I have been watching the #bekindbyellen tag on IG and saw a sneak peek on IG stories by people who have received a box today. It includes items from alex n ani, west rock coffee, calm, my byta, cheerios. I didnt see the items. Just the hashtags and a flash of the inside of the box.

Sam

My husband has surprised me the past several years with a FabFitFun annual Subscription for my birthday (which is next month)

He asked me if I knew what I was getting for my birthday, and I replied , “Hopefully Fab Fit Fun!”

He said, “No more FabFitFun for you! The add-ins cost more than the subscription. THIS is the subscription box you are getting. No selections. No add one. You are Fab Fit Done.”

He showed me a picture of an annual subscription to the Ellen box. I was overjoyed but also very sad because I love my Fab Fit Fun.

So I asked “How did you know about the Ellen box?”

He said, “I got on their waiting list from last time.”

My eyes welled up with tears, “Is it really Fab Fit Done?”

He said, “Have I ever said ‘no’ to you?”

He likes to make me crazy! I think he’s been thinking of that phrase for a while! So TWO nice subscription boxes! YAY!

Jen

Sounds like he’s a keeper. 🙂

Julie

I went ahead an subscribed again. I really enjoyed my last box. I can not wait to see more spoilers released. BTW, I have an un-opened diffuser that I keep thinking I will use, but it is un-listed. Please let me know if interested in a swap.

@lizcadman, can you please add this box to your subscription-box listings so that we can sign up for notifications?

Pam

Well-I just couldn’t stand it anymore-I signed up! Lol. I was on the fence about popsugar and finally took the plunge-then it was sold out the VERY NEXT DAY! I was afraid to wait on Ellen’s box very long-I can’t imagine it will be anything but sold out real soon! I didn’t wanna miss out!! Good luck on the $5k ladies! Also-good luck to those still playing the waiting game!

Elle

I’m wondering, for those of you were were charged 2 times for the LE box last fall, did customer service improve and did you receive a refund? Thanks.

Anna

It was actually delayed billing, so not a second charge just hadn’t billed when it was shipped as it was meant to.

Elle

Thanks for the clarification, Anna!

Does anyone remember if the spoilers came out before or after the box sold out last time?

Sammee

Before, but it sold out very quickly (within a couple hours I think) after spoilers came out and she unpacked the box on her TV show.

Thank you! Wonder if she will open tomorrow?!?

Tammy

I bit the bullet and subscribed. This is a really big deal for me because I’m not made out of money, but I love Ellen and all that she does. Please don’t let us down, Ellen! We love you and want to support you.

A.M. Myself

I bought the initial box and now I will be buying the sub for my sister-in-law Ellen. The boxes fall will be delivered around her birthday and the holidays.
Also how many people have socks with their name on them.
I consider this a win win for her and us.
Thank you Ellen.

Victoria

I’ve been soo good lately and haven’t been buying any subscription boxes but I felt like treating myself so subscribed. I was crying on the inside after missing out on the diffuser in the LE box last year. Still nervous about not having any spoilers but I’m going on faith.

For the LE box, does anyone remember how long after the box was announced a spoiler was released? By the time I saw spoilers the box was sold out.

#FOMO

Sammee

Last year the spoilers were released the day after the LE box was announced and made available. For some reason a handful of people who had already purchased the box thought that was unfair. Imo it was certainly unusual, but not unfair. There isn’t a single box that isn’t ready and willing to take money whenever people are ready to give it to them 🙂

Sarah

Email me at edge.sarah.a at Gmail if you still would like to have that diffuser 😉

Lynn

I also signed up for the same reasons you gave. I am nervous though. Hopefully it will be a great surprise and items we will love. That limited edition box had a great value too. On her show, Ellen likes to surprise people, maybe she won’t give spoilers? Or maybe just one or two?

Small Cheerios box and 5000.00 gold ticket is the only spoiler so far😊

Barbara

I had promised myself no more new subscription boxes and to cancel unless they made me really happy. But I am so tempted to get this one but I want to see a spoiler first before I make up my mind. Hoping a spoiler is released soon !

Sheila

Thank you for adulting better than most

sher_w

I support the concept of this box. I bought it sight unseen. And no matter the contents, I pledge not to b**tch and moan about disliking the items, customer service regarding returning the box, and lack of spoilers.

sher_w

Haha, thanks for your comments, ladies. I am all for people having the right to voice their opinions, but the excessive negativity for the last box was grating.

Flora

Omg! Some people are self-centered, crazy and so unwilling to accept blame for poor decisions. How do you “trick” someone in making a purchase online?!? Not like she held a gun to their head. Or said that they will win the lottery if they buy the box. It’s just terrible impulse control. I purchased it with no spoilers because I know it is a “surprise” box and know what I’m getting into. I’m also not going to take food away from my kids with this purchase or Easter egg baskets, etc.
I grew up where if you were willing to take a chance on random grab bags (which have been around for a long time) then it is a chance you won’t get something you like. You can still be disappointed but that’s they whole idea of mystery boxes, someone may get something they love while someone else gets the same thing and hates it. To quote John Lydgate “You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time”.

