Neiman Marcus POPSUGAR Must Have Box Spoiler

I think this is necklace in the spoiler I received for this box

So the $$$ is in the box. If only I LIKED it or the tray 🙁

Another spoiler is out. Freddie Borgo Small Chain Tassel Pendant Necklace. I feel the same as I did after the first spoiler. Not even mildly persuaded to bite.

Easy pass for me, I don’t really like the tray. Plus I can’t spend $250 on one box, that’s too big of a risk. $100 is a high gamble for me, I’ve only done it a few times. Thank god I dodged a bullet with this box and the Luxor special edition one.

I am in love with this spoiler! It matches the coasters I just found at TJMaxx for $8!

Not sure if this code will work on this box, but I got a NM code in my email for $50 off a $200 purchase with code SSLOVENM. It only said it was good on full-priced merchandise only. There was no expiry date listed in the email.

My FOMO has been cured! This isn’t something I want or need, and not easily giftable IMO since people’s taste in home decor differs so widely. I’ll hold out for the Holiday Box. PS is on a roll with the $100 LE Boxes lately. Here’s hoping for a fantastic holiday box!

This brand is very expensive and luxe. It’s a gorgeous tray. I usually buy things like this for full price when decorating. Looking forward to seeing what else is in the box.
I purchased last years box and after seeing the spoilers was a little disappointed but once I received the items loved everything in the box. We used everything and I enjoy the items. I have a place in mind for this tray. Goes with everything. Somewhere I read that it’s a medium sized tray. Beautiful design. If it for some reason wouldn’t work would gift it. would make a lovely gift.

So far it’s a win for me. Glad I got the box. Hopefully the rest holds up.

Wow. Tray is gorgeous and would work in most homes with just about any color scheme. Smart choice. My favorite swap box items at this point are definitely home decor items. Can’t to see what else is included in this box.

I’m so glad I didn’t buy this box. $250 is a lot to spend. I caved and bought it last year and wish I didn’t once it went on sale. Glad a lot of you are pleased though. 🙂

I love this!! These items are always so expensive on RueLaLa when I look, so its a great addition to the box and something that is versatile/neutral enough to go in any room.

It’s on Walmart’s site being sold and shipped through another retailer (wayfair). Also on Walmart’s web site offered through other retailers are Dolce&Gabbana, Vivienne Westwood and other high end brands, so that doesn’t really negate the value IMO…

Okay.

The Mela Artisans products being sold on Walmart.com are actually being sold via Walmart’s amazon-esque retail partnerships. These products are actually being sold by Wayfair.com. There are some Mela *Novelty* items also being sold at Walmart that have nothing to do with this company.

The Mela Artisans company is all about supporting global artisans; they are providing a way for these people to support themselves by practicing their local crafts. Meanwhile they are helping to preserve these traditional local techniques.

These kinds of businesses are helping people in these regions earn reasonable income without having to resort to, say, poaching local wildlife or any number of other unsavory jobs.

Brands like this are pretty much the polar opposite of what one typically finds at Walmart.

Having said all of that, I absolutely understand why someone who is vegan would want nothing to do with this. As with leather, bone is unquestionably an animal product.

Personally, I am not vegan. IMO, if an animal is being killed for its meat, I would much prefer its other bits be utilized in ways that keep them out of landfills. Because that just piles on the harm.

End PSA. 😉

Here’s more info – it is sold in a number of shops:

I got the spoiler email too. This is just ok, I am glad I dodged this bullet. I bought last year and not really thrilled about it. I have been a very loyal Neiman Marcus customer for 30 years, never heard of this brand, both online and in store. I did find it on Walmart though after reading the comments here. If the box has a value of $600, this is about 25% of the value. So with tax, this comes out to like $65. Will you buy this for $65? Not me. Saying my money for the holiday box. So far has not been disappointed at the $100 LEs.

Definitely not for me, but I am still interested and liking forward to see what else is in the box!

oooh man! I wish this was the Indigo color though, I’d LOVE it in my bedroom!

I am a Neiman Marcus fanatic! And, I love this tray! I broke down and bought it! Now, if I find out they are selling it at NM I am going to flip the f-out. I literally live 5 minutes from NM! Please promise me this will not be sold in store????

Love the tray and looking forward to seeing what else is in the box. It’s not enough to make me buy it though.

I love the design & color of the tray, I’ve been wanting a breakfast tray & this one looks perfect! I don’t know how I feel about it being made of bone tho…

I actually had this in my shopping cart when I went to resub to PopSugarMH. Very glad I backed out. I am determined to find a luxury box worthy of my $200 and I don’t think this is it.

This is my first NM box and I had (nervously) ordered it before the first spoiler. I was relieved to see the tray; I really like it! No way would I have paid the full retail price for it, but for me that’s the whole idea behind these boxes–getting to try higher end products I’d have otherwise never known about, and at a discount! It’s still a splurge, but a more justifiable one. I looked at the reviews of the 2013 and 2014 boxes, and there were no items that I flat out didn’t like!

I was really interested in the tray until I saw it was made of bone. Boo.

I think this is really lovely. I’m not jumping out of my chair with excitement, but I’m definitely pleased.

I do kind of wonder what the deal is with the trays, though. They’re everywhere! Good thing I like them.

This is ok, but no way I would ever purchase this at full price. Def not splurging on the NM/PSMH yet.. Key word yet ☺️.. Anyone know how much the estimate RV of the box will be?
