POPSUGAR Must Have November 2014 Spoilers & $10 Coupon!

I’m actually really surprised in the disappointement of this box… From what I can see, it’s a pretty good one! The cookbook, wallet, and hand cream more than justify the cost of the box to me (and even more so if you used a coupon– I prepaid for a 3-month sub with a coupon so my box total was about $33). I might not get as much use out of a pastry cook book as any other though. Also, I found these really cute lip sticky things for your wine glasses on Birchbox, and I think combined with the markers and maybe a set of inexpensive glasses this will make an awesome Christmas gift.

Every month of PSMH is a hit for some and a miss for others.. It really is hard to please the masses.

The wine markers and note cards are up for grabs. Possibly the wallet too…

so glad I cancelled after last month…

Hey is anyone else having issues with their referrals? Since PS website update things still seem to be glitchy. I have 7 referrals so I should be getting 3 months free, however my account doesn’t reflect this. Can someone tell me how their referral works. It says 2 referrals is equal to 1 free month and 5 referrals is 3 free months. So I’m just curious why mine hasn’t updated. Any info is much appreciated. Thanks!!

I want the hand cream. I cancelled but I do have the chalk board candle to trade if anyone wants to.

According to MUT, someone has gotten the box. The bag is actually a small wallet on a chain and is “vegan leather” so not leather at all… Plastic??? “Sorial Saffiano Wallet on a Chain ($49 value) – from what I can see online Saffiano is the vegan (faux) “leather”

Welcome back PSMH. This type of box is why I used to love PS. Except for color maybe, I don’t think you can compare this clutch to that strange blue/blue-yellow bag thing from the LE box. I’m wondering if everyone will get blue since it is made in many colors. I am a blue girl. Blue blue blue blue blue so I hope mine is blue. It is almost a blue color themed box looking at note cards and pop corn packaging. I have been wanting to try this popcorn in this selection for a long time. Except for the wine markers (hoping I can use them for pens) I am very pleased with this box. I REALLY hope shipping is not delayed, I am anxious to receive.

I am going to be pretty disappointed if I don’t get the KS necklace too, even though the box DOES look pretty nice and the value is there regardless. I used the code and got the 10.40 off also with the assumption of getting the necklace too!!

All I have to say is thank goodness that hers has a strap! I love purses but wouldn’t use any of those strapless clutches, just not practical for me. Excited to see you three nice high-value items in here and nothing junkie. I think I’ll like every item except I’m picky with perfumes so may have to swap the cream. I hope the notecards are nice.

MSA is mentioned in the Boston Globe today! (I just wish your name made it in, LIz!)

I’m pretty excited about this box! Everything looks to be of good quality. The purse seems promising (but omg, are clutches trying to take over the world or what..!?) and I am looking forward to seeing it up close/learning more. Yay for the cook book, the wine markers, the stationery. Very curious to smell the whale vomit hand cream, lol!

I actually like this box. I have not been signed up long enough to get an overload of blue clutches so that could be why. I love the cobalt blue. It is a great twist on a basic. I initially purchased the box this month for gifts but I am having a hard time letting anything go. You take a risk with a sub box. The value is there for sure.

Ooh I’m so excited for this box!! I’m an avid home “chef” (using that loosely) but really could improve my baking skills and this cookbook looks amazing. I guess since I only have the clutch from the Summer LE box I’m not blue clutched out yet and pretty thrilled to be expecting this purse, I know I’ll use it for nights out or just to keep my knitting in my larger tote bag. The popcorn is already a favorite of ours so I think I’ll gift it to someone to start their addiction and hopefully I’ll be able to part with the rest for xmas gifts, but I may be greedy. 😉 In Colorado plenty of people are vegan, paleo, or gf like myself but I in no ways mean to be catered to in these boxes and never have any difficulty pawning snacks off on others.

I would really only be interested in the lotion and maybe the book. That alone is worth more then the price of the box, plus the necklace on top of that but the value for me would not be great as the other items would be gifted. I find myself loving the range of items offered in fabfitfun and psmh but not seeing items I loved when I first debated subbing. I would be happy with just about anything that can fit many womens style. There are handbags out there that many women like but the fancy crossbody style in blue NO. A simple handbag in a neutral color yes because that suits more range of style but I like the idea of a fun color. Idk. Like the wine markers. Smh.

I love the idea of jewelry in subs like this too. For me the occasional bold piece would be fine but I am more simple. I loved the key necklace and the idea behind it. A scarf and or gloves would be nice, even cute ear muffs or furry house socks. Lol or a warmer and candle/ body wash and seasonal fragrances.

But I am more on the simple side.

