Well what do you know, my September PopSugar Box appeared on my porch today! I was shocked when I saw that it was out for delivery this morning and didn’t want to get my hopes up in case it was some sick joke, but nope, there it was! I may have scared the dogs with how excited I was to see that thing!
PopSugar ships via FedEx Smart Post and typically takes at least a week to arrive to me. This month, however, it was only 5 days. I’m going to consider it an anniversary present that it came early and not get my hopes up that it will happen again in future months.
I knew what was in the box, but that doesn’t make first looks any less fun. Okay, maybe it does a little. My cousin (the one who went to the Birchbox Local event in NYC for me) got her box yesterday and texted me right away saying how fabulous it was and how she loved it all! And then proceeded to make me jealous that she had her box and mine hadn’t arrived yet!
According to the card, “the September Box is all about doing it yourself, whether that means starting a new project making something for you or a friend, beautifying your home, or tackling an endurance workout”. As always, PopSugar does an information booklet instead of just a little information card. Each item has a separate little page which discusses the products and tells you what “Must Have” category they fit into.
Must Have Home
~Barr Co. Diffuser ($45): I’ve been so anxious to smell this ever since I saw the PopSugar spoilers and I am super excited that I like the scent. It’s a blend of “milk, oatmeal and vetiver (aka grass)” and smells amazing. It’s way better than the diffusers I keep buying on clearance at Target, but then again, it’s 10x as much ;). I’m hoping it lasts as long as the diffuser we got last fall did because that thing stayed good for gosh, 6-7 months?
Must Have Fashion
~P.S. You’re Invited (40+ DIY Projects for All Your Fashion, Home Decor & Entertaining Needs) ($15.91): This book is by the founder / creator of “P.S. I Made This” and I have done a few of her projects that came in the Limited Edition Birchbox Home boxes. They are always trendy and adorable and don’t stress me out which is key. I can’t wait to dig through this book to figure out what project I will do first!
Must Have Home
~Rifle Paper Co. Botanical Coaster Set ($16): Rifle Paper Co. has some of the cutest paper products and we’ve actually seen them in a previous PopSugar Box (we got the Lined Paper Notepad last fall). These coasters don’t “match” my office, but I am using them in there anyway.
Must Have Beauty
~Kitsch Headband Set ($11.99): I may be most excited about these. My hair tie collection is huge, but headbands are harder to come by. My crazy post-baby bangs are still growing and it drives me batty when they fall out when I pull my hair back. These couldn’t have come at a better time.
Must Have Fashion
~Shoptiques Gift Card ($25): I haven’t gotten a chance to browse much at Shoptiques, but I’m totally using my gift card on something. It’s actual gift card, so you can apply it to shipping costs too, which is awesome. I also believe it will stack with coupon codes, however, I can’t find any right now.
Must Have Food
~That’s It. Bar ($1.67): No real thoughts about this bar. I’ll happy try it, but I’m not OMGSOEXCITED about it.
Must Have Fitness
~Sharkies Energy Snacks ($1.70): I’m going to save these for B because he’s got a race this weekend something tells me he’s going to need a little energy either for this thing. He’s running the Iron Warrior Dash, which is 15.6 miles of running and obstacles. Ouch!
All totaled I came up with a value of $117.27 for the September PopSugar Box! I use actual prices and not suggested retail prices, so my valuations are typically on the lower end. I thought this was another fabulous PopSugar box and as always, I am giving away a September box to one of you guys! All you need to do is enter in Rafflecopter below and you’ll be all set! I’m not totally sure if I can ship a diffuser (all that liquid has me wondering) out of the country, so this is U.S. Residents Only -sorry ;(.
And of course, if you are interested in subscribing to PopSugar, click here and use the coupon code REFER5 to save $5 off your first month.
