Serendipity September 2016 Box FULL SPOILERS!

I was slightly disappointed when I opened the box and saw how little was in there but then I realized how greedy I was getting for a $10 box – I’ll use everyone and I definitely needed more spices in my VERY lackluster collection!

I am extremely happy I bought the year long subscription!

I love this box! The value is incredible. I can’t wait to use the spices. I also subscribe to rawspicebar and it makes such a difference to have high quality spices. The spices in this box would make a great gift along with the enclosed recipes for those who don’t cook or bake. The jar and socks are cute, too.

I am oddly annoyed by the Handwrytten card. I love writing cards to friends and family. My handwriting is very distinct too; if I’m close enough to you to send you a card, you would recognize my handwriting in a heartbeat. I don’t understand how ordering a card online could really save you that much more time. Get online, go to the website, pick a card, pick a handwriting style, type your message, pay for your order. I suppose if you don’t have a card on hand it saves you a trip to the store….I guess I feel like it’s a cop out – for Serendipity, for even including it in the box, and for anyone who uses the service instead of jotting a quick personal note. Oh well. I do love the spice jar! And I’m sure this will fit right in with the Oct LLB box.

I recieved my box on Thursday and I am in MA. I get a text saying its shipped and the day it’s gonna be delivered and when it is here and its from LLB, not from Post Office. I also get emails from them too. I think you can sign up for that on there site.
Anyway it’s wasn’t one of my favorite boxes but I guess I will use almost everything so that is cool with me. The handwritten note was cute but I most likely won’t ended up sended a card to someone but who knows. I love the mix of things. My boyfriend and I open everyone of the boxes together because there normally is some sort of treat inside. Anyhow always love the thought and ? that LLB putting into these boxes and its breaks my heart that I have to wait 2 months again…..

I like it! The spices smell great and the colder weather we’ve been having has been making me want to cook.

Has anyone NOT got a shipping notice yet? I haven’t heard anything and was wondering if it’s time to contact LLB.

Loving this box – I wear boots often here in Seattle. Also love to cook – so loving the spices too!

Not blown away with this box this month. Did like the boot socks, they will come in handy this fall/winter.. The spices and spice jar are kind of a waste, I never used the last salt I received in a Serendipity box from a few months ago. Hoping that the next box is better.

Not for me at all, but I haven’t even gotten a shipping notice so I guess I don’t care. Off to see if I paid for it though….hopefully not.

I would be open to any swaps for those of you that are not into this box, I understand that spices may not be exciting for all 🙂 I will take them, my family is rediculous, they are the people that cook and post pics of their food on instagram to outdo the other! LOL!!!

Didn’t read the spoilers or the comments, but my box is apparently stuck in FL. Hasn’t moved at all.

I love this box. I don’t sub to it, however. I need to learn how to swap. I have so many items from other boxes. I like the boot socks. I went to the sock website and they have a monthly sub. Uh oh, I think I am about to add another sub to my too long list of sub boxes.

Nice box! I agree with someone else who said this is the best inexpensive sub out there. I mean, it’s the same price as IPSY or Birchbox and to me there’s just no comparison. But I understand we all see things differently. I’m excited for the boot socks, I think it’s worth mentioning their letter says they’re for *ankle* boots; which makes sense since they’re in a warmer climate. Probably won’t use the Handwrytten code but even without that, very happy as usual.

I got my box and I’m not anymore excited about it in person. I’ll never wear boot socks, I really don’t wear boots anymore. Last winter we didn’t even have one (in Missouri) it wasn’t cold at all hardly. The spices, while nice, I don’t care for the smell of them, but I do like that they included recipe cards. I love the little spice jar though, I think it’s adorable.

I tried to avoid the spoilers but couldn’t resist…lol. Seems like a decent box to me. I will probably end up gifting the socks but the other items will be used.

I am oddly excited for this box. I love getting spices/condiments that I would never purchase on my own. I also have been wanting a pair of boot cuffs for forever! Yay!

They did include three recipes in the box, Each recipe calls for one of the spices

I just got mine today and though its not the most wildly exciting box its growing on me….I had the smoked paprika on a baked potato for lunch and its really good! I was out of paprika and cinnamon so this worked out well.
There are variations on the socks, white/ivory/taupe or mint…I got taupe! They are for ankle boots, I’m not that tall and they come up about 1/2 way

Yeah, I’m with almost everyone else. Meh… Fall is ALWAYS supposed to be the best box of the year, but this is underwhelming. Practical? Yes. Super fun? Ummmm… That being said, I DO love Serendipity and I’m not going anywhere as a customer. 🙂

I’m loving the spices and spice jar. The other two items are meh, but they will get used. I bought a 6 month sub @ $10/box so I’m happy. Considering that I only live ONE CITY away from where the Serendipity boxes ship, I’m surprised that I don’t even have my box yet. Grrrr….

I hate to say it but I’m kind of regretting buying the year-long sub. I liked May’s box but July and September were misses for me. I might like it better once I see it in person.

Meh. Has anyone else noticed that they increased the price of the annual sub? Now it breaks down to the individual price of $12.99 a box. That’s really disappointing.

Fail

I have an annual sub so this is $10 for me. I’m thrilled with this box for that price. How do they do it with shipping?! I love to cook, wear boots all fall and winter and love to write cards so I will use everything. Best cheap sub out there in my opinion!

I am almost out of smoked paprika, so I am stoked to get more-I am a chili fanatic. I figure the boot socks would be the cost of the subscription, so everything else is free and my daughter and I can share the boot socks.
