December 2013 Popsugar Must Have Box Review

I was way more impressed with this month's Popsugar Must Have box than I was with November's, especially because mine had a special bonus inside (the Baublebar necklace) that I have been looking forward to for ages!  Without further ado, here is what was inside!


CC Made caramel corn, 3 oz. size -- I wish I could share a decent photo of this with you, but I...uh, ate the whole shebang before I remembered to get a picture of it.  It was pretty darn good.


Mixt Studio holiday gifting set -- This seemed like a bit of a strange addition to me since I feel like most people who are wrapping gifts probably already have purchased wrapping paper (no?  just me?)  and because not everyone celebrates Christmas (and this seems a bit Christmas-y to me).   I'll still use it though -- perhaps to wrap my secret santa gift for next week.


Modelco Fibre Lashxtend black mascara -- I was kind of bummed out by this addition not because I don't think it's nice, but because Popsugar *JUST* sent a different mascara in their October box -- and I really don't use mascara THAT often.


NCLA Peppermint Lane nail wraps -- these are just too....circus-y for my taste.  They will definitely be traded or regifted.


Govino Go Anywhere Flutes  - LOVE these!  They're non-breakable plastic champagne flutes -- perfect for a picnic outdoors, or, if you're like me, just having a non-sad looking glass you can use around your kids without worrying about it shattering!  They also have a little indent in the side where you can get a better grip on it with your thumb -- genius!


Lulu Frost for Popsugar bracelet.  Personally, I think this bracelet is HIDEOUS, even though it is valued at somewhere over $100 (it is gold & silver).  It looks like something that came out of a pirate's treasure chest, and not in a good way.  I think they were trying to go for a "festive" vibe here, but it's just so darn ugly you couldn't pay me to wear this.


Two bags of Ghirardelli Squares chocolates (special extra) - one bag of milk & caramel squares, and a holiday limited edition bag (mixed pumpkin spice caramel, peppermint bark, and eggnog).  Yum!  These are very tasty, and will definitely be gobbled up in my house (my toddler kept trying to steal the bags from me once I took them out of the box!)


I got this Baublebar necklace as a bonus for signing up starting with the December box, and I LOOOOOOOVE it (note:  this was a bonus, and not part of the regular box).  I am not usually a fan of gold jewelry of any kind, but this one is gold, silver, and bronze, and just looks so festive to me.  I plan to wear it to the slew of Christmas parties we have coming up -- I can't wait!

  1. I thought the charm was cute but went horribly with the brass bracelet. There are much more beautiful ways to mix metals; this is not one of them. I ended up taking out the charm and attaching it to a silver chain--it looks SO MUCH better now.

    What a wonderful review! I enjoyed hearing your thoughts on the items. :)

    1. What a great idea, Ellen! I may try that and see if I like the charm better then...you're right, it really is the mix of the metals that makes it look so wrong!
