POPSUGAR Must Have July 2013

[Tigerlilly6309]

I joined Pop Sugar after seeing the photos and reviews of the June box.   I don't think the July box is bad, but it just doesn't wow me.   I'm on the wait list for July, and will be getting the August box.  I'm hoping there will be something for the fall in the August box, like another scarf.  I also wouldn't mind getting a nice candle or something for my home.  I don't mind getting food items in a box.  I'm always happy to try something new, even if its a bag of cookies!

I think where the coupons are concerned - if you sign up at gorjana gginsider you get a 30% off (at least I did) and you get a coupon for $25 off if you refer a friend who makes a purchase. When I went to the sure for this month it asked me to sign up for a newsletter to get 15% off my first purchase.

Site not sure. The site for the card from this months box

I'm actually a bit excited for the ice cube tray. I bought one for myself 3 months ago, and another one for my dad for father's day because he loved mine so much. I was wanting a second one but finding it hard to justify. Yeah, it's only $6, but $6 for an ice cube tray?

I don't care for supergoop, just not one of my favourite brands out of the ones I've tried.

I'm, for now, even a bit excited about the necklace. There are some DIY things I've wanted to try but never wanted to buy a junky looking chain for (no offense to those who like it intended; I'd just look like a salvage yard dog with one on). Anyway, mine wil probably be used for something similar to these.

That is a great idea! If you decide to do it would it be possible to show us how, and maybe what to use? You just made me feel a little better about this box.



That is such a great idea!  Thanks for posting...

So, I was at Nordstrom today and they had a chain identical to the rose gold chain (except it was gold) but the size, double chain, etc was the same...so I tried it on. It's not terrible but I'm not sure I'd ever wear it. My friend seems to think it will look prettier in the rose gold. I think I am going to thread some ribbon through one or both of the chains and get a little crafty with mine before I render it unwearable. Thanks for posting the idea

 Haha, well I have to admit that my idea of feminine/classy is a bit different from most ladies. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Can't lie. I am pretty bummed out by this months box! I've been wanting to try PS for many months, and last month was the tipping point! It's not a horrible box, I will probably get some use/regift most everything in the box. Just wish I didn't have to break out my crafting skills to be able to use that necklace! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I'm not gonna lie, I kind of like pic 1 and 3...I would do that look!   The descriptions I have heard about the chains scare me a bit, lol

 Put it in your trunk for an emergency tow chain.

This is what I posted on PopSugar Must Haves FB:

        I've seen the July box. Oh I had given credit that since months of advice planning go into the boxes, that the 1 Year Anniversary Box would be spectacular. I was so sadly mistaken. I suppose that a certain item is to be worn with that hideous watch from a previous box so it can be a full on Ghetto "look". Maybe hang the watch from the chain for a Flavr-Flav costume? Or maybe repurposed as a tow chain if a car breaks down.

           Months of planning, and the best you can do is Super Goop?? Send whatever y'all are smoking in the next box so we can maybe "get" where the thinking is coming from. I apologize to everyone that I told that the Anniversary Box would be incredible. I lied. I didn't mean to lie, but there it is.

OMG,  You did not!??  I am laughing so hard I'm crying and my dog is howling at me!   If I could Favorite you on this site, I would!!   You are hilarious...they will probably give you a year free,  lol  You have made my day!

I can't wait to get my box.  I think it'll be here Tuesday. 

Anyone who's not thrilled with your box/items, let me know.  I'd be up for working out a deal! 

 

[bluelion]

Not that I think it's a great box or anything, but did they actually advertise it as an Anniversary box? I feel like they never really made that distinction, so I wouldn't really expect it to stand out in that way unless they mentioned it was going to be extra special for that reason.

It would've been nice to see a tote bag of some kind. And enough with the ice cube trays! They sent ice cube trays with the For Him luxury box from Christmas (which I loved the first time), and they're useful and all once in a while, but not exciting anymore. I don't like any of these sub boxes sending out repeat items.
 

 

[AshJs3]

They never said anything about a "super special anniversary box." People have just been making that up! I also think you should reserve judgement until you actually have the box in your hands. I doubt this box will be my favorite, but I think bashing without actually seeing anything in person is ridiculous.

     I have freedom of speech and the right to air my opinions. If you disagree with my opinion, fine that is your right, but that doesn't change the fact that it is not "wrong:" for me to have done so. Nor is it "rude" to have an opinion just from spoilers. I've seen chains like that at Claire's (much cheaper as well), I also regrettably received an extremely similar chain from Wantable.  I know my own taste perfectly well, and what look those chains brings to my mind. I have never been been impressed with any of the numerous Super Goop items to date.  This is not a sub with variations, so it's not is if I will be pleasantly surprised when it gets here. For my $35 I am extremely let down this month. If you love this stuff, Bless your heart and more power to you.

    There is a feature that allows you to block member's posts if you would like to block mine.

 

[neblinosa]

Seriously?? Popsugar sends out same box (tiny variation) to EVERY subscriber. I can't think of ONE product that the entire population would thumbs up. Imagine 4-6. This sub is a huge gamble. There is no promise of personalization. You may love some. You may like some. You may hate some. In my opinion, if you don't like those chances, don't sub.

I can't believe I received my box already. It is usually a 14 days from ship. I was charged on the 1st and I had it on Saturday.  It was OK. I will the flavor of the tea, but I haven't tried it yet. I feel the same as most everybody on the necklace. I probably will never wear it. I would like to see them send some things in silver, but I don't know I really have not been all that thrilled with their jewelery  pieces. I would have expected a better box with it being summer, more choices I guess. I debate every month whether to cancel this box or not.  It is hit or miss like someone else said.
