Good morning all!! I hope everyone had a most fabulous Christmas!!!
Today I am going to share with you my thoughts on the Popsugar December Must Have Box. After seeing reviews about the October and November boxes I was SUPER PUMPED!!! I mean these boxes contained books, movie tickets, scarves, candles….etc. Basically everything that was right up my ally. So you better bet I signed myself up for the December box STAT!
Imagine my surprise when I started seeing the spoilers online of what I would be receiving in this box and it was NOT GOOD. Not good at all.
Needless to say when I received my box I was sorely disappointed. It was just what I thought would be in it. I was hesitant as first to pay $35 for a box of goodies but like I said, the other boxes were so AMAZING that I had to try it. Lesson learned.
Here is what my box contained…peppermint sticks (HATE peppermint), tea sampler (don’t like tea), scented soap (have plenty of it), iPhone screen cleaner (not needed), Rent the Runway code (no thanks), two tea cups (one was shattered…ugh) and an emergency kit (already have one).
Nothing exciting. You can bet that I will NOT be getting another Popsugar box again. Ugh. #NotImpressed

I did the same thing! I LOVED what was in the last two popsugar boxes and so I signed up. There was a bracelet in the last one that I was dying over. I was so bummed that this one seemed so different and wasn’t anything exciting. Boo!

Oh no! What a bummer. I just cancelled my BirchBox and bluumbaby boxes for the same reason – really disappointing stuff that I’ll never use! :(
Oh well. Let’s make our own monthly box. For things that people will actually use, lol. Item #1: lots o’ chocolate. #2: see #1. ;)
Hope you have a great day, Ricci!

That stinks. I felt that way about BirchBox.

I actually liked the tea and mugs, but definitely not worth $35. I unsubscribed right away as well. Not impressed.

Wow… Huge bummer!! I haven’t tried any of these monthly boxes and I don’t know if its something I want to spend my money on yet. Thanks for the honest review!

This is why I cancelled my BirchBox. I saw so many bloggers posting awesome stuff they got from BirchBox so I signed up…and did two months…and both boxes were extremely disappointing.
Hope says
Oh no! What a disappointment. This is the main reason why I havent signed up for Birchbox. I definitely dont want to pay for something that I end up being let down by. Maybe one day I’ll try julep maven because you can rarely go wrong with nail polish. xoxo – hope

ugh looks like a box of old TJ Maxx junk lol, I would have unsubscribed as well for $35!
Erin says
I was pretty disappointed with the December box too. :( I did the 3 month subscription so I’ll see if the next two months are better, but yeah..ugh! Total letdown…
