*Spoilers* October 2013 Popsugar Must Have Box

[MichiChan]

If anyone's still looking for items from the October PS box, I have the following:

- Gorjana Bali Bead Bracelet (and pouch)

- NYX Liquid Liner (brown)

- NYX Smokey Shadow Palette

- Jane Tran Bobby Pins

- The Wet Brush

- Crispycake

- Stitch Fix code

This might be of interest to the CrispyCake fans.

I was looking at the Orange Glad market place email and realized that the CrispyCake (they had a crispy cake in one of their past boxes) is from a company called the Crispery of VA!  I navigated over to the Crispery website.  I saw their phone number for custom orders was a 757 area code (that's also my area code), so I called them and spoke with Judy.

I found out some info, they're located in Portsmouth VA, which is the city next to mine (Norfolk).  But they do not have a store front (however they sell some of their goodies at some local stores in my area!)  Judy did agree shipping was high, however they do not ship from VA, they ship from their warehouse down south.  They are building a bakery in Hampton (just over the water from Norfolk) and she said shipping costs should decrease once they have the bakery up and running in Hampton. She didn't indicate when the bakery would be up and running.

Also, I asked her how they came to be in the PopSugar boxes, she said PopSugar reached out to them to be in their October box.  She said one of their people tried the crispycake in New York (apparently they're sold in lots of stores in CA and NY) and loved it, PS asked CrispyCake to send them a shipment for the October box (she also noted that CrispyCake would be in a future Orange Glad box, she said they just shipped them an order). 

Anyway, just thought I'd share, so if you'd like more crispycakes, maybe consider signing up for Orange Glad boxes (sweets only food box) or keep a look out for reduced shipping (I bet after the 15% off PopSugar code expires, call Judy she'd offer you another discount to ease the sting of the shipping).

Awesome info! Thanks for sharing it with us.

I just went on their site. I'm so ashamed, I ordered 7. I figured if I had to pay for shipping the order needed to be worth it. And my husband stole the one from my box, I never got a bite so at least he will have no option but to share this time with 7. ;-)

Obviously I can't do math.  It's more like $25.  

 

[lauren2828]

I have an extra $25 Gorjana code that I would be willing to trade for a stitchfix code

 

[MissMonica]

I also have an extra Gorjana & Griffin ($25) and Charm & Chain ($30) code from past Popsugar boxes that I'd be willing to trade for a Stitchfix code.

 

[Christy327]

I would like the wet brush

Another piece of excellent detective work! Seriously, why are we not running the world?

Don't know if anyone mentioned this but Orange Glad has free shipping on their website shop until Halloween. It has a couple of Crispy Cakes there if you want to try the S'Mores and Chocolate Sprinkles

Sorry if this has already been posted, but can someone give me the discount codes for subscriptions? I remember reading there was a $10 off 3 months, but can't find it now. Is there a $25 off 6 months? I'm trying to get in on the current prices before they go up. Thank you!!!!

 

[JessP]

@wurly SQUAD10 for a 3-month sub and REFER5 or SQUAD5 for a month-to-month sub. If you've already subscribed to PopSugar before, you'll have to open a new account to use the codes because they only work for new subscribers.

Just received my box yesterday and I like it, but I don't LOVE it. I'm actually really excited about the cookbook, which I definitely wasn't at first. I also tried the wet brush on my hair this morning out of the shower and it worked perfectly! I have THE tiniest wrists, so the bracelet fit me well, but I don't think it's worth what they say it is, I also didn't like the NYX palette or eyeliner. The rice krispie was delicious! I'm on the fence about using the stitchfix code, so it might be up for trade soon. Overall 6/10.

My friend forwarded me an email from PopSugar regarding the resolution they offered her...she is pretty unhappy because she tossed the card in a hissy fit. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Thank you for your patience! While Stitch Fix is currently only able to serve sizes 0-14, both POPSUGAR and Stitch Fix are dedicated to their subscribers and would like to ensure that you have a positive experience. We will be sending you a fun, trendy necklace from the Stitch Fix collection to replace your voucher and we think you will absolutely love it! To redeem this, we will need you to send us the unused code to your voucher and once you have we will send along your necklace! We do hope you enjoy your new necklace and please let us know if you have any additional questions.

Cheers,

On and speaking of stitch fix...do they cater to petite sizes? I typically have issues with clothing since I'm 4'10". I suppose I can create a profile and peak around the site. I wasn't really interested at first and traded my card...but now I'm curious.

Oh no, that sucks for your friend /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> 

But thanks for posting, I hope this is something they are offering everyone who didn't get to use their voucher.

They ask for your height in the profile, and there are several places for you to add comments. I'm sure they have petite sizes available /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I got this email too. Now I just need to find where I put that card!

That's why I traded my card right away too. I'm only 4'11". Plus I just have weird body proportions on top of it. To give you an idea, I can only buy swimming suits where you buy each piece separately because my bottoms are usually XS and the top is a L or XL... So I assumed that stitch fix would be like every clothing store I've gone to and not have anything to fit me properly. Lol.

 

[Gchatt]

Can someone tell me how the stitch fix code was sent...gift card....on a piece of paper. I don't know what I did with my code and it would be nice if I knew what I was looking for
