**SPOILERS*** November 2013 Popsugar Must Have Box

[missemiee]

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? :gulp: 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!

I second the need for the double wine tote!!! Lol

Just got my box as well. My soap was also pine, I got the nice candle ( vanilla, sugar, coconut), lavender nail polish pads, same color scarf, and I think wine tote( mine is red), same flavor of preserves. I am happy with it! Agree the pine is odd but I'll just sticking stuff it for some lucky man in my life. It is rather manly.

 

[BratzFan]

Hmmm...not thrilled but not as upset as I was with the october spoilers. I really hated October LOL

Here is my assessment:

1. Scarf = yay!

2. Candle = yay!

3. Preserves = weird but yummy

4. Nail polish remover = bonus!

5. Apple chips = bonus!

6. Bar soap = haven't used bar soap in years! No thanks

7. Wine tote= this is too plain for my taste. i wish it was an actual bottle of wine

8. Canvaspop GC = bleh

Overall, I'm not sure the top 5 items I liked were worth $40

To those people that got their boxes:

In the card folder thing that explains all the items and why they were picked, etc... on the scarf page, under the write up or picture does it say "color may vary"?  That would give us an idea of whether there will be variations in the color of the scarf!

 

[indianaredhead]

It looks like the scarf retails for $42 alone, so not too bad

If anyone wants the wine bag and the Canvaspop card and wants to trade with me... PM me.. I know I won't want these /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I got mine today and the only variable items are the candle and the nail polish remover pads.

ETA: I got "Nice" and Lavender

Thanks!  Mystery solved!

Bratzfun and anyone who doesn't plan on using their gc I would happily take it off your handsmy walls are blank lol

Got mine today. I really like the scarf and I got the "Naughty" candle & lemon scented nail polish remover. The candle smells really good and the polish remover works really really well, I was impressed! I actually like the soap but I love those types of scents. The wine tote is the only thing I don't like in this box, its kind of weird and I don't even like it enough to gift it to anyone.

 

[maleia91]

What does the Naughty candle smell like?

 

[janaelisa]

Hi, long-time stalker first-time poster ...

I quit PS for a few months but then resubscribed for this month and I'm glad I did! I'm excited about everything except the wine tote but that'll make a good gift for my wino friend so it all works out.

Wish my box was coming today. FedEx says tomorrow, but I'll be gone until Sunday /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[janaelisa]

That said, I'd be extra excited if my scarf was the orangey or green color. I have too many neutral scarves. But I like the print on this one so it's OK that's it's black and white.

 

[plumplant]

What does the Naughty candle smell like?

Like a musky Men's cologne

 

[sylarana]

Got mine today and I am very happy with it. I love the smell of the soap .. very seasonal. And even though I usually don't like artificial vanilla smells, the candle is nice too. The scarf is perfect for the winter here. Haven't tried the nail polish remover pads, but they seem convenient for travelling. Only the dried apples were awful ... I prefer the plain ones. And I'll see how much the gift card is worth ... if I have to put it another $30 to use it, I'll trade it or gift it.

I'm confused with this comment - I just went on the Canvas Pop website and an 8 x 10 custom canvas print is $30. You can get larger sizes for more, but this gift card is essentially paying for a portrait-sized print. Pretty sweet if you ask me. What a lovely gift that would make!

 

[sylarana]

That would be a great gift indeed! Forgot about the tote. I have no idea what to do with it. It's pretty, but apart from buying wine in the store, I barely ever find myself carrying bottles around. Maybe from the car to a friends house, but who needs a tote for that? And at the store I use the 6 bottle tote from WF ... so I'll probably gift it ... but to whom? Or give it to the kids to play with ...
