POPSUGAR MUST HAVE - DECEMBER 2012 - Page 27

« Back to Group Discussions

Just got my box.  I was definitely expecting something with a little more pizzazz since it is Christmas.  I ordered his and hers luxury boxes though and I hope they are super impressive since this one just looks like stuff I could have gotten at HomeGoods, TJ Maxx, or Marshall's for about the same price.  I like the stuff but it just doesn't seem like $35 worth, let alone $100 worth. 

my post office is holding my box hostage again this month. its been there since the 12th, they said they attempted to delivery yesterday but that's not true, i asked for a redelivery today, they said they would, no delivery. I went to the post office they said they do not have it. No one knows where my box is once again. This is insanity this never happens when ups delivers to my post office!!!! i wont get this box probably till Monday. Making it 12 days to get to me, i am just appalled.

Wow, your post office has some serious issues.

color and evil eye charm, too!

I'm adopted from Turkey and my parents brought a neat one home when they brought me home

Merhaba :) 

I love Turkey. I've been there many times. Istanbul is one of my absolute favorite cities in the world.

You must go back...AMAZING shopping! Gorgeous jewelry! The food is INSANELY fantastic!

And did I say AMAZING shopping.?:) It's a magical place.

PS needs to do a destination box. The "must have" items from around the world.

That would be so cool!

That's a neat idea, I'm sure it would be appealing to a lot of us here :) Mmm just imagine getting french macarons and japanese cosmetics!

you have no idea, and no matter how many times i call consumer affairs, and their 1800 number nothing changes, i get packages every day lol, and every single one of them just about is at least a few days late.

Dream! That would be an incredible luxe box too!

My box finally came this morning.  My mini-emergency kit is yellow.  I did glance that some people had pink ones.  If anyone wants to trade, I'm all about the pink!

I'm most excited about the moisturizing soap since I have really dry skin and I can't use most soaps since a lot are drying.  The mugs are good.  I wont eat the peppermint because I don't like chocolate.  I'm not a huge tea drinker but I do love that brand of teas.  Overall the box was just okay.  It may have been my least favorite box to date, but it's still just "okay".

Now I can finally go back and read the thread in it's entirety since I was trying to avoid spoilers.

I agree.  This was my fist box and honestly I figured with it being December that there would be a little more pizazz with the items in the box.  Christmas and New Years would in my opinion call for atleast some cosmetics?  I may keep my subscription in January but if the box is as blah as this, I have to cancel.

I did a little while ago, yes. :)

I was formerly WinterSnowPeach, and then my boyfriend made up this nickname (mix between his original pet name for me, Babe, and my full name, Esperanza) & I liked this one much more. It fits me better, lol. It's so sweet that you noticed!

I have an ebay consignment business and ship tons of stuff. I drop my packages off at the loading dock behind my post office. Today I saw a huge bin of smart post packages many of them said "perishable" and looked like Harry and David. They were just sitting there. I think smart post sucks worse than anything I've ever seen. My box was shipped on the 8th and says estimated delivery on the 19th. Seriously? Parcel post is faster than that!

You say it's a community, where "ANYONE" is allowed, but then you go on to say that some people shouldn't be here. It is indeed a community where anyone is allowed, which is why it's nice to respect that some people don't want to be spoiled the second the first box shows up on instagram (which is literally what happened - I posted the first link, with a spoiler alert, and by the next post people were already talking openly about what was in it). You said yourself that using spoiler alerts is a courtesy... I'm not sure how asking people to be courteous is mean.

A comment was made about "just because googling popsugar spoilers brings you here, doesn't mean you have to join and spoil it" or whatever. so my response to that was that MuT is a community where anyone is free to join. I didn't say people shouldn't be here, I said if your experience of staying spoiler-free is being well, spoiled, then to simply not log into that thread. not the site. the thread. spoiler alerts are a courtesy, at this point and that is it. people weren't saying "please use spoilers, thank you!" it was more like complaining that they weren't being used. Almost everyone I've ever met would happily do something they weren't if they were asked, but if someone skips that step and just complains or speaks rudely of the topic, using spoilers will be less likely to happen for those who aren't using them.

I also received my

Thats true! I didn't think of that part, lol.

My emergency kit is Kelly Green with a gold four leaf clover charm.  It's probably my favorite item from the box.  I love it!!!
