Popsugar Must Have Box December and Discount

Popsugar Must Have Box is my favorite box I get for myself.  It is always worth over $100.00 and it is filled with all the must have items from food, to home, to fashion and more.  One of the things I like about Popsugar, is even if I don't love everything in a box, I always get my money's worth.  Popsugar Must Have box is $39.99 a month, but you can use the code REFER5 to save $5.00 on your first month.
The Box
First Look
I love Popsugar's white and pink boxes.
Information Card
Popsugar always included an detailed information card for every product in the box.
Ghiradelli Squares Holiday Limited Edition Assortment $4.98
Ghiradelli Squares Milk and Caramel $4.25
Ghiradelli makes great chocolate.  I like the milk and caramel chocolates the best.  The Peppermint Bark is really tasty too.  I have the Pumpkin Spice Caramel and Eggnog flavors to C, he is very happy.
Lulu Frost For Popsugar Bracelet $110.00
This was made exclusively for the December Popsugar box.   I like this bracelet.  It reminds me of the Joan of Arc box from Project DIY.  I wouldn't pay $110.00 for it, but I like it.
NCLA Peppermint Lane $16.00
I have been wanting to try nail wraps, but didn't know what brand to try.  These are beautiful and perfect for Christmas.  I am going to try these out this week.
CC Made Caramel Popcorn $4.00
Popcorn!  If every box included popcorn, I would be very happy.  This is caramel popcorn with roasted pistachios.  This was a unique twist on caramel corn.  This would be a great git for a Christmas stocking.
Mixt Studio Wrapping Paper $9.00
This wrapping paper is made from recycled materials.  Gift tags and twine have also been included with the wrapping paper.  The wrapping paper is cute, but I would never pay $9.00 for wrapping paper.
Model Co Lash X Tend $20.00
This mascara promises to be clump free and give you voluminous lashes without having to use false eyelashes.  There is also a mirror on the side, so you can apply it any time.  Model Co also included a $10.00 off coupon in the box.
Govino Go Anywhere Flutes $12.95
There are 4, 8 oz flutes in the box and they are made of plastic.  They also have a thumb grove in them.  These are perfect for me.  I have two small children, so fragile crystal is not something I want laying around.   I actually prefer to drink from plastic glasses.

Final Thought:  The total value for this box was $181.18.  While I think the bracelet was a little over priced, I really enjoyed this box.  Ever time I receive my Popsugar box, it feels like my birthday.  If you are looking for a great all around subscription box for women, Popsugar may be your box.  If you are interested in signing up, click HERE and use the code REFER5 to save $5.00 off your first box.

December Stork Stack and Discount

I always look forward to my Stork Stack.  I almost always like my boxes and they are generally filled with unique things.  Stork Stack is $27.99 a month, but if you click HERE and use the code EA4827B9.  This month's theme was “Toy Chest”.  I was really excited to see what would be in the box.  This box was for a 21 month old boy.
The Box
I say this every time, but I really love Stork Stack's boxes.

Melissa and Doug Grasping Giraffe $9.95
From Stork Stack “Everyone will want a turn to swivel, pivot and rotate the nine hardwood segments of this charming giraffe! Put this patient fellow in every possible configuration for fascinating fine motor fun. Held together with durable, elastic bungee, this wooden baby toy is sure to hold the attention of your youngster!”
We actually have this from my older son.  It is a great toy, but T has outgrown it.  This is for a younger child than T.  I would rather have a toy T could grow into, since he is almost 2.
Edushape Ball 4″ $4.12
From Stork Stack “EDUSHAPE® Ltd. is family owned & operated providing product to the global educational, toy and specialty markets. Established in 1983, our main focus is to manufacture quality children’s toy & products. EDUSHAPE® Ltd. is committed to producing soft, safe, quality children’s toys which ultimately promote successful developmental learning through play. Our main focus is for children ages: birth to 5 years old.”
This is a nice ball that T loves, but it is slightly under-filled.  I am not sure if it is supposed to be under-filled, so I have sent Stork Stack an email.
Pretzel Crisps 1oz .44 cents
From Stork Stack “PRETZEL CRISPS® give you that satisfying, hearty crunch in a versatile shape that’s dippable, spreadable, and deliciously snackable. With great gourmet taste from naturally wholesome ingredients, it’s the perfect snack anytime!”
These were so good and I was really impressed with how tasty they were.  I have actually ordered more on Amazon!
Honest Kids Juice .62 cents
From Stork Stack “Honest Tea is excited to introduce Honest Kids in a new “fruit-juice sweetened” formulation. All five varieties have been updated by removing the organic cane sugar and increasing the juice content – now between 30-42% depending on variety.”
T doesn't drink anything but milk, so I am going to let L try it.
Cloud B Lovie Turtle $9.95
From Stork Stack “These velvety-soft lovies make the sweetest, snuggliest security blankets. Founded in 2002, Cloud b is the world’s leading manufacturer of products and accessories that help parents and children sleep. They hold the honor of being internationally recognized as the number one company in the sleep niche category – thanks to high-quality designs, exceptional safety standards and products that are proven to help children sleep safely and soundly through all stages of  development.”
This is super cute, the turtle's head pop's through the hole in the blanket.  I really love how cute it is, but it is again a bit young.  T has a bear he loves, and I don't think he will play with this much.  He hasn't actually played with it at all yet.
Final Thought: The total value of this box was $25.08.  I am very disappointed in this box.  I feel the giraffe and lovie were too young for a 21 month old.  The ball was okay, but under filled.  The drink and chips were only worth $1.00 or so.  I don't like that the box was worth less than the $27.99 regular price.  I am not sure if I will give Stork Stack another month or not.  I have been very impressed with Austin Lloyd, and may switch my subscription.  If you want to try Stork Stack, click HERE and use the code EA4827B9 to save $10.00 on your first box.
