Ahh, one second I'm like, "YEAH!! DO IT!!" and then I'm like, "Uhhhh...what if it's a box full of nada?" and then the other side of me is like, "It's NEIMAN MARCUS! NOT NADA!"
I say don't do it!  There will be so many amazing deals this holiday season.  Don't tie up all your money in one box of mystery items!

No way am I spending $250 on this!  I'm going to give the Nina Garcia box a try instead.

 

[boxnewbie]

Aaah self control! I'm Not buying it. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> but then again, no... I'll wait..so temptinggg

 

[stasi7]

$250 is just too much for me to spend right now. I've already signed up for the Nina Garcia box which I'm SO looking forward to!!

 

[katiew]

Watching from the sidelines on this one... $250 on surprises is just too much for me!

 

[dayzeek]

Yeah, I think I'll muse on it today at work..

Neiman Marcus or Nina Garcia.

I didn't realize her box was still available.

And I'm getting one tonight, lmfao!

Or a kindle and one JA item...

I have the feeling the $600 value will be inflated with $100 makeup items etc. but for people who regularly drop $250 on a shirt this is a no brainer.

Hope you all really love it!
My thoughts exactly, I'd rather pick up something from the JA menagerie and pocket the difference. The timing is awkward for me; I'll be on vacation when it arrives, and it's too early to justify as a holiday gift for myself. I do look forward to seeing what's in it, and congrats to everyone able to take the plunge!

My only concern is that I'm a little worried about how this will affect the regular sub. I enjoyed the October box, but I hope the regular subscription doesn't become full of low-end items whilst everything better is reserved for limited boxes. That's what gives me pause about extending my subscription.

I am so disappointed in the price of this box.  I think this may be the first Popsugar box for women I will be skipping.

 

[Bizgirlva]

So is anyone going to go for it?

 

[jbird1175]

Gah! $250 is too high for this gal. I need a popsugar daddy to buy me that box otherwise it's not happening. Le sigh...

 

[boxesandboxes]

I'm in! I got Nina's box too.  I'm addicted.

 

[utgal2004]

I had been debating on Nina Garcia box but after seeing $250 price tag of PS/Neiman Box, I felt totally justified getting Nina's instead. If I spent $250 it's going to be on exactly the products I want.  I do love the look of that throw but I think I'll take someone's suggestion and find one online like it.

Exactly, if the government wasn't shut down, and we weren't about to begin defaulting on payments tomorrow, and our credit wasn't about to be downgraded, and it wasn't right before xmas, and I didn't have 2 little girls with wishlists, then I might consider $250. $250 is 2 American girl dolls with accessories!  In my house we measure money by American girl dolls (my daughters both have 3, 2 each bought second hand on ebay, and one each bought new at the American girl store).  If something costs $1000, I say "that is like 10 American Girl Dolls", lol. It is my job to make their dreams come true...I can wait for my birthday (Feb).  I am glad that the box is so expensive, because it is no longer tempting for me!  $150 would have been very hard to resist, but I can now stop thinking about it! For those lucky individuals who are able to purchase right now, good for you!   I hope it will be an amazing box, and I can't wait to see what you get!

Am I the only one who thinks the timing of this box is really poor on PS's part? I mean, with it so close to the holidays (once it ships), right after the Fall LE box and right before the Winter LE box, if there's one again. Timing is everything and the timing on this seems ridiculous to me.

....Plus I'm still mad at myself for extending my PS sub for a year. I wish I had that $380 back so I could actually afford the NM box I'm such an idiot to tie up that money on this sub.

I crochet, so I see a project in my future (although with the price of yarn I may as well just buy one!).

Supposedly it's going to be a high value box which is rare for Quarterly boxes. They mostly hit their price point almost exactly. I'm excited for it!
Really - high value?  Did not know that but I am very curious about this box.  Want to sub, but so afraid the jewelry will be from Jewelmint or Gorgana and I will get more Supergoop!

I think I may just do it! $250 is a lot but I figure whatever I don't want from the box will make for really nice Christmas gifts. I hope I don't regret this :/

 

[Dakota750]

Booo, I had convinced the hubby to let me have this for $100 but no way I can justify the $250 price tag.  I'd much rather spend it on 6 months of the regular Popsugar box.  For those of you taking the plunge, I hope it's an amazing box!

 

[kitnmitns]

I cannot imagine it would be worth to me.  Plus, I have enough cozy blankets

Omg...laughing so hard at PopSugar Daddy! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> My boyfriend got me a years subscription for our anniversary and I will totally mentally refer to him as my PopSugar Daddy now.
