The ModCloth scarf from the fall 2016 FFF box, anything Birchbox when they would send out nail polish and full sized items… you know

@Morgan. those same plaid scarves are on Amazon in the fall and winter. So many different color combos and prices you can look for days.

I’ve bought about 6 for $10 each with free Prime shipping. The Mod Cloth one is REALLY not even a good example of nice fibers or a good weave.

Two subscriptions, first one is the “yesohyas” box, I haven’t read anything.g on it thru MSA, I’ve only seen it on Instagram-came acrossit and it costs like $14 per month plus three dollars for shipping, but they are full size items (4-5 beauty items). And second, I have never heard of the Adidas box- gonna have to look into that one

Yes Oh Yas has been reviewed on MSA plenty of times.

Boxyluxe 😓 I tried but I didn’t make the list. I really wanted that box. I loved the headband too.

Watch for them to go on sale. I get one ever quarter for between $65-$75 depending on the code available. So worth every penny.

Would have loved to get the first Target/PopSugar collaboration box.

The Brandon Blackwood Blackout duffel bag and the first Adidas Avenue A box. I still keep checking once a month to see if there’s any news on Avenue A coming back!

Overall, the Adidas box but I really wish I had gotten those Rita Ora leggings.

The 2017 Summer Breo Box. Major FOMO still.

Adidas box! Margot elena first box. And I subscribed to Robb vices and Oui please when they both got awful. I’d make another list boxes I really shouldn’t have subscribed to and I’d add the recent luxe pineapple mess.

If it makes you feel any better about the ME Turkish towel, it’s a very small-ish towel and a rougher feel than most of my Turkish towels that are bath sized.
I have mine folded twice and use it in the kitchen as a kitchen sized towel.
They either ran out of bath sized towels, or it wasn’t ever supposed to be a bath sized towel. Not sure which, but mine is very small and falls short of my other 4-5 Turkish bath towels from sub boxes.
I love Margot Elena though. 😉

I could list for days, as I subscribe and have subscribed to a boatload of boxes, but a few I should have bought were:

1) The Breo boxes starting with the one with the Fujifilm camera! I LOVE that little camera so much. Would take photos of my pup with the Instax.

2) Similarly, I missed a year’s worth or so of Rose Post boxes. I never realized how good rose- infused skincare smelled and felt. The modern products aren’t at all like what my mother and grandmother used, lol. I love the boxes from the outside to the last product inside.

3) If I’d known PSMH was going to quarterly, I’d have bought more SE boxes along the years.

4) The first Rachel Zoe BOS with the bracelet! I want and love that bar cuff bracelet.

5) The Luxor box with the Brandon Blackwood backpack bag. Love the looks of it. I have 3 of his other items but this would have been my favorite.

That’s it. I’ve gotten most things I’ve wanted for the past 7-8 years, and lots of small things I didn’t want. 😉

I agree with you on the first Rachel Zoe BOS with the bracelet. I want it so badly.

The entire first year of Robb Vices. I coveted that box for the longest time, and then when I finally subscribed it started to go downhill. I may have gotten one or two really good boxes out of it. Also there was a gorgeous silk scarf from Luxe Provence that I’ll probably never get my hands on. I think it was called the Sand and Sky scarf or something. It sold out just before I resolved to buy it and I’ve never been able to find another one like it since.

BoxyLuxe box. I had the Sol de janeiro glow oil in my hands at Sephora and put it back because I knew it would be in this box. Then it sold out at Sephora and I got waitlisted for the Luxe box. 🙁 Bummer

2016 Popsugar for her holiday (the one with the Pehr throw). That will forever be the box that got away…

Reply ButtonReply

JA

I bought 2 of those boxes just for the throw! I use one and still have the other packed away for when the first one wears out.

Me too. Although I did eventually pick up the throw on eBay for something like $30, it would have been nice to get the chocolates and all the other goodies too! Especially since at one point they were offering the regular December box as a free GWP. I had been dealing with shipping issues with that winter’s RZ BOS and didn’t want to take a chance on another pricey winter box, but that one was really good!

Also the Spring 2017 Avenue A Adidas box. The Winter Rita Ora box was heinous so I didn’t want to take a chance, but I would have used everything in that box, especially the Stella bag!

I wish I had gotten December’s Popsugar box. I also wish I hadn’t missed out on the $100 Popsugar Galentines Day box. I don’t trust mystery boxes, so I waited until there were spoilers, but then it was too late, even though they were released the next day.

I would have loved to have been a subscriber to Oui Please when they were sending 1951s (although there’s no guarantee that I would have received the pattern(s) or size I would have liked). I am happy that I was a subscriber to Robb Vices when they sent out the boxes with the beautiful speaker. And I would have liked to have been a subscriber to Avenue A from the beginning.
