POPSUGAR Must Have January 2013 Box

[rmj1585]

Long time lurker, first time poster because of the watch. When I got it, I thought the gap between the bottom of the watch head and the strap was weird, but I know the bands are interchangable, so I thought I could fix it when I opened it. I was wrong because I tried adjusting the strap, and the gap is still there. Anyone else have this problem? If so, were you able to fix it? Thanks...

The ball is great if you also have back problems. I am going to show it to my hubby since his back has been acting up lately.

My box finally arrived ... my item that comes in different colors is white.  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  was really hoping for pink or even black.

Newbie question here (feel free to delete / move /etc) -- I'm trying to figure out where the "trade" boards are? I searched and saw some trade boards for birchbox -- is there one specifically for PopSugar?

Buy/Sell/Trade section. Scroll down to about the middle of the page and there is all the info on how to use the trade boards. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to message me or another moderator.

I got blue...was hoping for black, boo!  Off to try to figure out the trade boards...

I just created an account because I actually felt like posting. I LOVE reading the threads here and this is my second PopSugar box. I'm only posting because that watch is the WORST thing I have ever received. I want to send it back to them. Why the heck does it light up? I've wanted a watch for MONTHS and I forgot to cancel my subscription but I wasn't too upset when i saw that a watch was coming in this box. I thought maybe someone that was an adult was picking out items for this box. Especially considering that this box is not made for children. I am so upset about this box and I will be writing the company. I am just so dissapointed. It would be different if it was a taste thing but this is a watch that is huge, neon, and FLASHES LIGHTS. It can't be used for anything. I've never gotten something so off point. I will probably never subscribe again.

I got my box today.

I'm not overly thrilled by the ball, however, I totally love the watch and I didn't expect too.  I think it's fun that it lights up and is oversized and brightly colored.  Then again, I spend most of my days with a 4 year-old and a 9 month-old.  They love it /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />.

Hi Everyone, have been following for a few months and decided to just jump in!  Got my box today, joined in October and bought Luxury box.  This is a so-so month.  Got the Black watch, would love to trade.  I'll go over to the buy/sell/trade area.  Still getting the hang of this

Edit: Please keep all trading discussion in the Buy/Sell/Trade section

I got the blue one, and it does not flash. I emailed Popsugar about it.

I received the hot pink one, and I am very, *very* happy because that is my color.  It looks like this particular color was made just for PopSugar since there's a card in there indicating it's a PS exclusive, and that makes me happy for some reason.  But mine doesn't light up, either!  I was really looking forward to that functionality because I leave for work before 6am, and a flashing watch would be one more way to ensure I attract bus drivers' attention.  I'll be sending email about that as well as asking about the C-gram voucher because I didn't get that, and I was really looking forward to that probably most of all out of everything in the box.

Agree! I would have loved this item then. Right now it will also be helpful bc I am nursing my kid and end up contorting myself a lot to make sure he's at a good angle. So I can smooth out the kinks /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Sorry my phone didn't quote properly but I was writing about pregnant women and the fitness item. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

What model of remix is the watch? I could not find it on their website; wanted to see the different colored straps they had for it

 

[Shauna999]

I think it's called the timebomb

I finally received my Box but I have to say that I am SO dissapointed. Why on earth are there THREE different food items? I had been able to stay mainly spoiler free this month for once and I think that made this box all the more disappointing. The

Spoiler

stability ball

isn't practical for me and I don't intend to ever use it. I was one of the few who had no problem with the bracelet in Novembers box so this

Spoiler

watch

looks absolutely ridiculous on me. The face takes up my entire wrist, and irregardless of the fit I think it looks childish especially when it lights up. I'll probably stick it out another month but boy am I glad I didn't sign up for 6 months like I intended to.

 

[brokenship]

Double post. Sorry!

I think the item-in-different-colors is fun.  I don't expect a box full of stuff that can necessarily be taken/worn to work.  Just like I have work clothes and weekend clothes.  This item will be fun with a casual outfit or I may even wear it to work one Friday.  I am underwhelmed by this box overall even though I've been wanting the "biggest item" in the box for awhile and just never got around to buying one.  While I know the retail value of everything is surely over the $35 I paid for it ... idk if it is worth much more than $35 to me personally.  It's still a fun surprise to get in the mail once a month and I've definitely received things I wouldn't find on my own.

The "exclusive" card was in my white one as well.

I got my Jan box today and just cancelled my subscription.  It's not that I thought the box was horrible, but just disappointing to me.  Most of the items won't be used, save for a couple.  I wasn't thrilled with Dec either, although I did end up giving away most of the box as Christmas gifts.  I think Popsugar is good for some people, but it's not worth the money for me at this point.  I'm going to try Hammock Pack next month, so I'm excited about that.  I like most of what I've seen sent in the past, so this might take the place of PS.  Or if they both aren't great, maybe I'll switch altogether and spoil my dogs instead with BarkBox.

So.....I got something a little extra in my box.....a razor!!!!!



And yes, the actual razor was sticking out as you can kind of see on the left.  Good thing I was actually looking before sticking my hand in to take things out of the box, because had I just went grabbing, I could have seriously injured myself.  Anyone have the email address for Popsugar?  They should be aware of the carelessness of their packers.  

And aside from this, I didn't even care for this box.  Any codes out there besides the $5 off?  Not sure if this box is worth $37.
