Now, on to the items!
Cheers Lacquered Tray by Fringe Studio - Value $28
I love the pastel "confetti" dots, the gold paint accents, and the whole festive vibe!
This wooden lacquered tray measures 12"L x 8.63"W x 1.5"H.
I think it would be great on a coffee table, nightstand, or to use in times of celebration:
This will be perfect on my white desk to help bring some organization and a little joy to my workspace. (And then I'll probably dump everything off of it and use it at New Years for champagne!)
Fringe Studio Free Spirit Journal - Value $16
This journal is in on-trend rose gold with embossed white lettering:
The inside lining is polka dot:
And the journal is all lined pages:
On the bottom of each page, it says, "Follow Your True North."
This journal measures 5.5"W x 8"L and has 160 pages.
And this item is sponsored by JEEP:

JEEP + POPSUGAR also included tips for making the most of your morning.
Goodie Girl Cookies in Chocolate Chunk - Value $2.95
Goodie Girl cookies were featured in a POPSUGAR box before, and they were a hit with everyone who tried them in our house!
The cookies are gluten and peanut free, too.
They are a crunchy cookie - similar to a Chips Ahoy! (But better tasting!)
Meri Meri Gold Glitter Candles - Value $7.50
I love the Meri Meri brand, and these are the cutest candles I've ever seen! Such an upgrade from the typical grocery store birthday candles I've bought in the past!
They have little flecks of gold glitter throughout:
Such classy candles!
Happy Birthday, POPSUGAR!
We had to go with the classic POPSUGAR blue for icing, right? ๐
And speaking of blue...
DOGEARED Friendship Bracelet - Value $34
This delicate bracelet is made with silk threads and a 7mm sterling silver heart.
It has a pull closure and adjusts up to 9 inches.
I love the two shades of blue - it's a lovely delicate bracelet to wear or gift.
First Aid Beauty 5 in 1 Bouncy Mask - Value $38
This is a "bouncy" gel type mask. You apply a thin layer, then let it sit for 10 minutes. It has a subtle cucumber scent, and a bit of a tingly, cooling feeling when it is on. (I have borderline sensitive skin, so I was a little worried at first about the tingly feeling, but I had no irritation when I removed the mask.)
The amazing thing for me is how my skin felt after I took the mask off. The cooling sensation continued! (You know that amazing tingly feeling from Burt's Bees lip balm? It's kind of like that for your entire face!)
My skin looked more hydrated and plumped post-mask, too, and I like that it didn't add any dewy/greasy finish. My skin was matte and primed for my nighttime serum and moisturizer.
Shoptiques Gift Card - Value $25
I think this is the best "Special Extra" POPSUGAR has ever included!
It's ready to gift on its own, but you'll probably want to keep it to shop!
This isn't like a "coupon gift card," it's a real gift card! First, create a Shoptiques account. Then, enter your code at shoptiques.com/redeem, and you'll see this message:
Score! Your gift card has been redeemed! Your total will automatically be adjusted at checkout! Happy shopping
If you aren't familiar with Shoptiques, they offer the inventory of thousands of chic boutiques from across the world all in one place online. (And prices start well under $25, so you can use this gift card without having to bust out your credit card!)
I'm still browsing their site and deciding what I want to use this gift card for, but right now I'm leaning toward this concrete candle. (Let us know what you're going to buy!)
Verdict: This box has a retail value of about $151! That's a great value for POPSUGAR, and I am digging the festive vibes of this box! I think they did a great job with their 5-year anniversary box. Everything feels special, there are plenty items to gift and share if you don't want to keep them for yourself, and those candles are one of the items I would never have thought to buy for myself, but now I'm happy to have them on hand for the next birthday! (And you can't go wrong with a Shoptiques gift card in a box!)
