rcwbbb now if I can just figure out where I put it. I haven’t told the house gremlins to to give it up yet though.
@ironcheftoni
Let me know if the gremlins won’t let go. I can let one of mine go. I have red ones and I think the other is blue.
@rcwbbb. Thank tiy for the offer! They eventually give things up after they have has their fun. I hope I find it because it’s purple.
@rcwbbb I GOT the exact same haul
down the the color yellow on the “MSRP $20.00” Urban Expressions Credit Card Holder
hmmm
@communist Or another way of putting it, twins separated at birth.
Me wanting my damn money back for this Fuku is like a crackhead wanting his $5 back for the nickel rock that didn’t send him into space. This fuku is going to send me to tears. That’s where the eye masks will finally come in handy
Got the same thangs as @rcwbbb
@Junior305 this is actually a pretty good IRK. I’ve received spare parts for some device in an IRK in the past.
@Junior305 @TimW I mean it’s a far cry from the old school ones. But it’s been 2 decades since woot so.
I do think it’s a little less fun when everyone gets the same stuff but how else are you gonna do it at scale.
They need a discount store going out of business and randomly put things in boxes.
Buying an estate sales entire inventory and randomly putting it in boxes and shipping would be interesting lol not a meh thing though
Arrived a day early!

Similar to many but got a pack of the refillable notebook pages.
/giphy Nearly same!

@fjp999 Ditto!
@fjp999 I think this might be exactly the same set I got.
Ditto…minus the kind bars which is fine!
Got mine today, too. Big box of Lozenges, eye masks, travel adapter, MicroUSB cable, and bag. Very Meh, much IRK.
Let me take a wild guess what is going to be in mine-throat lozenges, eye masks and cables?
@Felton10 Anyone taking bets on this one? Guessing the fourth item is going to be the tough part.
@Felton10 @rcwbbb that was exactly what I got! 2x micro usb, 2x eye masks, 1x lozenges (and an IRK bag in a pear tree)
My regret is instant and also INVISIBLE! FedEx says delivery happened at 1:52 pm today in front of a blue door with a clean entryway and a black metal bench. My door is purple. With unswept leaves all around
. Hopefully it will materialize when whichever neighbors get home; Karma and all that 



@llangley Oh no! Purple door, though - I like that. One time my Irk got delivered 3 doors down; I went & retrieved it I shouldn’t have. It was my worst Irk ever (broken pedal exercise thing.)
@Kyeh lol I’m not too worried given the IRK reveals so far
I thought it might show up after whichever neighbor got home but nothing yet. I let Customer Service know; they sent me the link to the tracking detail showing the delivery to a blue door
. It’s fine, I know it’ll work out eventually 



@llangley
!
@Kyeh @llangley
/showme a Meh IRK bag being delivered to the rock band 3 Doors Down who live behind a purple door
@TimW Here’s the image you requested for “a Meh IRK bag being delivered to the rock band 3 Doors Down who live behind a purple door”
@mediocrebot I’m not sure how that door is supposed to work, but other than that…not bad.
@llangley Well at least it sounds like where it was delivered is distinctive enough you can maybe find the house driving the neighborhood.
@mediocrebot @TimW Great ask! Love that doormat
. And mehirk.com 
@Kidsandliz if it wasn’t an IRK mehbe I would
/giphy addicting-measured-addition

Same as everyone, but instead of lozenges (might have used), got some oddly textured Meh…toilet paper? I think?
If I do a Mehtizen exchange, that will go in the box.

