I personally like everything but the cards. Not my thing at all, but I love think there is enough value in the rest of the box that I don’t really care. And for people telling others to stop complaining… the complaining is actually helpful to the company. As someone who has worked in marketing for decades you monitor things like this and it helps make future boxes better. If an overwhelming amount of people do not like the cards they know things like that might not work in future boxes. If a lot of people don’t like most of the things that tells them something. It is equally useful to hear the things people like so make sure to post for those too.

I am a little disappointed because I had high hopes for this box. I LOVED last months box. Which I was going to sign up for but I thought that it would be better to wait until after Christmas. I am trying to pay off bills and clean out the clutter. And I just signed up for Boxycharm AND Ipsy. I waited and regret it. Loved everything in last months. Pencils and cards and a bag of Chocolate does not compare to Kendra Scott and Bite beauty. The scarf does look nice. I have earbud but they are not pink. I still look forward to getting it. It is my first one. I just don’t know when. Will there be a tracking number?

This was my first box, I have to say, while not overly wowed, I did like it and will order another one using a code. I will gift the scarf to my sister mainly because I just don’t wear them. I will use everything else and have already used the nike gift card. I will most likely use the Urban Remedy coupon, but I eat that sort of thing, so I liked the brownie. I wish the chocolate was Dark, but I was impressed with the size of the bag. Everything else for me is just kinda meh, I will use it I am sure, but nothing spectacular.
Now waiting on an email back from Popsugar about my coupon code item.

I just got my box – I’m okay with it – All the products are usable – The value is great – The scarf is very soft and light, I really like it, yet I do not grey, therefor it is up for swap. The headphones look fine, and can be regifted. If I would use headphones I would keep them. The brownie was okay, the chocolate where good. The cards: bla, I wish they did not have people and faces on them, they are also up for swap. The nike card was nice. – I like this popsugar enough to keep my sub, yet not enough to buy 1 more box.

I just got my box! I am totally in love with the scarf, I wasn’t expecting it to be so big and super soft! ORIBE is my hair brand so I was thrilled to get the hairspray. And who doesn’t love chocolate??? I was pleasantly surprised in how much I loved the card set (Made in the USA!) and the pencil-sharpener- set! So cute! the brownie thing was more of an odwalla taste and proves to me to go big or don’t bother. Little disappointed in the flavor! The NIKE gift code was a nice surprise, I wasn’t expecting that at all. The earbuds will definitely come in handy and I hate buying them because I know they will eventually just break. I bought this box just for the scarf and I am pleasantly surprised! I was planning to cancel until the next spoilers came out but I am going to wait until the website is finished revamping!

I just got my boxes today!
I liked the boxes all items will eventually get used. I ordered more than one box, and I received the scarfed picture which is lovely. The pencils aren’t wowing but I’ll use them, I draw so having extra pencils are nice. My ear buds were all a navy blue in color, and the nike GC is nice I just wish I could combine them.. They expire next month so I’ll prob use one and put the others on the swap site. All in all I liked this box. It had more items than the LE box- so that alone is a plus for me

After seeing some of these posts, I was a little concerned that this box may be a bit lackluster and I signed up for this box based on past boxes. I just got the box today and I am quite happy with it. The scarf is gorgeous and feels great. I do have use for all the other items as well. As a mom of an elementary school aged kid, we are always in need of pencils and I was happy to see the sharpener as well!

Now that I have the box in-hand I’m really pleased with it. The scarf is absolutely gorgeous. SO soft and the color gradient is sublime. I love the blue color of the earbuds — it’s hard to make those look stylish and sophisticated but this color achieves that. The Nike gift code is beautifully packaged. I’m neither vegan nor ‘raw’ but I’m so intrigued by that brownie. And I seem to be in the minority but I love the notecards. I just moved into a new office at work with a huge cork board on the wall that I’ll be using as an inspiration/creativity board; they’ll become part of that.

I agree with you Amy. Once I got to see the items in person this box became so much better. The scarf is just perfect!

I don’t think this box looks good at all. I only signed up to get the scarf to gift to my mom for Christmas. I’ll probably keep the headphones and hairspray, but gift everything else. Those note cards are the most hideous things I have ever seen, and I can’t imagine to whom I would send them. I will probably end up throwing them away or donating to good will. Honestly, if you don’t have kids, who uses pencils? Kind of disappointing, and I will definitely be canceling my subscription.

I used to love pencils (and office supplies in general). But I have literally hundreds of pencils in my condo so I wouldn’t be terribly excited to get more. While I don’t have a problem with the contents of the box, nothing has ever actually screamed “Must Have” to me, which is probably why I don’t subscribe.

Got my box today with the exact items shown in the pic except there are 5 pencils with a sharpener PLUS a $10 Urban Remedy gift card. The Nike gift card presentation is a cute surprise! My wish came true with my bday month getting at least one thing in blue; the earbuds. Overall, with the $30 price using the gift code I am super happy! I plan to swap that scarf for the previous blue and black one if possible. Now, I’m going to have a glass of vino and a bite of that delicious looking brownie 🙂

It’s not the super amazing box from last month, but it is CERTAINLY impressive. I’ll use every item! Also, sometimes when you get the box, its even better than in the pictures, so I REALLY have to wait to decide how I feel. In the meantime: Outlook good.

I love absolutely every item in this box. They hit it out of the park this time! Why does it take my box over a week to travel 4 hours?….. but oh well, its worth the wait.

Oh Lord,more complainers. I don’t know why I bother to read these anymore.
Doesn’t anyone keep a few pencils and pens around the house for jotting down notes or making lists? I, for one, love the idea of designer pencils. It’s an easy way to bring you a quick smile during an ordinarily normal task. Love the scarf. Can ALWAYS use another of earbuds. And Chocolate. Seriously? What’s not to love? It’s gift box. If you’re compelled to the point of complaining on line, then perhaps you should find something else to spend your money on?

