This is a new box with a POPSUGARy feel that I just subbed to. Seeing as how I am not alone in my anticipation of my first box, I thought I would give it its own thread.

I emailed them and found out the candle will be pear and caramel scented (yay!) And that they aren't sending out the yeloow scarf of the 3 colors which is good because I look terrible in yellow.

Yes and you can choose to skip the box after the preview if it is not your cup of tea and they will add that month to the back end of your sub. The preview, the option to skip, and the fact that they use a real shipping service (UPS as opposed the SlowPost) are three things I REALLY like about this sub and I wish others would adopt.

Haha I showed my sister the stuff in the box and she is likely to come over here and steal the scarf :P I should have kept it to myself but I'm really excited about this one!

Do you pay monthly or the whole thing up front if you choose yearly?

I paid for the year up front.  If there are other options, I do not know about them.

popsugar must have boxes are one of my favorite because of the variety of items they put into their monthly boxes and seasonsbox looks very similar. i am so tempted to sub but i will wait and see for pictures and reviews wink.gif

I hope this is not a nosey thing to ask. Did you have a special offer, or did you break the year's sub price down by month?  The reason I am asking is that when I went to the site today to sign up, it's $35.00  a month with their shipping charge added to the total.

I wish a blogger would have a discount code for us, since this is a new subscription. Hint, hint! icon_smile.gif

Alrighty, here is how I got the 21/month. Initially, I did the code hunt and found nothing. If you go to the "How it works" tab on their site though, there is a breakdown of rates for extended subscriptions (I copied it below, when you go through checkout those pop up). I wrote them just to be sure there were no special deals I was missing out on and they replied with the following:

 

"Actually, until Jan 31st we have a super discount on 12 month subscriptions, meaning that right now you can get a 12 month subscription for  $250 which results in $20.80 per month. After that it will go to the normal yearly subscription of $349."

 

(I just pulled that from my email). After some consideration, I bit the bullet and subbed for a year.  I hope that helps :-)

 

 

 

Price Structure Below (prices include shipping)

  • Bill monthly for $34.90
  • 3 months for $99.70 (save $5)
  • 6 months for $174.50 (save $34.90)
  • 12 months for $250 (save $69.80)
  • One time purchase or gift for $34.90

I think I read that they are shipping soon, I am SO SO excited to get this box. The items really do meet the theme of "cozy" well. I bet their Feb (Valentines) will be awesome too.

This will be just the one however I believe I may sub if I like it as much as I think. I have been contemplating PS, but I would need to choose just one.

Hmmm... One surprise from my adventure in sub boxes has been learning about what things seem to make me happier than others. I have been pretty surprised by what I have learned. Both the beauty and lifestyle (including fitness in that category) have been really fun but the lifestyle ones seem to delight me the most. I know it would be tough for me to choose. It was partly having gotten a much better idea of what makes me really happy that made it easier to take the extended sub leap though smile.gif

OOOOOOH that is exciting! I am so happy we are getting that! I am curious what color I'll get, but I'm pretty sure it will be very wearable no matter what. Did you get shipping email yet? I didn't but I get so much email that I'm not real good with keeping a close watch on it either. I am going to go stare at the January box pics again lol

When you researched the past boxes, did you find skincare included?

January is their second box. The December box had:

Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)

Mint Truffle Lip Balm from Evergreen
Soak Essentials Aromatherapy Bath Salts
Bambuearth 's Natural and Responsible Soap
Tisano Cacao Tea
The above were full size. They also had a couple of little extras from Bath and Body works:
mini Twisted Peppermint candle
anti-bacterial pocketbac sanitizing hand gel in Jolly Gingerbread

I did not receive the December box though, January will be my first.  As I wrote this I started thinking about Yuzen (though I have never subbed to them) because this box also has a spa feel.
