Hm I think I'll buy myself a gift account and then compare the two. Since I'm hitting the 3-mo mark on my current account, it'll be a good way to push me up to 200 points (since I only have 120 right now) so I can close out after that and I can just move all my stuff to the new account. I don't actually mind any of the things I've gotten in my boxes so far -- I would actually love repeat items -- so this would probably be good for me.

 
According to the facebook page everyone will be sent an email but they have not all been sent out yet. They recommended some people asking questions to check out www.goop.com

They gave an option for the gossip girl box too and it could be hit or miss! Some people will be happy with the decision and some will not!

 
I opted in for one of my accounts and plan to opt out for the other once I get the email. I'm such a sucker for these services, and hate the idea of "missing out" on something. Hopefully the goop box doesn't disappoint, the items on the site look like something I would buy, you know if I were Gwen.P rich. Lol

 
I think some of you are confused about what GOOP is, as was I when I first started reading about this. After checking out the website, It isn't really a brand, which is what I initially thought. Although they do collaborate with designers on clothing. It is more of a blog type site (see below). The bbox email even states that GOOP will be collaborating on a box including some of their "go to items", which could be any brand of their choosing that they recommend. Its possible that they may collaborate with birchbox on a color of polish or lipgloss, but from what I understand the GOOP box won't include GOOP products since they do not even create their own products. Right? 

"goop is a weekly publication delivered straight to your inbox offering exclusive limited edition collaborations, recipes, travel notes, shopping ideas and wellness tips for you, your wardrobe and your home."

 
So for everyone who is more familiar with Goop or has subscribed to it, have they mentioned beauty products or anything like that? Any sort of ideas as to the type of stuff the would recommend? I looked all around the site and found nothing about beauty products, so I'm torn about whether to get it or not because I'm not sure what types of products will be in the box. I'm afraid it's going to be a gift certificate for some crazy expensive clothes and food or something.

I don't think any of us are confused about with goop is. I think when one of us is talking about goop products not being right for us or we're really excited about getting a goop box we're not talking about goop branded products. I think we're all referring to the fact that goop almost always suggests higher end (read: way expensive) products so those products might not be right for some as they would like to afford the product if they like the sample, but for others the possibility of getting a high value box and new products is a nice break from some of the samples that Birchbox has been sending out.

from what I know, which is limited, goop puts out lists of things that they love or can't live without or something of that nature. I've seen some and they all revolve around clothing, but if this is a goop collaborated box then I'd guess that it would revolve around the same concept - skincare or makeup items goop can't live without.

Ok, so I spoke too soon! I did see some articles about French and British brands which look like some cool products. Maybe this is how they are going to transition to the partnership with Joliebox? Gwenyth is a pretty good source of info on European brands...

im torn because I feel like while goop stuff is super expensive (which equals expensive samples...) it might also mean smaller samples.

plus I looked around the goop site and nothing seems like anything I particularly want...but then again maybe itll be a really cool box that I don't want to miss out on

no idea what to do!
ME TOO what she said

I opted out of the Teen Vogue box, and I was happy with my box that month. Then again, it was my first month to subscribe to any sub boxes, so maybe I would feel differently now.

We still have almost 2 weeks til shipment, feels like forever...
Ditto to the Teen Vogue box! It was my first box and left a very good impression. I opted in, can't be worse than the last two fairly lousy boxes.

 
I had so many troubles with teen vogue. I opted in on one and out on the other and got two teen vogues. I was so upset. I'm going to take no action this time around and let it be a complete surprise. That way I can't be upset either way.

 
considering buying a gift account for myself with the 200 points my aunt has on her account she doesn't use anymore, so that way i could have my cake and eat it too.

can people review the products received in the boxes for gift accounts?
