Artemis – I asked for the “Combination” option and told her my style is edgy/industrial and I prefer bigger bolder pieces. The description said this is a “Hand-formed copper bangle stainless steel jump rings & hex nuts”. It is a cuff, not a bangle, however, which I prefer since I can adjust it on my wrist.

    I want to order an Out of The Box. But not now what is available in their shop does not appeal to me. The item that sold out does. I would definitely review the box for sure it sounds awesome for he most part!

    I also re-signed up for Birchbox for that beauty blender. I always need a mascara for my little army of mascaras. I think I will stick for the November curated box and then cancel if I do not like the Pick Your Choice. But hopefully a great code will sucker me in for an annual.

      That’s the nice thing about Out of the Box Sampler. They do offer a limited amount of prepaid 3 month subscriptions, but the bulk of their business is from people decided if they want to purchases that particular month theme. Also she posts on Facebook what may be in the Sampler prior to when it goes on sale for that month.I look forward to your review whenever you do purchase it!!!

      I’m done with the Bichbox woman sub once it runs out. I’ll still will order the occasional LE box. I can’t wait to see your review and items!!!

      • October 25, 2015 at 5:56 pm

        Your last Birchbox was amazing!!!

        I think December’s Out Of The Box has my name on it. I would like winter scents. Stay tuned.

        I will be stalking Nina this week for spoilers…

        • October 29, 2015 at 6:31 pm

          Nina brought by Randomly … not worth the wait (spoilers out).
          Unhappily saved $100.

        I am definitely staying with Birchbox for November I just selected the curated box so I will have reviews for October and November!

    I saw Out of the Box Sampler had mini samplers available this month. I ordered one to review for the blog because I did not take pictures of my August or October samplers. I’m excited about the PopSugar Box for Her. I’m glad that I cancelled Linen Crate and did not receive this month’s box.

    I’m happy with my Artistry Gift boxes and Herbal Bliss box! I cancelled Surprise Ride because my little guy doesn’t like the craft aspect of it. He wants science! I also cancelled the box that billed me twice and has not shipped me my first box that was to ship in the first half of the month.

    I got my first and last Little Lace Box yesterday. It was very disappointing. After Subscriptionista’s awesome bracelet, I ordered from AZ Copper Creations. I also received that yesterday and I liked it enough to give it another go next month.

    Sub Bella, I still really love that candle that you got from Yogi Surprise (I think?). I bookmarked the store it came from in case they get a similar one in stock. The closest to what you got is currently sold out.

    • October 25, 2015 at 11:35 am

      Artemis, what does your AZ Copper Creations piece look like? I’ve been curious about trying that box–everything I’ve seen is quite lovely!

      • October 25, 2015 at 11:43 am

        Artemis – I’ll add a picture of what you received if you want to send me a picture at subbellaboxes at yahoo dot com, I’ll place it in this post. I am curious too!!!

        • Artemis
          October 25, 2015 at 12:38 pm

          I sent you an email! It is a copper cuff with dangling stainless steel hex nuts.

          • October 25, 2015 at 1:43 pm

            Thank you! I added it to the post.

      Wow! I have not received a shipping notice for mine, but will be excited to see what I get.

    I’ve been patiently waiting in the bushes by the mailboxes for my We Make Collective box that I ordered during their Kickstarter. I want to start weaving! It’s quite soothing, and since I don’t meditate, it’s the closest I get to being all yogi-esque. Also, I was charged for an Awesome Pack a couple of weeks ago, and will have to reach out to them because I haven’t gotten tracking or any sort of email.

    Oooer, and I did find a new-to-me box [because they liked one of my photos, great marketing technique!] called Gaia Collective. I like stones… so that one is tempting…

    • October 25, 2015 at 1:47 pm

      I always wondered how it worked when you fund a sub box through Kickstarter. Weaving sounds relaxing. It’s been awhile since I’ve been subscribed to Awesome pack. I can’t wait to see what you receive. I do remember that there were months when it shipped close to the end of the month. Gaia Collective looks interesting.

    I received the Supernatural and zombie themed Lit-Cube boxes. I’m very happy with both of those and combined with the horror themed book riot box I have lots of spooky new books to read!

    I also tried out Graze Box and will keep it for a bit. I figure it will help me avoid going to the cafeteria at work and buying crap snacks. So far so good.

    I got Petit Vour yesterday and love about 3/4 of it. It’s been consistently excellent for me.

    I’m still waiting on my Little Lace Box. Even though they send it 2 day shipping that never happens to the west coast. I’ll be lucky if I get it on Monday. I need to have it in my hands before making any decisions. They announced their December theme and a semi-spoiler on Facebook. It definitely has potential.

    • October 25, 2015 at 1:49 pm

      Enjoy your books! I love having a stack of books ready to read. I miss Petit Vour.

    I received the October Out of the Box Sampler and I love it! It is a definite fall sampler! Everything smells so yummy. I got pecan pie melts and an apple candle along with about 7 or 8 other items. I also received my first Freeman Mystery Box. It is amazing! I can’t believe how many full size products they put in this box. I’ve been subscribing to a Little Lace Box since last year. I got my box yesterday and this is the first box that I haven’t loved.

