POPSUGAR Must Have x Neiman Marcus 2017 Box – Retail Value Reveal

I know a bunch of people were asking for the 1/2 off keurig codes. I will not be using mine so whoever sees this first is welcome to it 🙂

I am happy that I did not grab this box. I reallllllyyyyyyy wanted to! Niether hero item is for me.

I think the price on the placemats is fair. These are NM RVs, not TJ Maxx, but I think the jewlery item has a very inflated value. It is not like the designers other pieces, and seems to be inflated bc its an exclusive. I would think the $60 we would be paying was a bit high for this pieces if I saw them at the store- I would not have identified these as this designer AT ALL.

Idk maybe in person the jewelry looks better but to me it looks like something in my grandmother’s old costume jewelry.. that’s jut my opinion, not an insult to anyone. Not for me I guess if that’s the hero item I couldn’t even gift that. :/

Hey Liz,

Is the placemat smooth or can you feel the glitter? I know theres no top layer just really wondering how they sealed it on and if crumbs and things will make their home in it.

Wish they’d do the hero item. I’d bite to buy it now based on that or not. If I don’t know til it’s out, then I can’t decide yes or no by then. $250 is a lot to ask for a box these days.

The jewelry is cute and I might wear it or I’d gift it. The placemats I have age appropriate and non good use ideas for. But I could take or pass on the placemats. I suspect I’d wear the silver set (not together) once in awhile.

But I def wish they’d just give the largest item in box or full reveal.

I loved october’s box. It feels like it’s back to old popsugar prior to the big deal on Black Friday last year.

Yeah. This confirms that I absolutely do not want this box. $62 dollars for costume jewelry? Nope.

I always think I will buy this box until I see the spoilers. I really dislike the jewelry. I had pieces like this in 2008 and I can’t imagine wearing them now. The place mats might be nice for holiday parties, but who want only 4 place mats. Ridiculous. For anyone to use them, you need at least 6, better 8.

I think the box craze is going to fade at some point soon because the whole rv thing is totally ridiculous. Who cares if the rv for the box is 750.00 if part of that is a bunch of plastic placemats overpriced at a ludicrous 112.00? The jewelry is cute but overpriced. So – to each his own. I wait for spoilers and if I like them, regardless of stated rv, I buy the box. Boxes that make the most sense to me these days are the collectibles ones, like Pusheen, that mean a lot to the collector but little or nothing to the non-collector. I’ve given up most of my “lifestyle” boxes. I have enough useless junk lying around.

Liz I apologize if you’ve answered this question a thousand times and I’m missed it but do you know what the metal posts are on the earrings and are they very heavy? Thanks in advance!

Question for people who get popsugar limited edition boxes…
They charged me for the fall box 16 days ago and never sent it. When I contacted them they finally shipped it. Are they usually this flakey?
Makes we not want to buy from them again if it’s going to be a hassle. The order email had zero info on when they would ship.

I’m always curious about how PS decides what to spoil. These are both fine items that many people would be happy to receive but they’re definitely not exciting nor compelling me to take out my wallet. The BOS spoilers are always the hero item(s) which makes sense. Even the HRB spoiler today was a smart way of showing the direction of their Winter box. These NM spoilers are honestly just making me more ambivalent about the box. But maybe that’s just me.😬

As usual, retail “value” means absolutely nothing if the products are duds. When will these sub boxes learn that this tactic does not work on us sub addicts?!? lol

Hi Liz – is the glitter in the placemats laminated over? Or do these shed glitter?

The idea of having glitter anywhere near my food freaks me out – there is no chance eating tiny bits of metallic plastic pieces is good for you!

Thanks!

Liz,

I appreciate all the effort you put into these posts to keep us up to date. Could you find out if the pearls are genuine or faux?

Thanks!

I actually like the spoilers and would buy if I hadn’t been burned by PS selling LE boxes cheaper at a later date.

I hate ‘retail value’, it’s such a scam. That ‘value’, is what a retailer ‘may’ price an item at, or at what price the seller may want to get, but we all know, it doesn’t work like that. The placemats are cute and unique, but nobody would pay $112 for those, and I honestly could see those selling at like TJMaxx or Ross. That jewelry is costume jewelry, yeah, it looks decent enough, but seriously, it is not worth $195!!! It’s costume jewelry. Maybe some will love this box, but no way jose for me!!

Liz, do the placemats “shed” the glitter?

I am so torn between silver or gold. They both look so pretty. It sounds crazy but I almost wish there was just one choice to help me decide. However, I am glad we have a choice because jewelry is so personal.

I usually don’t like jewellery from subs but the necklace and earrings are so pretty!

I’m so torn. I really love first 2 spoilers. But $250 is a lot of money for a box. I really want full spoilers before spending that kind of money.

Don’t they already tell you the box is over $750? I think that makes it safe to narrow the value down to $751-799. If it were over $800 they would say that instead. This spoiler was fairly predictable.
