Got my box!
Aviator sunglasses, vanilla bean candle, pink water bottle. I'm not thrilled with the pink water bottle but that's so insignificant compared to the other stuff. I like pink, I just wish it was more neutral. I will totally still be able to use it. I had to unpack the box then leave my house for a couple days almost immediately, so boo! I didn't even get the chance to unwrap that sarong. Has anyone tried the refreshers yet?

I've had the refreshers in the hibiscus and lime flavor. I'm not a fan of hibiscus in general, so it wasn't my fave, but I really thought the lime was "refreshing". :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> They are made with green coffee extract, so it's the caffeine level of coffee without the coffee taste. It just tastes like a juice beverage/flavored tea kinda thing.
 
Mine should hopefully be delivering tomorrow (if it the same schedule as past boxes when they transfer to the usps). I am REALLY hoping for a pink or teal bottle for purely selfish reasons...I don't want DH to steal it! :p /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> lol Other than that, I plan on using the candle and scrub as Christmas gifts for my mom and sister and will totally use the sarong and sunglasses a ton this summer! I'll be happy with any sunglasses; I have a bright red pair of Oakleys that I wear daily now so it will be awesome to have another great pair to alternate with!

 
I haven't gotten my box yet but kinda regret spending the money on it. The items in it are nice but the price tag was a bit steep. I'd much rather have used thay money for 3 monthly boxes.

 
Boo! My box didn't arrive at my post office in time to go out today. It's probably there, but hasn't been scanned in yet. Hopefully I get it tomorrow.

 
Looking at what people posted they received in the box, I'm glad that I didn't order it. I was literally about to do it, but I guess they sold out of them before I made up my mind. I'm sure they're worth while to many people, just not me. Personally, the only thing about the box I liked was the House of Harlow sunglasses, however, I didn't like the style that was sent out.

 
I like the box a lot more now that I received it. All of the items are larger than they appear in pictures - like the sugar scrub. I was pleasantly surprised by the size. My water bottle is silver, my candle is the scent Violet (smells great) and my sunglasses are Tilda Gunmetal aviatars. I showed everything to my hubby and decided I'll splurge on the Summer Box for Him.

 
My box arrived! So happy I went spoiler free. It's so much more exciting for me (and I don't feel biased by other people's opinions). I'm really happy with this box (and a bit surprised reading some of the comments). Here are my variations:

HOH aviators Lynn Black Henri Bendel - Violet S'well - silver I missed the pouch until I read about it on here (and then looked at the brochure) because it was at the bottom so it was an extra surprise after I was already happy :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
Overall, I am really happy with this box. I will definitely use everything. And what I don't, I can certainly give away. I will definitively try and go spoiler free going forward on the monthly boxes. Think it makes the experience better for me. Though admittedly it's tough to do once we know the boxes start rolling in... Thanks everyone for sharing on here!

Thanks mishmash, you've inspired me to go spoiler free for our May box. ;-)

 
Box arrived today in Texas

House of Harlow Tilda Gunmetal Aviators--like them but don't work for me....will put on ebay
S'well in Blue
Candle in Violet--will go in mother-in-law's Mother's day gift bag. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I actually like the truffle bag.  I have 3 kids and we go to the pools and waterparks a lot in the summert, so I can see using this to stash all of my keys and stuff.  I will be using the S'well a ton.  I do wish the sunglasses were a different style but I know they can't please everyone.
 
long time lurker, first time poster!

i got my box today too:)i am definitely more happy with it in person.i got the tilda gold sunglasses,they are so comfy on!how they look on me,i'm not so sure, but i will wear them.i also received the jasmine candle and blue s'well bottle.very happy with both of those!i'm going to use the pouch in my car until it's more needed at the lake this summer.the sarong will most likely end up on ebay,i don't really like the fabric.i was pleasantly surprised by the size and quality of the scrub.the refreshers are pretty well,refreshing!glad i spent the money on this box and will definitely do it again if i have the cash!

 
Got my box. Only thing I am not a fan of is the candle in Fig. I have an allergy to it - whodd'a thunk Fig smells like perfume flowers?? I will wrap it up and hold for a re-gift for one of my mature co-workers. I love everything else!  Who cares the sunglasses are from season ago. Most I spend on sunglasses are $20 a season and they look great on me! 

 
Got my box today and I like it, but not in love. I did get the scent I wanted though!

Anyone interested in trading their Lynns for Tildas? 

 
So I was pretty displeased with the sarong at first. I tried it on earlier today and it just looks SO bizarre on me. I know the brand is high end and sarongs are summery and fairly one size fits all, but it just looks so awkward. Not to mention the fabric is a little sheer for comfort and I'm not terribly confident in my knot tying skills. I could maybe use it as a swimsuit cover up but then I would probably have to line dry it and I only wear swimsuits a couple times a year, so...meh.

Anyway, the colors and style go really well with my room. The color scheme in there is black, white, grey, and a super light pink. Lots of solids and fairly contemporary with a few soft/feminine details scattered throughout. Now I'm rambling, you guys really don't care about my room, but I'm about to ramble some more, so...sorry. Anyway, I just got a cat. As most cats, my cat really loves to look out the window, and he likes to climb right through my blinds, and I just know that eventually they're going to start breaking since they're pretty cheap. I'm okay with leaving my blinds open in general but my window opens out onto a fire lane and when I'm in my room at night I can see people peering in as they walk by. Kind of awkward and I have to close my blinds every time I want to change. I considered curtains but I'm probably going to move out of my apartment in the next few months and I'd rather not invest in curtains that might not fit the windows in the next apartment I move into.

TL;DR My cat keeps crawling through my blinds and is probably on the verge of destroying them so I need an alternate window covering.

I'm sure you see where this is going. I decided to see if the sarong would make a decent sheer to go over my window so I'm not so creeped out at night, and the size isn't -perfect- nor is it the prettiest thing in the world, but it's great for a makeshift window covering!

Hooray for using an item I thought was going to be useless! :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
genius-i never would have thought of that.i put my sarong up in my cat-shredded-blind-window and it actually looks good.my decor is greys,blacks,and magenta,and it goes just fabulously!thank ya!

 
You can pretty much use "sarongs" as tablecoths, curtains or whatever you want....growing up with people whose parents were hippies, that's generally what most of the people I know use them for!

I have them on my couch right now as a couch cover. Just tuck in 3 of them and you have a cover, and then two for the arms! You do have to keep tucking them in , but I got mine at garage sales/gifts from people, so it worked out to be super cheap.
