I looked at the photo and personally think that Rosario's box, like her first box, is a big win!  We knew that not every item would be expensive and based on the first letter she did, I think that probably  a lot of these items have meaning to her or at least the concept did. So as not to spoil, I will say that the value is a least $150 and probably closer to $200-250 and is a great mix of fun and funky and classy items just like the curator.  After a disappointing Nina box which I returned, a disappointing Arianna Huffington box which I am thinking of returning, a decent MSA box, this is my favorite of the quarterly boxes I have received this month.  

 
I think I would have just preferred that Rosario send the big items and skip the really silly ones - it felt like filler to hit the 31 number. That said, maybe she will give really great reasons why she included everything. 

 
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?!

AHHHHHH Rosario's box... Love!!  

I cannot believe theirs a Coach Madison wallet- I seriously almost bought one, then decided to just save the money for boxes

SO faaabulous!  And the filler is like a stocking!  Since really we were supposed to open one present a day like an advent calender it totally makes sense now that I see it :D /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I will be the kid in the candy store with her box.

@@ikecarus i see what you did there

With regards to the part you put under the spoiler cut... SAME. OMG I almost got something similar to it with my Fashion Project code (thankfully I didn't)! CAN'T WAIT. :D /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Mines not supposed to get here til the 26th but it will be like getting a second stocking!  She's included some very traditional stocking items and I love that (even though I'm old now).  Of course I love (that one thing) best of all and it pays for the box and then some.

 
Yea, there was someone who was complaining about the items, and all I could think was that they did not get the idea of what an advent calendar is all about.  It is always little things like a chocolate or a tiny lego toy and then you get the big item at Christmas.  An advent calendar is usually 24-25 days so it makes sense what she did.  I think the box is fabulous and I actually think she may be the best curator QUarterly has.  I just wonder how she finds the time to do the box with everything else she does.  I also like the fact that her profits are going to clean water projects.

 
I am in love with the Rosario box. It can't come to me fast enough. even if I got the thing in November, there is no way no how that I would not have opened every single thing in that box immediately and slowly picked one thing out each day in December. I never would have ever expected to see that one luxury brand in any sub box so I am seriously excited. I never had any notions that there would be 30 items of all high quality and usefulness when ordering. But besides the big item, there is SO much more useful stuff. And I can totally see Rosario (and myself) playing with the tiny plastic trinkets in this box.

On a off topic note... to any admin staff out there: there is a random Rosario box thread out there not under quarterly. Maybe you can give us some pointers on how to use the new sub box homes. Maybe we should tag spoilers to the new random Rosario thread (since that's pretty much all that's in there) so we can talk about spoilers freely there and have this as a place to speculate and share the quarterly love. Or whatever else you think would be a good use of these new sub homes. I'm sure, others, like myself, have no idea how to use them to the best of their potential to make sharing the love (and hate) easier.

Not sure if any admins subscribe to Quarterly which means this might get overlooked so I'm tagging @@meaganola just so she can bring it to the appropriate admins attention.

I'm on my phone, so I can't do a multiquote, but please use the Report button for this sort of thing! I can't move things on my phone, and I will absolutely not remember about this when I get home. Reports are seen by all mods, so that is *the* best way to get things like this done.

Huh. I just went to do this using the mobile drop down and now I know why it never occurred to me to do this before. There's a notation below the submission field that says "Please note: The moderator will be made aware of the link to the page you are reporting.This form is to be used ONLY for reporting objectionable content and is not to be used as a method of communicating with moderators for other reasons."

I'm not an admin, but I'm the one who suggested that people create the Design Sponge thread that is marked **SPOILERS** in the title because people seemed to want to talk freely about the box and didn't know how to work the tags.  I think it would be nice if each curator had their own spoiler thread and this main one is just left for non-spoiler discussions?  Thoughts?

 
Hey y'all - I moved the Rosario thread and added spoilers to the title.

If you need to create new topics in the Quarterly Co subforum, go to subscriptions and sampling, then go to the quarterly co subforum and then click "start new topic" on the right hand side.

If there's anything else you need to know about utilizing the new subforum just let me know!  :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

This is actually a big part of the reason why this company got its own subforum: So each curator could have their own separate easily-found spoiler threads! But I don't think any of the mods follow this company, so it's going to be up to everyone to create threads for the different boxes. If you see a need for a new thread, please just go ahead and create one! There's no need to wait for a mod to create it!

Yup basically what @@meaganola said. I think in general its good to have threads for different boxes so everything can be found with ease. But anyone can take charge and help organize and develop - moderator or not (also a lot of our current mods were promoted because they stepped up in instances like this  ;) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> ).

 
My MSA box was waiting for me today when I got home.  I love the box and think Liz did really great by us again this time around.  The fuzzy socks are soooo soooo soft and I can't wait to put them on shortly.   The eyeshadow is gorgeous, especially the gold!  I don't have anything like it and it's very pigmented. 

The "winter cozy" theme was spot on for this time of year and I'm glad Liz went with that theme.   The box has a good value and I'll use every single thing in the box.   

I know it can't be easy to curate a box that will please everyone.  It's funny because her last box had a scarf, and I see so many people complaining about scarves, yet everyone loved that she included a scarf (I thought it was a beautiful and classy scarf).  Then I see people complaining that they want a throw or if they get a box that doesn't have jewelry, they wished for jewelry.  This box had everything I see people asking for in various threads and I'm struggling to figure out why it's not a bigger hit with everyone. I really appreciated her letter and explanations for why she chose each product, it all seemed so thought out.   :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
