Received my summer welcome box. Got it late due to FedEx not releasing it. Love all the items in it. Wow. So worth it and am looking forward the fall box even more anxiously now☺️

Karine (somehow cannot reply to your comment), thanks for posting that facial scrub has aluminium bead, in fact, that’s the 1st ingredients. I just removed my choice for the scrub.

This might just be me but is it annoying to anyone else how home goods centered this box is? As a college student I don’t exactly imagine myself sitting in my dorm with my bathrobe and Bamboo serve set. The water bottle, cotton rounds, and scrub are kind of nice, I just wish there were other options, I know FFF has more of that kind of stuff but the ethical aspect of Causebox inspired me more than the superficial feeling of FFF did.

I like the home based box but maybe they should give an option for those who feel the way you do Mia.

I really enjoy the mix of this box. I’m out of college and in my own home, so I find all of the items really useful. I purchase environmentally friendly, handmade items whenever I can afford to, so this box makes it affordable without having to choose specific things. Also, when I was in college, the old robe my grandma gave me was my best friend, but I know some people don’t like using robes.

I actually LOOOVVEEE how home centered it is. Especially now that I spend so much time at home this is absolutely perfect and I love home wares in boxes. My only complaint is the lack of fall vibes. This is very neutral or summer leaning. But I do really like this box. The value isn’t exactly there this season like summer was. But I’m certainly still very content and am loving that the bamboo serve set is included!

Agreed! There are so many other boxes for fun things like fab fit fun. I usually find most of the items in subscription services to be useless. After reviewing several Causebox boxes I see myself using every item. I can’t wait to get my box!

Melody

I’m far from a college student but I completely agree with you. I’m ok with the practical items but I don’t want a subscription box for those sorts of things. I want it for the fun things. I know Causebox has had more of what I would consider fun stuff in the past so I’m hoping this box is a bit of a fluke and the next boxes will be more fun. Bit the ethics in it keep me with CB. I’m also subscribed to FFF but I’m going to let that one expire and keep going with this one.

I went with the towels. You can find a bunch of options for waffle robes on Amazon for great prices but it’s really difficult to get waffle weave towels without spending over $50.

Causebox and Bathen need to release the sizing on that robe. The two robes listed on the Bathen website measure 26” and 28“ across the back waist.

I’m on the fence about going annual to take a chance on the robe or skipping/cancelling. I don’t need hand wash bamboo despot it being pretty.

I saw a screenshot somewhere, where someone had asked the manufacturer about sizing for this particular robe and they responded by saying up to size 16.

On instagram Causebox said “The Waffle Bathrobe is a one-size fits many piece, designed with the diversity of our community in mind. With a 42″ length, 50″ seam-to-seam waist, 21” drop sleeve, and 72” belt, this luxuriously soft piece will easily make everyday feel like a spa day! “

Lauralee

Thanks Lauren! That seems to have a waist just a little smaller than the robes available on their website but still ample.

MR

I’m so confused by this rollout!! Not all of the items have been announced yet but customisation is open already? I’ve been checking Instagram obsessively to find out the last two items. I’m pretty bummed out that the last choice item hasn’t been announced there yet 😭 How am I supposed to decide with zero information 🤣 thank you MSA for giving me all the info on these three products!

Marissa

This is my first customized box and I’m pretty excited! I can’t choose between the towels and robe though.. and oh my gosh then having to decide the color! What’s everyone doing? A nice robe would be great but I’m think towels would be more useful to me. Ugh so hard to decide!

I actually really like this box. But only if i could choose for the robe and lantern. But i cant afford to pay fora full year up front right now. Just went thru almost $250 in add-ons. At FFF in their never-ending sales. Lol

Hmm… I’m considering canceling this sub. The only two items I am interested in are the robe in either color, which I may not get, and the plant kit. I can’t imagine using the other 4 items, though I guess they could be used as gifts for people. Thoughts?

