*Spoilers* December 2013 Popsugar Must Have Box

[Lolo22]

My box came! I am happy with it, but it will be enjoyed in moderation since there are a lot of calories in there! I like the bracelet but the extender pieces and claw are kind of big and take away from the bracelet a little. I still like it though. It doesn't remind me of a cross. A little bummed that the cups aren't dishwasher safe and the polish strips aren't the real polish kind. Even if the chocolate is common, it's flavors I haven't tried so I'm looking forward to it. I also love the gift wrap.

I LOVE THIS BOX!!! BETTER THAN OCT or NOV for ME!!!! I have to admit I love it better than the LE box! I think I payed like $27 for this box with the early price lock in and maybe a code or something and really it is worth all that and more. I especially love the glasses which are great for picnics. I am a member at many sparkling wineries and this is perfect! The chocolates are always welcomed treats for gifting, snacking or having in the office for visitors. The bracelet is lovely and I like the mix of silver and gold. I am thrilled to be getting an environmentally conscious gift wrap paper and who can argue with a full size mascara. Also, the nail wraps are fun and I think I may use just one or two as an accent nail to make it festive but work appropriate during the holidays and maybe even into Valentines day. Fun!!!!

Thank you sooooo much for the heads up that the glasses are not dishwasher safe. OMG I am notorious for ruining things in the washer!

[@]RenoFab[/@] it just says hand washing recommended so I think technically you could put them in the dishwasher, but they may melt depending on your settings. My dishwasher gets super hot so I'm not chancing it /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

After lurking for a while I finally gave in and subscribed for the November box, so this is my second one. I actually do really like the box for myself. I like that is has a festive theme. 

My only issue is that I ordered a box to gift to my sister, and while I like the box for myself, I really don't like it as a Christmas gift. My sister loves chocolate, so that's fine, but I don't like that her gift will be gift-wrapping paper, or that she'll have cute holiday-themed nail wraps for AFTER Christmas. The bracelet won't really be her style, either. Hopefully she likes the BaubleBar necklace, otherwise its kind of a dud gift. I'm thinking of splitting the box into stocking-stuffers for multiple ladies..

So I decided to make it into a necklace! I wore it today and even got a few compliments /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />



That's gorgeous! I love it as a necklace! Great idea! I also love your photos, and your blog is on my RSS feed at work. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

wow it does look better as a necklace... still not sure i will end up using it though... still looks a bit tacky to me.

I'm kind of meh about this box. However the bracelet saves it for me. It looks vintage and and not so common. I like it the most out of all the other jewelry they've sent in the past. I have a thing for baubles and trinkets. 😊

I kinda love the Lulu frost bracelet so if anyone is interested in the Erickson Beamon Rocks bangle from the LE, I am happy to trade it!

Her is a link to in on Suburban Mom's blog (shout out!)

Make sure your nails are clean, swipe with polish remover first. Also you can't save unused strips once the package has been opened, they will dry out. Overall just take your time and they should work well. I'm a bartender and they last about a week. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I love the necklace idea!! it makes the whole thing look so much cuter

I'm hoping the PS will send us some daintier jewellery in the future I'm in a chocolate mood right now so I'm wishing I had my box so I could raid it for the Ghiardelli, hehe.
@MichiChan If you really don't like your bracelet, I am looking for someone to trade it for the one that is in the LE box. Here is a link to what it looks like. Let me know. I love gold more than silver so it works for me.

I'll trade you mine! PM me /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I've been thinking about making the bracelet into a necklace,too...just have to find a good chain! I do like 2 toned jewelry, but I don't wear many dangly bracelets, and it's a bit small on me (hard to fasten myself) and I'd just get a lot more use out of a necklace!

I ate a few of the holiday chocolates today and they are amazing!

 

[RenoFab]

IS ANYONE ELSE SOOOOO HAPPY THAT WE DID NOT GET A RIDICULOUS FAKE GIFT CARD TO USE THIS MONTH???? 

 

[ikecarus]

I got my box today and I have to say... I'm actually much happier than I originally thought I would be, all because I fell in love with the Lulu Frost bracelet. It's really flattering and I love the duller look of the brass as I'm not a huge fan of shiny gold jewelry. Hopefully more people will also end up loving their bracelet because it's fantastic imo. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> 

(though the rest of the box was kind of a no-go for me)

Thanks for the offer but I got the LE Holiday box too and have to swap that bracelet away too, hehe.

It seriously took me about 5 minutes, 3 of which were spent trying to find a suitable chain /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

No, this is actually how the chain came  /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I'm sure you'll love the end result /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I did it using small pliers, so if you have a small toolkit, it probably already has those.

But, putting the charm on a silver necklace made it a billion times better! Great idea and great job.

Thank you! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Also, just wanted to add, I did think that all the donations for a $45 bracelet were going to charity, but still, felt my personal worth for it was lower, even knowing it is for a charitable cause I would have passed on the bracelet and donated the $45, it was just not a perfect for for my style. Trying to put a positive spin on something I wasn't thrilled with. Hope u guys get the idea anyway!

How does that work, exactly, if PopSugar gets its products for low or no cost? Doesn't make a lot of sense that there is a $45 donation per bracelet for a $30-35/month box.

Ooooohhh your necklace looks amazing!  I love it on a silver chain.  Can you make one for me too?   /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I love it as well! Gorgeous! I think the charm looks way better with a silver chain, and I would love the bracelet too if it was a similar color.

Please no LE box talk without spoiler tags! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I am trying to stay spoiler free and people keep posting in other threads about the LE box. I know it's not on purpose, but I really am starting to think I can't go on the site without ruining the surprise and that makes me sad because I love MakeupTalk.
