There’s a whole loot crate “culture” out there for geeks who love the mystery surprise. Usually the MSRP of the individual items, or the company would get a lot of blowback.
My guess is that this might be some test marketing in advance of the Amazon Prime LOTR series. The company may be gauging interest in RL loot.
Housewares, btw, probably means along the lines of glassware or coffee mugs. I think ‘soft’ housewares, such as bed linens would be hard to manufacture economically enough for a $50 crate.