Reply ButtonReply

Melody

I think there will be plenty of people looking to trade those items. If you’re on FB, there’s a Causebox group dedicated to buying and trading CB items. As far as gifting goes, I would be happy to receive the cutting board, lantern, infuser bottle, or cuff as a gift. It would probably be odd to give muscle gel or scrub as a gift, but I do love that muscle rub so I’d even be happy with that! But it probably takes the right person to appreciate that, or the facial rounds.

I agree I’m not really impressed by the options of this month’s box. I’m glad you posted that there is a FB group where people buy and trade CB items.

Customization is now open – I’m confused though: I thought there would be 6 items, and the total RV of the items posted is still short of the $250 mark. I’m guessing the last item will be an everybody gets item? Or are these five items all we should expect? Does anyone know?

Reply ButtonReply

Kay

The last item won’t be spoiled until after boxes start shipping.

Reply ButtonReply

Elizabeth

Yeah there’s still one item to go. There should be 6 items, and we’re only at 5. I was a bit confused by this one too. For the Summer Welcome Box, customization didn’t open until after all items were revealed, and also it was like a few weeks I think after the last item was revealed. With this box, we still haven’t seen all the items, and customization is already open. Also, with the Summer Welcome Box, it took a while for all items to be revealed. But this time it’s like 5 of the items were revealed within 2 weeks. I don’t know, strange. It seems kind of like they’re rushing to get the spoilers out. I signed up for annual with the summer welcome box. I like the fact that I get to customize everything and know exactly what I’m getting.

I used to be with Boxycharm before and oh boy was that a disaster. Way too many variations, and they don’t use their beauty quizzes so they will send you concealer and foundation that isn’t for your skin tone. Not to mention bait and switch you with items they show spoilers for that you don’t get, instead getting something else not even mentioned or shown anywhere. Plus you only got to choose 1 item for the whole box. They also make claims like you’ll get 6-7 items in Premium, but it’s NEVER 7, only ever 6. Same with their luxe box – claims you’ll get 8-9 items, but it’s NEVER 9. They also said you would get all full-size items, and instead they’ve given out mini items numerous times. You can’t even safely buy stuff in their add-on or pop-up sales, because you’ll pay for it all up front, but then a month or longer goes by and you still don’t have anything after they claim they shipped it out, only to get a refund 2 months later and none of the products you bought. Not to mention losing money because of the exchange rate. Plus they have seriously horrible customer service. Ugh. Causebox is just such a fresh of air compared to them.

Melissa

Thanks, Elizabeth!

Melissa

And, also – I can’t decide between the cuff and the facial scrub – anyone have advice?

I also can’t decide between the towels and the robe…but that’s probably my own struggle, lol.

I’m excited for this box. First time I’m confident I’ll use everything in a box!

Reply ButtonReply

Elizabeth

I’m getting the robe, the cotton rounds, the Tease bottle, and I think either the cuff or the muscle gel. I looked up reviews on the products and there are a bunch of good reviews for the muscle gel. And it seems easy to find it online if I decide to repurchase. I couldn’t find any real reviews for the scrub though, and very little info about it online. Plus the fact that it’s a face scrub and I don’t know how much I’d want to scrub something on my face especially since I have a lot of redness on my face already – I thought it would just be safer to go with the muscle gel or cuff. If you don’t have that issue though, you might like the scrub.

I’ve been having sore ankles and calves from my new job, so I figure the muscle gel would come in handy. Although I do also think the rose gold cuff is really pretty, and I don’t have anything that’s rose gold. I’m still a little torn between those two. But I figure that I for sure would use the muscle gel, whereas I’m not sure how often I’d wear the cuff. I’d also worry about the rose gold possibly flaking off down the road and not looking so pretty and therefore go unused. I wish it would have been sterling silver, as I wear a lot of silver. I looked up other jewellery the company makes too and it seems they use brass as their main metal, which is a turn off for me. So yeah I think I’ll go with the muscle gel.

