I must be exactly their target demographic: The contents of this box are exactly my speed and the sort of thing I would normally splurge on. I didn't have the funds to buy it when was available, though, so I'm bummed I did *not* get it.

 
I live in Cleveland too and it is ridiculous how long it takes to get to us.....Mine is now saying tomorrow. 12 days is just stupid. I would rather pay for shipping.

 
I have to say I am disapointed. I don't know what I was expecting... but... I don't know if I will do another luxury box.  I have been fine with the montly ones, I usually like mostly everything. This one, I don't know. Maybe it will grow on me once I see it.

 
I think my expectation was for a larger NUMBER of items, not necessarily the same number of items (more or less), just with higher (supposed) value.  I think I need to re-evaluate my PS subscription...  :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
If anyone is disappointed enough to let me buy it from them for $80, let me know!

  I love everything Tocca (the Bianca is one of my fragrances)! The cuff, lotion, chocolate, and Deborah Lippmann are all my type too! 

 
Edited to add spoiler

 
I'm excited for this box - I think I'll actually receive it tomorrow or Wednesday before I leave which is great!  Overall I'm pleased with the selection and can't wait to get the products in my hands (usually get more excited when I can see the items in-person and such). It will be interesting to see color/type variations as well!

 
It does not include the 

clutch
because I have no clue where to find that online.

oohhh I hope I get that color nail polish/lipstick... pretty!! 
 
Heh. I've never even subscribed to popsugar and the contents are almost exactly what I had in mind for the type of items they would feature for this luxury edition box, so I'm not entirely sure what others had in mind. With that said there's a lot of *nice* stuff in it, so it seems, just not a lot of things that I'd go out of my way to purchase.

Designer items were something I definitely didn't expect, they only way they would be economically feasible for this type of box would be an H&M or Target designer collab price point type thing.

 
I lasted about 30 seconds thinking I'd go spoiler-free. Ha. I will say I'm not OVERWHELMED, but I'll still enjoy the box.

For those who say they wouldn't have bought themselves some of these items -- isn't that kind of the point? To me, half the fun of these boxes is that you get things you wouldn't buy for yourself normally, but might really enjoy.

As far as I know, none of those have shipped yet!
I got an e-mail about mine today.  I believe it's set to arrive on 12/20??

 
Yeah but has it actually shipped? Because mine is showing the 20th too, based on shipment on the 14th which did not happen. So I am thinking the 23-24th now
 

 
I'm really excited about it.  Very geeked.  I will have fun with everything.  The way I look at it, I would have purchased at least two of the items listed at retail price anyway which would cover the cost of the box and so the rest of the items are a really fun bonus for me and definitely worth the money for the total package.  I'm super thankful for the spoiler pics and descriptions, thanks so much for posting them.  I have a feeling that I'll be even more satisfied once I get the box in my hands.  I was in the U.S. two days ago and was hoping to bring my Dec. box and luxe box back home with me this trip but will have to wait until February to actually see it in person.

I'll admit I was a bit hesitant after I first purchased it since it was a gamble and comforted myself with the thought, "Oh well, if it's not for me, I'm sure there is someone else who would appreciate it so I can always sell it to someone who missed out".  My reaction after seeing the box photo was, "Nope, this one's a keeper for me" with no hesitation.  I agree with Meaganola, I must be PopSugar's target demographic because I am really happy with everything.  Cool beans.

 
I'm super excited for this box, everything looks fabulous!! yes it was expensive and i may or may not purchase a luxury box in the future but its christmas and my bday this month so i treated myself. I haven't been disappointed with PS yet, each month is something new to look forward to.

 
I'm not getting it, and I'm fine with that. It would have been fine for me, but every item in that box could be picked up in a cheaper but still decent version for like $50 total. Bag of ghirardelli squares, some kind of eco lotion and hand wash, essie polish, H and M clutch, etc. 

 
I feel like the mugs added some value to the december box, bc those are really good at insulating beverages and it's kind of a unique item. 
 
BUT, with that said, these are the kind of things that people love to get as gifts and get all impressed about you spending more $ than a normal person on a candle, so if you have a sister, mom, mother in law etc, you could honestly wrap up individual items from this box and people would be like "oooo, Deborah Lippman duo! Tocca candle! Vosges chocolate!"
 
If it were like half these items and a few things that offered more practical value, like a moleskine planner/notebook and a pair of cashmere socks, I'd be all over it, but really it's kind of meh for me. 
 
Anyway that's my 2 cents.
