This is a first for me, but I'm going to have to pass!
Excuse me while I pick my jaw up from my desk!

I hope this box is great for those that are brave enough to buy it, I have to admit I'm incredibly curious to see what's in it.

According to PS's website, they're describing it as a holiday box:

"Neiman Marcus Fashion Director Ken Downing and POPSUGAR Editor in Chief Lisa Sugar present an indulgent, one-of-a-kind holiday box"

So no other holiday box this year??

I caved /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I have no self control. Here's to hoping there is a Michael Kors bracelet and a nice wallet or clutch!

Quote: “This box is going to be more expensive, but when you’re working with a high-end retailer like Neiman Marcus, you want to be able to go as high as possible,†said Sugar. “We’ve done surveys where we found that our customers were all pleasantly surprised by the $100 retail boxes…We’re confident that we’ll be able to do it even at the [$250] price point.â€

I thought what she had to say was interesting.

Thanks! I will say though, that if this box sucks, I will never buy another special edition box again!!!
I ordered it as well and I agree if its terrible I won't buy another special edition box.

LOL I thought the same :/

Stupid taxes! But, I ordered.

$250 + $20 in taxes for me.. can't justify $270. I may, however, end up buying that cute chevron throw that @yousoldtheworld posted earlier in the thread - that I can justify!

I couldn't resist, and ordered it. With tax it was just over $270. Yuck. I'm really thinking it will be worth it, though! I haven't been disappointed with any PopSugar box yet, honestly. Oh, but if they end up reducing the price, you better believe I'll be raising heck if they don't offer a rebate to those of us who have already purchased, lol!

 

[fairytale113]

Decisions decisions !!!!!when it says that there is 8 luxury items valued at $600 and the throw being $195 that leaves $400 for 7 items !! Out of which I'm sure one will be a food item. Lol I'm really trying to convince myself not to get this !! I would be totally guilt ridden if I did !!

 

[iPretty949]

I'm saving that $270 for the 110.2% increase of my health insurance.

Poooof!

 

[ydlr20]

As much as it breaks my heart, I will pass on this one. I was willing to shell out $200, but $250 is just too much for me right now :-(

Just ordered it!!! 

And for anyone wondering... it's DEFINITELY looking like Christmas/Wintertime themed products are a possibility. After the purchase, it had a link to where the items will be sold after the Box release in November, and out of the 47 items in this guide's "Home" section, the Chevron throw is an item. Maybe I'm totally wrong, but that's just my guess. The only thing that worries me is almost all the "Home" items are just VERY EXPENSIVE xmas/winter decorations! Including a $170 SMALL CANDLE?! yikes. I hope most of the items are Clothes, beauty & accessories. I like that stuff much better.

Le Métier de Beaute just posted on FB that their item is a newly created limited edition Kaleidescope! (they didn't specify eyes, lips etc) Those retail for about $95. LOVE the eye Kaleidescope I got in the VIP box. I think I'm in....

 

[hakau]

$272.50 for California customers.I'm going to pass.

THis looks doomed already just like their target collabo

I had actually assumed this when I saw that brand was in there.

 

[AshJs3]

I hope it's an eye kaleidoscope! I got the lip one in my other box and sold it on eBay because I don't do lips. Or perhaps a mixed kaleidoscope?

LOL.  Such a cheery statement /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  Let's hope it's nice for those of us that ordered.   I doubt they will drop the price point as they likely did a business plan.  Maybe offer an incentive later.  Worse case is that we have some gifts to give to people at the holidays or items to sell or more goodie to trade to get that must have item that we missed.

I just "tried" to order just to see how much my tax would be (to try to sway me from not ordering it), and it says $0, and I'm in Georgia. Did anyone else have this happen?

I just ordered, I'm in Colorado and my tax was $0. Not all states have online sales tax.

Wonderful, thank you!! I'm from Michigan so I don't know how the in's and out's of Georgia yet... I don't even know how much their sales tax is
