I'm sorry to hear about the breakup. That's rough.

 I hope you're doing okay. And yes, now I'm wishing for an extra special box for all of us!!

Second the idea of a candle..

I would love a 30th anniversary Swatch watch!

A candle is ok with me, as long as the scent is not too fruity or heavy floral. I love the diffuser that we received on the September box,I have it in my bathroom and it smells clean...

Always happy with scarfs, socks, ear muffs, hot water bottle - anything to keep me warm. An infinity scarf would be fun.

Spiced chocolate bar or cocoa works for me, specially with a double walled, glass travel mug. Cider mix would do, too.

I would say fancy spiced mixed nuts, but the allergy issue would be a problem. 

Chunky jewelry.

A lip or cuticle treatment for the winter.

Brow grooming stuff.

Something for the Thanksgiving table: Stay warm trivet, wine bottle coaster, a salt cellar with exotic salt? (Would people with high blood pressure revolt?) I would love smoked olive oil - but that could be a packaging/transportation/leakage disaster....

Cheese Straws or cheese tray/accessory.

FAST SHIPPING!

Please no more:

Workout DVD's - I can just as easily ignore the On Demand options I already have.

Supergoop

Jewelmint

Face wash

Black Eyeliner

Snacks or Makeup that I can get at Walmart or Kroger
Agreed on your "Please no more" list!

Me too, by the way everyone was talking!  My book club would probably get a laugh out of it!

I'm on a mission to figure out how much marshmallow is required to make some like the crispery! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Excellent mission; I just spent $30 ordering from the Crispery and I'm not sure that's something I can sustain!

Please share when you've figured out their secret.

I really liked the October box, it was my first one and is by far the best of the subscription boxes I've tried. I ended up extending to a year subscription (which was a huge splurge for me.) I did that because I know myself well enough to know that I would not be willing to pay $40+tax for a monthly box. As it is I paid about $32 per box and now it's already paid for and I get a year of fun stuff. Ironically, though I would never in my wildest dreams have purchased the $250 NM box, I somehow used my not getting it as justification to myself to extend my subscription. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> My only concern about prepaying is that I really hope they don't stop doing the boxes. It seems like many of the subscription boxes I've read about just kind of peeter out and then stop. I hope Popsugar keeps going strong.

I also just extended for a year, and got a confirmation email from Popsugar.  However, if I log into my account, it's not reflected anywhere and it still has the "upgrade subscription" option to extend my account.  Does your account look the same?

Hi everyone!  

I've been avoiding this thread so that my November box would be a total surprise to me. A first, as usually I'm all over spoilers!  

Well, I just found out that I am not getting a November box.

 I am getting two December boxes. I bought a single box "too late" for November and then decided to extend with a 3 month subscription that starts in December.  

Is anyone here getting an extra November box that they would be willing to part with?  I could either pay you or swap my extra December box.  

Thanks!

ETA:  I'm a moron… I've already posted in this thread, duh… when it first opened. I couldn't remember if it was this one or the October thread.  I have no brain today.

Awe sorry /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I might have an extra box, I tried to upgrade my account and instead created a new one ugh...so I deleted my old one but it still says that I have a box coming in Nov for that account. I have emailed PS but haven't heard back yet. May I say (once again) that I HATE that I can't contact them via phone when I have issues like this??!!! One thing I really love and appreciate about Julep.

Thanks!  I wonder if I PMed you my account information if you could designate the box for me and they could refund you with my payment.  Would you be willing to try that?  If not, I would be willing to outright by it from you.  PM me if you are interested in either option.

It is a bit hard to find. In the "account" area it will say "status/next payment due" and that should have a date one year from now like "Oct 2014." It sometimes takes a while for their website to update account info.

Thank you!  That's exactly what my account says.  It confuses me that the upgrade button is still there, but I'm happy to know that the next payment is due one year from now!

My upgrade was a total fail. I tried to upgrade for three months and now it looks like I ordered a second three-month sub and will be paying $40 for November and have two subs at the same time. I emailed them and hope they can help. Here is a sheep jumping rope.

 

[tiffanys]

I think my upgrade is a fail also.  I paid for the October box (I was paying monthly).  Then, I upgraded to a 12 month subscription to lock in the lower price toward the end of the month (October 25).  My account reflects that my next payment will be due October 2014, which is 12 calendar months from now, but I'm worried it may be only 11 boxes from now, which is not a good deal.  If I get charged for the October 2014 box, I will have paid more per box than I expected. If the October 2014 box is included and I get charged toward the end of the month for November, I will be fine.  I hope their accounting department is sophisticated enough to figure this out!

 

[sparklesgirlxox]

I love popsugar but its flaw to me is that they have no phone number to call them. I think that's a problem.. I love and get all the boxes but I wish they had a phone number to reach them when I email them it takes a while for someone to get back to me

I did something similar. I bought one box (October) and then upgraded another 3 months. The next payment date still shows as January even though I should be paid through January. I emailed customer service and they said I would receive my 4 boxes and apologized for the interface being confusing. (And no, didn't get duplicate boxes in October or anything.) I'm just going to keep my eye on things.