    • October 25, 2015 at 1:14 pm

      Oh that is good to know thanks Susie I am not into foodie scents but will likely get a December one since I do like winter scents!

    • October 25, 2015 at 1:50 pm

      Yay! I’m glad you liked it. I haven’t seen pictures of the Freeman Mystery Box yet. I am going to check your site to see if there’s a review 🙂

      • October 25, 2015 at 2:12 pm

        I’m a really bad blogger! I need to post something this week. But I just sent you a picture of what was in the box. I haven’t ever used any of their products, but I’m looking forward to trying these! Right now I’m arguing with the W’s because they refuse to go outside. We’ve had 8″ of rain in the last two days and their short legs do not like it! Thank goodness for subscription box candles!

    I’m also curious about Ellada Lane. They said they would ship in October though I haven’t seen anything yet on the interwebs. As a Greek Goddess, I frequent Greece and I particularly favor Santorini, so I’m genuinely curious what they come up with. I didn’t subscribe because that is too much for me to gamble on a surprise.

    Has anybody else ordered the Artistry Gifts breakfast box? It’s been a couple of weeks and it’s still processing…

    • October 25, 2015 at 1:53 pm

      Bad Kitty – I received my box on the 21st with my monthly themed box. I’ve been slow with the reviews beause everyone seems to have changeofseasonitis. First it was my older son at the beginning of the week, then my younger son, and now my husband is not feeling well.

      Have you contacted Melissa? She has always been cordial and helpful towards me.

    …or, rather, it shows up as “unfulfilled,” which makes me a little nervous.

    • October 25, 2015 at 1:54 pm

      I forgot to add that I am unsure if I received my box a little early because both boxes shipped together. Contact Melissa. She’s very helpful.

    I just got home and I did get my Globein box… I am … not super happy. It just wasn’t as awesome of a cup. I shall post soon. Sigh…

    • October 25, 2015 at 8:15 pm

      I don’t recall seeing that there would be GlobeIn mug variations, but I really wish they’d photographed other than the one main pretty one! I eagerly checked their site each day to see if they had posted the mug, then I saw that main mug was sold out and most of the variations were just… unappealing. I still ordered two. I think I got some blue designs.

      • October 25, 2015 at 8:20 pm

        Though, I did just check Instagram with #globein, and there were many other variations, like brown and blue mugs with designs. Interesting. Kinda neat, but I still want the tall cream mug with colorful patterns =)

      • Subscriptionista
        October 25, 2015 at 9:08 pm

        I didn’t see variations either until I saw my own. I feel bad even putting the spoilers on the site. Just really annoying to open it up and see my meh cup

        • CeciliaA
          October 25, 2015 at 9:11 pm

          I received an e-mail before the box shipped stating that there were two different size variations of the cup and that I could respond to the e-mail with the cup type I would prefer. I got lucky and received the cup type from the initial spoiler and a nice bright red pattern.

          • Subscriptionista
            October 25, 2015 at 10:53 pm

            I wanted what i saw. Your comment made me rethink things though. I think taking a step back the box is a great value for the money, and maybe I shouldn’t be so butthurt about it since I still like the cup lol CeciliaA brings the sunshine. Now we need CiCi to come in and tell me how good the chocolate will taste when I make it!

            I didn’t receive that email to choose a tall mug bc they accidentally canceled my account even though I still had 2 months left of the 3 months I had prepaid for – they finally shipped my box after I contacted them again so it should arrive this week. I loved the mug in the spoiler and have seen a couple other variations on other blogs… I hope I get one I like!

            October 27, 2015 at 7:31 am

            What timing! My GlobeIn came in the mail today and I got a tall mug! I like it.

            Subscriptionista, I’ll send you a picture of my mug in case you want to use it for anything? Heck maybe I’ll like yours better and you’ll like mine better… and we can swap! 🙂

    Sub Bella!
    Globe In spoiler is posted and it has your name on it!
    Theme is bedroom but it is not naughty…

    • October 26, 2015 at 6:37 pm

      Pnut. Thank you for letting me know! It was a rough women’s group meeting. I’m totally burned out on today. The spoiler made me smile. Thank you for letting me know.

      • October 26, 2015 at 8:46 pm

        Glad I made you smile. I totally had thoughts of Subista’s champagne forum hopes when I saw he theme but when I clicked on the spoiler I thought of you and your handsome little man’s huge smile.
        Feel better. Good think about being burned out is that it usually knocks you out to sleep. Tomorrow is another day to re-start chica!

        Sub Bella, sorry to hear you had another rough women’s group…. I thought of you and J too when I saw this GlobeIn spoiler! (Pnut, great minds!)

    I have a tracking number for the Decoterie Box/ The Box by LE! I’m very curious about it. I’m hoping it is a great box and that the box showcases what she is trying to explain in her emails. How do I label that post? The box by LE formerly known as Decoterie???

  13. October 29, 2015 at 7:12 am

    I’m amazed I was charged for the Jeremy Lin Quarterly box. Let’s see if it arrives before November 15. No movement on Decoterie. It was like that last time too. The tracking number went out a week before it shipped.
