BE KIND. by ellen Spring 2020 Box FULL SPOILERS + Coupon!

I ordered my first Be Kind Box on 5/22 and have not received it yet. Can someone please give me an update and advise. Thank you.

If anyone doesn’t want the produce bags or the mindfulness cards, I would love to buy them from you (for a reasonable price). I can’t find those bags to buy online and I would love a set of them.

I just subscribed! The summer box 2020 will be my first one. I am curious, for those of you with an existing premium subscription, what were the extras you received? I’ve not seen any mention of the premium extra surprises.

Received my Spring box today… Positive – no “rocks” in my box (here’s looking at you Pop Sugar!). Negative – not one item had a “wow” factor. And… I’m SO not a fan of branded items! The “Be Kind” on the umbrella is truly awful, shameless advertising!

AND – this is two boxes in row for the “Premium” subscription and nothing to signify that it is even “Premium”. I mean – even a “better luck next time” note would at least be something! I’ve yet to see single person to post that they received ANYTHING extra for “Premium”. Talk about false advertising!!!!!

Has anyone received the Spring box – or notification of shipping? And…. has anyone seen or heard of anyone receiving anything “above and beyond” for the “Premium” subscription? The silence is deafening.

Any idea when this box will ship? It says on the website shipping mid Feb. It’s March 3rd and nothing has shipped……….

Looks like they have not fixed a thing from the holiday box. I’ve been a premium member since Oct 2019 and again nothing has shipped. I’d like to know what mid February means to this company??. It is now February 22nd and according to my account nothing has shipped. I’m sick of this. This be kind box is not worth the stress that I went through before and I’m not doing this again. I want a total refund this is beyond ridiculous. How dare Ellen put this box on her show again. She didnt even apologized for the first screw up.

I didn’t get 2 winter boxes 😠

Clearly in th minority, but I like this box and think it’s an improvement over her last few boxes. For some reason I’m really into that white board; think it will be fun to have in my office. I wear sunglasses year ’round and always need another pair. Aviators are classic and as close to universally flattering as you’re going to find. Chocolate and tea – Yum! Grocery bags, useful and environmentally friendly. I’ll gift the mindfulness cards to someone with kiddos and umbrellas get loss, so it’s always good to have a spare.

I’m with the consensus here. I’m so glad I finally unsubscribe after the winter box fiasco. I have given everything in my last 3 boxes away. I literally only use one thing out of all the boxes from this. It’s the simplest thing too! It’s the coffee cup.
This is another box I sadly would have zero use for. Loose leaf tea isn’t my thing. A Ellen umbrella? Pass the sunglasses are nice but that would be 2 things o would be using.
I want to love these boxes I just wish there was a “theme” and stick to it.

I already own these Lotus bags, bought several pkgs off of a GMA deal for a LOT less than $16 each set. N yes, they’re nice n durable but dont need anymore. I have brand new sunglasses everywhere in my house, brand new unused umbrellas galore, etc. Easy pass for me personally.

I was hoping this box would make me regret canceling, but I am good with my decision. I have way too many pairs of sunglasses and random umbrellas. Maybe the next box…

I wonder if the umbrella has a giant Ellen logo on it.

I really like how useful and different everything is. I don’t need any of these items, but I appreciate how hard it must be to please everyone.

How many pairs of sunglasses does one person need? I hardly ever buy Spring or Summer boxes for any sub as most of the RV is due to a pair of sunglasses. I have prescription lenses and can’t be bothered with this.

I really do wonder about the curation of these boxes. I know there is the underlying theme of supporting and promoting companies doing good, but the items just seem so random. Between the issues with the winter box and feeling like the box contents and I were not a great match, I did cancel, and seeing the spoilers, I’m not sad. I’m sure I’d use the grocery bags and enjoy the chocolate, but other than that, I don’t know that I’d get use out of the rest of the box.

this is ridiculous for $55. I’m going to cancel!

These are some nice usable items, but not for $55.

Bunch of random staff.

This would be a nice $20-$25 box, but at $55 it’s pretty laughable. Decently useful and unisex, but low value and mediocre curation.

I think with Ellen’s market she could have a really powerful box if there was some curation – maybe rather than something for everyone and nothing for someone there could be a few levels/types of box supporting different Ellen causes, like:
Kind Kids with different age ranges, proceeds to foster kids
Kind to Animals – proceeds to the foundation Portia gave her
Dapper – Ellen approved accessories, proceeds to an organization that helps people find jobs and job training
Kind to the Environment – reusable/eco friendly housewares, proceeds to environmental causes
Kind to the Arts – ethically made artisan goods, proceeds to support the artists/organizations they work with

Something that showcases the Ellen’s traits that we love and also supports specific charities!

I’d use about half the items, but it’s not worth the price.

While not the most exciting box ever, I’ll definitely use every single thing in here which makes it a great value for me. I love tea, sunglasses are always awesome and my daughter likes aviators, the produce bags are necessary here in the Pacific Northwest due to new “no plastic bags” laws, the umbrella will get TONS of use during the 3/4 of a year rainy season, lip balms = practical and chocolate = yum. I’ve gotten every box so far and while the items do seem random they do get used or gifted so I’m good with it. I do keep hoping for a “unicorn box” though, lol!

I too am glad I cancelled. I don’t think the value is there for the items you get. Also they seem to be very disjointed and just a bunch of odd items put together.

This box is alright for me. I can use everything except the Little Renegades Mindful Kids card set.
