I think all the negativity will tone down once people actually have their boxes and discover alternative uses for the items they hate or label as "drug store" finds. I agree the glasses with the wine tote and a bottle of wine or champagne and chocolates or popcorn from this month make a great last minute gift for almost anyone. What woman in your life wouldn't take chocolate and wine? I agree that boxes which are food heavy are not my favorite, and I agree that January might lean too "healthy" resolution themed, but this box is all Christmas/NYE to me. Last year the mugs were smashed in a lot of boxes so the plastic ones make sense, and fit the theme. I also see them in lots of little gift shops, they're always something I'd like to have but wouldn't necessarily pick up and I think they would make a great gift. I love that they sent wrapping paper, less for me to deal with going out to get. I'm not in love with that mascara since I've already tried it, but my sister asked me to get her mascara recently so this makes an easy extra for her xmas gift. I'm going to a nail polish swap next weekend so I might take along the wraps for the gals who have upcoming parties. I might only end up keeping the food and wrapping paper from this box and gifting the rest, but ya know it's saves me the trouble of having to go out and get a gift and I did the same thing with last Decembers box (gifted most of it). In the end I look at the December boxes as time savers for me. Less shopping and thinking about what to get someone, and they sent paper to wrap,...**** they just made my life easier and that's worth the cost of the box to me. Ann, I don't plan on gifting, but I guess I really don't see much negative in this box. I think people get spoiled thinking they are owed something a lot mor than what they payed for??? I don't know. To me the value of the box is that it is something different for the most part. No matter what is in there, someone will have it, or used it or it isn't their taste. Popsugar has no way of winning no matter what they put in there. I just appreciate the fact that I get products that are mostly different, that most people have the joy of sharing on this forum or elsewhere. The value is way over, triple or four times more than what we payed for it. That's awesome that we would get something like that in this day and age!!! Not many company's are givers or curators like this. It feel great to me!!!
