Count me among those who liked the box less once they got it in their hands. I don't know why, but it just falls flat for me. I'll eat the popcorn since it's not molasses-based (I love butter toffee popcorn but hate Cracker Jack, and I finally realized it's because of the molasses), I'll wear the nail wraps (probably not until the summer because I have other nail wraps that are more clearly winter/Christmas-oriented to wear this month), I'll eat the chocolate because I do like this brand and these varieties (I'm not a couponer, so I don't look at it and think about how much cheaper I can get it. I look at it and think, "Hey, cool, now I have more!"), and I'll probably eventually use the wrapping paper for one thing or another, but... Meh. I think I'm going through one of my I-have-too-much-stuff-and-need-to-get-rid-of-everything phases because I am thinking of ways to get most of these items out of my apartment, and that annoys me because I don't get boxes to give the contents away. I get them to treat myself to things I would not otherwise get, either because I don't know they exist or just don't feel like spending the money on them.
I'm kind of glad I'm this unimpressed with it, though, because I had already vowed to cancel in part due to finances (I desperately need to chip away at my credit card bill), and a good box would have meant I would have stuck around for January because it's my birthday, and then I would stick around to see whether 2014's V-Day box was better than 2013's, and then and then and then. Cord cut. Subscription canceled. If I really want something in a future box, I can probably trade for it. If not, I really don't need it.