Disappointed. Aside from the scarf and hairspray, I don’t consider the other items “must have” and it seems to be less about curation and perhaps more about being an outlet for companies to promote their product.
I primarily subscribe to boxes to discover new things and brands I might not have come across on my own. Finding pedestrian drug store staples like note cards, pencils and candy isn’t what I was looking for.
I hope I get the scarf pictured. I’ve been to the Tulo website and wasn’t thrilled with many of their other designs.

I agree! There is nothing “must have” about pencils and those cards. (Who would you send one of those cards to?) I also often feel that sometimes sub boxes are taking our money to unload promotional products.

Send one of the cards to a friend you haven’t seen in a while! I would never buy one of these cards, but I will definitely use it as an excuse to send a letter to a friend back home as an alternative to just talking on Facebook or text.

Not sure about this box, I wish there was more makeup or different beauty items and the scarf sounds great but I need to see it first.

I’m so happy I’m a subscriber to this box now! I’m addicted to scarves, so that absolutely makes this box for me! I do like the other items and will most likely use everything myself. The chocolate and brownies, definitely!!!

How fast do these usually sell out, or how long are they available for? I can’t get mine ’til Thursday!

This box looks so good to me, but I’m worried after reading the chatter on MUT about a possible orange tiger striped scarf……..that would be so disappointing I love the colors of the scarf pictured.

It’s not as “orange” as I was afraid of, but I still far prefer the original spoiler scarf colors. Check out Makeuptalk’s post 266 under PopSugar September 2014 forum. Or this linkhttp://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZeLGGt8BjJk/U_gCkR6umXI/AAAAAAAAfWY/Fy_jOuhGNxw/s1600/1psmhspoiler1.jpg

I love this box. I think my favorite was the box that had the Too Faced Natural Eyes palette; however this is a very close second.
When do the boxes ship? I can’t remember. Did anyone receive a shipping notification yet?

I haven’t received a shipping notice from PopSugar, I did track in Fedex and it’s on it’s way! (Go to Fedex. com, track by reference, enter your subscription number under reference number, your zip code and country). You can find your subscription number under your account in the POPSugar site, it also will tell you when shipped but the Fedex way is a little faster for us impatient sorts:)

Give me all the Oribe!!!! The scarf is cute too, I don’t have any others like it. I’m overall pretty satisfied with this box and always love travel size hair styling products for travel and overnight trips to the in-laws. I’m getting married next spring, so I’m sure I’ll find a use for the note cards. I currently use bose earbuds, which I love, but I’m sure I’ll find a use for these…maybe leave them in my office. I’ll probably gift the pencils to my sis-in-law who’s in college…I don’t even think I have a sharpener! Unless I can use an eye pencil one:)

The scarf alone is worth it. The other items do not interest me. The headphones I like but have a ton. I guess the scarf is the only thing that is great about this box.
Reply
Brandy
The $20 gift card is great and snacks. The scarf is the best spoiler by far. The other items are blah. Oribe is a great brand but I sure don’t need anything for fine hair, that’s for sure.
Reply
Julie
I don’t think it’s for fine hair, I think they are referring to the hairspray feeling superfine on your hair, like not being sticky and globby
Jeanne
I’m excited! The scarf alone has me thrilled, but I can definitely see myself using everything else in the box! The notecards aren’t really my style, but if I’m sure I will use them. Last months box was just okay for me, but I’m thrilled with this one! Just wish my package tracker would update so I knew when to expect it.

I am coming from a different perspective of being newer to subscription boxes and having a family that can use items I don’t. I’m excited about the box and can’t wait to see it. I ordered the box for the scarf spoiler which I like better than the one in the LE box.
I don’t use headphones. My 15 year old can never have enough headphones and doesn’t have any specific for his phone. He doesn’t care about the color since it will be used in the house or in the car. Chocolates are always welcomed in my house. I will give my sister the brownie since it is made from gluten-free flour.
I like the Oribe line and it will be useful to have hairspray although I rarely use it. The pencils and notecards are a nice idea especially if there are variations.
My older son goes through 3 pairs of sneakers each sport season. 3 pairs each for cross-country, indoor track, and outdoor track. Plus his regular everyday sneakers. Hopefully Nike has something he like. Somebody in my family will use it.

I must be one of the old people on the list LOL. Pencils and pencil sharpeners are necessary tools for a first grader 🙂 . The comments did make me think about whether pencils are becoming obsolete. My teen will not touch a pencil unless he absolutely has to use it.

I am not excited about this at all. This might be my last box. This box combined with the serious fail of the fall style box has me pretty bummed out. May be time to try out fab fit fun.

I agree. I was not at all impressed with the LE box and this box does not seem that great. I am brand new to PS and sub boxes in general and just subscribed to FFF and Nina Garcia. I have one more left of PS as I did a 3-month sub and will likely cancel after Oct box. August box was okay though, not great but okay. I have high hopes for FFF and Nina Garcia box but really love the monthly box thing. We shall see how Oct PS box is I guess.

I completely agree…am so beyond bummed with popsugar right now. The LE box was a total loss for me and this box will be as well. If I wanted crappy earphones and chocolate, I’d go to Marshall’s and spend $10 for both. Hairspray, pencils, and fashion note cards? Really? Is this a throwback 80s box? I also am not a scarf wearer, but I suppose if I tie the one from the LE box and the Popsugar monthly box around each of my dogs necks, I’d have the most stylish dogs at the dog park.
Am thinking about calling popsugar to see if they can’t at least give me the 45 minutes of my life back that I will spend unboxing and subsequently listing the items for swap. Bummer.
