My June Citrus Lane box(es) FINALLY arrived today (CL is one of the boxes I stalk during the shipping process) and I couldn’t have been more excited. I’d seem some spoilers and read some reviews, but I like to wait until I get my box until I decide what I really think.
I purchased a bunch of this month’s add-ons (products from Episencial), so my June Citrus Lane came in a huge plain brown box with two normal sized Citrus Lane boxes in them. One had the Episencial products while the other was the normal monthly box.
The June Citrus Lane box seemed kind of empty, but since they pretty much use the same size boxes every month, this doesn’t mean anything. I should mention that Citrus Lane ships via USPS, but not Priority Mail, so it takes a awhile to arrive. I want to say it took 5 days to arrive from NV.
The June Citrus Lane theme was “Fun in the Sun” (I thought they had done away with themes but I guess not) and included essentials for the beach, pool or park! Here’s what we received:
14 Month-Old Box:
~Sun Protection Hat from iPlay ($14): I love the print of this hat (totally love it), but I’m not totally sure I am going to be able to talk WB into actually keeping it on (without feeding him while he’s wearing it to distract him). I probably wouldn’t buy a hat with flaps for him, but I gotta say, he look adorable.
~Sand Sieve form Haba ($4.55): Sand toys are always a big hit and I think we’ve destroyed most of the ones we got last year, so this will be nice. WB is still more interested in shoveling sand in his mouth than playing nicely in it, but that will change. Plus, L will totally use this. He still loves playing in the sand.
~Happy Tot Plus from Happy Family ($1.99): WB loves pouches and we get Happy Tot ones quite often (I’m still working on making my own pouches – one day), so I never mind getting pouches. He sucked this down in about two seconds when I was trying to get him to pose with the hat on, so I’d say he enjoyed it.
~Sunny Sunscreen SPF35 from Episencial ($8.33): You can never ever have enough sunscreen and everything we’ve tried from Episencial we’ve loved (and like I said, I kind bought a zillion add-ons to try more of their stuff), but I do wish this were a bigger size. I could use this amount up in a day! Maybe two.
All totaled my June Citrus Lane box (for a 14 Month-Old boy) totaled $28.87, which is just slightly over the $25/month cost of the box. I also received a 38 month-old box (I get a second one just for fun), so I’ll do a quick recap on that one too.
June Citrus Lane 38 Month-Old Box:
~Sun Protection Hat from iPlay ($14): This one is a bucket hat with a tie and is super big (it’s for 2-4 year olds), so it’ll be a while before it fits. I love the print on this one too.
~Sand Drill from Haba ($4.99): Umm, L loves this. He’s totally claimed it and relocated it to our sandbox.
~Dot to Dot Chalks from Alex Toys ($2.95): We have the Target version of these and they are a big hit. You can’t go wrong with sidewalk chalk and I love that is has a holder. L doesn’t care, but I hate the feeling of chalk on my fingers.
~Sunny Sunscreen SPF35 from Episencial ($8.33): Now I have enough for a few days ;).
All totaled my June Citrus Lane box for a 38 Month-Old boy totaled $30.27. Again, not a super “valuable” box, but I did enjoy it. Plus, if I can get WB to keep that hat on? OMG, I won’t be able to put a price on all the cuteness that will bring ;). And just for fun, here’s a picture of all the add-ons I got this month. They weren’t really a “deal”, but I figured why not?
Did you get Citrus Lane this month? What’d you think? And what hat design did you get?? I’ve seen so many cute ones! If you are interested in signing up or want more information on Citrus Lane, click here.
