at least one person got a white one...

i still don't have an ETA on my box and i'm excited! so glad we finally have some spoilers.

I have no issue with any part of this box, given the spoiler info provided by my MUT peeps,  That includes the snackies provided   I think the little treats make for some nice instant gratification upon opening the box, and none if it is stuff I have tried.

How do you write a post to put it under a spoiler? Thanks

I'm not feeling this box, but it's not PS's fault. I have/or have tried a lot of the stuff coming this month. It will make nice gifts at least. PS items have turned into my new go to gift giving thing. I appreciate that they send quality items each time. I was really hoping for a workout DVD or a entry level fitbit type gadget.

There is a button in the editing bar that looks like a black word bubble - all you have to do is type your post, highlight the text you would like to set as a spoiler, then click that button. Alternately, you can hide all the text in your post by clicking the spoiler button before you start typing. To check that the spoiler has been set, you can choose to "preview" the post (via the preview button) before hitting the "submit" button. Let me know if this helps or if you need more info!

I'm ok with the idea of these items, but I wish it was something slightly higher end and not stuff I could easily pick up at my local big box. That being said you've got me stoked on the idea of bringing the one fitness item to work! So that makes me a lot more pleased with the overall package.

Now that they're going through all of those surveys maybe feb and march will be more exciting. It is really hard to appeal to so many people. At least they're asking us what we want for next time.

haha pimp fushia... yeah, it isn't practical for my line of work (teaching) the kids would be like moths to a light bulb and would follow it around the classroom and not me.

I would have preferred a fitness watch (one that has a heart rate monitor, pedometer, etc.) or something like a fitbit product to a standard watch.

I am seriously annoyed by the Casetagram voucher. Great for those who have an iPhone, but completely useless for the rest of us.

This bugs me too. If they are going to send something specific to 1-2 phone models, they should either be sending the phone also (a little out of price range I know) or have us take a survey on what devices we own, and send the people who don't have the device an alternate item. 

 
Edit to add quoted text

 

[Beauty-Flawed]

I agree Casetagram has a very limited number of models, it's not just for Iphones though there are also the most popular Samsung models which often get overlooked by other companies. I guess they get an extra point from me because of the Samsung models but they do lack detailed pictures of what the product actually looks like and that bugs me more than anything. Just a bunch of fancy pics of the back not the overall case.

I don't think the intention of those coupons are to add value to a box. Its like PS selling advertising to their subscriber base.. It only adds value to the box of you get a product at no cost from that company. The items in the box are validly worth the price of the box and meets their discription value of $100. But as others have said, you won't use everything in every box in most cases, and you cannot reach everyone's interest in a single box. EVEN If they put keys to a  new car. it may not be for the model you like  I like this months box  because it coincides with my goals this year. You can choose to unsubscibe or stick with it because next month you probably will like some of the items.

From a survey point, I hope they never include skin care products; every box outside of PS does already and I consider this a lifestyle box. This is only my second month, but other than the first box IMO, the others have been pretty great.
