Ellen DeGeneres was seen promoting her new ‘Be Kind.
’ gift box just months after she and her senior staff got slapped with toxic workplace allegations.
Introducing her fall gift set that comes at the price of $54.99, Ellen insisted the box was “all about spreading kindness.”
“This box is all about spreading kindness,” the TV host said during her talk show. “And it highlights brands that do the same. It has a lot of amazing items…”
The fall gift box includes six items including a gold ‘HOPE’ necklace, wireless earbuds, a collapsible travel cup, baggage claim eye masks by Wander, a hygienic keychain, and an exclusive watercolor kit.

While supporters of this fall’s gift box defended the products they received, critics took over social media with plenty of issues related to their orders.
“Never got my summer box, can’t get anyone to respond to my emails? I don’t even have an account anymore for some reason, but I still have my invoice,” an Instagram user known as @k_kae22 wrote.
“Can someone please contact me. I have sent seven emails and heard nothing back. I was double-billed for my premium box. Please contact me,” @annsterw complained.
Some alleged subscribers also claimed they haven’t received their orders for months.
“I am still waiting for my box… it’s been months,” one person wrote. “Wish I got my box @theellenshop! I’ve emailed customer service twice and have yet to hear back. This subscription have been nothing but headaches! I’m not feeling the kindness you are promoting,” another one said.
