Little Lace Box Subscriptions are Open

Thanks Lily for letting us know that Little Lace Box has opened subscriptions again! (Subscriptions start with the January box). Make sure to use coupon code mysubscriptionaddiction10 to save $10 off your first box! (Thanks Anna!)

Here is some spoiler info about "The Dining Car" January box inspired by Downton Abbey:

There was once a time when traveling by steamship, railroad (or Graf Zeppelin) was the preferred method of travel. And in those days, the dining car was much more than just a physical location where people met to eat a meal. It was an elegant event often attended by celebrities and dignitaries, and the service rivaled high-end restaurants. Just imagine elegant surroundings and amazing menus combined with exterior visuals that change constantly as you race down the tracks.

We chose The Dining Car for January to commemorate the beginning of the fifth season of Downton Abbey on PBS. If you haven’t become hooked on Downton Abbey yet, you haven’t experienced great television. Smartly written, witty and authentic, Downton Abbey transports us back to the early 20th century. It’s there where we find beautiful ladies dressed in magnificent gowns with white gloves, and dapper gentlemen who knew to rise whenever a woman entered a room or upon her departure. It’s also there where we will find the curation for the January Little Lace Box.

The Dining Car is all about vintage and beauty and you. This box will include hidden gems for you AND your home.

I just got an email stating my box is shipping January 26.

Kim

OK so Oui please or Little Lace Box? Oui Please is $175 if you just want one box………..or $650 for the whole year. (6 boxes) LLB is $384 for 12 boxes and it seems if you really want them you need to do the year’s sub….

anna

Hmm, difficult choice. I have both and love both! LLB is always great (my opinion ) but Ouiplease we have only see one introduction box. Next boxes might have lesser value.

PA Anna

What is it that you are looking for? Both subs are vastly different IMO. Check LLB’s shop to see if you like their products and past reviews. Also read the Oui Please thread.

LLB
1. Arrives monthly
2. Has interesting themes
3. Little variation in boxes although that may change since they sent out an email about preferences. For example some people do not earrings or may prefer gold tones over silver tones.
4. You can review each item for points that can be used in their shop.
5. They are responsive to emails. I have ordered from their shop and never had an issue.
6. IMO their emphasis is in a well-curated box.

Oui Please – I decided not to order this sub
1. Arrives every other month.
2. Responsive to all my emails during a busy time when everyone was signing up.
3. I did not like some of the TOS and Privacy terms.
4. Unable to accommodate a no earring request. This ultimately was a deal breaker for me. LLB can do it, PopSugar can do it, but a $150 box can’t??? They did send out boxes without earrings so I don’t understand the issue.

Once shipped
1. Boxes had values ranging from $350-$450.
2. Reading different threads – they have been responsive to people whose values did not hit the $400.00 amount.
3. I was disappointed to read that people who took the time to fill out the preferences which include your clothing size still received the wrong sizes.
4. Overall, the consensus seems to be that it was a great debut box.
5. You do receive a book showing everything that was sent out. There could be the feeling of being cheated because of not receiving something that was of interest.

I would had ordered the year when they were offering the discount if they were willing to accommodate the no earring request. I know it sounds silly, but if I am paying that much for a box I expect to be able to use the items especially if they offer a preference section on their website and sent out boxes with no earrings!!!

Cindy

Does anyone know when they usually ship? I am excited for my first box! Thanks.

PA Anna

The website says they start shipping on the 21st. I live in PA and received my boxes 10/25, 11/19 (shipped early to avoid Thanksgiving travel), and 12/17 (maybe because of the holidays or the box was ready to go??)

It’s hard to wait!

Cindy

Thank you PA Anna. That was very helpful. And, yes, it is hard to wait!

Ashley

If anyone is selling their December box, or just the planner for that matter please let me know 🙂

Andrea

Hi! I would be willing to sell my planner. Let me know what you were thinking at ameier23 at hotmail.com

Barbie

Hey Ashley I just responded to you saying my box was still available but it oohs like one of the original people that asked e-mailed me about it. Please email me also at [email protected] and if it falls through I will consider you next if that’s okay!

Ashley

Thanks! Just sent you an email in case

anna

I love December box. Will use every single item. I love gold jewelry and pearls are so classic. I think you can wear pearls in every age. My soap smells great and I have never seen better planner.
I didn’t expect another November. I have seen reviews of this box since they started and November was extraordinary. The value of December box is over $130 (without shipping ) and there is no filers or cheap items. Just four handpicked high quality items. More than enough for me.
I also think you can write to them with your preferences (silver jewelry over gold, no earrings etc) and I think they will try to adjust…

EricaO

I will sell the whole Dec box if anyone is interested. This box is very hit or miss with me, loved the last one and won’t use anything in this one…. I find the age comment interesting also. They sent out the clutch which seems super young and then this month they sent out pearls which to me reads super old!

Angelina Crawford

I dont have a website an im new to this but i would love to buy the Dec box, email my name is Angelina let me know what u would like and if its not too expensive i will try my best.

Stephanie

Erica,
I’ll buy via PP if still available. Thanks.

