Be Kind by Ellen Fall 2019 Subscription Box – FULL SPOILERS!

I got my Fall Box but have still not received the Holiday Box and cannot get anyone to respond. This is very unfortunate because I have been a Ellen fan for a long time.
This feels like a scam and I’m trying to get my credit card from being renewed.
Any suggestions out there for me. I an not on social media and cannot seem to contact anyone by phone.

Hi! Is anyone else still waiting for their box? I haven’t even gotten a shipping notice but I have received emails asking me to review. Review what?! Thanks.

I just unboxed mine and I’m really happy with it. I love the white noise/fan machine and the key necklace. I think it will be fun to wear to work and it is nice and long which I love. The soap smells great too. I guess I’m in the minority but I’m really pleased with my box.

Very disappointed in this box. 🙁 It feels like it was just thrown together. Her website says there is a $200+ value in every box. By the card sent the value is only $148.89 without the Thrive Market value and that is only an additional $35, total of $183.89. For people that have tried Thrive in the past that offer is not valid. I love Ellen’s mission but if the Winter box isn’t awesome it will be my absolute last one. And I am appalled at the higher cost boxes for a POSSIBILITY to win something, not a guarantee!

I love Ellen. I love the charity angle. But like someone else said, I’d rather just donate the money. I sleep with white, brown, or pink noise already from Alexa. The body butters melted and ran all over the box and then went solid again so it’s a mess. I don’t wear eyeshadow pretty much ever. I missed the first box…which I’m still bummed about. I keep hoping they’ll regroup. I’ll give it one more shot then I’m done. Appreciate the spoilers!

Yes people tend to forget that it is for charity so it’s not real charity for them.

I believe all of us signed up for the cause of our money doing “good things”. $55.00 isn’t a joke when calculated times 4. I’ve noticed the box is filled up with freebies she pulls together from venders that write off the gifts and we get a box load of papers and unusable vouchers.
I haven’t received this October box but her team that is assigned to this charitable project is loosing contributors like me. I’m done. I throw away everything. I can’t even give away the boxed items. Now she wants Premium subscribers ? First thing was yo go to all of us offering a discount on those who have paid for a year of boxes .. incentify us before those who haven’t spent a penny. Poor marketing.

I really liked this box. I had a lot of fun opening it and everything is useful to me, I can’t wait to try the sleep machine. I especially love the scented body butters, very luxurious!

For those that have received the box, there is an option of going premium and paying about $252.00 for 1 year upfront for a chance to win other gifts. It kind of sounds like a lottery/raffle type box option. Not sure how I feel about that. I kind of want to do it but am a little hesitant. Has anyone heard anything about the premium boxes?

I mean this is slightly better than the Oprah boxes but really people need to think of this as a donation that they are getting a thank you gift for. This is not a box to get if value is important to you or you expect to get a bunch of high end stuff for. You’re basically donating to her charities and getting a box of gifts in return. I would personally rather just donate myself and at least get the tax deduction.

I was annoyed at being charged well before the ship date and was prepared to cancel this box, but I have mixed feelings about it. In my family, we will use everything but the soap, so it’s a functional box for us. But was it exceptional? No. There wasn’t anything that made any of us just super excited. And I think a box from Ellen (for $55) should do that.

I’m looking forward to it. The white noise sounds like a great item for trips. The key seems fun. I like the theme of relaxation. I can curl up to the book have some good smelling stuff. I’m excited😀

The spring box was my first Ellen box and I loved it… it has gone down hill (for me since). I want to cancel but I think I’ll give her the benefit of the doubt and wait to cancel after the Winter box. It’s just so random and the membership things are just not helpful (of interest) to me …. Come on Ellen one more box and then its cancel time for me I think.

Loved the first couple of boxes, but the multiple trial subscriptions box was what sort of pushed me to stop. I wish Ellen the best, because she does great things, but this box just isn’t for me. Glad for those that are able to afford it and help Ellen with her missions to make a difference. If it could return to the Vitruvi box level of being such a great bargain, I’ll be back then. The price of the fan alone is around the price of the subscription, but I already have a very high-end sleeping machine. Glad she released spoilers!

And – just wow (and for those not used to sarcasm… this is the “wow” in the most sarcastic voice possible!)…..

For the SAME price of multiple other quarterly subscriptions – Be Kind by Ellen under delivers in quality, quantity, and VALUE. Other quarterly subscriptions are promoting significantly greater value for $ spent. And they do…. But Be Kind by Ellen just sends out hodge podge of random items. Yes, the concept of giving back is great. But…. there are SO many other companies that I’m SURE Ellen could promote & work with for the greater good. The power of Ellen is worth millions to companies who should be lining up for her free promotional power!

As most all have said – first box was great. And every single box since has been major disappointment. This lack of value – plus the WORST Customer Service in subscription box world – makes this box a “NO” in capital letters for me.

I wasn’t excited about this box when I first saw the spoilers – basically because I already have a white noise machine that I never use and a Giving Keys necklace I’ve only worn a couple of times (I bought it after a massage when I was feeling particularly zen 🙂 ). But then I remembered that the reason why I don’t use my white noise machine is because I didn’t like any of the fan sounds. Been doing some research on YouTube to see what this thing sounds like and there are definitely a few sounds I think I could roll with. With the exception of the necklace, I can see myself using pretty much everything else in the box – even the Thrive voucher. I’ll think on this for a couple of days and make up my mind, but I’m not hatin’ it.

The first box was good. After that… not so good.
I just can’t justify spending $55 for this.

At first glance I think a I’m not excited about this one at all. But then I remember I have a 3 year old on the spectrum with sleep issues. And we are going to Disney World soon. That white noise machine looks like it can travel well and is worth trying. I’m not sure I will like the scent of the body butters and wish they had chosen an unscented one. The key necklace is not for me. I will list a couple of things from this box for swap like I have from the last couple of boxes, but I will enjoy some things from it too.

I love Ellen and her show, and what she does for charity.

I’ve received all boxes but this is getting so disappointing. I loved the first box and with the Ellen socks included I was hoping there would be a pair of the famous Ellen underwear in the next box and so on. Last box I did love getting the Drunk Elephant so had kept my hopes up for higher end goods. Now, Colour Pop?? I know it’s popular, but it’s cheap! And trial coupons are worthless.

For this one I was hoping at least for a fall throw or something fall-ish. I hope they can kick it up a notch for upcoming boxes but it looks like time to cancel for now.

I finally cancelled this box. I’ve received all of them since the beginning and I keep hoping for the love I felt for the first one. I kept giving it a chance, thinking they’d get their feet under them and it would get better. I love Ellen and her message and helping the causes, but I don’t feel like this box is worth the value. These trial subscription things need to go away. Sending a Spotify membership that can’t be used if you already have a paid account? Really not cool. I hate to bail, but I hate spending $55 a quarter to be disappointed again even more.

I love it! Everyone needs to remember it’s going towards a cause. Adopt a shelter dog is a great cause and it should make you feel good about donating to it. Be kind everyone!

This is the last straw. I just canceled my subscription. The first box was so phenomenal that I got two subscriptions. Every box since has been a disappointment. I haven’t used any of the trials they send like the Thrive membership or Spotify from the summer box. I already have a Spotify membership so I was ineligible for that offer anyway. Meh!

SOOOOO glad I canceled. This box sucks.

Not even remotely interested in this.

Disappointing box. Again. So sad because I would love to get Ellen’s box. The “free trials ” are just absolutely annoying to me. White noise? My alexa has unlimited choices. Nothing even slightly exciting in this box.
