POPSUGAR Must Have x Neiman Marcus 2017 Box SPOILER #2

Got most excited for that necklace!

Umm, yeah this box is a no for me! The items are pretty, just not $250 pretty.

Wow. I love them!!!!! So glad they are part of this box of goodies.

Pretty!! I doubt I’d get much use out of them but they’d be a cool thing to have regardless. They will turn an otherwise plain tablescape festive just like that! I’ll be keeping an eye out for these in swaps.

Seeing the prices for these two spoilers makes me wonder if I’m the one out of touch with reality. $112 for placemats? I feel like I could find something similar and more affordable at Target. I don’t understand. I bought 1 PS limited edition box a few years back and I was SO disappointed with the items and the value they ascribed to them. I felt duped. I’m very hesitant to ever shell out that much money ever again.

These two spoilers are definitely not my taste, so I’m not having any trouble skipping this one.

Chan Luu stuff is so expensive for what you get. I can usually duplicate it for under $20 worth of materials. (I don’t sell anyone else’s designs, of course.)

These are super cute! Although I still don’t think either spoiler is tempting me to buy this box.

For those wanting to see a table set-up with these placemats, there is one available on the Kim Seybert website: http://kimseybert.com/spotlight-placemat/.

Neither spoiler seems worth the value assigned, and I doubt I would ever use the place mats. I think I will pass and just look at the swap boards for any later spoiler that suits my taste more.

While I don’t have $250 to shell out for this box, I might have to keep an eye out in the swaps for these place mats, as I really like them.

My wallet is safe. Phew! I always think the items in the Neiman Marcus boxes are lovely, but they don’t suit my taste/lifestyle. I suspect I’m not fancy enough for NM, lol. Can’t wait to see spoilers for the holiday special edition box.

I actually really love these spoilers and would have a very difficult time making a selection between gold and silver. I prefer the necklace and earrings in silver, but gold items will look better in my kitchen/dining area. Anyhow, the necklace and earrings are gorgeous. They are a simple, classic design that should work with most people’s style. They would look just as nice with a basic sweater as they would with a nice dress. I love the idea of the sparkly placemat for the holidays. I used to have bronze glitter placemats and they were just fun. I do feel that the $112 price tag is a bit much.

Unfortunately while I’m feeling so very tempted, I’ll continue to hold off for more spoilers. The cocktail soiree theme seemed unrealistic for a single woman living on a social worker’s salary, who rarely entertains, especially with the $250 price tag since I’m picturing all sorts of fancy barware that won’t get used. But more spoilers like this might get me to take the plunge.

I really like both spoilers, but thankfully I have no interest in shelling out $250 for the box. I do think people who have bought it will be satisfied though.

I’m so relieved neither of these spoilers are my taste. My wallet can breathe a sigh of relief!

I think these are festive, and they look nicer in the close up than the far away shot. I’m not sure how easy they would be to clean though, it says wipe with a damp cloth but I’d have to see the texture in person. I like that it’s a new item we haven’t seen recently in boxes (right?) So far I like the box, and think the theme is fitting together well.

These placemats are so beautiful! I wouldn’t use them necessarily for table setting purposes, but I can think of a bunch of other great uses for them.

At any rate, I didn’t order this box and I’m not about to spend $112 on four placemats, but perhaps I can DIY it!

Easy pass, but certainly a festive box so far! I’m sure plenty of others will love it 😍

Who has only 4 place settings for holiday dinners?! And sometimes I feel like the popsugar taste level is just too… junior. Started realizing that when we got a trucker hat … like these are the placemats my 15 year old niece would choose if her mom let her pick.

Those are stunning!!! What a cool addition to this box!

Undecided… I do need new holiday mats as my old ones were destroyed but I’m not sure that glitter would be my first choice. I’ll reserve judgement until I see them in person. For this price they should be quality home goods.

$112. For placemats. From China. 😯

Those are gorgeous, but would only be appropriate in certain settings and/or decors. Personally I have zero use for them.

I also love the earrings but not the necklace.

This is why I waited for spoilers this year. It’s looking like I’m just going to try to swap for the earrings and not buy the box.

These are pretty cool and so festive but aren’t going to make me pull out my wallet.

I like that they seem to be sticking to a cohesive theme of holiday party. Makes the box more usable/practical in a fun way (if that makes sense). AND i love these placemats!!

I am not interested in this. This was the deal breaker for this box. This does not appeal to me at all. Maybe the LE Winter will be more to my taste. I am excited to see the spoilers for that one.
