I'm getting the feeling that they are losing a lot of subscribers lately, so I'm assuming that they're running a promo of this month's box to get people back. I haven't been a long-time subscriber, but I think that this box will be up to par with the rest of the boxes, or they'll have another massive loss of subscribers, which I definitely don't think they can afford to do. I ordered a box for my mom so I'm trying to stay positive that it's a good one! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

They ran a 50% off code back in sept 2012- that was when we received the coveted brokendown scarf& a benefit palette plus more stuff. I don't think the50% off promo will effect the value at all.

Awesome to hear! I'm really tempted because I've never subbed to PS but have occasionally followed what was sent out.

Everything stayed the same. After receiving an email that my old subscripton has been closed, I received a 'welcome to popsugar must have' email and that I'm all signed up. They also gave me a new subscription number. It will ship in the beginning of Feb and will arrive 5-10 after it ships.
That's so interesting. I tried using my regular pop sugar account, and another e-mail address that I had only purchased the special edition summer box with, and it wouldn't let me either either! Hm I wonder why

Sometimes I think these companies send the BEST boxes when they have a big promo -- if they are losing subscribers, they want to lure people into the subscription with an awesome box. I would LOVE a coveted scarf again, just saying /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> It's cold and scarfs are my thing.

 

[Lolo22]

I'm in for Feb. with the 50% code /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  Yay!

It would be fun to get last year's Feb. box, but they just cant get the sizing right so I hope they seriously stay away from anything that would need sizing information.  I would like to see:

pheromone spray

silk pillowcase(s)

some kind of handmade, unusual chocolate treat

movie ticket vouchers

volumizing hair product

bubble bath

I've never tried PS due to it being rather hit and miss when I watch unboxings, but with the discount and potential for a cute Valentines theme... I caved. Not to mention delivery by Valentines Day!

I was shocked when I stumbled into that code!  I hope we all get a great box this month!

 

[casey anne]

I'm in!  I cancelled this sub about a year ago, but I'm excited to be getting the February box at such a great deal!

 

[gemstone]

I am confused about signing up, if I want february's box and not january's, do I uncheck the waitlist box?

Girl, I love the products you list every single time of what should be in the following month's box! It's always things I would never think of but that would be awesome to get...you should go work with PS and start curating boxes! 

 

[barbyechick]

I also think the promos have been heavy from a major loss of subbers, I know a lot of the ladies here really like the box generally (or else they wouldn't be subscribed lol) but as a general note they've fallen in pizazz a lot when comparing to the first few boxes and the curation hasn't been that great in comparison to the luxury boxes.

I subbed with my same old account and only for a box (ticked the gift box) and made sure to untick the waitlist box to not get January. I love your box idea @Lolo22, although instead of a pillowcase I'd love a gorgeous silk eye mask and I'm not sure what the reactions would be to pheromone spray exactly lol

 

[RachRDH]

I love all of ya'lls ideas! I would love some pamper items. I think that would be good if they are going to do any type of V-day theme. The wrap from last Februarys box looked so comfortable and cozy! I agree with something silk, that would be nice! Some high-end chocolate, something cozy, a nice bath item maybe? I hope they pull through with something awesome!

March is my last month of my sub and I have been contemplating extending/likely stopping. But now I will probably do it only if they offer a discounted code. Here's hoping bc I just CANNOT see myself paying $40 for these boxes right now. I have the funds, but sometimes the value is just not there at $40 for me, but it is definitely there in the $21-35 range, FOR ME anyways. I have not payed the full price for a box yet and have been pretty happy with the products and the value so far, but I would not have been too happy if I had payed $40 for, let's say, the October box. 

Here's hoping for a Spring or Summer code to fuel my PS addiction. 

 

All in all, I cannot WAIT FOR FEBRUARY'S BOX! I have a feeling it's going to be a good one ladies!!!

 

[sunsets]

I want it to be February already so the Feb. box can get here sooner!!!  I am over Jan., especially this "awesome" weather.    

Does anyone else feel like Popsugar is stepping up their PR game?  The Facebook page is updated more often, they sent us that survey regarding our thoughts on the Dec. box, they're offering promo codes like crazy…..It is appreciated and I hope they keep it up!  It will only help them to have a successful business and keep their subscribers.

I just bought my mom a valentines day box with the 50% off code- for $20 I just couldn't pass it up. Afterall... She's the best mommy in the world

Ditto! Love mommies /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />. I hope it's a great box for yours and mine!

 

[CheshireCookie]

::sigh::.....I couldn't resist....the ASK50 sucked me in......drat LOL I'm getting the Feb box!

 

[EevieK]

I unsubscribed back in December then resubscribed for the February box. I just logged in, signed up for monthly, used the code and that was it. It didn't ask me to add a new card or anything of the like. My subscription number did change.

I would love some bath bombs! I worked part time at Lush over the holidays and have a small stash of bath bombs under my sink. My stash is dwindling down, I'd love something similar in the Feb box!

Or spa socks. The reeeallly angelically soft ones that feel like they're made out of clouds. ughh. My feet are yearning for them in this crummy weather, haha.

Sounds like a lot of us had the same idea! Hopefully no thongs in this box, hahaha.
