grab-bag
Random selection container
A grab-bag is a container filled with small items where you reach in and take one without seeing what you're getting—common at fairs and parties.
Figuratively, a grab-bag is any miscellaneous assortment: The album is a grab-bag of styles.
The implication is randomness or variety without coherent organization.
