Okay, dead serious. How the hell do you open this mint tin?
Just for comparison this was last October's box

I agree with you. And not necessarily high dollar items...but things that had a QUALITY "niche" feel! The more I think about it - and compare old boxes to newer ones - the worse I feel. Everything feels so cheap and thrown together. I went from coveting the December 2014 box (with the lovely planner and jewelry) to feeling embarrassed that I paid for this.I'm didn't like his box for the super high values but for the discovery of items that I didn't know I wanted until they were in my hot little hands.
Wow, I like your curation! I don't even know what boot cuffs are, but now I want them.Wow, the comparison is stark!
I miss the older boxes that focused on small artisans (like their original mission statement) as compared to the current practice of churning out a box of junk just for the sake of sending out boxes.
This month, I would have liked to have received:

- A soft plaid scarf (which is actually on trend right now) like this.
- Small batch caramel candies, like these.
- Evergreen scented candle, like this.
- A tinted lip balm like this organic one.
- Delicate rose gold leaf earrings like these.
- Boot cuffs like these.
- and this mulled wine spice mix.
I saw somewhere that someone else was wondering if the company had been sold because the Facebook page (and possibly website) seemed different.Comparing last years October box to this years is just sad, it doesn't even look like it's from the same company. I just don't understand how LLB went from curating a fun box with so many unknown brands to a box that has no thought nor exciting brands put into it. They now include basic brands that have been in other subs for years..It's like companies don't even want to give LLB items anymore. I just don't get how they were able to curate boxes like they used to at $40 a box and can't even do a box half as decent anymore with a $20 increase! I just find it ironic that after this drama happened with MSA they started releasing these horrific boxes and even including products they make themselves to fill in the value. And weren't they supposed to appear on GMA? I never saw that happen. Could this company be sold to someone else? It would make sense as to why it doesn't feel like the same box anymore. Ugh, now that I actually have the box in person makes me even more sad.
If you head over to Ramblings you will find a very positive plant comment about this recent box
