Pop Sugar Must Have - December 2012 Review - Monthly Women's Subscription Boxes

December's Pop Sugar Must Have box was an interesting one for me - I love all the items, but the value wasn't as high as I expected.

The Box: Pop Sugar Must Have

The Cost: $35 a month

COUPON CODE: Use code REFERFRIENDS to save $5 off your first box

The Products: Must have products in home, food, beauty, fitness, etc.

Bodum Bistro Double Walled Glass Mugs - Value $30

I love these mugs. My favorite part? They are dishwasher, microwave and freezer safe!

Tea Forte Sampler - Value $15

Typically when I get tea in a subscription box, it's a few loose bags, so I love that this was a boxed set. I may end up using this as a gift - the packaging is so nice, and the teas smell great!

Bogdon's Peppermint Poles - Value $3

Yum! These are already out on my coffee table!

Jaboneria Marianella Soap - Value $14

This soap smells divine, and at the price point is probably something I wouldn't buy myself, but I'm thrilled it was in the box.

Pinch Provisions Minimergency Kit - Value $15

This little kit is impressive! I couldn't believe everything they fit in the case. I immediately put it in my purse.

GoSwype - Value $1.99

Love this product! It completely cleaned my phone of any streaks, and knowing it also removed germs and bacteria made me feel better about having it so close to my face when on a call!

Rent the Runway Coupon Code - $30

I think Rent the Runway is a really cool site, and after checking out their amazing dresses, I totally plan on using the service someday. My issue with this coupon though, is that Pop Sugar states it is a $30 Gift Card, but it is actually just a $30 off coupon code that can only be used on rentals. (Rental accessories start at $10, but shipping and insurance aren't covered by the coupon). Because this is a coupon and not a true Gift Card, to me the $30 value shouldn't go toward the box total value.

Verdict: I will definitely use everything in the December Pop Sugar Must Have box, so I'm very pleased with the items! The value of the box without the coupon code is only $79 though, so previous boxes have definitely had more items and higher value. No complaints here though - now I just want my Luxury Edition box! What did you think of this month's box?

Pop Sugar Must Have Box - November 2012 Review - Monthly Women's Subscription Boxes

Yay! I love that the November Pop Sugar Must Have box arrived before Thanksgiving!

The Box: Pop Sugar Must Have

The Cost: $35 a month

COUPON CODE: Use code REFER5 to save $5

The Products: Hand-selected items in beauty, fashion, home, fitness, and food.

Stonewall Kitchen Cinnamon Sugar Doughnut Mix - Value $9.99

This mix gets great reviews - I can't eat gluten so I'll be giving this away as a gift!

Yogalosophy Workout DVD - Value $14.99

Confession: I haven't opened the first workout DVD they sent us a few months ago. I need to get on it!

La Boite Spice Mixes - Value $28.99

These spices smell amazing! I love that Pop Sugar included a cheat sheet on what to use them with. Check out instructions on how to use them here.

Gorjana Parker Leather Wrap Bracelet - Value $55

I love this brand and have a few necklaces and bracelets from them already. This bracelet is leather and 18K gold plated and I'm thrilled about getting this in the box!

MOR Lip Macarons - Value $10

This smells fantastic and I love the design of the tin as well - a perfect addition to my purse!

Snow and Graham Thank You Cards (Set of 6) - Value $15

These are high-quality letterpress cards. These will be great to have handy for sending a truly thoughtful thank you note!

Special Extras: Credit for one item at Style Mint and a $30 Coupon code for Canvas Pop

FYI - the Style Mint code is a unique code for 1 credit at Style Mint, but you still have to enter your billing information.

Verdict: In my opinion, this is another great Pop Sugar Must Have box! I love the card they include with the box to explain why they picked each item - after I read it, everything makes sense for November! Plus this box has a retail value of $135 (not including the Stylemint or Canvaspop codes). What did you think of this month's box?

Pop Sugar Must Have Box - October 2012 Review - Monthly Women's Subscription Boxes

Yay! PopSugar Must Have Box Time! I think I checked the tracking info on this box more times than I would like to admit - but after last month's amazing box, I couldn't help but be excited!

The Box: Pop Sugar Must Have

The Cost: $35 a month

COUPON CODE: Use REFER5 to save $5 on your first box!

The Products: Favorite items from PopSugar staff and editors!

Exersocks (Medium) - Value $10

These are anti-slip exercise socks for activities when you'd rather not wear sneakers. I didn't know these existed - but they make so much sense!

OPI Pink of Hearts 2012 Set in You Glitter Be Good to Me and I Think in Pink - Value $17

I'm thrilled with this addition to the box - Great cause, great colors and on top of that they are full size!

Pirate Booty - 1 oz Value $1.50

Dylan's Candy Bar Gummy Bears - Value $4

I was expecting some kind of treat this month since Halloween is right around the corner, and they did not disappoint!  After seeing Dylan's Candy Bar everywhere (most recently on Project Runway I think) I'm happy to finally get to sample their sweets!

The Casual Vacancy by J.K. Rowling - Value $35

I love that this book's retail value covers the cost of the box alone! The Casual Vacancy has been on my to-read list for a while, so I'm thrilled with this box addition.

Red Flower Spanish Gardenia Candle with Petals - Value $34

I haven't decided if I love this scent yet, but I am a fan of the design of the candle. It's topped with scented petals that you use for a variety of different things. Pop Sugar recommends throwing them into a bath or bundling them in a satchel to freshen up any area. Even if I don't end up using this it will make a great gift.

Clear Scalp & Hair Therapy Shampoo and Conditioner - 3 oz each Value $3 total

These are definitely deluxe sized samples. Unfortunately for me, they contain sulfate - which I avoid because my hair is highlighted. I'll be passing these along to a friend!


Verdict: For $35 I received over $100 worth of items - I am so happy with Pop Sugar Must Have! I love the variety and the quantity of the items - it's like my birthday each month!  Were you happy with this months' box too? I think my favorite month so far has been September's Box, but this box definitely was a major win!

UPDATE: If you are interested in signing up, I recommend doing so soon - the November and December boxes have already sold out!
