Happy Rebel Box Fall 2019 FULL SPOILERS!

Just got an email about a new owner. Johanna left a mess. It will take a lot plus discounts to entice me back to the box.

Johanna could be so snotty with me at times. Glad she is gone.

If anyone would like to unload their “SIP SIP HOORAY” or “YAY” balloon set, let me know and maybe we could work something out! I’m on the swap site, so if you click on my name it should link to my swap page. Note, I’ve been inactive there for quite a while.

Total let down. I don’t entertain but I was hoping for a piece of stunning jewelry (one might wear whilst entertaining)…not a beer opener….sigh….

Curiously, full spoilers posted 9/15 for Margot Elena’s beautiful box with forty something replies remains on the currrently trending posts list,, while Happy Rebel’s full spoilers two days later with 131 replies has been shuffled to the back burner.

I think Happy Rebel just destroyed her own business. I’m sorry but you said the same thing with the mystery box debacle about taking feedback into consideration as you look ahead. That means nothing when some people just spent 100.00 on pure junk. In my opinion Johanna needs to either issue refunds to everyone who bought this box or give them the Winter box at no cost.

Thankfully I was able to swap my entire box for things I’ll actually use…but it just cost $23 at the cheapest option to ship. Ughhhhhh.

Ok, I’m not sure what MSRPs these products have but I can confirm that I can source the rose gold box for the following prices:

4 Glasses $49.98 (wayfair)
Bar towels $16.99 (wayfair)
Wine opener $23.51 (Amazon)
Bottle opener necklace $12.61 (Amazon)
Coasters $14 (happy rebel)
Cakewalk party supplies: $36 (Happy Rebel)

Total: $140.48

Wow.

I would STRONGLY encourage Happy Rebel to offer an additional item in their winter box for anyone who also purchased this fall box to make up for this (similar to how JourneeBox adds something extra in their boxes for annual subscribers).

People just started to forget about how they felt cheated by Happy Rebel with their $50 mystery box debaucle a couple years ago. This box will inevitably remind people all over again, except this time we are feeling cheated out of $100.

I don’t really care what the MSRPs are for these items if they are all readily available for less at countless websites. Saying this a $250 dollar box is like saying a box that includes those 24k gold face masks is actually worth the $2500 absurd MSRP attached to those products, rather than the $29.99 price at which EVERYONE sells them.

If Happy Rebel doesn’t make up for this in an Identifiable, tangible way (I mean something more than just stating that they “are taking in the feedback as we look ahead in curating future boxes”) this box will be my last. To unapologetically just “look ahead” is not ok.

All of these comments got me curious and I went out and looked at the reviews and wow the past boxes had some really nice stuff in them. I have never gotten this one before, but I see what you are saying.

Hello all,

I would be happy to provide a comment to collectively address some of the questions that have arisen on this thread.

Pricing – We listed the items individually on our site at the MSRP price provided to us by True Brands. As others have already mentioned, this information can be confirmed via the True Brands website. It is our standard approach to list items at the MSRP pricing provided to us by our brand partners. Sometimes we tweak a bit to account for shipping costs since we ship every order free, but this time everything is pretty straight ahead. Our two Happy Rebel creations were priced based on our research of comparable items on the market.

Customer Service Concerns – Blog comments on a 3rd party site are not really an effective vehicle for us to address customer service requests. Customers should reach out to us via email. This can be done directly (get happy @ happy rebel box . com), by replying to any email ever received from us in the past (promotional emails, shipping notifications, etc), or via our online form.

Party Packs – We actually considered these to be more of a fun add on item to the rest of the pieces of the collection, but they are certainly getting the most attention. It is clear the party packs are not a popular item from this box and that has been noted. Of course our goal is to put together collections that we think the most number of members and potential new members will enjoy, so we have read all of the comments on this thread and are taking in the feedback as we look ahead in curating future boxes.

As always, we enjoy connecting with MSA readers and appreciate your feedback. Thank you for taking the time to share your comments with us.

Wow, I am really glad I passed this season. The copper high ball glasses almost roped me back in, but glad I hated the place mats enough to sit it out. After such a knockout Summer (thanks Kiko!), this is definitely a low point for HR 🙁

Random Question

Did anyone else get the crock screw without instructions?

It’s pretty telling that Johanna hasn’t responded to anyone’s comments; especially those who received the wrong glasses. Makes me think she is embarrassed about the “curation” of these boxes (I would be, too).

OMgawd…. for all you ladies who received this box, I’m so sorry. This is a complete disaster. It makes FFF fall box look good. Heck even Trish Paytas’s box is a winner compared to this.

