Two questions today…

1. What is the one closed subscription box that you miss the most? I don’t know if I can narrow mine down to just one. I really miss Citrus Lane and I miss Goodies too. Citrus Lane was a baby / kid box that just recently closed and Goodies was a snack box from WalMart that closed years ago. It was $7/month and was just a fun inexpensive box with good snacks. Their Kid’s Snack box was even better than the original in my opinion too.

2. What is the most interesting / oddest thing you have ever received in a subscripton box? The February Loot Crate ears soap-on-a-rope is right up there for me, as was an “F the Rain” umbrella from the Pink Fancy box (they are also closed) which featured a giant middle finger.  I also received a pair of pony tassel earrings that I would have went nuts for as a 3rd grader in the 80’s.  I really need to see if I still have those.

I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on these!

    OMG! I need 2 of those ears on a rope…one for the hubby and one for my dad. Any idea where I can find them?

    Not at all related to your questions but did everyone get charged for Popsugar last month? I know they switched to charging at the end of the month but I didn’t get one. :/

      I believe they only charged at the end of the month for the February box. March boxes (I believe) will be charged in the next few days like they did in the past.

    I want to see the pony earrings I didn’t see them in the link. Am I missing something? I know, very important. Lol

    Little Black Box was fun when it was a trading site, though I always had more fun trading than opening the box, haha. I never subscribed monthly but I also liked Eco Emi, for the mystery boxes. I think both closed/changed the way they worked.

    Can’t think of anything weird or really memorable I’ve received over the years.

    My favorite box of all time was Pashbox – you got a few different scarves each quarter, plus a couple of other little extras. Such a good value and never once did I get anything I didn’t at least like. I was so sad when she sent out emails letting her subscribers know she was closing her doors. Sigh. I still feel gut punched from it (lol! not really, but it was a great box!).

    As for the most interesting thing I’ve ever received….hmmm, depending on how we’d define “interesting”. Every so often I run across items I received from boxes and think what the heck will I ever do with this thing? yet I still have it for some unknown reason. I got this horrible black fedora from SocialBliss – I think it was their first box – I kept it thinking it might work for me maybe someday? But that day never came and it still sits in my closet. At this point I am waiting for someone to need it for a Halloween costume. 😉
