Tuesday would be better since I'll actually be home that day. <3 I'm in the Imperial Beach area so that shouldn't take too long, unless the truck takes a wide loop. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Yayyyy

Hoping I get mine on Monday and my LE box later in the week! Merry Christmas to meeeeeee! In the meantime snuggled up in bed watching peep show, finally feeling caught up on work. Hope everyone is having a nice night. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Hmm... I wonder if she's on the east coast. I'm excited that she likes it!

hi. I'm in Brooklyn actually. hope you get yours soon.

I searched the bracelets on lulu frost's website, and the shortest one I found with a chain was 6 1/2" with a one inch extender. So that's 7 1/2" total. The plaza bracelet is 7" with a 1" extender for a total of 8". Hope that helps. Seems like it should fit everyone, and I'm curvy too, /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

my wrists are pretty small, just under 6". I'd say the bracelet runs small, but it should fit up to a 7" wrist. and it would be pretty easy to add z couple rings to the extender chain if you're handy with needle nose pliers.

Does the bracelet say if its nickel free? I'm really allergic to nickel so jewelry shopping is difficult. I don't expect them to send out 24k anything but costume jewelry being sold nickel free is starting to seem more common so here's to hoping!

On Charm & Chain it lists a similar item as gold and silver plated but that is as much info as I could find, sorry & good luck!

I really like the pics of the bracelet. I think it will look good layered with my Sabo charm bracelet. I have small wrists and usually have to take links if its not adjustable.

Well . . . I came here ready to be super excited about December and . . . blargh.

The thing I'm trying to remind myself is that I absolutely loved everything in last month's box (well, except the wine tote, but I can give that away), so I guess this month being a dud for me isn't the end of the world. But man, this box really stinks IMO.

Am I crazy for thinking it's really annoying that at a time of year when we're already inundated with sweets from all the parties and holiday celebrations, Popsugar is sending us two bags of chocolate, plus caramel corn? I like Ghirardelli (though now I'm REALLY glad I didn't buy a bag of the peppermint squares from the drugstore when I saw them the other day), but it's not what I'd consider "must have" or particularly giftable.

Also, $9 for three sheets of wrapping paper seems like a huge waste to me.

I guess it's just bad luck that I happen to hate these glasses (I've seen them in stores) . . . I think maybe it's an OCD thing, but the thumb indent on the side makes me crazy. It seems like a lot of other people are excited about them though, so hopefully they'll be a cute gift. I have friends with a beach house, so maybe I'll pick up some champagne and give them these glasses and the wine tote.

I wish I liked the bracelet more. I actually love Lulu Frost, but at least based on the pictures, I don't care for this bracelet at all. I guess I can give it as a gift as well . . .

Oh well, I guess you can't be excited about everything. I have been wearing November's scarf almost every day--it looks great with my coat and printed dresses--so at least there's that!

NOTE ABOUT THE GLASSES: I went on amazon to look at the pricing and I've noticed a number of reviews mentioning that the glasses are NOT dishwasher safe. While some people say they've put them through the dishwasher without incident, numerous people seem to be reporting that the glasses melted on them in the DW, even on the top rack. Just thought I'd share to save anyone disappointment (and of course you can always head over to amazon and check out the reviews to decide for yourself whether to wash by hand or in the DW).

For anyone who already has the box, does it look like it'd be easy enough to get the charm off of the bracelet? I'm thinking I'd prefer to put the charm on a chain and then just wear the bracelet without it.

That could also be a solution for people who are worried that it looks like a cross. From the pictures, it looks like if you wore it as a necklace, it'd hang in a position where the design would look like an X (I mean I know it hangs that way on a bracelet as well, but the charm is more likely to shift positions on your wrist vs on your neck).

Eeek! I ordered one for my sister and hers got delivered before mine! I know what's in it but I'm still excited for her (I know I'm a dork). She has no idea I got her one. Hope she likes the variety!

Yes, it would be easy enough to pry open the link that holds the charm on with some needle nosed plier.

I got my box today!

I like it as much as I thought I would. I got the plain caramel corn and I'm eating it right now...super delicious. The only downside is that yeah, as others noted, the bracelet is very small.I would have to have someone else fasten it for me and then I think it would look funny tight, so I'm going to find something to extend it a bit with.

 

[teenyfish]

So I thought I could wait it out and not peek - but I failed miserably! Overall this box isn't too bad, I love chocolate and sweets so that's a win, and the wine glasses could be fun for me or a gift. Not too stoked about the bracelet, not my style but that's okay! I loved last month so I'm alright with a so-so box this one.

I can never resist spoilers, but I wanted to reserve judgement on this box until I saw everything in person. Unfortunately, I don't like this box as much as I thought I would and I won't be renewing this subscription. I was absolutely in LOVE with the NM box though, so I will definitely buy the next special edition box! I hope everyone has a great holiday season!!!

Box came today and I am so happy I have no shipping info and there still is none for the box on the website.. how strange... I love everything except maybe the nail item. The bracelet is gorgeous  I have it on now . I think it will easily fit a 7 inch wrist. I have it on and its big I have it about 3  notches in.  I also tried it out as a bag charm on my purse. You just fasten the bracelet around a loop and it looks amazing there too. I am going to use it on my purse too. I got the plain carmel corn and it awesome. Hope everyone gets there box soon.. So much fun /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I just got my box and love it! I didn't hate the spoilers, but I wasn't as excited for this box as I had been for past ones. It's totally better in person though, in my opinion.

I have moderately large wrists, and the bracelet fits me just fine--it was a bit difficult to fasten at first, but I just had to find the right spot on my wrist to do it, you know? I thought it looked small when I took it out of the bag, but it's actually big on me, and I had to go in a ring. It's not flimsy, feels well made, and while the info card says it's gold, it's more of a brassy tone (but it still pairs well with gold--it joined my arm party right away and looked great with my gold jewelry). I would never pay $100 or whatever the estimated cost for it is, but I don't really buy expensive jewelry! It's nice to have something a bit more luxe for a change.

The wrapping paper is much more fun in person--the sheets are a good size, they're kind of the same paper as newsprint, and they're not all the green pattern, which is difficult to tell from the pictures.

This is a taste thing, I was so happy to get the plain caramel corn! I hate nuts, but that wouldn't have been a deal breaker for me, just eat around them.

Has anyone who has gotten their boxes gotten the baublebar bonus item for a gift sub? I want to see a picture of it!

 

[Emuhlyy]

Got a shipping email and mine is estimated to be delivered on Friday /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> wahh i really hope it comes earlier than that!

 

[feisty1]

Mine is out for delivery but the roads are such a mess I don't know if they will deliver it! Crossing my fingers ðŸ˜
