On top of that the front of the sweater is snagged in two places so I can't even e-bay the darn thing.

You should write to them about the sweater and they should either replace it or send you something else.  No way that should be stuck with a defective item.

  I agree I would message them on facebook.  I have messaged them on there and they sometimes answer immediately.

does anyone else just have a label created and no movement on their box still?

You know, I wonder if we all shot ourselves in the foot by complaining about the variation in the boxes.  I loved having different colors/types of jewelry and items as we were able to swap for ones we liked better with others.  The one thing I personally loved about the first OuiPlease box was that even though I didn't like some of my items, there were so many different things to choose from to swap others for it made it really fun. 

I like the things in the 1.2 box, but there is not much variability at all so we will all end up swapping for items from other boxes I guess rather than swapping for items from OuiPlease because everyone got basically the same thing.  Maybe I am in the minority, and perhaps others can chime in if you liked the variation so the OuiPlease people can adjust for next box.

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE LOVE OuiPlease and they are new so perhaps their concept with the first box was right on with variation as there are hundreds of boxes with no variability what so ever so that is what appealed to me with this one.  Anyhooooo, just my opinion for what its worth!

Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur is where I am from. Aix is a college town and the streets are filled with all kinds of pubs and artist places. The necklace that we got is something that I have seen in that area sold in the market stands. The area is Known for its lavender fields and olive and wine orchards. I cannot wait to see what will be in the next box. I am sure some soap and hand cream. Callissons are traditional candy of Provence. they are like marzipan with icing on them. Many herbs are from this area too so they might be in the box ( probably not though) Perfume and items made of olive wood too. Looking forward to the next box. Scarf is big have to figure out how to wear it /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I'm so jelly that you have a home in the south of France. I back-packed through Europe when I was 21 for 2 months and the south of France was one of my favorite places. We stayed in Nice but spent a lot of time in Cannes- while we were there it was the Cannes film festival, so there was a lot of action. It's such a beautiful area all around-- the people, the beaches, everything. I went back to Europe in recent years and did the whole Amalfi coast and cinque Terre - which was fabulous but I still want to make it back to the south of France. I think the people in France were the kindest in my travels, they were so helpful & they really wanted us (me & my best girl friend at the time) to see their country and experience all it has to offer. Ahhhh.. & then there's the french men.. Oooooh lala .... /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I'm with you, I like having all the variations. This one still did have slight variations which was fun.

Sooooooooo disappointed. My box contained the white sweater (the sweater is not my personal taste but ya know whatever it's a mystery box) but in a size medium, I'm an x-small or small. On top of that the front of the sweater is snagged in two places so I can't even e-bay the darn thing. The total value of my box is $401 (the sweater being valued at $200), which I wouldn't ordinarily complain about except that the value of the last box that I received was $370ish (the bulk of that one coming from a sweatshirt from Les Petites) when it was promised to be more than $400.

I received Myriam K and Sothys products in my previous box and this box and two sweaters that I'll never wear. Even though I'm a full fledged Francophile I'm really starting to wonder where the value of this sub is for me. My money might be better spent just finding a local French boutique and buying something that I'm really in love with. 

Sorry to be a negative Nelly. I hope everyone else is thoroughly enjoying their boxes! 

I have a suspicion that all of the smaller girls are getting sweaters while all of us.. uhhh super busty ladies are getting scarves. lol

If you aren't happy with the sweaters I would maybe suggest changing your size to the largest size to avoid the sweaters. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I have movement but there are major delays w/ my package that are NOT being updated on the Fed Ex site.

You may want to call Fed Ex and talk to an agent and they can tell you the real status.

They have been hit with a lot of delays and mix ups due to the weather.

Good luck!

I know - it's a crazy value (plus I also received the Nominoe which I moved aside for the caramels :wub:  ). 

I received the white sweater and green scarf (I think since it's a variation with blue - the tag has it as Kaki).

Also, I totally get what you're saying about the variations.  It was fun to think of what I could trade for things I wanted and oohh and aahhh over other peoples boxes.  I think I like it how they are doing it now with most things the same but a few differences.

It's amazing to see all these unboxings and read all of your pictures and thoughts, good and bad. I really wish I was getting this box! It's looks like a really great box even though I wouldn't use all the items in it. I would love to try the Sothys Mascara and the tea of course. I love French tea.The scarf and the sweater sound fun too although it's too hot here to wear either right now. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20"> Maybe I need to take the plunge for next month.
