White Willow Subscription Box Review – June 2016

Agreed, very disappointed with this months box. Does not seem luxe at all.

Hey are you sure the US prices are correct. I had emailed them and from what I saw the box was 32 or something close and shipping was aleast 10 to ship. Please can someone tell who subscribes.Thank you.

I loves this subscription to begin with. However it has gone gradually down hill. The products do not feel Luxembourg at all. This last box was so cheap, didn’t like any of the items. If I hadn’t paid in advance I’d definitely be cancelling. The customer service however for this company is amazing, sadly that’s not enough to keep me with a company thats sending out sub par boxes.

That washcloth is way overpriced for what it actually is. I know they calculate some value in the cute ‘piece of cake’ aspect; but, really, it is just a washcloth (to me). It doesn’t look particularly plush so…..

I really laughed at the comment “don’t really care about this looking like a cake.” It’s like the socks that come rolled up like sushi that you can’t ever refold that way… what’s the point? Though, I’d love a [quality] socks ‘n towels subscription box!

I have the Define bottle from popsugar, and at first I hated it because I found it heavy and awkward to tote around, although I liked the strap and the design. Then I realized a few things that redeemed it – you can reduce the size to half when halfway thru- flip it over and remove the fruit layer and divider then put the bottom back and it’s 1/2 the weight and size to carry! You can add fruit at any time (or eat it) by turning it upside down. When using fruit, the filter works very well and creates a mixing action as liquid flows thru. It’s a lot easier to wash because all the pieces come apart – just be careful to replace and tighten all parts and gaskets to avoid leaks. Now I really like it!

I was super-excited for White Willow when I saw their very first box, and signed up right away. They were sold out by the time they got my registration, so I had to begin with the second box, which was superbly curated and had luxe-feeling products. I was happy until this month’s and last month’s boxes, neither of which felt quality or luxe to me, so I have canceled my subscription. I do have one more box coming, however, because their customer service is excellent and kept track that I didn’t receive the first box although I paid for it, and thus have one box owed to me. I would have loved to stay with the White Willow, but with shipping (mine always costs more than what is listed here) and fees, it becomes almost a $40 box, and the last two months have had products that I would have been able to buy cheaply at Ross or Target.

That said, the Define Bottle ended up being very useful as a bottle to mix protein drinks and smoothies– the strainer in the bottle works to mix them very well when the liquid passes through the strainer.

Lastly, a note about the syrup– I would not consider it “real” maple syrup, as it is mostly comprised of several types of sugar with maple syrup only being listed as an ingredient in the middle of the ingredient list.

I hope that White Willow gets back to the quality curation that it started out as so that I can resubscribe.

Initially I was super excited about this box. It was a different popsugar to me, more interesting more unique items, more unique brands. For Canadians this box is great because it ships there and is based there, so I’m guessing shipping would be quicker/cheaper. As a USA subscriber, I would need the total cost of the box which would include shipping to be cheaper then popsugar to subscribe. The brands/products would have to wow me. Its not a bad box, yet for over $40ish now with shipping + the extra $2 ish the credit card charges for international transactions. This box is not worth it to me.

I’m honestly not thrilled with this month’s box either. I just got charged for next month and i need to decide if I’m keeping this or not. Beautiful packaging but it’s alot of money to waste if I don’t like most of the items.

I would have preferred a real piece of cake but it was clever that the towel was designed to fold like a piece of cake.

It kinda was cheap, I am paying to have it shipped to Utah. that shipping is a HUGE cost on top of the Box. and this box was Blah. I was in the market for a define bottle so that part was good, everything else I felt like I was getting ripped off. Popsugar and Peaches + I am getting the Popsugar summer box so I think they will make up for it this month.

if i ordered now, would i receive this box or July? Thank you!

the box felt a little phoned-in. But their customer service is still awesome.
My bottle was scratched in transit – not unusable or anything, but disappointing none the less.
I wrote in asking that they wrap scratchable things in bubble wrap, and they responded same day, apologizing and offering an extra item in the next box. We’ll see if they follow through, but I was impressed with the response.

Agreed, not a great month for White Willow.
