PopSugar Neiman Marcus Holiday Edition Luxury Box 2014

[fancyfarmer]

Did it say somewhere that Neiman Marcus was going to be selling them before they're sent out to subscribers?

When you order, it actually says the box ARRIVES mid November. So, hopefully they start to ship next week, but who knows.

I'm not so sure about this spoiler-- unfortunately, it doesn't make me want to run & order... Maybe that's a good thing.. Lol! So the retail value of the spoiler is $220 which means there's still $405 left in value. We should know all the products in a week, once neimans starts selling in store.

It scares me that this is 1/3 of the boxes value. I haven't ordered yet bc I keep thinking of the amazingness I could buy with $250 but I'm so tempted!! After this spoiler I'm definitely kind of happy with my decision.

Don't you think they would show the best item or close to the best? If this is the best item, I don't want it.

Oh man that spoiler makes me really consider buying this box, but I have a Clare V clutch from when they ran that contest 2(?) years ago. I don't use it a ton but I luv blue!

I contacted them asking and they said they will ship mid November.

Whew!  Glad I passed on this box before I saw a spoiler.  I am not a clutch type person so if this is the best of the box, I'm happy to save my money for the LE holiday box and some other sub holiday box.

 

[Vanessa Connally]

Dang, I should have just waited for a spoiler before I bought. I don't use clutches ever, I do however use wallets but this clutch is just a sack, no pockets or organizing. Does anyone know if you can cancel and get a refund? As long as it's before it ships? Thanks /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> and Thanks for posting the spoiler!

E-mail them and see if you can cancel. I did this with the Fall LE box, I had buyer’s remorse. So I e-mailed them and said I had to cancel and they did and refunded my card right away (this was of course before my box had shipped...and this was before the whole website debacle).

 

[sophisticate]

Saw the spoiler... glad I did not order. Last year's NM box was meh... this one even more so.

Sorry, but I HATE clutches. Having only one hand free makes me so.. uncomfortable. I hate holding things. 

 

[I'm so addicted]

Hey hey... I'm pretty bummed too. Buttttt.... i think it will be okay in the end. I too thought that they would probably put the best item out as a spoiler but maybe they won't because there may be some box left over after people buy them and see that it's good ? I hope so. I was flipping through the Neiman Marcus holiday edition catalog and there are some pretty good gifts in there that are under 50 bucks even so I'm sure there might be a couple other good things probably something for $100 maybe two things $100 and the rest some cheaper stuff like a candle in something I know its a gamble but still fun... hang in there ladies!!!

Hmm. The spoiler item reminds me too much of the Resort box. It's quite a similar style, and it's hard to tell the quality from the photo. I was hoping for a home-related spoiler like last year's. 

ohhhhhhh no! NOTHING like resort bag! claire V is really, really nice, they are actually pretty big and fold over...it is her signature style, there are no pockets inside - i've actually wanted to try one of her bags for quite some time, i am pretty excited I hope there are different colors but am happy with spoiler....

Don't Fret Chica /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> there's still over $400 in value left. They don't nesessary show the best item-- I think for the summer LE box they showed the tarte set. The more I look at the clutch, the more I do like it-- it's definitely Classic & Timeless...

it most definatly is and she is a US based company and all of the bags are made in LA

her clutches are often in magazines + are big in fashion world, this clutch is nothing like the ones we have rec'd in PS LE boxes, promise!! 

she even has a service that you can have your bag monogramed but i am pretty sure you need to order direct from her shops

 

[jebest]

I sent an email to cancel the box, hopefully they actually do it. I just have no use for a clutch and I am already getting 2 boxes from Quarterly, so I really shouldn't be spending the money. We will see if they get to it in a timely enough manner to cancel before it ships lol

We're teaming up again with Neiman Marcus to bring you the ultimate luxurious collection of gifts to give and receive this season. Neiman Marcus Fashion Director Ken Downing and POPSUGAR Editor in Chief Lisa Sugar have curated their favorite items to help you celebrate the most special year yet!
Limited quantities available. Box arrives mid-November.

I totally believe you, but this is what they have posted when you order. I guess they lied again.

 

[CAPSLOCK]

I really want the grey/white chevron throw from last year but it's sold out on NM's site.  I'm still tempted to get the blue or the navy one -- They're now down to 72.75 on their site (extra 25% off since the last time I looked -- good thru Monday).

But...  I don't need a throw.  Ever.  LOL -- well stocked here.

I'm sad I didn't order this when it was 72.75.  I loved the navy and white and wanted one, but the extra 25% is gone.  Hopefully someday they will do that again.  

As for the spoiler... I don't need that clutch, so I guess I get to save $250.  At another point in life I would have loved it, but not now.

Personally, as far as special edition boxes go, (I've only gotten 3 - resort, summer and fall), I have been pleased with the contents. Would I have spent $100 on the 2-3 items I use in each box? No, but I feel that the surprise and fun of opening the box and actually finding things I really like, make it worth it. I never would have known or sought out to buy any of these things without the box. Now, everyone's tastes are diferent and maybe my thinking is warped, but I have seen spoilers and gotten so pissed, but when I actually have it all in my hands, I'm always pleasantly surprised. I rarely carry clutches, but I have repurposed both of the previous clutches from these boxes in other ways and have used them enough times that justify the $100 I've spent, along with the other items. And I may be the only one who loved the Fall box. To me, that was the best value of the special edition boxes I've gotten so far, because I can wear hats and loved the quality of it and I loved how light that scarf was. I love how in some lights it looks like a black scarf and others the blue really shines. So this spoiler isn't making me fall out of my chair in excitement, but I know it will be used and looks really well made.

As far as Popsugar as a company is concerned, I have been and continue to be pissed for buying a year upfront while every one else is getting $10 off coupons, sometimes with gifts, every month. And I wasn't part of the shipping fiasco that was this month. I do feel they handled it poorly, but for how they have handled my complaints in the past regarding the year subscription, I'm not surprised. But at the end of the day, I wish I knew how to quit you Popsugar!

I don't know about this box ladies. I'm not tempted by the spoiler in the least. $250 is a lot for a box of who knows...Especially after the October box mess. I feel like I'll be suffering from a serious case of FOMO if I do not purchase. UGH!

 

[nicepenguins]

I wish I liked the sample clutch color better! It doesn't seem very "winter" to me. I like most of the other colors in that pic above better than the one PS sent as a spoiler pic. I would totally pull the trigger if it looked more like something I'd want to carry around in the winter, because I've wanted one of her bags for a while.  

 

[LabiosRojos]

Actually there are a few more in NM site!. Love the black/silver...more Holiday looking to me anyway :wub:  YES please! There's also a pink/tan. No porfavor!! :drive:

 

[Bizgirlva]

For anyone curious, this is what my clutch looks like, it's def more spring/summer though.  It's the kelly green basket weave style.  There are better pictures online if you google it.







It's SUPER roomy unfolded it could almost double as a iPad tote, I wouldn't say this item is limited to being used as a clutch only.

 

[wisconsin gal]

Yeah maybe it's the colors of the clutch that look so similar to our other fold over. I mean that horrible blue canvas bag is really just another makeup holder for me. Just not my style I guess.

I bought the nm box since I didn't get last years. I'm feeling the same pressure. With the first look at the clutch im hoping I didn't get a poor box. Nothing could be worse than gifting that Christmas box last year, so I'm hoping to get over the clutch and keep fingers crossed for another few great items. Pleeeeeeease popsugar!!!
