B’s PopSugar Must Have Luxury Edition “For Him” Box arrived yesterday and you know I had to sneek a peek at everything. B is much better about waiting for things than I am, so he doesn’t want to open it until Christmas morning (*). He just laughed when I took the box down in the basement to take pictures.  I think he was secretly relieved I was taking pictures of it yesterday instead of Christmas Day because now he can tear that thing apart how every he pleases without me being all wait, I need a picture.

Like the woman’s luxury PopSugar box, this was in a plain brown box and didn’t have any sort of PopSugar label. And in case you care, it weighed 5.8lbs. Also, it didn’t have a ribbon on it like the woman’s box did.

Just like the woman’s box, all the items were wrapped in black / silver tissue paper.

I didn’t get a chance to look at the booklet too much because I was suppose to be wrapping presents too, but it looks like the woman’s one. Fancy paper, lots of pages.

Okay, enough of all that, here is what was inside:

~Heys Touch Screen Digital Luggage Scale ($35): Since B doesn’t travel too much anymore and isn’t a Platinum Delta member or whatever, we don’t get to bring as many bags, weighing whatever they like when we travel ;(. Nope, we are going to have to start playing by the rules. So I think B is going to find this very useful. It’s easy to weigh your bad when you are at home. But when you are on your way home, in a hotel room? Not so easy! This will travel with him (us) from now on for sure.

~Blind Barber Wild Watermint Gin After Shave ($28): I know nothing about After Shave so I cannot offer an opinion.  B has never tried this brand before, so I think he’ll like it!

~Blind Barber Wild Watermint Gin Shave Cream ($24):  Again, I have no opinion / thoughts on this, but it’s pretty expensive, so it totally fits with the luxurious theme.

~Vosges Mo’s Milk Chocolate Bacon Bar($7.50): B is going to love this!  I am guessing it will be gone on Christmas morning.    I got a bacon chocolate bar in my last Birchbox and he loved it, so this is going to be a huge hit.

~Dollar Shave Club Razor / Blades($18): It turns out B’s box is missing the blades that are suppose to be included with this. I e-mailed PopSugar and I am certain they will take care of it. This isn’t just a razor and blades and that’s it. You actually get two months free from Dollar Shave Club! Razors are a hot item around here and B will love this.

~J.FOLD Wallet($59.50): Years and years ago, B actually had a J.FOLD wallet. Somewhere along the line, it got retired in favor of a money clip. I am not sure if he will ever use this or not? It’s a very nice wallet, but then again, he doesn’t carry a wallet anymore. We’ll see.

~Stolen Riches Dress Shoe Laces($17.50): Okay, at first I thought these were so dumb. And then I looked at the website and thought, they, those guys look pretty cool. But the issue here is that B doesn’t own any tie dress shoes. Is that weird? He does go through shoes very quickly though, so maybe his next pair will be tie shoes!

~Slant Shack Jerky($4.12): B is going to be thrilled with this. There is nothing else to say about it!

~Shot Flask ($25): A Caskers shipment just happened to arrive at the same time this did yesterday, so I find this a very fitting addition to the box. It’s a cool idea and I can totally see B wanting something like this. He doesn’t carry a flask around with him much ever, but he’ll like this.  Oh wait, I believe he wants to attend bonnaroo next year, so perhaps he does have a need for one?

~Casabella Silicone Big Ice Trays($11.99): If B doesn’t like these, I wouldn’t mind getting my hands on them. He uses whiskey stones when he makes a drink drink and ice maker ice for like water and stuff, so I can’t see him actually making ice cubes (like it’s so hard or something). But I can imagine L and I making giant crayons with these and I am excited!

~workin stiffs Knotz Cufflinks($9.50): I know a lot of metal complained about getting cufflinks in the box and wondered who even wears cufflinks. Well, I am here to tell you that B does! I don’t think these are overly amazing, but they are kind of fun.

~GoSwype($1.99): I wouldn’t call this luxurious by any means, but it’s a useful item and I guessing it will end up in B’s car or at his office.

All totaled, I came up with a value of  $242.  In comparison, I came up with a value of $275 for the woman’s PopSugar Luxury Edition Must Have Box. Still not bad considering the box cost $100. Would I have paid $242 for it? No. Was it worth $100? Yes!

Did you buy the Luxury Box?  What’d you think?  I don’t think B will be disappointed, but he’s not going to OMGTHISISSOAMAZING either! And if you are interested in becoming a subscriber to PopSugar’s monthly Must Have box, click here!
