Can't wait to get this box!  My first box was September, and I was kind of disappointed in the quality compared to the August box (I wanted that bento set so badly!), but this one looks really fabulous, and I already know what I'll use and what will be a gift for someone special!

I'll trade ya! Just sent you a message if you're interested.

Lol my husband and I are laughing about the wine tote. We actually use them quite a bit, they are great for bringing your wine to a nice restaurant if they are byob
GREAT IDEA!!! Now I want to keep mine LOL

You could also put the wine tote in the car with other shopping bags and use it when bagging groceries to prevent the wine from banging around. Or maybe do something clever and put a longish vase with flowers in it so that it looks like you have a tote of flowers.

If it could go over a doorknob it could be storage for a flatiron in the bathroom.

Trying to be creative!
or put your plastic grocery bags in there?

I love the idea of using the wine tote as a flat iron holder...I may actually do that!

That's actually a very good idea!! If I personally take wine to someone's place or as a gift I hand it to them in a wine gift bag. I would feel odd taking my wine carrier back. Besides I think it's so cute I wouldn't want to part with it.. Lol. I think I am going to use your idea and store my flat iron and curling iron in there

I am excited for this (which will be my first box).  There are a couple of items I won't use like the Canvaspop card, wine tote and possibly candle (I'm picky about my scents) but I will either give away or trade those.

I don't drink, but the wine tote would be cute for a bottle of sparkling cider as a holiday gift /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

So... basically the use of a wine tote is to give it as a gift to other people? ugh.

I don't think that is necessarily true. We have a lot of BYOB restaurants in Chicago & I see people walk in with wine totes all the time (myself included). It's a little more convenient & durable than a paper bag when using public transportation or walking to the restaurant. I wish we had been sent the double canvas tote b/c...who drinks just one bottle of wine? I'm totally kidding...or am I?

I think the ideas of using the tote as a flat iron/curling iron holder or as a bag to hold plastic grocery bags are great!

Just got my box! So my scarf color was the same as Renofab.  Black and Gray.  The only difference is I got the Nice candle instead of naughty...Smells like vanilla which I love!  My nail polish pads scent is lemon which I believe was different from hers as well.  Same flavor of the preserves and same color wine tote.  I really hate the smell of the soap.  I think it is a odd scent for ladies smells more manly to me.

Thanks for this! Nice to know there are SOME variations with the box... though I am hoping someone else gets their box today and receives a soap that is NOT pine scented!

I usually bring some kind of wine/liquor + a baked good to all the holiday gatherings, so I like the tote for the sheer fact that I can have the tote on my arm while I'm carrying a pan of goodies (with 2 hands, because MN = icy driveways and sidewalks!).  I also like it for protecting a wine bottle when I throw it in an overnight bag for girls nights.  But then again, I'm a wino so maybe I would get more use out of it than most haha!

 

[DevinMcWhite]

I LOVE the idea od putting a vase (or mason jar or whatever will fit) and flowers in it and using the wine tote as a decorative element in the house. I like the idea of using it to hold your flat iron too... I just know my little one will not leave it alone.

 

[mwilly28]

Yea I am kinda stumped on the pine scent soap...It's like really??? Someone had an idea on using it as a stocking stuffer for their guy so I might just do that.

I'm a wino also, and I was excited for this. Especially because it's something that I would want but wouldn't buy for myself

Exactly! I wouldn't buy it for myself either.  I may gift mine to a fellow wino friend or keep it for toting wine to BYOB places or picnics.  We have an outdoor theater here that I take bottles of wine to and always feel like bottle is moving around too much in the large tote bag I carry it and snacks in to performances.  Pretty sure if someone doesn't want theirs that I'd be willing to trade for it!

I'm loving the wine tote also! Especially with all the upcoming holiday parties.

I just got the shipping notification e-mail from PS (even though my box shipped 2 days ago^_^') but sadly I'm not excited to receive it. I don't think there's a single thing in the box that I'll use, and I can't think of anyone to gift the items to either:/

I guess my whole box will be going up for swap.

 

[Tiffanybella82]

Not too stoked on this one... Too many groupons for cheap "photo to canvas" deals and I don't drink.. stoked about the scarf. I'll be trading the Wine Tote/Probably the Soap/definitely the Canvas Wine thing..

 

[mwilly28]

Anyone want to trade their stitch fix code for my Canvas Pop code?

 

[nikky25]

even if u dont drink could always use it for sparkling grape juice or something if u like that. overall, i think the box is much better then a lot of the most recent ones. some of the items are good gift items. wine tote im going to give to my boyfriend and the canvas pop would be good for me and him to get a picture printed nicely like we been planning, imma keep the candle and scarf and my mom can have the jam. but i still wish to get a novel though.