This box is the creme de la crap. Paper party favors…what the f

I just opened my box and opened the copper highball glasses to make sure they were ok. Every single one of them has chips in the copper plating and two of them have some kind of scratches or slight cracks in the glass. I tried to take pics but the reflective copper makes it really hard. Hopefully they’ll be enough to get replacements because those glasses are the only reason I bought the box – and there isn’t anything else that I really want in it.

I am newer to this site, but some of these comments I see about the RVs are really surprising to me. All of these prices are verifiable on the True Brands website. Everybody was going crazy, so I looked them up myself. I posted a reply on another comment about brand pricing standards if anyone is interested in learning more about how they work (I know it is a topic a lot of people are, very understandably, not at all familiar with)… but HR pricing these items at MSRP should be…. expected? Considered completely normal? Whether you place the same personal value on them, or think the brand itself is overpriced, that is another story, but most likely the price HR sells their items at is out of their control. I mean if you like an item and want to buy more get them at Walmart for their lower price instead of from the brand directly/HR but it’s not like HR is doing anything wrong by following the brand MSRP…

I wonder what Johanna who owns Happy Rebel has to say for herself? What possible explanation is going to make this box acceptable? You messed up badly lady. This is a box of Party City clearance that is in no way worth what you are claiming.

This box was a miss for me. I’m so glad I skipped!

I was worried I messed up by skipping but now I am relieved that I skipped. I really liked the highball glasses but I have so many glasses already which is why I decided to skip.

Hmm, I’m not sure that the girl who pays $82 for a set of 4 glasses is the kind of person who wears a $12 beer bottle opener necklace found at Walmart. The mats would be cool if they weren’t the size of a sheet of notebook paper and are therefore completely useless for their intended purpose. The towels are cute. The rest of it I’d expect to find in the Dollar Spot at Target. Not really edgy or classy.

Ugh. After reading these reviews, at least I know it isn’t just me – this was my first box from HR, and I was super excited about it – WHAT A HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT!!! The glasses are lovely, but everything else feels like junk. Not at all worth the money

I feel like the items fit a party theme, and they’re cohesive in that way + I feel like they DID deliver on the theme. But, this is not worth it for the $100 price point and none of these items’ style really fit in with what I expect from Happy Rebel.

I received my box last night and I’m so disappointed. I got the Mariposa collection and didn’t even bother taking anything out of the packaging because I know I’ll never use any of it. It would be one thing if the items were quality, but the wine charms, heart stones and bottle opener all look super cheap. The one item I would use—the glasses—arrived broken. It wouldn’t be all that bad for a lesser-priced subscription box but for $100 I expect more, and I expect much more from Happy Rebel! Just blah.

I subscribed to the summer box, which I loved, so despite the placemats being a miss for me, I kept an open mind. Then when there was an option to swap for the wine opener, I went ahead and decided to keep the subscription. But I wish I had stopped myself.

The rose gold highball glasses are gorgeous, so I looked up the party items on their respective websites, which are owned by an umbrella company out of Seattle, that seemingly over values all of their products, but there isn’t anything on the sites or in the box I would pick to drop $100 on by choice for any reason, including the glasses and wine opener combo.

The summer box was such an incredible value, and the Kiko bag itself was worth the $100, so this quarter was a let down to say the least. Hard to believe the same group that curated the summer box also took responsibility for fall.

I received my box yesterday & truly HATE it! Cheap paper goods, ugly/ cheap bottle opener, placemats that are unusable with even my tiniest appetizer plates, since they’re so small, and my rose gold box didn’t even come with the cheap silverware & napkins. This box is in no way worth the price. I’ve never been so disappointed with a subscription box.

This box is all trash. I asked for the wine opener instead of the placemats and received the placemats; I asked for the “cheers” glasses and received the pink ones. E-mailed and was asked to provide proof of my requests. I responded and haven’t heard back since. And I agree with everyone — the party items are paper plates and (paper) straws. No clue what I’d do with them so they will be tossed (I can’t use for a birthday because the plates say “sip sip hooray”). Cancelling this box — huge miss for me.

As an aside not sure what kind of plate would work with the placemats — they are SO small. Sadly these will be tossed as well. They should’ve scrapped them altogether instead of putting them in the box — I just can’t see what purpose they would serve — they are that small.

HUGE fail on this box — probably the worst fail I’ve seen in any of my sub boxes in the 3 years I’ve been receiving them. Sad that I paid $100.00 for a box of garbage essentially. Ugh. Can’t even gift any of the items.
