Edited to Add: 10 Storks is no longer in business.
10 Storks is a brand new monthly subscription box for moms-to-be. 10 Storks offers 9 customized boxes for moms-to-be – one for each month of pregnancy and a 10th box (which is free with a 9-month subscription) for the baby! Boxes include essentials like pre-natal vitamins and baby books & luxuries like chocolate, tea, and body butter.
I should mention that I am not pregnant, but when 10 Storks asked me if I wanted to check out their subscription, of course I said yes! I received Months 1 and 2, but decided to begin with Box 1.
10 Storks boxes are cute silver boxes and are packaged like a gift. And since people might want to send this as a gift, I will mention that there is no packing slip or anything indicating a price in it.
The first (and second) look had me very excited! The packaging is great and could tell someone spent a great time of time packaging everything and making it perfect.
10 Storks has a combination letter / information card. The letter discusses the products included in the box, why they were selected and the stage of pregnancy. Here is what Month 1 included:
~Nature Made Prenatal Vitamin + DHA ($13.99): Prenatals are no joke and I have actually heard that over the counter and prescription prenatals are just about the same. I even like them when I am not pregnant!
~What to Expect: Eating Well ($11.48): I’ve read some books from the What to Expect series, but I did not know this even existed. It includes which an eating plan for pregnant women, as well as, which foods to avoid.
~Mom’s Organizer ($11.89): This planner has sections for kids activities, mom appointments, etc., as well as, a removable contacts book! I was JUST talking about planners and am still looking for tips on how I can make myself use them more. Thinking back, I can’t even remember how I used to track all my appointments with WB? I lived at my doctors office when I was pregnant!
~Burt’s Bees Lip Balm and Facial Towelettes ($4.99): I love Burt’s Bees and I love lip balm, so this perfect! My skin always breaks out like crazy those first few pregnancy months, so towelettes are great!
~Ghiradelli Chocolates ($3.95): Does anyone not like chocolate when they are pregnant? I know I did 😉
~Organic Dried Apricots ($3.37): I didn’t know this (probably because I have never read the book that was included in this box), but apricots naturally contain small amounts of iron and folic acid, which supports fetal development.
All totaled the Month 1 10 Storks box had a value of $49.67. Boxes are $40/month and, like I mentioned before, if you you a free 10th box if you purchase a 9-month subscription. I love the idea of a special box for pregnancy because, let’s face it, when you are sick daily, dead tired and feeling huge, a box of goodies in the mail is exactly what you need!

With all these pregnancy boxes I think its about time you try for another 🙂 And that planner is really cute!
I signed up for this yesterday starting with the 5th month. It looks like it will be a good box, I’m excited to get my first one!
We really appreciate your time and thoughts put into this review, Jennifer!
