Figured it was just easier to post the link. I hope that's allowed on here? If not, I will edit and pm if anyone is interested. http://www.change.org/petitions/congress-of-the-united-states-disallow-states-sales-taxes-on-online-purchases

I got a shipping notice and my box only has one more stop before reaching me!!! I usually receive my box on the later end, but at this rate I will get my box on Mon or Tues!

Maybe just maybe I might receive my box today. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Please share if you do

 

[MoiSurtout]

I have my fingers crossed that someone will get their box today, and that it will be someone who has a working camera/phone/computer and who is not at work/on holiday/incarcerated. (Why does it seem like the first people to get boxes are always the ones who can't share them?)

Of course! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Has anyone gotten their box or seen a picture anywhere?

Same here. I keep going to my PS account page and then chicken out!
I have mixed thoughts about them increasing the current value of the box.  Even IF they were to charge more, I think several of us have commented, it's great they put very expensive items in the box, and we all appreciate the higher quality, but maybe I don't always need the heavy priced items.

I so cannot think of a perfect example, the only one that comes to mind is something like lip balm.

You know the sugar lip balms at Sephora?  So cool, so amazing, but SO expensive.  $22+ for a lip balm?  That's a lot - even for an item on trend (again - just an example - not saying it's on trend).  BUT take the flip - like an EOS??  lip balm, which I haven't tried, but they look like a ball of lip balm.  They seem quite popular, but you can purchase at Target.  It's a treat to get either, at least for me.  Yeeeeeees, there is some level of disappointment of getting an affordable item, versus an item you would NEVER purchase because it's too expensive, but, for $34-$40 subscription, I'm ok with putting some creativity into on trend items, that don't break the bank too.   Course I say that now....  Can anyone relate?

I tend to agree with you in general but it's funny you used the Fresh sugar lip balms as your example because that's one of the few items that I totally think is worth the extra money. I never thought I'd say that I'd pay $22 of my hard earned money on a lip balm but since I got the deluxe duo as a sephora vib birthday gift I can't live without it. Most lip balms leave my lips smooth and soft but this one is special to me because it's the only one that leaves it actually hydrated. Totally not the point you were trying to make but just thought I'd share my 2 cents on that. Back to your point I agree in general like when we got the supergoop I don't really need a $30 sunscreen I use it since I have it but not much difference to me than using neutrogena face sunscreen.

Yes I can relate too. There are plenty of $10 items I would find as a great box item. + Hair drying towel + Starbucks pumpkin refreshers + A new kcup flavor in a 3 pack (for those that don't have a keurig and will complain they were sent) + Nail stickers + Clear base coat or top coat + An easy nail polish remover + eye lash curler + menthol bath/shower bomb (for colds this season) + gourmet smores kit for fall bonfires + infinity scarf And that's my ten under ten list....

 

[nicepenguins]

Yes I would love base and top coat! Why don't they send us those? I got wool shampoo once but no nail treatments? Weeeeird.

It is a wonder how our boxes don't show up smelling like garlic!

OMG-My Bday is in February and I was lucky enough to be able to choose between the new Benefit gift and the old Sugar gift...I LOVE benefit, but I took the SUGAR!  I use it every night before bed!

Yeah the Fresh sugar lip balms ruined me on most lip balms.  I never thought I would spend so much money on something like lip balm but I've been eyeing the sets at Sephora to get some more.  On a related note I also like the Epicuren lip balm that popsugar sent out in January, easily the best item in the box which is funny because it wasn't one of the big ticket items.  

 

[Shannon28]

I was really hoping someone would get their box today. I'm so impatient when it comes to waiting for spoilers for this box.

I loved the Epicuren sent last January- its turned into my fav balm- I put in on every night before bed.