I hope PSMH will have more skin care, makeup, a good scarf, gloves or even warm socks or candle or seasonal frangrances, s Even a flashlight because at least I would use it. J/k shaking my head. I am not subbed but have been eyeing the sub every month hoping there would be a few items I would love so that I would sub. I have been enjoying my FFF seasonal box more, it really is more my style even though I did not use everything from the box I used most and the value was still there and I had nice gifts.

I am so excited for this box! I had the Ruelala $24.95 coupon, I love blue and have no clutches with straps, I love cooking and baking so am excited for the cookbook, and all the stuff shown as well as the few extra goodies they add just make it more awesome. I am so glad I didn’t get Oct. Box! My first box was September and I loved it all. My absolute fav box now is Frenchbox and my first box sub Birchbox is still awesome with the points you accrue. I applied points to the BB Fall Fete box to get one free and another half off – with everything I can use or gift. I have tons of gf’s and we all do bday gifts and a monthly happy hour gift swap so between that and My Sub Addiction swap site everything has a happy home! 🙂 I wish people would take things a little more lightly with these boxes especially when some months are worth 3-in-1! They can’t all be perfect. I have found it helps waiting for a spoiler or just getting one every other or every third month as a splurge because how much stuff do you need anyways?!! I appreciate this site – box subs are so much fun!

I think this box looks pretty good, but I’m gonna be REALLY disappointed if it’s true that the Kendra Scott necklace would only be included with the October box, as some commenters have stated – it’s one of the main reasons I signed up! Liz – can you confirm or deny?

Everyone is amazing at figuring out the spoilers. I’m not interested in this month’s box. I’m glad for everyone who is happy for the box. A great box is needed after all the problems in October. I’m looking forward to the review and pictures. Enjoy the box!

I adore that purse! It is perfect for me. The box could contain just that purse and I would be happy. The rest is nice but I will probably use it as holiday gifts for teachers and coworkers.

This box kicks a**. I am so stoked for a leather bag. I hate non leather bags. And Navy/Cobalt is totally in. I love it. You take a gamble every month with this box. If you don’t like surprises, I suggest you stop subscribing to boxes with uncertainty. Really excited for this.

A bag with a strap! Huzzah! Fantastic. I’m pleased to hear that there aren’t any actual animal byproducts in the hand cream (or parabens for that matter). I’m lucky enough to be receiving the necklace too, so this is $30 well spent for me. I like everything enough to either keep it or feel good about gifting it. No disappointment here. I think the wine markers are fun too. I can’t wait to write inappropriate things on people’s wine glasses at Thanksgiving. 😉

I LOVE IT ALL. This came up on my FB feed and I told myself not to look, don’t get disappointed or frustrated, it’s always more fun to wait. In this case I’m glad I peeked because this is such a fun and different curation! Those complaining about blue – what? It’s like basic denim. Heard of color blocking? It doesn’t need to be matchy matchy and I love me a good handbag. That cobalt is very popular right now and even if it comes in different colors, the size/shape is unique enough to not replicate anything I have. Everything is spot on for the demographic – wine, culture, dining, cooking, dressing up. This box is much more “grown up” than October and truly classy. Yay! Bring on the mail. Plus those of you who signed up just for the necklace have a $70 or so promo item thrown in.

Really liking the looks of this box! A few things I know I’ll love, a few that are highly giftable (if I can part w/them). I’m starting to appreciate sub boxes for the gift potential. Just today I gifted last month’s chalkboard candle to a coworker for her bday and she LOVED it. Regarding the blue clutch, think of it this way — anything you can wear with denim, you can wear w/a blue handbag (not my advice. Stolen from Kim France, former Lucky mag editor). And it looks like this one is versatile as a clutch or crossbody, which is great.
I’m surprised by those who say PS shouldn’t include food in the boxes when their ‘About Us’ description states: fashion, beauty, food, fitness… It’s not like they’re pulling a fast one by including it.

So excited for this box! I love all of it. I will be gifting the wine markers but my friend will love them. Can’t wait to get it.

I think this box looks fantastic! A girl (well, this girl anyway!) can never have too many purses (or scarves ;D) in her collection. And as long as the purse is different (style, brand, construction, etc.) than the others I own – even if it is a similar color – I’ll certainly take it and love it. (Then again, if it’s the same style but a different color, I’ll take that, too!) I like having many options and even having options in similar colors. (Can you tell I’m a bit of a hoarder? lol!)

Love the wine pens, I was going to buy a set for the holidays. I have wine tasting parties so this will be a fun addition to the mix. Overall, I like the box it has a wide variety of items and I’ll use everything. Plus I live in chicago and love the popcorn mix yum!
