CAUSEBOX Winter 2018 Box Spoiler #1 + Coupon!

😂

OMG, THANK YOU for saying that! The first thing I thought when I saw this is it looks like a bunch of turds. I’m sorry for saying it but it does. I mean brown for Xmas. That’s just wrong!! Put a little Christmas hat and a face on it. Thanks for making me smile!!

I think the paper is beautiful! I’m so excited to use it this season for friends and family gifts, especially for the adults!

Thank you! To me it looks like a big pile of stretched out doo doo. Hmmmm wonder what Dr Freud would think of me.

LOL you could always frame it hahaha

And I’d recomment FFF, just not this season. Go through the reviews for annual, estimate your own value on the items, then see which subscription surpasses the cost of entry. For me, FFF passes the bar every time, and the addon value far exceeds what I pay for my annual sub. This past box is not great, but I have $100 in addons with at least a $300 value coming with it. And hero items (like last winter’s ExfolKate) completely make it worthwhile.

I’d recommend PSMH. They are a bit more expensive, but the items are almost always high quality. I love the premise behind Causebox, but their shipping issues make me hesitant to buy another. Also, my pretty gray dot tote from the fall box has already broken. One of the straps fell clean off. However, this season I’m most interested in Happy Rebel. At $100, it’s more expensive than the other three, but their winter box offers customization for each item for all subscribers, not just annual.

They’re similar in the sense that they all incorporate a variety of personal care and lifestyle items. Beyond that, I see Causebox as different from the other two because of the fair trade, artisan aspect. Causebox is about empowering artisans who are using their craft to lift themselves out of poverty, or companies that use their profits to do that for others. No celebrity books in a Causebox.

Whether that makes them better, worse, or indifferent is up to you. I like the whole idea, but I’m not going to throw money at stuff I don’t want because of it. (Fortunately, I’m not – I liked my fall Causebox, and I’m perfectly OK with the tree-themed wrapping paper. Sure looking forward to the real spoilers though!)

I agree that FFF quality is lacking. I got all 3 of these for fall and my favorite was causebox. I’m gifting a few of the FFF items for Christmas, it’s the only reason I purchased. As far as PSMH, it’s quite a bit more expensive, and I’m only using a few things. When it was finally cool enough for a scarf, I reached for the Causebox scarf, the PSMH scarf is still in it’s packaging.

Lol I feel ya completely…. You made me laugh…

The big difference is Causebox tends to go with legit artists designing their boxes as opposed to the current employee/free clip art/ etc

It doesn’t seem any more odd to me than other subs announcing “themes” before the actual contents…like PSMH used to. Causebox has done this for years after they started making special box designs. Apparently no one cared much until they became more popular.

This. I’ve tried to order their boxes twice, and neither has been timely. The first I finally cancelled, and the second I am still waiting on.

You get one sheet of each colorway, so a total of 3.

Save it for next fall then or use it for other types of gifts. Not everyone celebrates Christmas anyway.

Dose not read holiday or winter to me, either.

I like them, too! The design looks Scandinavian to me.

I love the usefulness of this item and design too. I see how the leaves and browns seem more fall but I know I have 100 year old oak trees in my back yard that won’t be losing their brown leaves until at least January this year. LOL. Also, this is not really a first spoiler. It’s the “surprise” and subscribers got this email yesterday. The real spoiler is not until Monday. This is similar to how they released the postcard design for the summer box first since it was related to the box design.

I’m with you. I love the wrapping paper.

That was my initial thought too!!

😂😂

You guys are cracking me up with these comments. But aren’t these leaves? I mean maybe not, but that’s how I first saw them and thought it was kind of cute, but now I think I’d be hesitant to use it with all this negative feedback, lol.
Very true though, brown isn’t something I’d ever pick in wrapping paper, especially since by the time we get this it will be full-on Winter!!
