POPSUGAR Must Have Special Edition for Her Spoiler

does anyone know when this box will ship?

Kim – I regularly win products from the allure monthly giveaway and never receive a consent request via email. BUT I’m pretty sure it’s in their terms and conditions as part of my online entry.

Love this throw! I’m sending the Nina Garcia box back and ordering this one. The spoiler alone makes up for the horrible Nina box.

Liz – I’m not sure where to post this and perhaps there should be a separate discussion group addressing this, but I am SHOCKED and alarmed by the release I received last night from PopSugar regarding the ‘grand prize’ of $15 that I (and many other MSA followers, I believe) supposedly won. In order to claim this $15 ‘grand prize’, Sarah at PopSugar indicated that I would need to sign a release which would be sent separately. I thought that a bit odd, but waited to see what exactly I was ‘releasing’ before making a decision.

Well, for $15 PopSugar is requiring each ‘winner’ to release all rights to “the unrestricted, absolute, perpetual, worldwide right and license to use my name, address, photograph, likeness, voice, biographical and personal background information, statements, and Competition entry, and, without limitation, any notes, photograph, film, or video or audio tape that may be taken of me or of such materials (the foregoing, collectively, the “Content”), without further compensation, consideration, or notice or permission to me or to any third party, and to reproduce, copy, modify, create derivative works of, display, perform, exhibit, distribute, transmit or broadcast, publicly or otherwise, or otherwise use and permit to be used the Content or any part thereof, whether alone or in combination with other materials (including but not limited to text, data, images, photographs, illustrations, and graphics, video or audio segments of any nature), in any media or embodiment now known or hereafter developed (including but not limited to any format of any computer-based, Internet-based, electronic, magnetic, digital, laser or optical-based media), in connection with any Sponsor (or its designee)’s advertising, publicity, trade, competitions, activities, or materials.” WOW!!! I certainly hope everyone who received this release is actually reading it before signing away the rights to all of this for $15!! What is more, I’m surprised and disappointed in PopSugar for attempting to do this in the first place. It makes me seriously question what type of company they are, and whether I should even be doing business with them in the first place.

I’m very interested to know what other people think about this.

I caved…uugghh! And I’m still waiting on my November box, which makes me feel a bit foolish, but I’m hoping that it’s worth it based on the throw spoiler! I didn’t get my October box until November…feeling even more foolish, but this will be my deciding factor on whether I stay with PSMH or cancel. We shall see!! 😉 I also ordered the MSA box, so even though I live in Hawaii, I will stay warm(er) with all of the throws! Ha!

Why is there so often a throw as a spoiler? Borrring…. There are plenty of cute and comfy throws & blankets at Target for cheaper or at Kohls that I can stack coupons to get. I mean really? I guarantee they’d have all their boxes sold out if they put in another palette like they had way back when. (It feels so long ago now).

This isn’t doing anything for me. I was hoping the spoiler would be jewelry or a makeup palette. Plus, I’m still waiting on the items that were missing from my NM box, so…no.

so I caved and bought this box, I love throws and can’t wait to try this one out along with the one from MSA box.

Even tho popsugar has had quite a few issues. I received a few damaged items in my NM box and after several emails & FB messages they informed me they will be replacing them. So I figure I’ll give them one more shot. Even though I wasn’t thrilled with the curation of NM box the value was there and my father loved the Candle…. mine arrived smashed so I’m waiting on a new one. It will make a great gift for him.

Any Idea when a spoiler for Holiday Mens box will come out. I might grab one for him if the spoiler is great. If they reveal more items in the Womens box I might grab another one for a gift.

It just seems so predictable that they would do a throw for this box, after all the drama around the NM box. On one hand, I’m happy they are listening to customers. On the other hand, this kind of makes me roll my eyes. I’m REALLY looking forward to the MSA box and the blanket, and I’m just not terribly intrigued by this box, as it seems less like thoughtful curation and more like pandering to the disgruntled masses. I will skip it for sure.

