Has anyone out there gotten the Surprise Box from TAC? I know it costs $50 and you get $100 minimum of product. I am not a grabbag kind of person, but I was so pleased with my free TACbag that I am thinking about it. I got way more for my money than I ever expected. Anyone taken the bait yet?
And I got over $200 worth of stuff in it. Over on Paper Wings, the general concensus is that they are getting about $225 worth of stuff.
Since I don't personally like the "check my blog" response, I will cut and paste it here so I don't send you there lol
Here's what I got in mine:
VW Bug Mug
Bazzinks (2) mono pinks and purples

Reason: spellin'
I love that mug...how fun is that?!?! I think too that generally everyone is thrilled with theirs. :grin: What you don't need, you can always "regift"! tee hee...
I caved and ordered one for myself yesterday after I reading how fab they were over on Paper Wings. And if you don't like what you get, there is a great "Surprise Box Trade" PW thread started.
I purchase one Surpise box this year. I am very happy with what I found in my Surpise box.
I do Love the VW Mug which I will be taking with me. When I go to my Meet-up groups Crop nights.
One thing I did do with mine is I put my Name, My blog, My TAC website and Phone # on it. I took my Slick write Black pen and wrote this on the bottom of the Mug. Since the Slick Pen is Waterproof I thought this would be a good thing to use.
My SB was filled with $200.00 worth of Products.
Most of the things that come in the SB are things that were Retired last year.
And sometimes the year before.
Just curious, but did your mug happen to have a straw with it? Mine didn't...
No it didn't come with one. and I don't think it was listed when they were selling them under Demo Supplies either. I could be wrong.
I'm sure you can find a Straw for your mug if you wanted one. I know we have a couple of them around the house from other mugs that we have purchased else where.
I never am an alarmist about worrying about something running out, BUT! that is one thing they did run out of before and sniff, sniff, this year, my beloved Vintage Holiday paper!
Thank you for all the info. It sounds like I may have to go for it. I couldn't find the thread over on Paperwings. I didn't have long to look though. I'll try again now.

I just read on the Company Updates for demos that the number of Surprise Boxes has almost been depleted! :shock: Yikes...they said "first come, first serve so order today".
It's a site that two TAC Angels started about a year ago. The forum is just for Angels, but the gallery is open for anyone to see--except right now they are making some improvements to the site, so you might not be able to access it right now.

Wow! And I was going to wait another week to place my order. I guess I better get my order in tonight! Christmas is coming early to me this year.
It will feel like Christmas...I know when I got one I felt all shakey inside as I opened it. One gal just posted on the demo loop that she got a Click-it in hers!
aw thanks! It's very true tho lol. I hid a hot foil machine in my closet for 2 months when he finally asked me whatever happened to the auction for the machine. I was like gee I don't know...it's been in my closet for a long time lol.

Woohoo a box and two super stamp sets should start their journey to me next week hopefully! I was so worried I'd miss out on the surprise box assortments but I was glad to find out I didn't!

Hey I got one of those - can some kind person enlighten me as to what it actually is? Can there be a tool out there that I didn't know about? Obviously, TAC knew I "needed" it....
I got lots of other cool stuff, ribbon, eyelets, brads, ink, stickles (yeh for me!! love that bling) perfect pearls, fibers, and a technique DVD, a TAC luggage tag, a TAC key chain, a Kaleidescope pad and more things I can't remember off the top of my head. I can't believe how much was in that box!!

the click it tool is used for making holes in your Cardstock for adding eyelets and brads. Different size holes for different size eyelets.
Just 33! WOW! THey really are awesome this year...average retail value has been over $200-$225 on all the boxes I have seen! AMAZING.
I just put in a order for one...they are going really fast this year.
Inky Hugs and Happy Surprise Boxes!