This isn’t too bad an IRK for 10 bucks. The bodysuit will likely fit (sadly). The sunscreen is worth at least $5. The wireless earbuds $8. The colorful 8ft charging cable is at least $4-$5. The optic white pen would be worth $20 if it didn’t expire six months ago. I also got two soft containers of paw wipes (not pictured), which I appreciate as a dog owner. Not a super regrettable IRK, especially since it came so fast.
[1]:
@Shoebox23 Might want to test the earbuds… a whole lot have been earduds.
(although you may be able to combine a couple sets into one working pair)
@Shoebox23 You win the prize for the best IRK. USB cable is USB-C not the micro we’re all getting. And the Horsepower brushes look like a winner.
All you need is the Horsepower Waterproof Power Scrubber Deluxe on SideDeal.
@Shoebox23 The optic white pen is probably still safe to use & might still be effective, but the sunscreen expiration date should be taken seriously. You can still use it for lotion but it won’t protect your skin anymore.
@Kyeh @Shoebox23 or…or…go ahead and use the sunscreen and play Sunburn Russian Roulette! You might get a sunburn…but you might not get a sunburn.
Got a box of throat lozenges with an expiration of 1/2026, US travel adapter, micro USB cable, green IRK bag, and under-eye patches.
@kyanostiger Exact same thing.
Now we all know why these were only $10 this time!! Must be the meh bigwigs felt bad about past sales at $30 (plus gimmicks) and maybe their heart grew 3 sizes (like the Grinch) and they had some pity on us.
/showme a meh corporate bigwig in the style of the Grinch who stole Christmas with a wry smile on his face as he considers the kind gesture of a low-cost IRK he gladly sold to all the mehsters in meh-ville.
@MrGoodGuy Here’s the image you requested for “a meh corporate bigwig in the style of the Grinch who stole Christmas with a wry smile on his fac…”
@mediocrebot Perfect!
Yup. I got the same basic package as most others, expired cough lozenges, some key trackers, eye patches, etc.
@widijaz they’re not expired…they’re vintage.
@TimW @widijaz When they are old enough to be antique you can probably sell them to someone who uses slingshots. They likely would be perfect for that use.
While my minimalist IRK wasn’t as regrettable as usual, the only thing I can really use is the charging cable. I’ll give away the rest. At least I didn’t get face masks. Here’s what I got:
@heartny nice! Please let me know if the coffee is good
I am driving home after receiving my delivery notice, and after looking through these photos, I kind of know what cough cough to expect.
Well, we know why these were only $10 this time around…

1 box expired 01/2026 cough drops
1 box expired 03/2025 eye masks
2 obsolete micro USB cables
1 fake leather card wallet
1 meh bag
@medz Did meh slip some catnip into that bag??
@medz I need to borrow your cat to shred my crap, also!
@lonocat @medz One of my cats loves meh bags and chews on them and plays with them…

@MrGoodGuy 53R10U5LY!
Got same IRK. One micro USB, one five pack trackr.pixel, one expired eye masks, one expires case of throat & chest lozenges, one IRK bag.

Same:
Green Meh bag,
USB-A to micro USB cable, don’t think I have a use for this
Pogo travel adapter USA, useful to plug in foreign appliances at home
Eye patches, know a woman who likes these and says that they are about $10 a box at Wallyworld.
Case of past prime throat and chest lozenges
Thanks Sidedeal
I think I’ve lost all hope
@Star2236
Thank you Side Deal & Meh!
Micro USB, HealthOmeter body fat scale (what are you trying to say, meh?) Popup card maker kit, package of pet wipes (yay!) gold eye patches and an IRK bag!
NO LOZENGES!
THANKS MEH!

/giphy no regerts
Lozenges and eye masks are out for delivery! Well I at least hope that’s what it is.

@sillyheathen for postage I can deliver you about 8 -10 boxes of eye masks.
The regret was missing. I’m too busy getting a calf and foot massage to take pics of the rest.

