    I was so looking forward to a Popsugar deal like last year’s. Oh well. I guess I’ll spend that money somewhere else.

    I’m going to pick up some Sudsy and some gift wrap from Artistry Gifts (that Santa fox paper will be so cute for my little ones!!). Oh, and I’m finally going to try Tatcha. I was tempted by the Birchbox and Kloverbox deals, but I need to decrease my stash, not add to it!

    I have not yet ventured out to shop yet, though we will head out soon. I hate shopping today, but it is the only day that my husband and I are both free and have child care to get some shopping done.

    I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! Thank you Subscriptionista, Sub Bella and Onderria for posting all of these amazing deals!

      *is sad too for no Popsugar*

      That Popsugar Today box looked nice but now worth the value that Popsugar usually has. Maybe Popsugar will have something Cyber Monday but I think their main goal is to unload all those LE boxes they spawned.

      I drowned my Popsugar loss by purchasing 6 month subscriptions to Kloverbox and fighting bunnies box. I also got into Sephora by luck and snapped up some $10 kits…

      • November 27, 2015 at 2:04 pm

        I’m noticing a certain blogger replying a few times on her website that she felt there would be no Popsugar deals. Maybe Cyber Monday, but who knows?

        I purchased the fighting bunnies. I’m looking forward to Pnuts review!!!

        • November 27, 2015 at 4:31 pm

          Yea I only noticed one mention yesterday and I was sad…
          Maybe they learn their lesson and do something soon to get back subscribers waiting for a code…

            *eats popcorn reading the FB’s PSMH page*
            A Pnut Re-enactment
            Villager: (politely) are you having a Black Friday code?
            PSMH: no we are having a LE box from the Today show that Hoda and Kathy just saw as well for the shortest segment ever. Please ignore the fact that they were all confused about that blush palette they were like WT?
            Villagers: (pitchforks at the ready) but we would rather have a code.
            PSMH: but you can buy one of our LE boxes there is something for everyone!
            Villagers: (pitchforks raised) but we want the code so we can gift HELLO
            PSMH: thank you for your input I just totally ignored it because I want you to spend money on our over supply of LE boxes before we discount them and all you villagers get pissed off.
            Villagers: (villaging) BIG MISTAKE PSMH BIG MISTAKE (real commentary of someone referencing Pretty Woman … that girl was totally right on lots of money went elsewhere for our bulk sub box fix).

          • November 27, 2015 at 11:03 pm

            LOL!!!! They might do a cyber Monday thang… Methinks they done fired who ever was coupon crazy and moved in a new direction.

            It’s annoying because we need the village to be happy…

      • November 27, 2015 at 7:49 pm

        I get both but fighting bunnies next month cuz my credit card didn’t update in time… Sigh!!!! It was a good month!

    Oh, I forgot to add that my Book Riot Best of 2015 isn’t going to arrive until tomorrow and I am out of town until the end of the week. Boo! But, the store is running a 30% off sale today (excludes their boxes though).

      I just ordered the Book Riot Best of 2015 box. I really liked the Horror Box so I’m hoping this one is just as good. I think I’m going to take advantage of the Owl Crate deal; I’m not really a YA reader but I enjoy them on occasion (I usually read a heavy book then a lighter book) and their extras are always nice.

      I too am disappointed in the lack of a PopSugar deal but figure I’ll save the money and cancel that sub once my prepaid boxes have been delivered.

      I also did a fighting bunnies order.

    i have purchased nothing for my kids for xmas or their birthdays. i cannot think of anything to get them and they can’t think of anything they want. it’s really stressing me out.

    • November 27, 2015 at 2:06 pm

      I spent yesterday at Kohls with my older son buying him sports pants, dress shirts etc. It’s what he wanted for Christmas. We lucked out that a tie vendor was working in the area. He was incredibly helpful.

      I hope you figure it out!

      • November 27, 2015 at 8:03 pm

        i got the minecraft playset from target. my aunt is going to pickit up from the target on the beach. i got A an anna sparkle barbie and mastermind for kids. i’m also getting her the zoomer zuppy on monday from walmart. that might be her big toy – she wants toys but doesn’t play with them. we just opened boodles and there are lots of schwaggy things in there. we cannot conscientiously purchase her art supplies because she gets everything she needs.

        i got the nerd block deal before they corrected it for classic & sci fi block. and psmh today. i have to pick up LWF for a year, otherwise… i don’t know what else. i bought tom a clarisonic alpha fit.

        and snowpants and snow boots and xmas jammies. the big kids get xmas things for their birthdays. SORRY KIDS.

        fyi – a certain box said last week there wasn’t going to be a black friday deal.

        i didn’t buy anything at GT because the cape i wanted was sold out by the time i got there. and we didn’t do the fabletics deal because i forgot to skip last month and it won’t apply it or save my credit for later, so F it. i’m a little too braindead to worry about any of them.

        OH my husband bought me the pineapple glasses from bespoke post <3

        • November 27, 2015 at 9:33 pm

          Pineapple glasses!

          Inquiring minds want to know if a certain box said no Cyber Monday deals.

          I’m glad that you were able to buy presents!

    • November 27, 2015 at 7:50 pm

      It stresses me out when I ask family and they don’t have an answer for what they want. I NEED direction! Who knows what I’ll give if left to my own devices???

    Yes, my eyes are glazing over from too many deals!!

