CAUSEBOX Subscription Box Review – Winter 2021

I finally got my box yesterday and I love it! The cardigan is so soft as is the pillowcase. The coasters are good quality. I can’t wait to use the foot masks. Really pleased with the curation.

Hi everyone!

For those of you still waiting on your Winter box, it might help to email them. I sent Causebox a polite email on 2/5 at 8am to see what was going on. FedEx then received shipment information from Causebox that same day at 12:30pm…it didn’t start moving until today but it’s seems like quite the coincidence. It couldn’t hurt to try and get things moving by just sending them a quick email. Maybe they’re prioritizing shipments for people who seem a bit frustrated. Just wanted to share!

I was so surprised by how much I like this box. I got an annual subscription during the Black Friday sale so the box was free with an annual subscription; I received it in mid-January. I’m using the toner on the daily. I was going to sell the sweater but I’ve been wearing it almost daily while working from home; it truly is really cozy and soft. The socks are nice for what they are, and I love the baking sheets as it helps me eliminate foil waste. I haven’t yet tried the foot masks or the coasters but I can re-gift both of them if needed. I feel like I got my money’s worth with just the sweater and toner alone, and everything else is just bonus!

Still no tracking for my winter box. I saw there’s a delay on their social media but I hope it’s not spring by the time the winter items get here. This is the last box on my annual and I canceled.

I like this box and think it was pretty good. My kettle arrived with no damage, but it was smaller than I was expecting. I plan on using it as a watering can and am thankful people suggested that in the comments because it seems better suited for that purpose! Love the planner and the earrings. The stickers in the planner made me laugh though because they had all these references to travel and I was like…you know what year it is right?! Haven’t tried the pillowcase yet but it is super soft. Baking mats have worked pretty well so far when I’ve used them. Toner was the only dud. I hate when “natural” products put a bunch of unnecessary ingredients like orange oil or rosemary or whatever that are actually ingredients that are bad for sensitive skin. So I gave it away. Looking forward to the spring box!

This is so funny! I ordered this on November 27 for $29.99.

I completely forgot.

I have been a bit down lately missing my parents. (they both passed away in the last year)

So, today January 26 to my complete surprise this box arrives. It was a nice surprise and for $30 I feel like I got my money’s worth.

The sweater is soft and cozy. It feels like a hug.

The baking sheets. – Isn’t foil just as good?

The coasters- I won’t use. I could re-gift them I suppose.

The pillowcase- I’m sure I will love.
At first I thought I would have rather had the socks. But, I’m glad I received the pillow case.

The planner is lovely. I already purchased one but I think I’ll switch over to this one.

The toner- I will use eventually.

So, all and all it’s a nice box.

But…
When I ordered on November 27 my hopes were that I would get it in time for Christmas. This is why I canceled this subscription before I even opened the box.

Anyone from Canada whose box still hasn’t been shipped? Still waiting for the email that my box has been shipped.

I posted in the spoiler post 2x and it didn’t populate so not sure if it was filtered because I posted kettle issues? I posted in other categories without issue so it does seem odd. I got my box with the kettle over a week ago and it was seriously scratched, scuffed in areas and most oddly it had tape residue all around it that cannot be removed, the tissue paper inside was shredded and the cardboard inserts torn. I wouldn’t believe it unless I saw it. The outer box was pristine so IDK what on earth happened. I sent photos and they sent a replacement that arrived today. Well, this one has two long scratches and a scuff, and the handle has the residue and scuffing that cannot come off. I’m so disappointed. I do want to mention the first one is a tad shorter, very gold, this one is more rose gold and lighter in weight – no biggie at all with that as I assume they will have differences, but having scratches, scuffs and residue is not acceptable. I’ll use one for a watering can for my plants. Hopefully they will try another replacement so I can have one nice one to entertain with. It’s the reason I subscribed for this at all, and did an annual membership so hope it will get better. The rest of the items I absolutely LOVE – the planner, earrings, baking mats, pillowcase & toner. Sigh.

so i’m an annual subscriber and only got my winter box today. also, the kettle came already rusted inside, and everything in the box had a gross musty smell. i’m so so disappointed, and i don’t think i got my money’s worth at all. also the bathrobe from the last box was a JOKE, it was gigantic on me and so uncomfortable and the sleeves barely even went down to my elbows?? this whole subscription is such a waste of money i’m cancelling as soon as i get my spring box (the last in my annual sub). these boxes came out to almost 100CAD each for me for some reason (more than it was supposed to be) and i basically got 6 dollar-store items this time. huge disappointment

Got notification my market order shipped but still no box and I’m an annual subscriber 🙁

Can anyone tell me what the weigh of your box was if you got the tea kettle, thank you.

I’m now going to have 3 full bottles of that toner because it has been in 2 other sub boxes this year. Obviously they can’t give it away. It is now January 22 & still my winter box has not shipped. Canceling without a doubt if it doesn’t arrive this week. No other company is pulling this “no holiday shipping” crap. What a jackass excuse.