There is a bag, a micro usb cable, pet wipes and a boxed unknown item. I’ll discover that after my massage is done. Too bad this won’t work on back, neck and shoulders, but it does feel nice.
@remo28 you got that in your IRK?!?! We found the unicorn who got the good expensive item!!!
@TimW yup. I was worried it was broken since the outside of the box had had a label cut off like it was a return. But it works and looks unused. The small box I hadn’t opened was some weird craft card pop up house thing. Far better than the last irks I’ve gotten.
@remo28
Very nice, you got a winner
Moving this over from the other thread: I think I lucked out, maybe because this is my first IRK and they’re trying to get me hooked!
@xenarthra My first IRK was better too. That’s how they hook you.
Got mine today:
1 blue Irk bag
1 usb cable (I could use this)
1 Wipe your paws wipes. (Guess I can give this to my sister since my cats don’t need their paws wiped.)
1 Colgate Optic White Overnight Whitening Pen
6 Energy Savings bulbs (I am out of light bulbs anyways)
1 Muk Luks boots in women’s 6.5 (Way too small for my feet. Guess I can give these away too).
8-foot usb-a to micro-usb cable
throat lozenges 12 30-lozenge bags, expired but edible
box of gold eye masks
south africa travel adapter (to go with my few swiss ones)
a green IRK bag
It seems like these were pretty standard fare, already packaged up and ready to go
@caffeineguy So you’re saying you need some lozenges with your Telsa coffee drop tomorrow?
I bought one irk and they sent me two boxes
Twice as much junk to throw out
@nukenavy
I take it back. They sent me a robotic vacuum cleaner. I might actually be keeping that one.
@nukenavy
two vacuums
@nukenavy If space is a vacuum, who empties the bag?
@nukenavy they sent me a tacklife robo vac a couple years ago that had been delisted from amazon/I didn’t deal with for a while. It works fine though.
I did have to side load the app… So. Know what you’re doing/potential security issues etc if it’s one of those situations.
I run it a few times a week. The mapping vs the older dumb ones is key. I have to pick up stuff cause cats but it finds lots of hair on hardwood/tile.
Not upset.
Throat lozenges - actually using them now with this bloody cold
Gold eye masks x 2 - both girls are stoked corded braided cord charger cables x2
Green bag
Mine is so regrettable, I am sad I didn’t even get the very usable throat lozenges
8x micro USB cables
2x power travel adapter for South America
2x under eye masks
1x green IRK bag
Basically same as everyone else. Eye masks. Lozenges. 2 micro USB cables which. I still have some old stuff that uses them so a good one is fine. If they are good. A small graph paper notebook? Weird but maybe handy for some projects. Green bag.
I think that was it
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@Skipbidder Not sure where all my text disappeared to. I’m old. Anyway, here’s what I tried to type: “Better than expected, I guess. Light blue IRK bag. Two packages of paw wipes. My cats don’t leave the house. A USB cable. A fine backup if my other 42 cables stop working. Off brand apple tracker tags. That brown box has some sort of kit in it. Pop-up House? Looks like the sort of disappointing thing you might give a kid who wanted to go play outside but it’s pouring rain. And finally, a really beat up Cuisinart box. I’ve turned the best side to the camera. Surely that’s not got a Cuisinart in it. Huh. It actually does. A frozen yogurt/ sorbet/ice cream maker. I don’t actually need it. But I think that one will actually find a home. If it works. The packing inside the box actually seems intact.”
@Skipbidder That cuisinart ice cream maker is actually a really good one!!
I received 2 emails from FedEx that my Side deal package shipped. I figured one label got messed up so they had to print another…nope. I always wanted that IRK of 1,000 portable chargers or 10 e-bikes…also nope.
-I received a severely damaged box but the Chefman Exac Temp Oven & Air Fryer seems to be new and only one ding that I have found.
LOVE IT!!! 
-Pet wipes
-Micro USB cable
-Pop-up card set
And…in the 2nd package…
100 burgundy IRK bags
Thanks Meh and Sidedeal!


@cbilyak I got the pet wipes also today-must have been shipped around the same time. You are set for life with IRK bags which definitely come in handy.
@cbilyak Wow- the motherlode of IRK bags! That’s hilarious.
@cbilyak @Pony Absolutely hilarious and after a brief tinge of envy I realized I was glad it wasn’t me.
Meh’s going to get some increased visibility in some community…
@brainmist @cbilyak @Pony
That’s awesome you got a box of a 100 bags. My family would be stoked.
OWLS! TOWELS! JOWLS! AWESOME!
@cbilyak nice! You win!
@cbilyak Fantastic!