    I placed orders with Kosmatology (30% off – I’ve been dying to try the Rosemary Spearmint hand soap!) and Wandering Goods (20% off – had to try the Spearmint Drifter soap… are you sensing a theme here?). I ordered other items from them as well but had to pay shipping – I understand but “boo!” anyway. I was going to place an order with Butter Bar (yes, I want to the try the Chocolate Mint scrub & butter!!) but that shipping might be a little too steep for me even with 35% off the products… and I really don’t want $99 worth – if you do, shipping is free. Still thinking about it though.

    I’ve placed an order with Birchbox (including 1 yr sub!) with my ACES 30% off. And I did my first Honest Company bundle for 50% off. Oh, and I got a Flicker & Flame sub for 50% off my first month. (As my Subista stalker already knew I wanted to… lol)

    For my husband, I did Mantry for $35 ($40 off $75 price for the first month!) and Baklavva Box for 50% off the first month.

    I still want to get Herbal Bliss, Kloverbox (maybe just 3 months so have to wait until tomorrow), and LaRitzy for 40% off the first box… plus a few others!! Giving my credit card a break while I eat lunch and read my book.

    • November 27, 2015 at 2:08 pm

      I hate paying for shipping. It’s a necessary evil. Your list looks great!

    • November 28, 2015 at 5:15 pm

      Heat, I also got in on that Birchbox year for 30% off! I know I said I didn’t need more samples, but I couldn’t resist. As long as they don’t send me any more Harvey Prince or dry shampoo!!! Grr. A year of Birchbox, a mini They’re Real! Benefit mascara, plus a sample pack cost $93 after my discount and tax. Then I’ll get $60 in BB points after reviews = worth it. Sub that pays for itself.

      • November 28, 2015 at 8:46 pm

        I caved in and ordered it. I received 72 review points in the past 12 months.

        • November 28, 2015 at 8:56 pm

          OMG this makes me sooooooo happy! A Monthly Subscriptionista Birchbox Face-off. Who will reign supreme? Who will be boring and get the curated box 90% of them time (Pnut), who will have box envy, who will receive the most perfume samples? Stay tuned on Subscriptionista…

            Ha! I can’t wait to see the Birchbox showdowns! The readers can all vote on whose box they like the best. 😉

            (And someone needs to make sure Sub Bella reviews all her products for points so that the sub pays for itself… Onderria?)

  5. November 27, 2015 at 12:18 pm

    Kosmatology Black Friday Code is Green30 for 30% off through Cyber Monday. Wandering Goods code is winterwanderland for 20% off through Cyber Monday. I need to add them to the other post.

  6. November 27, 2015 at 9:44 pm

    I think last year deals were better. Maybe it was because it was my first sub box Black Friday??? I did not renew Birchbox. I did purchase 6 months of Petit Vour in place of BirchBox. I purchased the LaRitzy Deal, Spangle Science Club deal, Hammock Pack one-time mystery box, a year to Herbal Bliss. I think I forgot one. I am on the fence about Good Being. I want to know what it looks like before committing for 6 months. The Yogi Surprise Box.

    I was disappointed that there weren’t many long term deals on the boxes I like.

    • Heat7918
      November 29, 2015 at 11:55 am

      I wasn’t aware of sub boxes last year (I got in the game around Feb – boo!), but it sounds like last year had some better deals. I even looked up a couple specifically – for instance: Love with Food offered 20% off last year but this year it’s only 15%. Definitely would have preferred more deals for some longer term subs rather than just a deal on 1 box. Oh well, it’s probably better for me in the long run.

      And as I mentioned in my post above, I did end up adding 3 months of Herbal Bliss and Kloverbox! And 1 month of LaRitzy… sigh.

    So, what is this fighting bunnies box? I’ve tried looking it up and I wont tell you what kind of ridiculous search results I got, lol.
    I too am disappointed if Popsugar doesn’t have a coupon deal, I will not renew. I have the $10 off a box coupons that were in October’s box so I can still order December and then I will just have to settle for trying to swap for my “must haves” lol. And I will still probably order the special edition boxes as well. I didn’t do any shopping for Black Friday but I have two luxor boxes and a popsugar holiday for her coming so I don’t need to spend any more on myself.

      Fighting bunnies = Petit Vour

      I can’t wait to hear what’s in your Luxor boxes! Sooo jealous.

      • November 28, 2015 at 8:51 am

        You posted while I was typing! I’m verbose LOL.

      Subscriptionista came up with a funny story about the Petit Vour boxes back in August. http://subscriptionista.com/2015/08/petit-vour-review-august-2015/

      I can’t remember how, but along the way Petit Vour developed into the fighting bunnies box. They are fighting for their rights.A few of us started discussing how we missed the fighting bunnies box and loved that month’s box.

      A very prominent subscription blog has an exclusive Black Friday deal. You can google Petit Vour Black Friday Deal. It should still be live. I am not mentioning the name out of respect for Brandy from Hello Subscription and Beeju from Beeju Boxes. Both bloggers were instrumental in helping us navigate changes to our blog.

      I can’t remember the whole story how it came to be, but it was funny at the time. I think Pnut came up with it.

      Fighting Bunnies = Petite Vour!
      I need to find those $10 Popsugar cards especially if no Cyber Moday code is not given if December box rocks because $10 clams is better than $5 clams of savings (although I think the $10 cards require a new email account).

    Wow, lots of fun here with the Subsistahs. I have Luxor SE, PSMH Le for him and her on their way for gifting. Thank you all.

    • November 29, 2015 at 9:22 am

      I just saw this! The soap looks SOOOO pretty!!!!!

      Why is this your favorite?

    Hi, Subscriptionista, Whipped upp soap smells great, made with real ingredients that pamper skin, and is so pretty. I love the snowman, snowflake, and Japanese cherry soap. :0)
