thank you!!!!!!

 
I get that PS is going to have a food item in every box but

this box almost has a Cravebox feel to it. 

The think thin bars and cheap mini marshmallows are big bummers for me.  I get that the they go with the hot chocolate bars, but they could have gone with something slightly higher end or at least somewhat unique.

Like these: http://www.williams-sonoma.com/products/mini-marshmallows-flavors/ or these: http://www.plushpuffs.com/collections/marshmallows

Hell even these would've been cool: http://www.traderjoes.com/products.asp

I think the Think Thin bars are awful.  I try to avoid a lot of soy, so these bars are a big time disappointment. 

I wish every box could be a luxury box.  Once again I'll be giving away the food items from my PS box.  The only time I didn't give away the food was the chocolate from the lux boxes.  I think in my survey indicated I wanted less food items.  I hope they'll consider it.

Also, which item is considered the must have "home" item?
 
It looks like most people are getting the hot-pink PopSugar exclusive color... I would have preferred the white one, but the one I would have really liked is the baby blue one - that's the color shown in the January review card.

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.
I get that, but I'd rather there be no voucher/coupon than one that I CAN'T use. Makes a lot of us feel like we're missing out on something. That's very different than having something that isn't everyone's style, or in a flavor/scent that everyone prefers, IMO.

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.
Where do you see that? Everything I'm seeing on the site refers to iPhones. Am I missing something?

 
kind of not feeling this box too much,if i didn't have a stability ball i'd probably like it alot more.i don't want to judge too harshly since i haven't received mine yet.i wasn't overly whelmed with last months either, but then i got it and loved it so we'll see.maybe the pilates ball is the end all be all of excercise balls.
 
 
Moths to a light bulb!!! LOL that's a perfect analogy :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  I haven' received my box yet, but you better believe it's the first thing I will look at ! I realize you can't please everyone, but neon freeking fuscia? in the winter? really?  Not on anyone in my neighborhood, hahhahhahahah.....Can we say tastfully neutral, please.  Or at least a color that people are wearing, like wine or last summers coral or turquoise?

I disagree--I think it's something you can trade or give to someone else. I don't think it adds value to the box (the box should be $100 w/out a coupon, and it is this month), but I don't mind it when I get a coupon for something that doesn't apply to me. I just ignore it or give it to someone.

 
Question, I am a monthly member of PopSugar MHB and I have never seen a survey...where are they?

How can I load a spoiler picture?
Click the "Insert Image" button in the editing bar (looks like a tiny picture of a house), then the "Upload Files.." button. To make it a spoiler, highlight the image after it's been uploaded into your post, then click the spoiler button to hide it just like you would with text.

I had a link emailed to me. The questions were about the Dec Box and the two Lux boxes.

Agreed. I have one -- but if I didn't, my brother, our dad, most of my department at work, and a good chunk of my friends all have one. I find it hard to believe that there is someone who doesn't have one single person in their life with one. I'm probably not going to use it for myself, but I'm having a hard time deciding who to give it to. (Also, fuchsia? Totally my preferred color when picking that sort of thing.)

They emailed a survey last week regarding the PopSugar December box and the luxury boxes. It was entitled something like "Take our PopSugar survey for a chance to win a $250 gift card" - maybe check your spam?

 
I'm bummed that the youknowwhat doesn't appear to be for my phone. The idea is pretty cool. Fortunately, pretty much everyone I know has an iPhone so maybe I'll see if someone wants it. I am bored with codes though, the Rent the Runway code went straight to my garbage. I'd rather they send out a unique $5 off PopSugar code than these so called vouchers. The only thing I would have wanted was the ___mint one or the canvaspop codes. Hope Feb will contain something cool.

I ended up using or giving away all of December's box (even the wipe, which I thought was a stupid thing to throw in) so maybe January's won't suck as much in reality as I think it does before receiving it. I'm sticking around for February regardless though.

 
I have a Samsung Galaxy S III which is on their list, but I HATE those clip on cases. They make the phone feel so cheap. BOO!

The watch is pretty cool, but I agree that the ball is useless without a DVD or something! I said if I wasn't happy with January I'd cancel, but I just know the second I do they are going to do an awesome box. This one I am kinda "meh" about.

If that's the case, you can either:

a. Use the mobile version of MUT by logging in on your phone and clicking the "Mobile" button instead of Desktop on the very bottom of the site. Then, find this thread and use the "reply" box to upload your picture. Click on the little house again (3rd button) and choose "upload from my device" and follow the steps (this works when I use my iPad or iPhone, but I can't speak to other devices). Then, to make it a spoiler, type

at the beginning of the post and
at the end - since there is no spoiler button on the mobile version of the site, you have to add it manually.

or b. Email the picture to yourself from your phone, download the image, then upload it to your post from your computer as explained above.

Let me know if you have any questions! I know there are a few steps but the process is easy :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