I am also jealous, would be super jealous if they were in green! @cbilyak
Also posted to the other thread about this:
My feeling that the IRKs send later were better rather than the mass mailing of the prepackaged ones at the beginning proved to be true. Got among other things a therapy mask selling for around $ 100 online.
I, like several others, received two boxes. One was the beat to crap original box for the Vornado Qube50 that was in it along with a couple of micro usb cables, a power adapter for South America and an IRK bag. The box was partially open, but all the parts for the air filter were still in there. The second box had a 5-pack of Trackr Pixels, a purple magnetic notebook with graph paper, more gold under eye masks, a package of pet wipes, and a set of “Gin o’clock” spices that my husband will be very happy to get. Oh, and another IRK bag.
The air filter is in good working order with no visible damage. Since it’s intended for a small room, I’ll put it in one of our guest rooms for when we have company staying. Thank you, Meh!
Well, I’m stupid. The second IRK box was actually for my husband, who doesn’t usually do the Meh thing. I didn’t notice the label had his name since it came with a bunch of stuff I ordered during the Meh-rathon and my IRK, so I just opened them all. Oops.
Got the same as others. Yet more trackrs, eye masks, irk bag and graph paper for those notebooks. Last irk I got the notebook with lined paper…
And then the weird thing I know nothing about as I don’t drink. Some gin mix thing. Apparently you can use most of those for cooking too. They are in glass tubes bottle things.
If someone wants it, it is yours for postage. I’ll send it Pirate Shipping (goes UPS) but it takes me two trips and so I might be slower mailing.
Those are best used by 11/2025 however google states that since they are in glass, airtight bottles this doesn’t apply and the only thing that happens is they slowly lose some of their flavor but much slower in glass air tight bottles.
Thanks??? meh
@Kidsandliz Lucky You! more trackr’s.
@Kidsandliz I think the other half ordered that same kit a while back, but as far as I know, the tubes are still sealed.
@werehatrack I just gave mine away today to someone who is going to take them to work and put them out in the staff room.
You win some, you lose some IRKs… And this appears to be losing late in the game… If you allow game analogies:
The graph paper and gin o’clock are both interesting.
Received cables, paw wipers, and trackers in past irks.
Does anyone have an app for the trackr… Last time I remember, they were paperweights minus for reusing the battery.
@wronkerville It seems to me there was some after market app as the original one that came with it is defunct. And maybe it was android only? I can’t remember anymore.
@wronkerville that gin kit as pink peppercorns which are proper ace!
@wronkerville a another trackr’s, Lucky You.
@wronkerville I found the Swiftfinder app worked with these trackers
– rekonect notebook with graph paper
– trackr pixel 5 pack
– 2 x truman’s facial cleaner 50ml
– wipe your paws pet wipes
– gin o’clock botanicals to
infuse gin with
– horsepower 5 pc brush refill pack
– light blue cable knit slouchy beanie
– maroon and blue irk bag
Delivery notification image showed 2 boxes which surprised me as I was not expecting anything else today. Turns out I seem to have received a double!
First box: Irk Bag, 2 USB charging wires, pet wipes, a crafty build a house that looks like a gingerbread house (but isn’t) and a Shiatsu Neck, Back and Shoulder massager. Massager box seals were broken but it works and appears new.
Second box had printing on the outside of it, was hopeful it was a good sign. Opened up and found other items inside the box as well. Another USB charging cable, Irk Bag, a women’s shape wear body suit and the actual item printed on the box, a Sharper Image HEPA air filter which was brand new. The box looked like it was sliced open a bit in the warehouse, with packing tape placed over the damaged box and IRK written in magic marker on the side.
The timing for the air filter was perfect as was just starting to think I needed to buy one for a room before the fall allergies hit. Already set it up, hopefully will help my terrible allergies this time of year. Thanks Meh!
@Raider So basically what you got was two $5 irks. Not sure how they made that mistake and it also sounds like you got one of the few sort of winner irks too which was double luck.
@sfwineguy I got one of those DP kits, too. My less-than-enthusiastic comments about it are in a reply to my post, which is just below.
Okay, I said I missed ordering a $10 IRK during the 'thon. And I did. But well over 24 hours later, I noticed that the SideDeal page for the IRK didn’t say “Too Late” yet, so to test whether it was still working, I ordered one. Yep, it was still live, which was a significant error as far as I could tell. I flagged it for the admins, and told them that they could feel free to cancel that purchase if they wanted to. Apparently they didn’t, and today it showed up. Lime green IRK bag, a pack of dog wipes, two boxes of USB A-to-micro cables, and a Cuisinart coffeemaker in a badly mangled box. I don’t drink coffee, but maybe the stepdaughter can use it.
I forgot to mention one item; the label says “DP POP UP CARD KIT”, and what’s inside appears to be the components of a you-have-to-assemble-it rubber-band-driven “pop up house”. The decorations included fall into a category I call “Cracker Barrel Adjacent”, the whole thing seems rather pointless, and I can readily believe these were a commercial splat. I might try putting the bare bones together to see if it’s actually jump-scare-possible, in which case I know precisely where it’s going to go.
And the coffeemaker went to the stepD as expected; she says she can pass her old one along to someone she knows who can use it.
@mehla They’re STILL showing up?!? Amazing
!
@Kyeh @mehla Apparently, the trans-universal rift in the back of the warehouse keeps spitting a few out from time to time.
@Kyeh @mehla @werehatrack /showme the semi- trailer accident in the meh warehouse that exploded and redistributed thousands of TrackR pixels amongst the shelves
Got mine yesterday. Got a little bit f what everybody else got and a light up bird cage. No idea what I’m gonna do with the bird cage. If I had a giant tree in my yard it look cool there in the summer but no trees really.
1
@Star2236 I got the bird cage too! Was surprised the lights worked. And that is fairly heavy.
I thought “This is the random shit I am here for!” and was actually pretty happy for not scoring anything actually useful.
@KNmeh7
It’s cute for spring summer time. I actually do have a small tree in my yard that it will go perfectly in if I want to do that with it or put in my house as a decoration. I like stuff like that.
IRK Reveal
I have not tried for a IRK since the were $5
1 Maroon color IRK bag
1 Slimming & Shaping Bodysuit Female size Large
1 JVC Gumy Bluetooth Ear buds
1 Fast charging cable
1 Sharper Image, Purify 5 Air Purifier, main thing in the badly mangled box
5 teal color pads. I guess you are to brush something
Anyone have a clue what they are.
@mycya4me If it works, the air purifier could be useful next to Thor’s litter box. I have a small air purifier near Poppy’s and it helps with the dust from the litter & maybe with the smell.
@Kyeh Yes it was new in the Box. one corner was bashed in. But the backing protect it.
It’s useful… But I have a very bad sense of smell. It must be a strong oder or smell or will not smell it!
Yes when I ma changing Thor’s litter box, some times I can smell the offering left behind. But then I quickly flush the toilet & it is gone!
I still would like to know what the little pads are!
@mycya4me they are face scrubbers for your face, for deeper cleaning
@missdorkgirl @mycya4me Yes, google showed me this kind of thing when I searched the image. Maybe you could use it to comb Thor’s face fur, if you don’t want to scrub your face with it.
@missdorkgirl Thank You!
Great user name! I tell people that I am a Geeky Nerd person…
Plus when some one asks: “How are you”…( you know that they are expecting “Fine, How are you”
But hey I am here… I highly doubt anyone here is “Normal” That is a Very good thing!
I just tell people: I am “Wild & Crazy! Is there any other way to be… Arn’t you”
You should see the expression on their face when they realized that I did not return a standard answer… Some do agree with me that they are too!
@Kyeh Thank You,
I have a " Zoom Groom" it is in a shape of a cat, It has 1/2 inch soft rubber fingers. Thor LOVES it! I think I got it at “Pet Smart”
@Kyeh @mycya4me I have one of those cat things too. Also works to get cat hair off of fleece blankets and my clothes. Mine is purple. I had 2 but it appears one has walked.
@missdorkgirl @mycya4me
I actually use those on my face. I got them in my irk and figured why the hell not. They’re really soft.
@Kidsandliz @mycya4me Those sound like a good idea! I have a rubber brush that both Toby & Poppy have loved, but a glove would be easier to use.
Oh, wait - I saw “fingers” & assumed “glove” but I read your comment again & I guess it’s a brush?
@Kidsandliz @mycya4me Hah, I see they do make gloves like that but these look like part of some sort of S&M outfit.