I love this subscription so much. I love the items and the causes they help. I received my box Jan 19, the day before my birthday. I immediately filled out the planner, it is so beautiful. The kettle I plan on using as a watering can. It is lovely. I love the softness of the pillow and I always enjoy receiving Skin&Co. The baking mats I look forward to using, my daughter and I love to bake cookies.

I am still waiting (ordered in November). The box is apparently in Kansas 🙁

I JUST received a shipping notification email for my winter box. I’m NOT an annual subscriber so I’m hoping to not receive the tea kettle as I have absolutely no need for it. I suppose if I do receive it I’ll either gift it or use it decoratively. I’m looking forward to the toner as I have yet to find one that I really like. I, too, am not thrilled that they seem to only cater to annual subscribers. I don’t always have the extra funds so having the ability to not get every box is a good thing for me. I’m on the fence about continuing to get this box, though I love their mission.

Loved the box, but once again they got something wrong. Last box (which was my first) they sent the wrong thing and this box they didn’t send the Toner at all. The customer service is wonderful and they took care of it right away but I would love it if I didn’t have to work to get my box correct the first time.

My box arrived without the coasters. I have an annual. I emailed them on two days ago and haven’t heard back yet.

I’m a newer annual subscriber and I added an extra box this round when they offered that great deal during the holiday season. I have received my annual box and am quite pleased. The other box is awaiting shipment. I know that people are upset about the wait, but I guess I find these boxes fun extras in my life. So for me – I get excited when they get here & enjoy the things I like & gift the stuff I don’t. And if I think something would make a nice gift for a different season, I tuck it away to pull out at the right time. These items are not the most luxe ever – but they are decent quality. The service is great – they are responsive & kind. Again – these boxes are a bonus for me. I don’t rely on it for necessary daily living. I guess – with no offense intended – I find I enjoy it more when I keep this box in the fun extra perk category, rather than depending on it to meet a specific date requirement.

Did I read that the silicone mats are only good up to 240 degrees? If so, that is not useful at all. Most thing I cook are at 350-425 degrees. Or was I misunderstanding?

My box has finally shipped, but I’m still waiting on marketplace order.

I was planning to gift the kettle, but reading the comments I’m wondering if I should. Does anyone like it? My earrings the finish didn’t rub off.

I signed up for annual during the fall. Somehow I missed being able to select for that box, and wasn’t impressed with what I received. I was able to choose to choose for this box, but wasn’t real happy with the offerings. Is it just me, or were the products offered in the past better? I signed up because I saw quite a few things I liked. I really like their market. Great products and prices!

Megan, I wish we were in the same area. I would book a facial and brow session with you in a hot second! I always enjoy your reviews, and I’m sure that your esthetician skills are also excellent!

It’s a quarterly subscription box and they chose not to ship during the holidays. I’m ok with the timing as nothing, outside of the planner, was particularly season specific. Were they great at communicating it? Eh, they do update that section on their webpage, but put the burden of checking that regularly on the customer vs sending out mass emails the way FFF does. The marketplace orders, however, those seem to have freakishly long delays and no real information on timing on the website. Mine just shipped and I placed the order Day 1 of opening like many others.

I like the cloud wrap and have successfully laundered it. The socks got extra loose/slouchy during my first wear and they were big to begin with and didn’t shrink back after being washed, so those ended up in the donate pile. I’ve used the reusable ziplock type bags and they are functional. Wish they weren’t hand wash and dry given the side folds, but not unhappy with them. My remaining 3 items were all beauty/skincare related and I haven’t opened any of them. All in all, I’m happy I purchased the box.

I got lucky and received a perfect kettle – I will not use it as intended, it’ll just sit on the counter looking pretty. I hope the silicone mats work well. The pillow case went to my daughter who adores bamboo/lyocell bedding. The foot masks will be gifted to a mask fanatic. The scrub and the toner will be happily used.

I bought the whole box from a girl in a sub box group, she was an annual and forgot to skip. I wouldn’t bother otherwise.

My 4yr old, art-loving daughter colored the coloring page in the booklet with me, and even drew (and colored) her own version of it this morning! Now she is busy helping me “color in” the inner book page design of the planner that has a colorable design of the flowers/leaves. And she’s picked a planner sticker to decorate the title page for me.

I can totally justify getting this box as a “kid’s activity box” now, right? Haha 😀 It’s been hours of fun for her already!

I’m an new annual subscriber and haven’t received my box or market order. Not even a label! I’m not happy, and I’m really starting to resent the company. Everywhere I look people are getting their boxes, and I haven’t even heard anything about mine. I tried emailing them for answers, and they told me to just wait. I tried contacting them on Facebook, and they ignored me. WTF is the problem with these people?
