POPSUGAR Gilt City Day Date Box – FULL SPOILERS!

Well, not that this takes the sting out of a box with items one doesn’t want… I actually purchased and gave several of the nail kits to men (yes MEN), and they all loved them -seriously. Told them to put in their car or desk like a first aid kit. (I was getting tired of being asked by men I work with etc., if I had a nail file or clippers.)

Who Am I game – I had two. Put one in the break room at the office, and have found folks sitting there eating and playing their own version of it. Gave the second one to my doctor’s office for their break room..and got a big thank you the next time I came in. So, you never know..

I started a “Take One-Leave One” basket in the break room which gets put away every night. Put things like the nail polish, the second lunchbox I had, actually 12 items the first round with Post-it notes attached stating NEW. It started a big chain on trading and now there’s a basket for smaller items and a box for bigger. Example – many don’t want the headsets that come w/their iPhones so those go in the basket, and get taken out as quickly as they go in. Men will take something to bring to their gf/wife or daughter(s), and bring back something else. It’s been actually quite cool..and that scarf that doesn’t work for you (or you have multiples of the same) might make someone else’s day. Maybe you get a new insulated bottle from the swap basket, or a new set of Poppin pens in pink like I recently did. Just an idea of a way to get rid of the items that you don’t need/want, and perhaps in the process start a swap cycle at work. Heck, getting a new jacket that you like and WILL wear plus a necklace, in exchange for dropping off two swans, nail polish, a nail kit & a trucker hat works for me! Builds some camaraderie, and yes there will always be someone who’ll take 3 items and never bring a single thing, just like there will be someone who brings two lamps (new/newer) and doesn’t take anything.

Anything of real value, if you choose to not use as a gift, then those can be sold on eBay, Poshmark, etc., that is if you wish to deal with that. The swap basket/box has worked well for for me. I have received a number of excellent items that were worth more than the $ I paid for the items in my PSMH box. I have been asked by many seeing me put items in the basket (items that I didn’t want from PSMH) if I am SURE that I want to put those XYZ items in. I actually put three swans in at once, and had someone go BONKERS over the swans & took all three. They brought back the next day some really awesome items in exchange..so they obviously didn’t know a thing about these darn PSMH swans! ; )

Something else to consider and not many think of this..retirement homes/assisted living places, as most of them have seniors on seriously fixed/low incomes. There’s one near me where they play bingo every weekend. I have stayed during the times that I brought over items to be used as prizes to ensure that the staff didn’t snag them. Most of the older folks there are beyond thrilled to get something like one of these items as a prize, and it cost them $.25 to play 5 games of bingo. They’re so thrilled because they they have a gift to give to their grandchildren that they otherwise wouldn’t have had the money to buy. PLUS..bonus is that most of these places will give you a donation receipt if you ask.

So, while I’m THRILLED that FOMO didn’t get me with these last two boxes, if I HAD purchased them, the above is exactly where my items would be going. That way I know that I would probably get something better from the swap basket (huge deal now) at the office, and also I would help make an elderly person really happy too. Win-Win…

I LOVE the idea of using those pineapple pins as pushpins! Slapping head – why didn’t I think of that? I must have 4-6+ of those in a box somewhere!

Here’s hoping the new quarterly box will be worth it!

Oh cool, I only buy boxes when there is a special deal. I don’t have anything in here so this is a good one for me. I love the bag and the scarves (looked up online!)! A bunch of other things I can regift. The game looks fun and FYI, the Pacifica wipes are great to keep in the car. I doubt they are dried out. I’ve purchased them at ULTA and they aren’t “wet” they are less wet then a baby wipe. Have faith ladies. Thanks for posting!

Thank you for listing the spoilers! I don’t have most of these so I’m excited to be getting this box! Relieved!

are you interested in selling your box?

Mine is 5.3

Mine is 5.1 lbs shipping from NY. Due to arrive 3/24.

Mine is 4.7lbs also so I am wondering the same thing

Has anyone heard about spoilers for the Spring Break box?

Any word on the Spring Break Popsugar box that is on Gilt?

A lot of venues are changing the rules on women bringing purses into the venue and stating purses must be clear. I have seen it a lot with college stadiums. It would be handy to have a clear purse on hand for that.

I found using this bag made going through security at events super smooth. It is just small enough that they don’t think they need to dig through it and because it’s clear, they assume you wouldn’t carry anything not allowed in it. It is great.

Noooo! Don’t drop it in the lake! Your gonna need it for the bonfire later!

I plan to sit on the book during my date so it’ll make me look taller.

The really good one was the mother’s day box with the Derek Lam Perfume set and a few other actually awesome items and it was like $either $35 or $45 but also sold out in like a half hour.

Such a good idea! Swapping the pin was pointless, so I’m going to do this! 🙂

That is such a good idea! I have a few of those pineapples, too. I gave a couple away, but they are mostly sitting in an envelope. This would be such a good use for them!

Same here. Fool me once, shame on you….

Hi Beth, if you want the Lisa Sugar Book, I have it, will be happy to swap!
Caren

Hi there, mine will be available if you’re interested. My email is llopez1121 at gmail

I’m almost 40 and I have all of those items.
I never received the napkins, but swapped for them. They are cheesy, but useful.
I have the pin on my jean jacket…with plenty of other pins.
I have the red purse, but I gave it to my 7 year old to carry to restaurants with things to do. I also swapped for more. Two have been gifts filled with “stuff” already. I might use the last one for myself when we go to Disneyland, since I want an easy security check!

Nothing in the boxes is truly for everyone…but you can make them work, gift or swap. I never buy mystery boxes because you know PS is just dumping old stuff.

Beth!! I agree. They are completely disrespecting the loyal customers. Not cool at all. Put out good items not ones your trying to get rid of. People don’t want them.

They are probably trying to reach a new audience. There is a whole new community outside the MSA!!!! These products will be new to that audience.

Agreed! I don’t know how they keep finding more of some of these things. They’ve done clearance sales before and “sold out” on some of these items, even though they clearly have more!

I think they would keep doing this as long as they have the old crappy stock and it keeps selling out. It’s a brilliant move on their part. People will just have to get over FOMO and not buy. Then I believe they will stop selling. I did dodge a bullet on this one, but that’s just because it was out of stock when I got to it.

Spring Break Box

Nevermind i looked on my account it the “Spring Break Box” I hope that one is better & no expired Products or I will complain if anything is Expired. **Sigh** 🤔 Even tho we did get this at a nice discount if anything is expired we won’t be able to use it & down goes the Value.. that’s my main concern.

Spring break

D I have the bag listed as well 🙂

I also have the bag available, listed on my swap page (linked above), if you’re interested. 🙂

I will gladly swap the camera bag. Im not on swaps but sheiladolanpetitataol.com if you are interested. I have lots of things from various boxes.

Good way to look at it!
