Any spoilers beyond that? I do love the idea of Paris.

I wanted to add I just got my first box from Tina Roth Eisenberg and let's just say our personalities are not compatible. She sent a 40 watt megaphone! What am I supposed to do with that? In her letter she elaborates on how she likes having it sitting on her desk and knowing that if she wanted to shout across the East River one day then she could.  *sigh* Having large impractical objects is not my thing. That one is canceled. 

If you have any friends who are teachers, give it to them as a gift. I promise they'll love it no matter what grade they teach lol.

Does anyone know where we can buy the bracelets? I have tiny wrists and love the way the pave spike cuff fits me but would love to see the varieties and get another arrow/skulls/ elephants etc.

no they only said they are planning their first Quarterly box ("A Trip to Paris") and asked their followers what they would like most to see in Paris. Maybe we should go to answer the question and our items will be included in the box! =p

Sounds like she's adding something more to some random boxes.
I wonder if she is actually shipping a wine?!  That can't be shipped everywhere and it seems like an accident waiting to happen but...  It's the only thing I can think of.  I don't know if I like the idea of different boxes, though.

I did sign up /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  Now we need a thread for it.

I'm thinking along the lines of wine accessories. A nice wine opener or wine chiller or glass set with charms or something of the like. It didn't ask for ID when signing up so I would doubt it's actual wine. But I won't complain if wine shows up at my doorstep!

Hopefully its one of the things you mentioned /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I just can't really think of a reason why "a handful" of people would get better higher value boxes than others.  Unless its for the first ten to sign up or something?

I guess it would be like the popsugar drawings or other random giveaways. I don't know though.

Agreed! Those were my thoughts when she mentioned wine as well. There's no way actual wine will be shipped because Quarterly always ships via USPS which prohibits the shipment of alcohol.

Maybe a voucher for a wine of her choice? I could love that /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I'm really hoping for a spoiler for 1000 Places.... I'm growing tired of FFF and want to find a new fun box to replace it with. My BFF is interested in travel boxes ( Escape Monthly seemed kind of not worth what you pay??) and we were going to share the box. Paris sounds fabulous! But I realllllyyy want a spoiler before I make the decision! (Also, I hope that list isn't the next year of their boxes... Antarctica couldn't have much to send i wouldn't think.... Lol)

I agree abput escape monthly. Their boxes just seem to be filled with food or lotions. And most of the value comes from the travel guides, which just take up space. I want something more unique from travel boxes.

That's our thoughts exactly!! I'm so glad we looked at reviews first. The people doing the reviews seemed to like them, but we both thought the value wasn't there. Hopefully 1000 Places would be better...?

I don't think I've ever seen a spoiler on the Quarterly boxes ... Book Riot had one for their first box but it was super duper vague and only a real bibliophile would've figured it out. 

I went for it. It's so easy to cancel after getting one box (no hoops to jump through like with other companies) that I figured it was worth the risk. I do love Paris!

I had to sign up for 1000 places after they said Paris. Because it's Paris and this fall I'm headed over there for the 3rd time. Since the theme is 1000 places to go before you die I'm hoping there is some tip for a little garden or out of the way place
