Some consumer items having worth (5)

I believe the answer is:

merit

'worth' is the definition.
(I know that merit is a type of worth)

'some consumer items having' is the wordplay.
'some' says the answer is hidden in the clue (some of the parts of the word are used).
'MERIT' is hidden within 'consumer items having'.

(Other definitions for merit that I've seen before include "Excellence, desert" , "The M in OM" , "Goodness" , "Excellence, worth" , "Quality deserving reward" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