Melissa

I’m still counting five items, Chelsea? Hopefully there is one more as the value doesn’t seem to add up to $250.
robe/towels
basil/makeup pads
serving board set
bottle/lantern
scrub/gel/cuff

Good call on the scrub, Karine! I think I just wanted an item I can picture myself using while wearing the robe, lol. I have a scrub coming from FFF so I’ll just move it to this box when it gets here, lol. I do think the cuff is really pretty and I don’t have very much rose gold, so it’s definitely an item I could get use out of (I started in to rose gold after getting the three earring stud set from CB in maybe last year’s Winter box and I’m obsessed with them – my favorite earrings – so I had to get some rose gold items to go with (nice excuse, huh? 🙂 ).

Julie

Idk if the scrub is good or not but I really don’t like the practice of fake or shady reviews. This company conveniently has almost all of its reviews on this specific product posted on the same day, yesterday. The day that this choice was announced. Statistical odds of that happening are slim to none which means it was most likely employees. I hate when companies do that and have worked at a company that did that before. That’s enough for me to hard pass on that item.

Karine

Hi,
I’ll personally go for the cuff because the facial scrub has aluminium beads which isn’t good for the environment when washed off, it also has fragrance. As for between the towels and the robe, I’m having a hard time to choose too! I spend more time in my bathrobe than in my towels though, so I’m gonna go with the robe! 🙂 I’m hoping that we’re going to get at least one last thing, as I feel like the past boxes had better value.

Chelsea

The last item is the bamboo cutting boards and wooden spoons that everyone gets.

NaviHeart

I’m excited for this box, I upgraded to annual to choose the Charcoal robe.
Cotton rounds, I’m going to use these all the time. Tea infuser, I will add this to my huge collection.
I chose the Rose gold cuff. I kept going back and forth on the cuff vs the scrub. That looks like a nice scrub and I will probably swap for it.
I love the cutting board set.
Everything is useful to me and all of them are reusable instead of being products that run out and expire!

At first glance I was not feeling this box. However… I’m getting really excited to have my at home spa time. I need some pampering. Covid w 2 LO’s and now virtual learning in the fall. This box is all about me. No… I would not necessarily go out and buy these things individually. But that’s what I love about these boxes. They allow me to try items that I necessarily wouldn’t gravitate to. I’m an annual and feel that’s the best thing for your buck. You get to choose. I’m also a member of FFF as well. Both are completely different and both serve their purpose. I do love Causebox though…. i think the quality and value is there. I can’t say that about other boxes. I’m picking the mint robe, cotton rounds, tea infuser, and face scrub. Hoping the last item is either slippers or a hair drying turban. Here’s to wishful thinking. Overall extremely happy!!! Love the theme!

For anyone who is curious the Aromatherapy Associates De-Stress Muscle Gel is FANTASTIC!
I got it from fff several years back & for a while I didn’t even use it. Boy was that my mistake! I’m super picky about muscle gels & this one has become my HG!(the only one I use) It’s more natural which I love & even being so it has stayed good for a very, very long time. You get a lot of product & you don’t need much so it will last you a while. Just be sure to shake it first before using! (It really makes a difference with the cooling aspect of it!)

I have fibromyalgia & this helps so much. It doesn’t irritate my nerves, it’s actually one of the very few things that can helps my sore muscles.

If you get it in the fall box maybe give it a try & don’t write it off like I did! It really surprised me in a good way! Just wanted to give my .2 cents that nobody asked for but hopefully will help someone or at least encourage you if you do get it in your box! 🙂

Oh my gosh thank you for sharing! This is my first customization box, and my first thought was to get the muscle gel because of my post-surgery ankle and chronic neck/back pain. I was worried it may not be effective as it states though. I really appreciate hearing a firsthand account. I’m going for it now 🙂

AnnaMarie

Marissa-
Congrats on this being your 1st customized box! I hope you really enjoy everything in it-especially the gel! I do hope it helps your ankle post surgery & neck & back pain too! Which reminds me I should put some on my neck tonight! Lol. Everybody is different but I really do hope it helps you too!! 🙂

Janet

Thank you fur your details about how to use the product. I, too had an old one that I just opened last night and love it!! I did not think to shake it, though, so tonight, I’ll hopefully get an even better experience for my sprained ankle!! I went with the facial cleaner, since I already have this.

