Little Lace Box

[PrettyAndWitty]

Awww…I just read their accompanying letter. I'll be keeping the notecards and writing love letters to my hubby with them. 

Also, from the letter, they're perfectly aware that this isn't the caliber of box that they were originally planning on sending out, but the forces of nature (snowmagedon) and politics (strikes) forced them to send this one out instead. I like that they seem to be very transparent and honest.

I got truffles, original fudge topping, notecards, dancing goat hula bliss lotion and the infinity earrings, but the infinity earrings are broken!  The backing won't stay on one of the posts and falls off so if I try to wear them, I will lose the earring.  I have emailed them and told them I will send them back so they can see for themselves or else I would try to take a video and show what happens.  Hopefully, I won't have any problems securing a replacement.

Hmmm this must be an off month for them.   Seems some people got a shipping notice some did not ( I got an email saying my box shipped and should arrive friday however I did not receive the 2 emails I usually do regarding shipping and the order being complete.)  As for the box itself mine did not come with a letter /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  The earrings are pretty but they remind me of the ones the sent in the october box (the ones that looked like paper clips only difference is these have a clasp but similar styling ) Also were they supposed to come in on a card (I saw a pic on a blog and they were on a little card that had the brand name on it ) mine were just tossed in the bag.  I don't mind the contents of this box but it seems like it was just tossed into the box as quickly as possible.  I usually love their attention to detail and the note so I do find it disappointing.  Hopefully next box will blow us all away.

After you attach the picture to the post, just highlight the picture file name and click on the spoiler code. It will then put the picture inside the spoiler. Hope this helps. You can also manually input the spoiler codes on both side of the picture file name.

I thought i might be able to do it manually but wasn't sure.

Thank you so much!

Hmmm... can't figure out how to attach a picture either. Oh well... it's fine. lol!!

I'm not feeling the best so no pictures. I think they pulled a great box together despite everything.

My variations:

Spoiler

1. Orange Zest Fudge Sauce - This tastes good! We had it with icecream.Neither my husband or I could taste a strong orange taste which is what I was expecting since it is orange zest.

2. Beekman 1802 Bling Bath Salts - They smell so good that I want to take a bath now.

3. Gold hoop earrings.

I rec'd a shipping notice several days ago with no movement.  Today it finally updated and said it was leaving Honolulu???  I thought LLB was based in Florida.  I can't believe my box went to Hawaii without me...  Seriously though, I dying to know what variation I will receive and my box decides to go to the beach...

LOL! yep! these boxes get to have the best fun!

My box.

Sadly, I'm allergic to lavender so I cant use the bath salts or the lotion.  The earrings are sterling silver.

Just got my box! Here is my variation.

I am thrilled that I did not get the orange chocolate, lol.

I got the same box! I'm slightly disappointed that I got those earrings. If anyone would like to swap for any of the others, let me know. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Otherwise, I'll keep them. They're good quality. I wouldn't pay the RV for them, but they're unlike anything else I have and would go well with a more edgy outfit.

Oh man, I'm jealous that many of you have your boxes. Mine just arrived in my state last night according to myusps, but I'm thinking it might be Monday for me. I'm really dying to know what earrings I got (and hoping for earrings as I love them and don't love bracelets). Although I'm not really a gold person I wouldn't mind those gold hoops at all as I think they would go with the necklace from December.

Anyway, I'm really glad to hear that they closed subs for March. That shows some self awareness that getting the boxes out smoothly at the best quality possible should be the priority.

I was a little worried about Februay when they kept subs open, seemingly in response to all the complaints from people who couldn't sign up, given that their "thing" is small and new designers, so I think it's a good business decision on their part (and as an annual subber, I want them to keep prospering!)

By the way, I feel like a LLB groupie right now. I'm sitting here reading this board, sipping tea out of my tea set from January with my day designer open beside me. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Mine is STILL in Honolulu :sunshine:

This is my first box with them - what I don't understand is why if this box isn't up to snuff, why did they charge full price or not offer to do anything about it?  They deleted my questions on FB and won't answer my emails but I found the things I got cheaper online as well.

I read the note, but "sorry we can't give you a good box, but we'll charge you anyway" is not a great start.   ETA:  And I'm not really buying the excuses too much unless their pool of people to put things in the box is EXTREMELY small.  I have a home business that uses a lot of imports and had no problems with getting my things within a day or two.  They were striking intermittently, not lengthy.  The first shutdown wasn't until 2 weeks ago, well in advance of when they should have had items curated and in their possession to mail to us.

The title of the article in USA Today is here, not sure if I'm allowed to link it.  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

You don't think the fact that they were able to put this box together is doing something about it? It may not be a wow box but they certainly delivered. And to be fair, these makers of small businesses have a short time to produce hundreds of products, on top of regular orders they already receive, I'm sure that's no small feat. 

 

[MissKris17]

My interpretation of the letter was that it didn't match theme as they intended. I'm very happy with my box.

I can't believe how comfortable those earrings are. Earrings sometimes irritate my ears but these felt like I was wearing nothing at all.

Hi All! My sister got the infinity posts in silver which she likes but was hoping for the hoops in either silver or gold. If anybody would like to swap let me know.

I am ecstatic with my box, it was the exact variation I had my fingers crossed for. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
