My March Citrus Lane box(es) came a little later than normal this month, but it’s been kinda box crazy over here this week, so that’s fine by me! I peeked at a few spoilers, so I kinda of new what to expect, but not really.
The March Citrus Lane boxes were smaller than normal this in month. In fact, my mailman was able to two fit Citrus Lane boxes, a GLOSSYBOX and a Dottiebox in my mailbox today. That was one packed mailbox!
While the box looked a little empty, I was also excited because it appeared to include a bunch of stuff I 1) didn’t have and 2) wasn’t familiar with. The best part of these monthly subscription boxes is totally discovering new products!
Citrus Lane has done away with their themes and instead includes a selection of products that best fits your baby’s age. This month Citrus Lane included items to help out with all of “baby’s new activities” including sitting, crawling, teething and eating.
Here’s what our box (for an 11 month old boy aka WB) included:
~Jungle Art Cards from Wee Gallery ($12.95): These cards are designed to draw in your baby’s attention with the black and white colors, while at the same time helping to learn their animals. I know that WB and L are going to LOVE these. L loves to be the teacher and show WB letters and numbers and enjoys “reading” to him, so I know that they will enjoy these!!! I might actually have to pick some of their other sets with the Wee Gallery coupon code!
~Green Ring Teether from Begin Again ($11): WB is going to go wild for this. He’s teething like crazy (still no first tooth yet though) and wants to gnaw on everything he can find. This teether is actually two parts and includes the outer plastic (corn-based BPA- and phthalate-free) ring and an inner ring made of maple. You can separate the outer plastic ring wash in the dishwasher and you’ve still got a great toy!
~Easy-to-Go Feeding Set from Green Sprouts ($1.50): At first I was like who would ever need a disposable spoon and bib set and then I realized, umm, yeah, I do. I forget bibs more often than I remember them. Luckily WB isn’t too messy, but still! I am throwing this in my diaper bag NOW and will probably use it by the time the weekend is over!
~Two Packets of Food + Recipe Card from NuturMe ($2.50): I gotta tell you, these have me a little scared. And fascinated. You take the packets and mix them into your baby’s meals to boost the nutritional value and get more veggies into your little one. Umm, guess which baby is getting this in his mac n cheese tomorrow night? I can’t wait to see what he thinks. If he likes it, I am ordering more ASAP.
~Calendula Weather Protection Cream from Weleda ($12): Why didn’t I know this existed? It helps to soothe dry skin and also shields against redness and irritation from the elements and drooling. WB’s been drooling like crazy and I am going to start putting this on him every night so his skin doesn’t get all raw and icky.
All totaled, our March Citrus Lane box had a value of $39.95. Not as “valuable” as some of the other months we have received, but I can honestly say I have not heard of any of these products before and I really look forward to trying them all! The box also included a $20 gift card to justfab.com, but I am not including that in my total since you have to spend money to use the code.
I also signed up to get L a box since Citrus Lane now has boxes for kids up to age 5. Here’s what we got in his box this month:
~Constructibles Building Set from MudPuppy ($13.99)
~Jungle Animals Make-a_Mask from Mudpuppy ($11.99)
~Jumbo Beeswax Crayons from Faber-Castle ($4.99)
~Just Bananas from Just Tomatoes ($1.25)
All totaled, L’s box has a value of $32.22 (it also included the Justfab.com coupon), and I am totally saving this stuff for a rainy day for us to do!

I also got this box this month. I signed up for justfab.com so I could look to see what they have, and for the first 24 hours after you sign up, you get half off you first item making them 20 dollars. I haven’t entered in the code from Citrus Lane, but if it works with the other deal justfab is offering, then it would make the item free. Just thought I’d let you know.
It didn’t work. Read the small print, and you do have to have a regular price item of 39.95 before you can use the 20 off. Bummer.
We got the tattoos instead of the cards…but I like the cards so much I’m thinking of buying one or two sets with the coupon code…and putting them in frames:) I think they will make awesome wall art!
We have the cards (the woodland animal set) and they are really cute. Thinking of displaying them somehow, now that baby girl is almost 15 months and we don’t “play” with them.
My 2 year old’s box was totally different. She got a cloud b ladybug scented pillow pet thing (I don’t care for lavender, but she seems to like the pillow!), tattoos with the animals in your art cards, a 12 piece puzzle (she had a little trouble with it, but she’ll grow into it), and a Peter Rabbit Organics fruit pouch. My daughter seemed to really enjoy unpacking everything, so I’m really happy with this month’s box!
@Mel: And I forgot to add, those food packets look really interesting. I’d totally try those for my daughter. Definitely let us know how they go!
We got a box for a 14 month old girl. It included: a ladybug soothing pillow, fairy color wheel puzzle, nutrume 2 packet set, tattoos.
I felt underwhelmed :-/ the puzzle looks great, it will be fun. But the pillow is kinda odd, it’s lavender scented, and the tattoos are ehhh…neither love nor hate. The baby food packets are fine, but annalise doesn’t eat processed food anymore, so we’ll have to try it mixing it in…
This was my favorite Citrus Lane box to date. We got the Cloud B lavender lamb pillow and a puzzle that was actually rated age 2+ and my box was for a 15 month old. Haven’t tried the food yet, but it certainly looks interesting. I was super bummed to miss out on the Skip Hop backpack, but the pillow was pretty cool. I’m still waiting on Bluum, which apparently shipped on 14 March. Hmm…
Wow – my baby Kate Eileen would love all of these items. I wish they shipped to Ireland!
I’ve been interested in trying the food packets. You can even mix them in with formula for little ones just starting to eat solids. I’d love to hear what you think about them once you try them out! I feel like they will be awesome for food on the go 🙂
I haven’t gotten my box yet and my tracking said it would arrive between the 17th and 22 and even if it comes tomorrow i won’t be able to get it untill Monday :/ i really really hope we get the art cards not the tattoos my box is for an 11m boy so in theory it should be the same one you got. I’m starting to get anxious this is my first month hurry up box!
Wish I had known about this when my boys were younger. Looks like a fun box!
My daughter is 18 months and we loved her citrus lane box. The tattoos were a big hit. She and her daddy had lion tattoos on like they are some kind of safari gang. She was pointing at it and roaring for days. She likes the puzzle and that she can carry it around by the string of the box. She thinks the ladybug pillow stinks, but she likes it.
I got the NurturMe food packets as a sample in something I purchased a little while ago, and my 13 month old tried about 2 or 3 bites, then refused to eat any more. It wasn’t a hit in our house, but worth a try I guess.
Just signed up for this box. Super excited about the potential!! Thanks again for posting reviews about all these subscription boxes!
I just got April’s box. It’s awesome!!!!!!!