Reply ButtonReply

AnnaMarie

Janet I’m glad I could hopefully help at least one person! It takes a lot for me to really praise a product. I know many people might be bummed to get a muscle gel (like I was when I first got it) but hopefully hearing at least some people are big fans might make it feel more of an exciting item to receive especially if there seasonal & didn’t get to pick!
I’m not annual & I think I’m going to skip this box …just to many variables & the chance of getting what I would want is to low. Hopefully they’ll have more intro boxes & I can snag the gel in one of those or market place. I almost bought a new one but I think I’ll wait to try to get it cheaper!
I hope your ankle feels better soon!! 🙂

I don’t love or need everything in this Fall Box, do bummed I missed out on the Summer Box so a hard box to follow. But, this would be my 2nd time signing up for an annual because the most important thing about this box is in its name – the CAUSE. I love getting something for myself while supporting the artist behind the box design, small business owners, women, communities in less privileged countries, the environment, and overall giving back at the same time. Annual is the best way to go since it’s the only way you can customize, get first dibs on the boxes or even choose to skip this one. I think a win-win overall 🙂 peace & love

Amy

My 2 cents: I know there are a lot of unhappy folks with this box, and I wish they would be offering two robe sizes so they’d be more size inclusive.

I view these boxes as ways to get treats I wouldn’t normally, to expose myself to new things, and to get Christmas shopping done. A ton of my FFF stuff is going to tweens as Christmas gifts this year — so much of it seems to skew younger than I am, and not the nicest quality. (I keep saying my FFF stuff is “fine for Zoom.” 🙂 )

I’ve only gotten 3 boxes from Causebox (2 intros and a summer) but I love the quality, the feeling of specialness, and the values in terms of supporting charitable causes that I really respect. I never thought I’d love the bowls this summer, but bought a second set because I love them. When I got the diffuser I thought “gross, ginger,” but I love the white tea scent anyway. I thought “essential oils — what would I do with them?” and turns out my husband loves them. I thought the lids would be stupid, but I gave a set from an intro box to my MIL and she wants to give them to her quilting group for Christmas. So even the things I don’t love from these boxes initially turn out to be loved by someone in my family. I don’t expect them to nail everything based on my (questionable!) taste and preferences, but overall I think Causebox does a great job.

Tolin

@Lauren I entirely agree — “one size” clothing always makes me look like a child playing dress up in mommy’s closet. It’s not just a question of having to hem something; the garments are unwearable unless you’re okay with looking ridiculous. Getting things tailored to that extent costs far more than the price of the item, and it still never looks right.

Moonjock1

Meh, as a plus size woman and avid gardener, there’s just nothing in this box for me. To each their own, but consciously avoiding plus size women is enough for me to never subscribe again.

Reply ButtonReply

Lauren

If you really want to be size inclusive, then you’d also need a “petite” option, as lots of us tiny people can’t fit into “regular size” either (comically large does not equal “fit”). I think it then becomes too expensive and complicated which is why they have a towel option. For $8-9 an item I just don’t think you can expect that level of customization.

Jenn

Moonjock1 I completely agree with you. The best thing in the box seems to be the robe, but most likely will not fit my plus size. I wouldn’t think it would be too difficult to have a “regular size” option and also a “plus size.” Oh well. This will be my last box anyway. I am not renewing. Maybe there is a subscription box out there somewhere that caters to plus sized women?

Kristin

I completely agree with you. I never had fff but my mom and grandmother did so I got to see what was in the boxes and the quality was not the greatest and definitely not worth the price they say the items are worth (the robe like item for example was apparently worth $60 was was extremely thin and not well made). I just signed up for causebox this summer (summer welcome box) and love everything (except the serum. Just not a fan of the company). It is all well made and well worth the subscription. I actually love that there isn’t a lot of cosmetic products too. So excited for this box. I get people’s point about the robe in this box but at the same time it would be hard for causebox to know how much of each size to order as I’m sure they are order well in advance.

I received the Summer Box 2 and absolutely loved it. LOVED IT!

This box, no so much. I think the robes/towels look very thin and won’t withstand 1 wash. I don’t like it enough to even think of prepaying. It’s a shame. I have really wanted to live this box for years. There is always something that is off putting.