@Kidsandliz @Kyeh Yep mine is also purple. I also printed a triangle that has different size teeth. (I do have a 3d printer. Thor Loves it!
@Kidsandliz @Kyeh I don’t want a pair!
@Kidsandliz @Kyeh Yes a brush
https://www.vetnpetdirect.com.au/products/kongzgc
@missdorkgirl @Star2236 I have a sponge like one that removes the dead skin in the shower. I love it. I do use it all over my body. Especially face, Feet, knees & elbows!
@Kidsandliz @mycya4me Okay, mine is similar
@missdorkgirl @mycya4me In some irk I got about a half dozen of these. I had no clue what they were as they were tiny and figured they were some weird spare part for something (they were just in a tiny plastic bag) so threw them out. Oops.
@Kidsandliz @missdorkgirl Yes, But that is not me… I would save it for some Mystery/ IRK type gift I need to give. they don’t take up much space.
@cbatte I didn’t mention what they sent me in the last IRK that really irked me. I got about 15 trackers that didn’t work and 12 micro USB cables. So when this one arrived and I had 5 trackers and one micro USB cable, I was thinking they were reading my mind. But you got all the micro USB cables and apparently all of us got a very similar irk.
@Fuzzalini
Given how many trackers they’ve sent out over the years it’s a good thing they are small. Meh would have had to get a second warehouse otherwise…
FINALLY got my IRK in. It’s about as standard as most of yours:
Maroon IRK Bag
Gin Infusions
Micro USB Cord
Pet Wipes
Rekonect Graph Paper
Eye Masks
TrackR 5-pack
These are all pretty useful for me! I did some research and for those of you with the trackers, the Swiftfinder app worked with them no problem!! Gonna connect a couple to my TV remotes and test the GPS/location tracking on my outside cat.
I was incredibly lucky. A rum loving guest from far away was present when I opened the IRK. She was quite pleased with the Gin o’clock. My son is going to try the graph paper and binder.
The graph paper sticks to my magnetic tool holders. I will use a few of them as tool labels. For example: chisels to sharpen, sharp chisels.
We use wipes for cleaning up water based paint oopsies. So our cats are safe from the wipes. They hate stuff like that. My niece, the professor, was also visiting and took the eye masks. She knows someone that likes that sort of thing.


