lucky bag

Surprise gift container

A lucky bag is a bag or package containing an assortment of small items, sold without revealing the contents—the appeal is not knowing what you'll get.

Common at fairs, festivals, and in Japanese convenience stores (where they're called fukubukuro).

The term is chiefly British; Americans more often say grab bag or mystery bag.
