Where are these "Special Items"?!!!

So supposedly Im supposed to be able to get a special item by visiting pokestops and getting these daily streaks when visiting them. This is NOT the case!! Ive completed the 7 day streak 3 weeks in a row and all I got was a bag full of pokeballs and other items but NOT ONE special item. Where are they? How do you get them? And why require them when I havent seen ANYBODY in my area with the new Pokémon that require this so called "special item"! This is really starting to work my nerves AND not to mention those of us who have full time jobs cant just go walking around during the day all Willy nilly to the nearest pokestop. PLEASE fix this or Ill be freeing up space by deleting this app!!!
