Little Lace Box

They said on FB they will be emailing the codes out by the end of the week.

. The Canvas is unusual, but Shampoo/conditioner and a sports bottle I think not..... I have gotten 3 sports/infuser bottles in my boxes in the past year and loads of shampoo that is rarely useable for my hair nor for my Daughters. Let down again.

I agree that the shampoo/conditioner, and water bottle are repeats. However, box curators are not curating based on what people are receiving in other companies boxes. The more boxes we subscribe to, the more "repeats" there will be. I think there are quite a few folks who are suffering from box burnout. Too many boxes for too long. It's bound to happen. The canvas made this box unique. Is it my favorite, nah, not looking at the spoilers. But, the brands are new to me in the shampoo/conditioner, and I loved the last two boxes. These ladies are still newish to the sub box service, and I do think they have managed to make the boxes they have put out so far different in some way or another compared to others either by a specific item (the canvas), supporting small artisans (Whitley designs, Beekman 1802), or the theme (Downton Abbey). Just my opinion.

Oh, gotcha, thank you!  I never think to look on Facebook.

LLB (Feb) was my first subscription box since Popsugar's Resort Box last year (okay, other than FFF's winter box but I couldn't pass up half off!) So I'm not burnt out at this point but I do find the items boring .... safe, but boring. I liked how unique LLB's past boxes were but bath products just don't do it for me and I don't get how any of this fits into the theme. I've cancelled and am going to go back to PS for a little while but I'll keep an eye out on LLB.

I've only been trying Sub boxes for a year. At this point the contents have very little unique qualities. LLB has shown a uniqueness in their previous boxes that I believe drew most of us into subscribing. My first LLB box was last month's and I ended up selling it because they filled it with items that I was allergic to(had requested not to recieve...but I understand they can't cater to everyone) I would have enjoyed any of the previous boxes they have sent out, but these two months I have recieved do not have such an appeal and neither seem to meld with the theme we are given to anticipate the contents of the box.

Okay, I have the box in hand, judgement time, lol. Well, I am still underwhelmed, and I think it's IMHO, I don't get the theme and the product connection. When it said "Here Comes The Sun", I guess I thought, maybe gardening things, or something super bright, I don't know. I think if they would have called it, "Spa Day", or "Pamper Yourself", I would feel less of a disconnect. And, even with their explanation, I still don't know if I think the canvas goes with the theme, but I am excited for it. With all that being said, the products they sent are nice products, and I am excited to see what they have planned for "Nonna's Kitchen"

I received my box today and it was 100% spoiler free!! 

Kate Spade Water Bottle - My preppy heart loves all things Kate Spade, so this is a win for me. My bottle is clear with gold glitter. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> 

Olivia Full Size Hair Cleanser and Hair Masque - This brand is new to me and they look and smell luxe. I can't wait to use these! 

Spa Sea Sponge - Meh. This was the first thing I pulled out of the box and I totally went "huh? How is THIS here comes the sun?" I personally prefer loofas over sea sponges but my husband will use this. The $14 price that they're giving this seems excessive. Pretty sure I could buy one of these at Target for $5. 

12x12 Gallery Wrap Canvas - I was thinking recently that I wanted to get a canvas photo of my two little girls (although I want it to be a lot bigger than 12x12) so this is a win for me. 

This box was a big ol' win for me, personally. I think it's beyond awesome that my box shipped on Friday or Saturday from Florida and I received it TODAY in California. I love that there is a Kate Spade item and I'm hoping this means there will be other Kate Spade items in their shop that I can use my points on too. I don't think I've ever received a KS item in another sub box and definitely have not received a personalize canvas photo in another sub box either. Super fast shipping + unique items = 1 happy subscriber.

@@aweheck, that stinks about being allergic, and I would have been totally bummed. I also agree this months theme seems disjointed, I don't really understand (even with the letter) the theme, and the products they chose to go with it. Hopefully, next month will be better. It seems like March was a tough month for most sub boxes in one way or another.

