Doing the sniping mission in Mission Impossible 100 times just because what else was I going to do with my time.

Here's why: 1) Customer service and responsiveness is above and beyond. 2) The contents of the box are amazing. 3) We decided to say yes to whatever came in the box and see what happens. (All good things!) 4) No pressure, no questions, no judgment. We aren't choosing the items ourselves or for each other so there is no ego or unspoken statement behind the items. 5) It is something we REALLY look forward to. We spend the month wondering what the box will bring and it adds to the excitement. 6) Did I mention customer service? It truly is the absolute best.
