I agree with this!  I actually LOVE the box.  

I think that the candle and lotion make it seem kind of "ehhh" to a lot of folks, especially since these are items that are easily bought at MUCH cheaper prices for similar quality, but those are things I definitely appreciate for exactly that reason: I'd never spend that much on these items for myself, so I look at this box as getting things at a heavy discount (even without the lotion and candle, the box more than makes up for the $100, which the gold cuff alone costs more than).  Also, I'm curious if there will be a variety of clutches, so that'll be interesting to see as more folks get their boxes.
I can't wait for mine to come in the mail!  Soon, yay!

I am kicking myself for not get the HIM for ME.

 Exactly! I cannot wait to see what they get;-) I think it will be the best of three, they need to draw more demographic.

ooo I peeked and I think I am going to be very happy when this box arrives

So I am pretty happy with the contents of this box. It is in my apartment office and they closed early for a Christmas party, so I can't pick it up until tomorrow! Bah! I felt like this box would be like Oprah's Favorite Things...expensive stuff we have never heard of or would never buy ourselves because we aren't as rich as Oprah. So I'm not disappointed at all.

I am pretty happy with the DL, as it is something I have been lusting over! Can't wait to see the rest.

Exactly! I agree 100% and I'm happy I bought it!
 
I considered buying this, but decided I couldn't gamble with $100 dollars like I can with 10-20.  At first when I saw the contents I agreed that I wouldn't spend $100 dollars on this particular box of things, because I get similar quality items for cheaper... but then I broke it down a bit.

On my shelf I have a $25 bottle of Aveda lotion that I squirrel away.  I've got a stash of $15 bars of soap from Lush.  I've spent $20 on a Yankee Candle many times, and I don't even like them that much!  I've bought myself a $10 chocolate bar on many occasions because I'm in a bad mood. (BTW Vosges is a legitimately fantastic chocolate brand) To be honest,  I've spent $5 on a single fancy truffle more than once.  I own several Deborah Lippman polishes, which retail at $15  So actually, I've spent MORE money on comparable products without realizing it, probably because I didn't do it at once.  
So really, these are exactly the kind of luxury products I do splash out on (just not all the time). Since I have a hard time justifying non-essential purchases, I stick to the same luxury brands for those times, and this would have been a great way to try something different, for me at least.

 
I am okay with it I guess. I will be putting the cuff and jewelmint clutch up for trade though because I won't use either of those!

 
I peeked because I'm travelling and couldn't open my box till Jan although it's now lying at my department office already... I love everything in the box and I'm so happy I didn't buy the DL duo yet (I almost did 2 days ago). Yay for Luxury box!

 
I'm okay with it, but not super excited.

Most of the stuff seems like things you would buy for a gift exchange or something. They don't seem luxurious to me at all. I mean sorry, but the brands in there are pretty easily accessible and the products are ones that I've seen a million times.

The deborah lipman set is nice enough, but I don't like lipsticks. I have a gazillion candles. The chocolates are okay but they're not a wow factor, they're like something you could get at Urban Outfitters.
The cuff is cute but I can't wear cuffs.
I really really hope I do not get that jewelmint clutch because i think it's hideous. I saw it on the website and thought it was so ugly. It would have been way better if they had allowed us to choose our own style on that. Most of that stuff is going to be regifted.
 
So my regular boxes are not scheduled to be until the 21st, when they shipped on the 10th. 11 days! And now it looks like the luxe box will arrive at the same time. AND the men's boxes have not shipped yet! YEESH!
 

 
I got a shipment confirmation and a tracking number for my Male box. It will be here Thursday! They are sending those by Fed Ex ground. My husband is really excited.

I'm happy with the box! Not super amazing, but nice stuff!
 

 
I posted pictures and a review on my blog.

I will most likely be ebaying some stuff or seeing if anyone wants to trade.

I am not overjoyed by I am not totally disappointed.

[SIZE=11pt]- Jewelmint Clutch


They sent out a variety of these items, so it looks like I will have some spoilers left when I crack mine open after all![/SIZE]
 
SPOILER SPOILER I have never done a spoiler collapse so I apologize in advance if I didn't do it right!!! That clutch is super cute. Wonder if everyone got the same one? Anybody want to sell/trade theirs? PM me :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
