While I think this is a nice box, I think the only must have for me is the clutch… Which a lot of people seem like they would like to get rid of!! I will be happy to take it off your hands 🙂

I’m trying to convince myself I don’t need *any* of this, but it really is a nice box. The colors are so soothing and neutral.
Liz, what’s the accent color on the throw? It looks like perhaps grey, or blue, or blue-grey…
Thanks for everything! 🙂

It’s a light grey!

I actually LOVE the women’s LE box and bought it with the code for a free December box! It seems kind of wasteful to receive two of the same box, but I’ll be gifting the scarves/necklaces from the December box and keeping both bowls and cupcake mixes. 🙂
I’m also planning on keeping everything from the holiday box for myself. I love neutral colors and Exfolikate, and have always wanted to try RMS Beauty. Even though someone said the value isn’t high, I will not only use everything in the box, but they are all things I would have purchased for myself.
I’m super excited as I basically spent $123 (I got the Black Friday deal) to get TWO December boxes and a Holiday box!
I hope that those who purchased the LE box before the GWP code can receive a free box. It only seems fair.

As tempting as this is, I’ve decided to give oui a try in lieu of this. I already have a 6 mo sub with them and i really like the dec spoilers and can’t wait to get it in a few days.

While these items are nice and the value is there, they just aren’t for me. I like the December box MUCH better. I don’t know….nothing really excites me. I don’t feel the need to jump on this the way I wanted to order the December box as soon as I saw the spoilers. The clutches are killing me. I never use them except at formal events and I don’t go to enough formal events to warrant owning as many clutches as these boxes seem to send out.

The bigger clutches work as ipad/tablet cases too:) I love a clutch for going out to dinner, when you don’t have room for a big purse at the table (and in many areas, hanging your bag from the back of your chair is an invite to pickpockets)

im with you. i have no use for clutches either. i think purses are sooo unique to each person that its hard to make people happy with that kind of item in a box

I like the blanket and clutch. I’m a little disappointed there was no jewelry or something else. One more big ticket item. I paid $100 and it’s a little over $200..when December was $39 dollars and $170 dollars. Not much incentive.

A very pretty box, and if I hadn’t bought the December Black Friday deal Id be tempted. But I mostly like the throw and clutch and I really don’t need either!

Gorgeous box! I think this box and the Dec box complement each other nicely. I can see pulling together a great look w/the scarf and necklace from Dec w/the clutch here. For those who say they don’t like or never use clutches — they’re great to throw into your everyday bag to organize things or to use as a grab n go when you’re just running out to lunch or errands and don’t want to lug your big bag.

Wow I love the women’s box! Loving the warm gold tones right now. Since there is a GWP I may cave in tonight and buy this!!!

I’m glad they got this box right. I think its very luxe too. I am really into golds and ivory lately, so this is perfect.

I actually love this box. Love the warm tones and a purse that is a neutral color yay! Besides the nail polish which I just have way too much of I love everything about it!

Is it just me or is The GWP code is upsetting anyone else? I ordered the her box weeks ago, I’m going to reach out to PS and see if they will honor it and apply it. It really is not fair to offer promotions that not everyone is able to take advantage of especially if it hasn’t shipped yet. Everyone who ordered the Holiday box should also receive a free December box. I may drop PS if they don’t make it right. After the NM being $50 cheaper on the nm site I feel burned by being one of their first to purchase their box. The need to give everyone the same treatment. PS can’t control NM promotions so I didn’t push that issue but this time this is a PS promotion and they have the power to fix it!

I completely agree – I ordered this box as soon as it came out because I wanted it by Christmas for gifts. I also ordered a 2nd December box with the $20 deal they had for the same reason. I didn’t wait to see if they would offer any better offers because I know they have a history of slow shipping. I’m pretty pissed about this promotion.

Yay! I emailed them and they actually wrote back immediately. They are going to honor the GWP and send me a free December box. Since I already have my regular sub and the $20 gift sub coming to me this means I’ll be getting 3 December boxes. I wish they would have just credited one I had already ordered but oh well. Now I’ll have more to gift 🙂

Let us know what they say to your e-mail. I wrote them a comment on their FB saying I saw this promotion, had already ordered a box, and can I get a free December box also? Im sure I will get either no response or something generic.. but it is very unfair to us loyal customers. (I’ve been with them since the beginning and through all of this, so have spent prob close to two grand on their company, it’s the least they could do.)

Update: I messaged them via FB and received a message back very quickly stating that they would honor the promo. They asked me to e-mail them, which I did, and I received the following response, which I’m pretty pleased about:
Thanks for reaching out. We would be more than happy to send you an additional December box and we hope that you enjoy. Please note that this is a one-time gift, so this will not create another subscription or extend your current one. Let us know if there is anything else we can help with.
Happy Holidays!

Agree – I’m a little frustrated that this promo came out AFTER my holiday box shipped – after all of their recent shenanigans it seems like they’re more focused on getting new customers than retaining old ones.
I had cancelled my subscription after several disappointing boxes in a row (in addition to shipping and customer service issues, etc.) and wasn’t too gutted about missing out when I saw the contents of the December box (November was my last box). However, I did cave and order the LE Her box and it’s annoying that the people who bought the LE Her box early are essentially being punished for their faith in PopSugar’s curation of these LE boxes!
I’m interested to see how this plays out but their customer service has been getting worse and worse IMO, which really bugs me even if the boxes are on an upward trend again.

Ditto me too!! Ugh I can’t buy anything until the end of the week though!

I can’t believe I caved; but I agree with you that the warm tones of this box make me happy, so I ordered one. My husband was definitely pleased with the men’s box so I picked that one up too… I figure they will be great valentine’s gifts since I assume that is when they will finally arrive 😉 (Still waiting for my November box….)

Pretty. Another scarf, another exfolikate—although it’s a full size, another (nicely packaged) candle. Surprised there’s not a blinged out waterbottle.

The GWP pushed me over the edge. I like the men’s box for both me and my husband. I have a big head and a lot of hair, so I’m hoping the beanie will fit me. I’m also going to keep the desk tray. Between the items in the special edition box and the December box, definitely worth the $100.

I just happen to love the women’s box! It is awesome and I can’t wait to get mine! Popsugar did a great job this year and the curation is awesome. Their last few boxes have been great! I loved Novembers and Decembers was too good to pass up and not get two of them! My daughter I know will love one! popsugar sure hit the nail on the head!

I just LOVE Loeffler Randall and am okay with getting another clutch because this one will literally go with any outfit. I also love all the metallics and neutral tones; so pretty! With the code for a free December box I think this was definitely worth it!

Me too! I thought it might be great after the first two spoilers, and then November and December’s boxes being so awesome. Crap, I don’t use clutches at all.

I can’t stand all of these clutches! It’s insane how many they send!
