It’s Subless Sunday! Share with us your excitement and disappointment with the subscription box world!!! It’s also the tail end of Black Friday shopping!!!
Did you purchase wonderful gifts for your family and friends?
Are you disappointed that the Cute Kitten of the Month Subscription Box never materialized?
Will you be running to the door in anticipation of all the wonderful boxes that you ordered this weekend?
Are you hiding in your house on Cyber Monday just in case a PopSugar deal shows up?
Zelda says, “Stare into my eyes. I predict no Cyber Monday PopSugar deal.” We will find out if she is correct tomorrow.
Are you tired out from shopping this weekend and can’t wait to go back to work to recover.
Do you miss Little Lamb pictures?
Tell us all!!! What Black Friday deals did you score? What was your favorite deal? Did anything stand out?
And of course…
Tell us all! Is there a box that you regret not ordering? An item that you desire? A great box? An amazing item? Share below and whatever else is on your mind!
I like to point out that Zelda and I have no inside knowledge about PopSugar. We are basing our opinion on the fact that last year PopSugar was in a really bad place. The cutover/transition to the new website created a lot of issues. October PopSugar box went out late. The fall LE box had a lukewarm reception. Popsugar monthly boxes were being discounted and given away for free with purchase of the Holiday LE box. Returns were offered for the fashion LE box. They are not in the same spot this year. The LE boxes are popular this year. The monthly boxes are better curated.
It’s not to say there is no PopSugar Cyber Monday deal. There could be one. We’ll see what comes tomorrow.
I miss Little Lamb and based on the above good points you made, I think Popsugar too.
I do miss Little Lamb pictures – he’s beautiful!
With Thanksgiving and Black Friday, I haven’t seen too many actual sub box reviews this week. And I shopped so much Friday & Saturday – plus I have to work tomorrow – that I doubt I’ll do much, if any, shopping on Cyber Monday.
There are still a few deals that I’m considering buying today… but I really shouldn’t!! Terra Bella (don’t need but a $20 Trial Box sounds nice), BeautyFix (recently canceled but now I want to buy with another email address for $5), BoxyCharm (also recently canceled b/c of product overload but wouldn’t mind another box for 20% off), OleaBox (on my period right now and miserable), Clean Bar Box (don’t need since I just ordered soaps from Sudsy and Wandering Goods!!), Julep (I so don’t need anything but all their stuff is soooo preeeeetty), Linen Crate (don’t need but 50% off…) – I need help!! Seriously, somebody stop me! Please… LOL
Everyone has their own things they love about soap. There are reviews on the soap box that you mentioned that shows the ingredients. I prefer essential oils over fragrances.Go through their reviews and read the ingredients. It’s interesting. Once again, everyone has their own opinion on soap.
Linen Crate is now contemporary only. Terra Bella and Beautyfix are great deals. My sister received a different TOTM box and loved it. Maybe it will make you feel less miserable 🙂
I forgot! Little Lamb is busy doing farm stuff at the farm. His beautiful fur is a bit dirty.
Yeah, I saw that about the soap which is why I haven’t pulled the trigger. I caved on Terra Bella! (One time Trial Box) Still might get BeautyFux and/or OleaBox. Need to look at Linen Crate reviews uses again – my house is mostly contemporary so it might work!
So what you are saying is, we each get on our soap boxes about soap? ; 0)
Black Friday was a complete bust for me. I ventured out into the crowds to shop and came up virtually empty-handed. We did much better on Small Business Saturday which actually makes me kind of glad. There are a few more Christmas gifts I want to buy online and I am waiting until tomorrow in case there are some good Cyber Monday deals.
Sub Bella, I agree with your analysis on Popsugar. I don’t think they’ll be a code either.
On the sub box front, when I get home, I expect to find my Book Riot Best of 2015, Sun of a Chic and AZ Copper Creations. Also my Sudsy order. I already cancelled Sun of a Chic and will probably also cancel AZ Copper Creations. Remarkably, I wasn’t tempted to add sub boxes based on Black Friday deals – I think I am too overwhelmed with stuff right now.
