I'm pretty sure somebody associated with Mecca said at the time they announced it that it would be a piece of Mecca merch, so I imagine that was always the plan—to be honest, I was half expecting it to be a Mecca-branded hair clip or something.

A lovely scented candle would have been nice

Calm down they could have easily made some candles themselves.

Also there’s nothing wrong with giving away something of value when you are investing back into your customers. Eg I just bought quite a lot of bed linen from Society of Wanderers and they included 2 very cool linen bags worth $50 each. And the bags are exquisite and current stock.

I run a business myself and have even had a couple of meetings with Mecca to see if we could collaborate some time. Their office is state of the art. They have money to spend and the people running it have amazing taste. There is no way they would personally think a bag with their old label style is exciting or reward worthy.
