| | | "Wundertüte" is there a English translation?
Hello
I am searching for a german-english translation for "Wundertüte" the Lion gave me only:
showbag, in the forum i found
grab bag
lucky bag
a bagful of goodies
surprise bag
lucky dip , = but "Grabbelsack" it is not a "Wundertüte"
Do any words with marvel or wonder exist ?
Thank you for your ideas, have an enchanting christmas.

Hi Tom, as kids we always called them lucky bags.

One translation comes up as 'Fun Bags'. The images are not suitable for this forum.   | | The following 2 users would like to thank Deep Purple for this useful post: | |

Reading the wikipedia entry for Wundertüte, I would go with grab bag (American English).
If it was something given at a party, it would be a goody bag.

Hmm, if it's like the ones I see in Kiosks, with old comic issues inside for a discounted price, I'd probably call them a mystery bag ...

Those things are still available ... can't recall where, but saw one in a shop recently, almost bought it. Having my children there was the only thing stopping me ... |

Goody bag.
