When do they start showing summer boxes? This is my first time with it, just ordered the spring box, and FFF is already on summer boxes.

The vegan clutch/portfolio smells like a tire shop. $120 Vegan leather should not smell! This one (made in China) is so flimsy…feels like it’s made from thin rubber. And it does not hold a 13″ laptop. Nice to look at from a distance, though.

Really excited for this causebox!!! I personally am genuinely excited for all the items, especially the plant hanger!! How cute! Maybe it’s the inner hippie in me, but I like some of the 70s vibes of this box. Can’t wait!!

I’m surprised there is so much negativity here; it really does take all kinds but this box looks awesome to me. I don’t really have a need for the clutch, but it’s cute and I love all the “pockets” inside, and the rest just looks great. I came over here looking for more info on this box when I saw someone mention it in the FFF community. I just signed up for that one as an annual member and although I think I will like my 1st box (I haven’t received mine yet, but from unboxings I think I will be good), I really wish I had known about this box before committing to FFF for a year. I would switch in a minute now that I know more. Unless things change, when my FFF sub ends I will definitely try CAUSEBOX.

I love this box. I’m an annual member, and I like that I can customize their boxes. Every season I choose the colors I’d normally choose, then I log back in and go for the colors I’d never choose for full price, lol.
I wear mostly black, and I’m getting the pink portfolio and marigold scarf. 😳 I’m really excited.

I think I may try to buy the plant hangers off of some of the people who hate it,lol. It is soooo “70’s”, but as a child of the 70-80’s, it is so nostalgic for me. My first mother in law had the ones she put up – in the 70’s – in her house. In fact, although she passed away over a year ago, they are still up. Maybe she knew that they would make a comeback and passed the information into her family. My daughter will get sick a laugh and kick out of them that I would love to buy some to give to her. This will be my 2nd box. I recieved a winter box, as did my Mom. We both were pretty I pressed. She gave me her facial steaming stuff, and we talked about how she would steam versus how I do. Admittedly I am not happy with this box. I don’t understand why the people who are thrilled with it are becoming aggravated st the people who are not? The forum is ours to give our opinions of the box, our own reviews so to speak. Right? I mean that is all the lovers or haters are essentially doing. I could go over each item and say my opinion, but I do not have my box in hand to actually do it, so I will wait. What I do know is that if I had gone with my opinion of the first 3 items that were released on spoilers from Causebox I would not have allowed my subscription to renew. I just figured that if the people behind the box are honest and ethical then all of the items are in some way helping women help themselves. Now if I get my box, and I come to find out that is not the truth then I’ll be first in line for the class action suit. Y’all let me know how cheaply you would sell your plant holders!

At first I was like.. a macrame plant holder?! Lame. But then I realized I can buy a handcrafted piece of pottery at my local Farmers market and hang this on my front porch with seasonal plants. Won’t use the scarf, might use the clutch but everything else I am looking forward to seeing and trying in person. In fact I am considering jumping to an annual so I can customize the next box….

I so agree.
I know years ago when I had 12-15 sub boxes I became hard to please because none of it felt new and then I realized I was the problem not them. Subs are great for trying new things but after you’ve tried a large amount of what’s new on the market it becomes meh. The boxes aren’t going to get contracts for every item we all individually wish we could try so you see a lot of repeats from companies with products that are willing to launch them in subs. I’ve taken four years off of every box but one, Cairn. Things are starting to intrigue me again now, though I’m forever past the giddy excitement you get for everything 🙂

My goodness what’s with all the negativity!!!!
Please consider giving the items you don’t want to a women’s shelter, or homeless shelter or maybe a Friend that can’t afford the box.
This will be my second Causebox, I was completely thrilled with the Winter box the shawls were beautiful and warm.
For the price I won’t complain it’s a nice treat for me as some of the items I wouldn’t be able to get.
Please consider what your receiving and how you can repurpose it!!! Thank you

Agree with this sentiment. I feel like there is a lot of negativity, but this box looks pretty good to me. The macramé is unique, I’ve never gotten anything like this in a sub box. I’m personally thrilled with everything. Maybe a lot of people are on sub box overload and it’s hard for boxes to compete in this environment. Many things end up getting repeated in multiple boxes (scarves, clutches, beauty products). I would love to see more home items like the macramé and things they are not typical. A bowl for the fruit or a planter would be perfect!

Good lord! Did Causebox,Popsugar, FFF and Rachel Zoe all get together to come up with the worst Spring boxes they could think of?! I think alot of these companies are starting to get old and tired.