EricaO

Sure is! Can you email me please? [email protected]

Lin

I was upset I missed out on signing up for the January box but after reading the comments here and on MUT by LLB I’m not too sad about it any longer. It seems way to Big Brother to me. As hard as it must be, business owners have to separate their personal feelings and treat this as any other business when someone has a complaint. Getting emotional and snarky (“oh boy”) antagonizes and alienates present and potential customers and is never a good idea.

Meme

I just tried to get the LLB, but it said it was sold out…I checked the link for the yearly (vs. the monthly, which is what I tried first) and it was available. I’m confused on why they have a yearly subscription open for the box, but not the monthly?? Anyone else notice this?

Heather

Meme,
I too ran into this problem. I decided to bite the bullet and go for the whole year since it’s a 25% savings. When I got their confirmation email it said my subscription would start with the January box. I’m thinking maybe they hold some current month’s boxes back for annual subscribers. Not sure, just happy. 🙂

Jessica

The yearly fine print says it will start with next month’s box if the current month is sold out. Essentially you are purchasing February early to guarantee you get one, plus the next eleven months.

Katlyn

So bummed this is already sold out. I was so excited about the theme. 🙁

anna

LLB works with new, upcoming designers and sometimes it is difficult for them to produce so many items. That’s why they have limited quantity of boxes and sell out so quickly. I am guessing they will open for new subscribtion every month, when some people don’t renew their month to month subscription

Kathryn

Did anyone not get there dec box today. Mine is still showing in transit?

Cindy

I got an email confirming my new subscription. In the email, they ask for a reply so they can update ‘preferences’ in your profile. What kinds of things have subscribers put into their preferences? Being sort of new to this type of boxes, I am at a loss for ideas.

PA Anna

They are one of the few subs that asks for preferences. An example is no earrings. Another preference is if you are allergic to a scent or a metal. I think it is nice of them to be willing to do that.

Cristina

I’ve tried to buy this subscription twice now and haven’t been able to because December and January sold out so fast. I think if a box is sold out in 1 day then they should be making way more products then they are now.

lily

Little Lace Box, January is already sold out. So glad I did not wait to get it.

I hope it is better then December box, I saw what was in it on online, I liked the November box sooo much better. Seemed more fun to me.

Barbie

Anyone feel like buying my January box from me? (39.99)

I got my Erin Condren planner in yesterday and saw the spoilers for LLB minutes later. It would just make more sense for me at this point to sell the box to someone that missed out and really loves this one.

I just looked at the pics…I would love the Dec box as I love pearls!

Barbie

LC if you would like to buy the box, or anyone else for that matter but you’d get first dibs, my e-mail is [email protected]

Thanks!

Barbie

Michelle or LC- If you would like to buy it for the 39.99 via Paypal, let me know. Michelle expressed interest first so if I don’t hear from her, LC I would consider you next.

Thanks!

Barbie

Correction: December box not January

michelle brown

Hey Barbie, I would be interested. What was in it?

Manon

I’d love to buy the January box, but it seems like its sold out already? Can someone fill us in on what’s up with the website?

elizabeth

I saw someones Dec. box and it looked terrible! There was only 4 items and they included free shipping as the 5th item, that’s terrible. The nov box looked so good but after I saw the dec. box, I will not sub to this.

raisin

Did it look terrible b/c of the actual items included in the box or b/c there were only 4 items? I saw the box on IG. I’m not a fan of pearls, but I think it was really well curated.

Elizabeth Thao

It was terrible because they including the free shipping as a 5th item. It was literally on the description card along with all the other items.

Kristy

Oh no, double post – so sorry!

Samantha

I think what has scared me the most about reading this thread is that it doesn’t look like my current addiction to all things boxes will get better as I get older, looks like I am hooked for life. 🙂

Kerry

Anyone else having trouble actually purchasing this? I keep receiving this error: “Sorry, we do not have enough “Monthly Little Lace Box Subscription” in stock to fulfill your order right now. Please try again in 10080 minutes or edit your cart and try again. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.” 🙁

Kristy

I’m hoping someone can help me out – I’m trying to sign up starting with January. I click “learn more’ under the January box description, sign on to secure server then it shows my cart with the December Box saying “sorry, we do not have enough boxes to fulfill your order. I don’t want to start with December – I want January! LBB peeps, please help!!

Kristy stevenson

Please, is anyone else having a hard time signing up for January? I’ve tried several times using the ” click for more info ” under the description of the Jan box. It takes me to the checkout than shoes a pic of the Dec box and says “I’m sorry, we do not have enough boxes in stock to fufill your order now”
Clearly it thinks I want the Dec box, I’m stuck! HELP LLB people!

jessica edwards

Dec. was my third box, and my least favorite. None of the items in the box I will use. LOVED October and November though!

Martha.Jimenez

But if they remove the disclaimer now, don’t you think the North Koreans have won?

CreativelySwank

bwahahahaha

chillybeans

Here’s the customer service thing…..if you use language that excludes anyone ( by age, taste etc) then people are going to feel…..excluded. And that’s not a good feeling, and not a successful business practice. Words can’t convey tone and people can take what you write, a whole lot of different ways. Anyone with half a brain (young, old whatever) will be reading your reviews/spoilers etc and making a decision based on what they see and read, and not based on disclaimers.
Congrats on such a successful business at such a young age!!!
