POPSUGAR Must Have Holiday Limited Edition Boxes Available Now

Are these guaranteed to ship before Christmas?

Yeah for me, I just got an email that I won a gift card from them for filling out a survey a while ago. I think I’ll put it towards a box. I never win anything anything so this is a nice treat!

I might actually buy these boxes, but I’m holding out for spoilers. If they came before Christmas, I’m sure there would be some great stocking stuffer and last-minute gift options in them! And even though the repeats can get annoying, the amount I pay ($40/month) usually more than covers the things I keep And what I don’t keep makes for lovely “free” gifts!

I, too, wouldn’t mind a coupon or offer to those loyal subscribers who have been with them for years and who had to deal with the October box annoyances and credit card issues. However, they’re trying to run a business, so I understand that might not be financially feasible. I think a lot of people want PSMH to bend over backwards to retain their business, but asking for a free box or for returns on the NM LE box seems to maybe take it a bit far.

I guess I’m in the minority here. They messed up, sure, but I also get heavily discounted stuff from them month after month and will continue to subscribe because I love the “surprise” element of it and actually use the majority of what they provide – yes, I love mascara, candles and clutches. 🙂

I do hope that these LE boxes appeal to people as they seem to be taking a lot of heat for things that are out of their control (i.e.- the coupon at Neiman Marcus.)

I don’t understand why people didn’t like the Fall LE box this year. I thought it was great. A cozy knit hat, pretty scarf, nice perfume, lipstick in a great fall shade and a fabulous face cleanser. What’s wrong with that? By contrast, last years’ had pine scented bubble bath and a notebook. 😛

I am also on team wait for spoilers, though I doubt I’ll purchase either of these boxes. (I did buy two November boxes after seeing spoilers.) My only LE box purchase was Summer 2014, and with that box I think I realized that I’m just not the luxury type. I personally don’t value an $80 candle (or frame, or lip gloss, or planner) any more than a $24 one so it doesn’t make sense for me to pay $100 (or $250) for the same types of items that come in our $40 monthly boxes. If the LE boxes had more items, rather than following the same curation guidelines at a higher price point, I would be all over them.

I really loved last year’s holiday boxes, but I need to see some spoilers for each one. I got a lot of great gifts out of them. Whatever I didn’t use, I easily resold. I dropped money on the NM box and I’m not sure yet if I’m going to love it. The clutch looks gorgeous, but the value is questionable.

I don’t need full spoilers, but one item from each box one help me find the budget.

After reading all the comments, I think I’ve come to a realization: there is a shelf-life for subscription boxes, no matter how loved. For those who spend the money, they are getting tired spending a chunk of repetitive items. And for those curating, there are so many high-value-lower-cost items that they can provide that a certain percentage of their audience will love. We all love this concept because it’s a treat and a surprise, but it’s lost some of its original interest, because we all have boxes full of unused items!

I refuse to buy another LE box without a complete spoiler. I bought the NM box and I’m really annoyed over the contents! No more money until I see PS disclosures. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on ME! No way, no how, PS!

My biggest concern with ordering these LE boxes is the ship date. We all know popsugar isn’t a shipping ace at the moment and mid-December is tough for even the most reliable companies. I think I will wait for spoilers.

I guess I’m in the minority here. I got the NM box on Monday and I really love everything in it. The items are luxury and exactly what I’d expect from Neiman Marcus. I also really liked the October box (yes, it was late) and was able to use all of the items. So, I ordered the Holiday box as well. They always make great gifts and I’ve yet to be disappointed in an LE box.

Unfortunately after the horrid let down with the Autumn and NM Box I won’t be partaking in this box. I am crossing my fingers to all the buyers of this box that you get a good one for you $100

I can’t wait to get another special unique box from popsugar! Why wait for spoilers when you already know popsugary recipe for a perfect box
The spoilers for this one are a Christmas scented candle, flavored popcorn, brand new lux mascara, an adorable clutch bag in everyone’s favorite cobalt blue, and of course a scarf!

I’m probably totally off on my guess the scarf will be cobalt blue

I’m not buying anything from them for more than $30 without complete spoilers. And maybe not anything after witnessing the disaster that is their customer service. I emailed them about the necklace promo in regards to the November box last Friday and I haven’t heard a peep from them since. I don’t know what’s going on over at Popsugar HQ, but whatever it is, it isn’t good.

I am a little unsure about this box…I guess the benefit of so many people being disappointed is that they won’t sell out quickly and I can wait for spoilers to decide 😉

I’m going to need sneak peeks before I spend $100 a box.

I wish the $50 off code worked for this box. I would risk it for $50, but I am not willing to risk $100 with Popsugar at this time.

I have been looking forward to the PSMH limited edition boxes for months, especially after seeing what was in last year’s boxes. But now there is no way I will give them my money for a LE box. The way they’ve handled their business and their customers lately is horrible, and instead of trying to make things up to their current customers for their wrongs, they throw things like the Kendra Scott necklace at new customers. Then they do a horribly overpriced NM box with repeat items, and to make things worse NM offers a deal on it. They need to start making things up to their customers and putting better items in their boxes that make me want to buy from them, because right now I am disgusted.

I really adored the holiday box we got last year (still use the planner, lotion, cheese board and will use the bangle again when i dress up), and the NM box last year. This year, the LE boxes since the resort box would have been a disappointment for me. I will wait for spoilers as i did with this years NM box and decide then if i want it, and take my chances they aren’t sold out by then

This was on my must buy list along with the NM box until I received my Fall LE box. I’m not buying another LE box unless there are spoilers that I like. I’m not on the same page with PS on what should be in an LE box. It’s disappointing because I’ve been looking forward to the boxes since I learned about them in May.

I have to say I am on the short list of people that does not hate popsugar right now. I sign up for the long term paying about 33 a month and never have I thought the box wasn’t worth the $33 I paid. While I had a bit of buyers remorse over the latest NM box, everything was very high quality and beautifully packaged I couldn’t even trade any of the items. I feel bad for all the backlash they are receiving and it is still my favorite box by a longshot.

Comment

Bwahahahaha, um no.
Popsugar really has a way of rubbing salt in the wound when it’s customers are unhappy. Hey, that crappy box we sent out, it’s $50 off now, but hey give us more of your money. At this point I’m actually considering cancelling my monthly subscription because of their appalling customer service, curation and ethics. I’ll purchase from quarterly in the future.

I agree. If the PSNM box had not been a major fail (contents and customer service) or I would have been able to send back the box (since it’s available in the store, as well), I would have picked up both of these in a second. No more PopSugar without spoilers.

More like…. None!

I think PS is going to be in for a rude awakening with this box. For a lot of people – me, included – this would have been an auto-buy up until a few weeks ago. However, I’m still kicking myself for throwing away $250 on the NM box. There is NO WAY I’m purchasing this box unless and until full spoilers are posted, and they would have to be incredibly impressive.