Box Envy Alert, I wish I would have gotten the glitter bottle, lol. I got the turquoise one. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

@@fancyfarmer, yes I agree, all the boxes I follow, seemed to have had a difficult time... I was glad that I chose not to purchase them, kind of put all my anticipation in LLB. Yes I am disappointed, but on the brightside LOL, this box isn't going to give me migraines by having it in my home! The canvas is a Unique idea and I can hope (fingers crossed) that I don't recieve the pink bottle.... All my other sports containers are pink and that is a color that is a turn off color for me other than in nail polish and totally appropriate on little girls of course

I really want to see the prints! The rest of the box isn't exciting to me. But, that's the way it is with subs. There's more love for some than others. I'm still happy I have an annual subscription.

btw.... My holding out on viewing spoilers lasted about an hour. lol

Looks like you upload your own image! =)

This box was not what I expected, but I still like it.  Sure, I have gotten water bottles here and there but never a Kate Spade bottle...which is a brand fave for me!   The canvas print is really cool.

Oops - sorry about the double post

 

[roohound]

This is a big ol' box of meh to me. I know people love Kate Spade stuff but all I see is a fugly gold glitter overpriced water bottle that can't even go in the dishwasher. Maybe I wouldn't hate it as much if I got some other color besides gold glitter. I really dislike gold things - silver on the other hand I adore.

The shampoo and hair masque - more meh. Adding insult to injury, I would have loved the orange scented Torocco shampoo because I am addicted to citrus. The Olivia scent does zippo for me.

The sea sponge is ok, but again the price seems super inflated.

I do like the canvas - wish it was a little bigger than 12x12 especially at that price point.

I do like the idea of next month's theme but this will be do or die for LLB for me. I have been ok with the two boxes I've gotten but certainly not overwhelmingly excited. Seems like their theming, which was such a strong point for them in the past, has kind of gone by the wayside. I mean really - you have a theme of "here comes the sun" and we get shampoo, hair masque, and a water bottle?

Come on LLB - I've got to crack down on my subscription boxes and unless you guys knock next month out of the ballpark, you'll be first on the chopping block.

I would love to start reviewing items from this box, but I guess I will wait until my old point balance populates. They said the points should be up in our accounts this week. Did anyone's points populate yet on their account page?

Sponge – I was just about to buy a sea sponge, so they read my mind.

Shampoo/conditioner – I wish more subs sent shampoo and sets like this. 

Bottle – nice item, but pink isn't my colour, and it seems heavy. 

Print – Love it. Can't wait to see pics of what you all get! 

This is a hard box to judge because the best item (IMO) isn't in our hands yet. I'm happy with the box though. I may need to cancel (unrelated reasons) but I think overall they are getting better. I noticed they removed the 'idiot' comment from their FAQ too, so I think they're really listening to us.

Well, I guess I spoke to soon. I just looked at their Facebook page, and contrary to the email I had gotten from them, it says the points will be in our accounts by the end of March.

So was anyone else surprised to get a text message saying your box was on its way?  That was a first!

Sadly this is my least favorite LLb, its not that exciting when the biggest ticket item isn't in the box (the canvas) I hope I actually remember to redeem that.  Everything else was nice but kinda ordinary.  Kate Spade is a lovely brand but a $30 (rather small) water bottle  just seems a little much to me.  This box is lacking in the theme department for me it doesn't even nail the spa day they talk about in the letter and for me its definitely lacking the uniqueness LLB is known for( the canvas is different but again its not it the box so whats left is not very unique to me).  I do love next month's theme "Nonna' Kitchen" I am a kitchen gadget junkie and baking is my therapy so here s hoping its filled with some treasures.  While this wasnt my fave box its definitely useable and appreciated.  

Hope you ladies love your boxes!

OOh, is there a little lace trades thread? Looking for one of the items.

I received the gold/glitter water bottle. Kate Spade should probably stick to purses and shoes. I can hear my friends saying "Is that really Kate Spade? It looks like a knock off."