As predicted…
(Still not home to check on mine yet…)
I took the photo the day it arrived and then neglected to do anything with it.
Thanks, Meh!
Well, I finally got back from Vermont & Canada. Trip was amazing.

When I came home I had a stack of boxes to wade through, one of which contained my IRK. Ripped it open and lo and behold, it wasn’t half bad.
Light blue knit winter cap
Attractive Belle slimming silhouette bodysuit (XL)
Set of extra brushes for a Horsepower cordless scrubber (alas, it doesn’t fit my similar cordless brush)
Braided 8 foot long USB-A to USB-C cable.
Colgate Optic White overnight whitening pen
Gin o’clock kit. May have to try some of those out.
Notebook with magnetic pages. (Kind of cool)
and a burgundy IRK tote.
Hat and whitening pen will go to the Mrs.
After 49 years I know better than to give her the bodysuit!! (JK, it would be way too big for her)
I’ll probably make some small batch gins to try out the kit, otherwise I’ll grind the spices and use them in cooking. Pretty sure I’ll find a use for the test tubes.
Hopefully the cable is capable of powering a laptop.
Notebook will probably be used (as mentioned above) for attaching notes to metallic surfaces. (Brilliant, by the way)
Tote bag will live in the back of my car for those times when I forget to bring my other reusables, or get tucked into a future exchange.
Overall, I’m happy with my haul!
