Pusheen Box Winter 2016
My favorite little grey kitty box showed up on my doorstep before the Christmas festivities all wrapped up in a pretty pink bow! The 2016 Winter Box is my fourth quarterly package from Pusheen Box and because of that, I knew I would love every single item I received.
The Costs:
Quarterly Subscription (1 box) | $43.95 (+ $6 U.S. Shipping)
Annual Subscription (4 boxes) | $159.80 (+ $24 U.S. Shipping)
Good to know: All subscriptions renew (cancel anytime), are billed on the 15th of the month of the next subscription cycle, and the boxes ship worldwide!
*The Winter Box is now sold out. Visit PusheenBox.com and enter your email address to be notified once the Spring 2017 Box is open for new subscribers!
Pusheen Box is definitely pricey on the face of it, but hear me out… I purchased the annual subscription for $159.803 which brings the cost down to $39.95 per quarterly box… How do I justify this frivolous expense? Budgeting! I give myself an allowance for miscellaneous spending each month (mainly for eating out and coffee splurges.) All I have to do is set aside $13.32 per month and I will have saved enough for my Pusheen Boxes! So if I refrain from buying one lunch from a local eatery + one 12 oz 4-espresso-shot “shot in the dark” coffee drink from Dynamite Roasting Co. per month then BOOM! I can afford this subscription! 🙂
First Peek!
The information card provides details on all of the items in the box, including full-color photos! The exclusive Pusheen vinyl figure is prominently displayed on the left. Pusheen Box is extra special because all of the items are either completely exclusive to the subscription box or are first editions that are released within the box before going to the stores.
Cozy Pusheen Vinyl Figure – Exclusive!
Look at Pusheen all bundled up in her scarf and hat! Pusheen Box does a great job at branding, ensuring that every item’s packaging is completely covered in Pusheen cats.
Look at this sweet girl! She’s all dolled up with her bright striped scarf and pink & white winter hat! I must bring her to my office at work and display her prominently on my desk. This is my favorite vinyl so far!
Aaahhh! Those boots! OMG.
Pusheen Gift Wrap (2 sheets) & Gift Stickers (4 count) – Exclusive!
The gift wrap measures 19.69″ x 27.36″ and can be used for any gift-giving occasion! I received two sheets of the gift wrap and four stickers. Who will be the lucky recipient of a truly Pusheen-y present? Maybe one of you! 😉 2017 is going to be fun!
Pusheen Holiday Stamp Set
I’m such a sucker for stamps and all things stationery. I love how the majority of these stamps can be used after Christmas is over and done with.
Even the ink pad looks cute! Eeep! I cannot wait to get my 2017 planner… I waited way too long to order it. I’m going to use the Pusheen stamp with the heart over her head to mark the days when I need to go to mom’s house to clean kitty litter… and I think I’ll use the Pusheen doodling stamp for mapping out my blog posts!! SO excited.
I was relieved to find the ink pad fully usable. There have been way too many times when stamp sets arrive with dried up ink. *sad face* This is my favorite item in the Winter 2016 box!
Pusheen Printed Tape
Yay! More Pusheen stationery supplies! I admit I have not used a lot of washi tape as of late, but I am still very happy to receive a whole roll in the Winter box.
The tape is a metallic blue/grey and features Pusheen in all of her celebratory-party-hat-and-cupcake-eating glory!
Pusheen String Light Set
This light set includes eight plastic pusheen kitties that can be lit up and displayed where ever you’d like! The string of lights are attached to a plastic battery case that holds 2 AA batteries. I have not removed the lights from its carrying case yet. 2017 is the year for us to sell our house and move into a new one… these lights will look great in my new office, where ever that may be!
Pusheen Stainless Steel Thermos – Exclusive!
Another exclusive item in the box and this one is both practical and cute! 280mL is quite small though — it certainly won’t hold enough coffee for me, but will work perfectly as a tea thermos. (280mL = 9.47oz)
The body is made of a rubbery-type material, so beware of letting your kitties rub up against it. The lid is made of plastic with little whiskers that actually protrude from the head!! The box says to hand wash only (for quality assurance), though the thermos itself says it is dishwasher safe.
Would Pusheen be Pusheen without her tail? The details are amazing!
As promised, the thermos interior is made of stainless steel. The thermos is supposed to keep beverages hot or cold for up to 4 hours. Not too shabby!
Pusheen Tea Infuser – Exclusive!
I can always use another kitty cat tea infuser in my life! This one is made of perforated silicone and comes in two parts for easy filling. The infuser is dishwasher safe (yay!) and BPA free.
The “chain” is also made of silicone so there’s no chance of rust here! I’m so happy to have another tea infuser to use with my favorite teas. It’s really hard to go back to tea bags after drinking loose tea steeped in an infuser. The taste difference is really incredible.
Even the tea infuser comes with Pusheen’s little stubby tail! I love how the infuser can stand on its own without tipping over. I will be putting her to good use in the coming days. It’s COLD outside and hot tea always warms me up!
Pusheen Mittens & Scarf – Exclusive!
OMG! These are too cute! The gloves are 100% acrylic and the scarf is 100% polyester.
The mittens fold back and button to make fingerless gloves. There isn’t a hole for your thumb to pop through though, so texting may still require you to remove your mittens. The scarf is Pusheen – or is Pusheen a scarf? Both are equally adorable but since I have a huge collection of scarves and gloves already, we will be including this set in a giveaway coming up! Tell me you’re excited! 🙂 🙂
Final Thoughts
Goodness, I know I keep saying it but this has got to be my favorite Pusheen Box yet! At this point, I’m confident that any Pusheen Box is going to be exceptional. I’m always impressed by the usefulness, quality, and exclusivity of the items inside. There are several times when I’ve been tempted by Hey Chickadee’s sales (I know you feel me… and if you don’t, check them out HERE where you can find an abundance of Pusheen happiness); but for the most part, I have refrained from purchasing Pusheen items knowing that I’ll receive a box filled with exclusive items that I’ll actually use and love!
