Birchbox Man November 2013

Here are the links for the boxes. I was hoping my husband would get the

The guys profile needs a "Please send no more than 6 fragrances per month" option. Every box this month is getting a cologne, and he seriously seems to get one every month which is not cool. My husband is getting box 7... not impressed

SOOOOOOOOOOOO AGREE!!! My bf is on box 2 and again got perfume samples which he clicked he did not like on the profile question. I am so canceling his sub after his three months. What a waste of my money. I am not impressed with the Nov box as a whole either. A travel toothpaste, a travel shampoo, a travel body lotion and a mini candle?????? Oh and the much anticipated perfume sample. What boloni!!! So not worth $20!!!

I love my Birchbox so I persuaded my husband to try a subscription.  I went with the monthly so I am not locked in if he hates it.  Should be getting the November box, but can't see what it is yet.  I think he would like the socks the best out of the lifestyle items.

In case anyone is interested, this is my husband's box for the month:

My husband is getting box 12.  It has the candle, but I figure we'll use that for someone for Christmas /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  This isn't the best month for the lifestyle items, but I do like that there are 5 items in each box this month (more points for me to use).  Last month it seemed like there were 4 in almost every box.

This will be the first month of BB man for my hubby.  I ordered it for him when he started to feel a bit jealous over my multiple monthly boxes   Not sure that he is going to be a big fan of any of the lifestyle items, but I hope he'll like at least a few of the things he gets.

Finally received my husband's box today.  Although the candle smells terrific, it's not something my hubby is interested in.  I started a swaps thread on the chance someone might want to swap the entire box for the ear buds.  I have to say I smelled the Sake Bomb body moisturizer, and it's awesome!

I would wear it myself if I was down for spending $35. Makes me think I should be buying men's lotion since my husband doesn't like the fragrance in all the ones I purchase.

Anyone want to trade?

We got the candle too. It's nice but with two little kids we never use them so it'll be going in our gift pile.

My husband got the candle, too. He really wanted the socks!

If anyone got the Atelier Mistral Patchouli and wants to sell it, pm me. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

We got the candle too and it was meh! I have to say that for $20 per box, some of the mens boxes are really disappointing. I saw on Youtube that one subscriber got TWO of the socks in his box and they were each different so it did not look like a mistake. Another subscriber got a full size Shaving Cream (I think like 16 oz) AND the wooden earbuds (retails $50) making that box value at least over $80!!!

Our box had yet another perfume sample, the travel candle (retails $30 but who pays $30 for a candle???), a tiny tube of shaving cream by Prorasco, the smallest sample of body lotion (honestly my BF will probably be able to moisturize one arm with the sample) and a one time use shampoo sample. Really disappointed, especially when others got 2 high retail full size items!

Woah! I didn't realize the earbuds retail for $50! Now, I am really mad! issoff: Box 2 actually has 3 full size items-- the earbuds, the Yes To chapstick and the shave cream. My husband got the same box as you. So unfair!

Yes! I know! I saw that box too and was like WTH???? Someone got THREE full size items of super high end quality and retail value and I got a price-inflated candle???? Birchbox man has to get it together. At least the womens boxes are pretty even across the board but seriously there are some really lame mens boxes 

The price discrepancies between the lifestyle items are outrageous! $9 for socks, $30 for a candle and $50 for earbuds? How can they say the boxes are comparable in value?

We should be getting spoilers for BB Man soon!!! I am excited to see what is going to be in the December boxes even though I am almost always completely disappointed in comparison to the women's boxes. 

I have a December clicky truck (that's not clicky) but they are getting ready to ship.  I wonder if they'll go out a little earlier this month after they gave points for being late last month and with Black Friday coming.  I'd think they'd want the boxes out of there before they start filling Black Friday/Cyber Monday orders.