I agree – this box seems like an epic fail. However, people are gushing about how great it is on their FB page, so maybe we’re just harder to please? I don’t get it…

I don’t get how people seem to think everyone should have the same opinion or tastes. Not every box is going to fit you. There are plenty of subs I read about on this site that I would never buy. But that doesn’t mean everyone else must agree with me…or else they are just easy to please or getting paid off.
Jen
Or Causebox like many companies these days deletes anything not glowing or downright pays for positive reviews.
Taren
I think these are nice items for a box like FFF, or Popsugar, etc. I have countless subs (Literally-I’ve lost count!) and I sub to this box because the companies were supposed to be small, or support good causes, are sustainable, and more artisan affiliated- things of that nature. I LITERALLY wanted my money to go to good ‘causes’! I think a reason, I and many people are disappointed is because there are so many unsustainable materials, unnatural & harmful to the environment.
While the macrame plant holder IS a nice, unique idea, without a bowl to put in it, I have no use for this. They definitely should have included something to put in it, I believe many of the subscribers will find this of little use as well based on the comments. I will be able to use several of the items and it’s not a Bad box by any means, it’s just that I believe they can do better!
I hope Causebox is reading this thread, and if so: Causebox we don’t want things you can get in every other box! We want smaller businesses, sustainable, unique, environmentally friendly, NATURAL, organic, supporting good CAUSES, etc.
Petroleum is the OPPOSITE of supporting a good cause! Vegan leather is PLEATHER, no matter what name you give it.

I am so glad I cancelled!! Sorry, Causebox, but this is an epic fail in my opinion! The only thing I’d be at all interested in is the mask. I would love a macrame hanger, but that one is so basic, it looks like the stuff Walmart sells! No thank you!! Macrame can be beautiful; this is not.

I really like everything in this box. If you do not like do not buy and make everyone else feel bad

By the way I don’t like this box. I could easily say that it makes me feel bad that people are buying this box and liking it.
Jen
Why do you feel bad because someone you don’t even know doesn’t like the box? Are you in middle school still where you need the approval of the other girls?
Dani
She want making everyone else feel bad. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. You like the box– great. I don’t like the box–move on.
Kristin
I agree the only item that feels like causebox is the plant hanger. The rest feel like all the other boxes to me. I wished they had done an artisan bowl to go with the plant hanger that’s what I expect from causebox. I am just waiting for my annual subscription to run out then I have to say goodbye to causebox sadly.

I agree. This isn’t bad, but it feels like a run of the mill beauty box to me. Not what I wanted when I signed up for Causebox.

I feel like CauseBox is really focused on growing lately, and as a result, some changes had to be made. I had an annual subscription with them years ago (Summer 2016 through Spring 2017), and I wasn’t entirely happy with it. I loved supporting all the brands and good causes, but I got a lot of products that made me go “ummm… ok….” like a super frilly apron that I couldn’t even gift. Winter 2016 was awesome though, but had the overdone scarf and clutch combo (but with an actual leather clutch). I think they needing to start focusing on what might have more universal appeal if they hoped to grow. It’s nice to see some items in the box that pay homage to their roots though.

Wow, yikes. The 70s want their sub box back… total pass

Well, I’m not totally disappointed, but was hoping for something a little different. I’ve considered subbing to Causebox for a long time, because I have loved some of the older boxes. I really liked the portfolio, so decided to go for it! But there isn’t much else I’ll use, aside from the sleep mask.
Feel kind of “meh” about the plant hanger (highly agree having a cool terracotta planter to go with it would have been a great addition). I’m very particular about skincare, so may not use the mask or toner. Don’t hate the scarf and bracelet, but unlikely to wear them. Overall I’m happy to get the portfolio, and have friends who may enjoy the rest. But it does seem like the last one or two haven’t been quite up to par with some of their first boxes.

I like the items and purpose but the boxes always feel thin. I wish the hanger included a container.

I am glad I am not the only one that feels this is a very underwhelming box. I subbed for over a year and cancelled after the winter box. I did like that box, but felt the need to see what Spring would bring. Glad I waited. If you threw FFF or PopSugar or Zoe on this I wouldn’t be surprised at all to see those labels. Doesn’t feel like the artisan brands Causebox used to be known for. Too much synthetic, which isn’t great for the planet. Too run of the mill items. I think Causebox has gotten too big to support the more niche companies. Perhaps, a way to continue that would be offer 2 boxes each with the same hero items (and make them quality) and the rest are more niche items from companies.

What I really like about Causebox is they don’t over-inflate the value of their in-house brand products. They could have put any retail value on that plant hanger and they put a very fair value of $14 on it! Actually…when I search online most of the ones I find are $20-$28. If this were FFF that would be a “$49 plant hanger”! I’m glad that I’m an annual subscriber and that I’ll be getting this box!

A total miss for me. I was hoping for something exciting after a sad winter box. Not a single item I want/need. Money saved.
I have bought myself a set of 3 stacking rings from gorjana with a $25 discount code from Allure box – could not be happier. Jewelry is just too personal.

Well, it certainly looks like a lot of stuff. Honestly it’s not terrible but if someone showed me a photo of of all the items and asked me to guess the box I would for sure say FFF. It’s just not what I expect from Causebox.