Xtina

I’m so going back to find that!! Omg, that’s gotta be worth the stalking and screenshot and meme worthy lol #popcornready #gifsonstandby #shadesoff

As far as this box: I gotta wait for atleast one spoiler, like I did with last years LE one. (I loved it Btw!!)
If it sells out oh well, nothing I truely “need” just adding to my ever growing closet and addiction #ifeellikeAA #needtogothroughmysteps
#oneboxatatime
I do reallyyyyy love Ellen and almost everything she does for the community, generous donations and gifts to deserving people, as well as speaking for animals rights and conservation of this planet. She is just magic. 🥰

Soooo Liz can you hook a sista up and leak a spoiler…or two…or the whole box 😏

Taren

I actually went back and reread the comments after you mentioned this! Wow. That and the people complaining about tracking notifications going to spam folders even though their boxes arrived! Oh and the woman who was upset that Ellen was DONATING money to help save endangered Gorillas. I could go on but I’d better stop.

SandyS

The irony of those comments and the very name of this box was incredible!

SquirrelyGirl

You are my kind of MSA follower!!!

Sammee

Lol! I don’t know you but I like you 🙂

Christine

Lol! I love your way of thinking and I think I need to sign up too. I do love Ellen and also loved the last box . I have a feeling it will be a good one! 🤞

Ankareeda

I jumped so fast! I bought two of the LE boxes and wanted a third, but they sold out. I kept everything in the first and separated the second one for gifts. Everything was such high quality and most of it was really practical.

Laura Borejszo

I just subscribed to Ellen’s box. Figured why not, I love surprises.

hunted for spoilers but nothing! just rec’d email now, strange! only found this which assume is the co that puts together box

https://element5digital.com/work/ellen-degeneres/

waiting to see something first!

Jenn C

Went ahead and subbed b/c I have been looking for a seasonal box that will have unique items in the health, beauty, and lifestyle categories… Although I didn’t purchase any, I like the clothes styles and designs she had out at WalMart recently && the LE box also looked good. I am just so curious as to how many items, and other details this will include so hope for some spoilers soon, it isn’t like me to just go ahead and blindly give 50 bucks away, but something’s telling me this will be good compared to what’s out there

Nancy

Those socks from the first box are great and I’ve been wearing that silver necklace daily!

Lisa

I’m confused as to why my comments never post? I was asking if anyone received a confirmation of purchase..I’m unsure as to why that would be omitted.?

Christine

I have issues with my comments not showing up too 🤔 seems like others see it but I don’t.

Nancyisshopping

I did but the email went right into junk mail. I had to find it there.

Anya

Lisa, I did receive an email confirmation of my subscription. I did sign up for an account first and saw my previous order history (of the limited edition box) when I logged in. Perhaps create an account with the email you used to purchase and see if it’s there when you click manage subscription. HTH.

Victoria

Your comment posted at 7:25pm EST about the confirmation email question, it’s showing up 🙂

Lisa

Oops. I see it now. 😊 I had checked last night and it wasn’t there. Maybe it was just delayed a bit.

Terry

Sigh. I’m trying to cut down instead of add on, but I just subbed. I missed the LE box but after looking at the review I decided to give it a try. If this one’s not great I can always cancel, right? Plus, I gotta support another Nola girl!

Kellie Johnson

I took a leap of faith and subscribed. I like Ellen and was impressed with the limited edition box. Figure if it doesn’t meet my expectations, I will just cancel.

Kelly

I don’t believe you will be able to cancel this box but you will be able to cancel future boxes. I did get the LE box back in October and I thought it was a good value – especially compared to the items in FabFitFun and Pop Sugar.

Lisa

Did anyone receive an email confirming their order? I received an account confirmation but no email stating an order confirmation.

Deb

@Lisa I did, it has what I purchased, the amount etc…..

Anna

I received an email confirmation but from a different email than the account address. The order email was from support at be kind by ellen.

Anne

Skipped HR this quarter…. Tempted to jump on this one instead but hoping for a spoiler first

Lily

PLEASE, Liz, get us a hero item spoiler. 🙂
Thanks,
Lily

Nancy M.

FAQ’s state that the box will be shipped within 7 business days of successful payment– subscribers should receive in 5-10 days.

I was charged 7% sales tax. Not charged sales tax for that last box. Even if sales tax is charged my state’s tax is not 7%. Hmm

SquirrelyGirl

Sales tax is now required as of 2019. New laws. California has been getting charged sales tax for at least a decade and it’s up to 9% now. :/

I understand that. Its hyst that my state’s tax rate is lower than 7%.

DeeCee

I just signed up!
Their first box looked so good.😍
I can only imagine the kind of partnerships this will have.
I love it that they support companies that do social good! Also, I bet this will be a creative and fun box. I love Ellen!

Bella01

There’s a Golden 5000 dollar ticket. Wow. I’m in. And I just saw they are almost sold out.

Natalieee

Where does it say it’s almost sold out?

Bella01

It was on YouTube and I was going by Ellen saying the box sold out in 24 hours. But it was last box. Sorry.

found this, no spoliers but co that makes boxes…
https://element5digital.com/work/ellen-degeneres/

looked everywhere and did not see almost sold out – last time, believe she showed box then sold out but not 100% sure..