Oh no! I hope Cyber Monday works out for you. Send me a picture of your AZ Cooper Creations if you want me to include it in the next Subless Sunday. We are always curious.
Will do!
I had to sit on my hands all weekend and not buy anything. It was quite difficult! There might be a large four-legged creature entering my life in the next few weeks and I have to save up for all those costs.
Oh! Oh! Are you getting a pony??
Bahaha, Heat guessed pony but my first guess was a giant spider with four legs! Giant spiders would need boots and lots of contacts…
Haha, I actually might be getting a horse, yes. I’ve been looking into a few leases since I need a jumper (I might live on a horse farm…)
Can you ask Zelda again about the Popsugar deal? I am hoping she is like a magic eight ball and we might get another answer if we ask again……
Zelda says good news is heading your way. Her owner is too tired to disclose the details tonight. Tomorrow the news will arrive.
*hits refresh at sub box blogs until she passes out*
Nothing has piqued my interest except your above comment. The one day Sub Bella doesn’t blog after midnight … but I get it must be a good rumor source though for Zelda’s magic eight ball prediction!
Sorry. There are PopSugar Stuffing Boxes LOL. Not quite the deal that people want. I am happy because I was able to pick up the Missoni candle and the beautiful box. Now if only USPS delivers it without breaking the items inside.
I was eyeing that but …
We moved in today!!!
I spent some money on the Steals Network Cyber Monday 25% off everything. I got some more Aden and Anais and some other stuff. I heart Aden and Anais the brand is the bomb but the owner needs a PR representative she does not know how to handle customer service.
I sent an email to Boxycharm the code that was good til 11/30 is invalid :/
This site brings me joy. Nobody is ever complaining about every item in every box. Plus y’all are funny. It’s been an icky year, so I appreciate anything that brings me joy. I did not go shopping at all this weekend. And I didn’t order any new subscriptions. I did order a few holiday boxes because those are my favorite. Just about all of my subs expire in March. I’m probably going to just stick to special edition boxes. I’ve discovered that giving stuff away makes me happy. If you know of any women who are going through a rough time, go to The caring crate Facebook page and private message me their info. I will send them a box of encouragement. The card will say “You have been encouraged by (your name) and the caring crate. There is no charge. I have a few spots open for December. Once those fill up, I will put any names I get in the January slots. It’s not saving lives, but it is sending encouragement one small box at a time! I put a locket full of mustard seed in every box along with a journal and a pen. Then I fill the box up with things like lip balms, hand lotions, tissues, fuzzy socks, tea towels, inspirational books, hair care, etc. If you want to nominate someone and you don’t have Facebook, you can email me direct at adairmarys@yahoo.com.
I am a RAOKer like yourself but wow that really is awesome of you to go out of your way for strangers *hearts this*
Thank you, Susie Adair, you are a gem.
THERE ARE NEW POPSUGAR BOXES!!! Check out Hello Subscription to see them!!!
I wish I would have ordered from Sudsy, but I was overwhelmed by all the deals and I only have the funds for a few gifts for myself (it was my birthday on Friday). I took advantage of the crazy good deal on Being and I picked up a few goodies from Meraki. I’m still debating the LaRitzy deal.
FYI, I got an email from Meow Meow Tweet for 20% off with code ROBOCAT for Cyber Monday.
Overall, I was not impressed with most of the “sales” I saw. I’m wondering if they will be better after the holidays… Either way, I will be stalking this blog in hopes of more deals today (and everyday). 🙂
Thanks, LC. I will include the code.I forgot about Meraki! So many brands we love!
Sudsy and Co is offering free shipping today.
Sudsy and Co soap, TATCHA and Birchbox arrived today.
My Sudsy & Co. and Kosmatology arrived today! So excited!!
Yay!
Score for Subbella and Heat! I got a shirt from swap site.
I got a little seahorse from Heat =D and my White Peach Pottery box. I’m really confused what the contents are. Sub Bella, have you gotten yours??
I’m wrapping up my night and saw in an email from RueLaLa that Popsugar is coming back. I am looking for my Ruelala password to see if I can find more information. What does that mean? It looks like the stocking stuffers.
