My April bluum box arrived nice and quickly this month and I am hoping this new trend means that their shipping woes are totally over.
bluum ships in the same sized box every month and it’s a way bigger box than the older bluum boxes. They ship via USPS and like with some of my other boxes this month, my tracking didn’t update until it was out for delivery.
The box seemed a tad light this month, but I was still excited to see what was inside. I think I mentioned it before, but I aged WB up a few months, so he gets the 15 month box instead of the 12 month-old box.
I mention it every time, but bluum doesn’t have a true information card. Instead, they have a card which describes that month’s theme (ours was “Cuddle Time”) and a little about your baby’s age and a general discussion about the items in the box. On the day your box is delivered, you get an e-mail with the box contents and a description of each item. Here’s what was in our Cuddle Time box:
~Sign and Sing Along: Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star ($4.49): I cannot wait to read / sing this to WB. He LOVES singing and following along to songs with hand movement. Patty cakes(*) is his favorite right now, but he’s game for most songs!
~Totlogic – Bubble Bath ($12.75): This will likely end up getting used by L more because WB doesn’t demand bubble baths like L does. However, unlike L when he was a baby, WB doesn’t mind bubbles. Maybe it’s because he sees L enjoying them?
~Angel Dear – Blankie ($13): WB does not have a cuddle buddy and instead just prefers the comfort of his thumb. But I suspect that one day he will need one and I am going to offer this to him. It’s adorable and so soft and snuggly!
~Babyganics-Apple Berry ($5.24): I knew this looked familiar and I went back and looked and yeah, I got this in my March bluum box too. I don’t mind having two because you can never have enough lip balm, but I would have preferred something I had never tried before.
~Baby Soy Usa – O Soy Sig. Socks (Grass) ($4): Do babies like to cuddle with socks on? Because yeah, WB doesn’t. No matter how cold his feet are, he will NOT keep them on. I will certainly use these, but with shoes!
~Happy Family – Happy Yogi ($4.21): WB loves these (they are actually quite yummy) so I was thrilled to see these in the box! There are some snacks that when WB sees them he goes CRAZY and this is one!
~Luna Bar – Chocolate Peanut Protein Bar ($2): I LOVE Luna bars so I was super excited to see this in the box! I can’t eat it just yet (soon though, soon), but I am ready for when I can!
All totaled I came up with a value of $45.69 for the April bluum “Cuddle Time” box. It’s not my favorite bluum box ever, but that’s how it goes, you love some and some are just okay and I get that!
Did you get an April bluum box? What’d you think? And what was your theme and what all came in your box? I’d love to hear! If you don’t subscribe and want to, or just want to learn more, click here.
I got this one a few months back. I would have to agree, not my favorite assortment of products. It seemed a little too young for a one year old. I got this one when my son was 16 months old. Its really young for that age! I already had the angel dear lovie from when he was a few months old. But, you’re right! Win some, lose some! I just keep the doubles as baby shower gifts 🙂
I learned it as patty cake(s) too, though I’ve totally forgotten the lyrics.
Ha! I hate wearing socks too (and shoes). I dunno, I just like my feet to be free.
The Happy Yogis looks delicious – I want!
got my first bluum box yesterday. Mine was the “Giggle monster” box, themed around laughing and teething. I don’t understand why I got TWO of the 7th Heaven mud masks. Not to mention the email says that it’s “for baby”, but I can’t imagine putting a mud masks on my 7mo… I also got: B Kids Teething links (look cool), Momma Penguin teether (fun), Baby Mum Apple (weird, cuz I’m not giving my 7mo mum mums yet. Am I supposed to be giving her these already??), a super cute book: Little Learners – Peek-A-Boo Friends, and for mom – Luna Bar – Chocolate Peanut Protein Bar (eating it today!).
On another note – my email and my online account show different items were sent. For instance, online it says I got the B Kids cups for the bath, doesn’t mention the baby mum, and doesn’t say that the mud masks are for baby. Weird… do you usually cross-reference yours and see a difference? Just curious…. Otherwise, it’s a great box! 🙂
I tried out Bluum this month and was completely disappointed. I also got this cuddle time box- the Luna bars are sold at our local grocery store for $1 and I didn’t get the book! I wonder why you got the book and I didn’t. After opening I immediately canceled.
BEWARE if you sign up for a trial! They will charge your credit credit card after the trial is up for the most expensive box. I was just charged $24.95! I had purchased a groupon type deal for a one-month box and had to pay $1 shipping on the Bluum site and then they went and charged my credit card for the next month even though I had NOT signed up. Just be careful! It isn’t worth the hassle – I’ve been emailing and calling with no luck.