I have to say, I much prefer the Faribault MSA02 throw! I have a Faribault throw that I bought at a flea market and even as vintage….soft, strong and last forever. and Made In the USA!!!!

I went to the website, as I didn’t know the price of this box. A suggestion to list prices. 🙂 I don’t think I can do it for $100. That’s a lot, especially since I want to be able to give gifts this holiday season. But the Turkish towel is gorgeous. Huge fan! I am not sure what the rest of the box is going to consist of so I couldn’t risk it. Plus I have family and friends to buy for. I am so broke right now so this is going to be a hard holiday. But I love the Turkish towel and if you can do it, looks like a great spoiler so far. 🙂

I’m happy for those that are excited about the throw. I will need another spoiler to be convinced. Now if there is a men’s spoiler and it was something that my husband likes I would purchase it.

I think the throw is really cute but it will now be the third Turkish towel item in a popsugar box. They know other companies make cotton towel/blanket products right? I prefer my blankets big, fluff and cozy so I am much more excited about the one coming in the MSA box. But I do think that it looks like it will be coming in this color only bc otherwise they usually put a note that says color may vary. Still not enough to get me to buy, and this will be the first LE I have missed.

I actually have a lot of Turkish T (12 of them in 3 different styles) towels and some are suggested on the site that they could also be used as throws. I love the quality but for me personally, I’d rather just wait for a Turkish T sale and buy exactly what I want. Unless they release another spoiler that I HAVE to have, I think this will be the first PSMH box I won’t order.

I caved. Darn it!

There better NOT be any sort of clutch, bag, makeup case or anything with a zipper!

Well…I caved! I love the spoiler and can’t wait to see the rest of what’s inside my Christmas present to myself! So glad I know I’ll be getting two awesome throws next month….I’m also getting the MSA box and can’t wait, it’s gonna be hard for Liz to beat the first masterpiece she put together ( I loved everything!!) but I know she can do it!! Well, hope everyone has a Happy Turkey day as I probably won’t be commenting again until after thanksgiving! Thanks for all you do Liz!!

I don’t much care for the color of this throw. So, it’s a meh spoiler for me. I’m done with them for the forseeable future thanks to their crummy shipping and abysmal customer service. I’ll enjoy my November Box and continue to subscribe to FFF. I like that stuff better anyhow.

I am not impressed by the throw. It’s 100% cotton and does not look very thick or heavy in the photos on the website, nor does it look wintery to me. I would not want any of the bright colors either. I also don’t think a 100% cotton throw is very luxurious. I would much rather have a plush, faux fur one or a soft wool one-and one in more of a dark, autumn, rich color. These just look so summery to me. As someone posted above, I could go to Marshalls or TJ Max and get a very nice designer type throw and just what I want for around $40.

This looks gorgeous! I’m excited for this box now.

I’m torn. What to do? Oh the struggle! If only I didn’t love – hate popsugar right now.

I’m also in the “done” with popsugar group. Yes throws this time of year are great, but the popsugar customer service is just garbage. I canceled my sub with them in October and got the confirmation email saying it was canceled and I was still billed this month and a box shipped. Tried to email customer service and haven’t heard anything back from them.

I would consider buying this box if I wasn’t so frustrated with Popsugar. Still waiting on this months box to ship! I would rather spend my money with a company that has better customer service and ships on time.

I have never purchased a special box but I always love my monthly boxes so I am going for it. So excited for this throw!

I could go both ways on this one. I actually really love the throw, but only in that soft gray color! If I got one of the bright colors it wouldn’t match my decor and would need to be gifted. Can’t make up my mind whether I’m ordering or not, so I’d love to see another spoiler.

It just feels so self-indulgent to purchase this around the holidays when I have others to buy for, but if received in time, I’m sure there would be some great presents in the box.

Still a no for me – I’m WAY more excited/interested in the blanket in MSA Quarterly. Thanks Liz!
