I’ve been anxiously awaiting the arrival of my September Citrus Lane box(es) and happily they came today! I get a box for WB’s actual age (17 months) and then another randomly aged. This month I decided to opt for a newborn box (NO I am NOT pregnant) to mix things up a little (usually I get one for a 3’ish year old). As always I will do a full review on WB’s box and just a quick breakdown of the second box.
My box doesn’t have a label this month because it came inside a much larger box due to the amount of add-ons I ordered.
I don’t know what got into me, but at 2am one night when the add-on link went live, I decided I needed eight million aiden + anais blankets, bibs and swaddles. I do have a lot of friends who are expecting and they will make great gifts, so it’s all good!
Not a very impressive first look huh? My box clearly took quite a ride! No matter though! I was just happy to get it. I wasn’t too thrilled that my box was missing an information card, but considering that they had to ship me a giant package which I bet cost a bunch because of all my add-ons, I’ll be okay. Here’s what my Citrus Lane box, which again was for a 17 month-old boy, included:
~Charlie Harper ABCs Book ($9.95): I *think* we already have this book, but I haven’t seen it in the playroom in a while, so maybe not? It’s so familiar though. It’s a great book and the illustrations are amazing. A classic for sure!
~Babytime Playful Wash by Episencial ($3.83): We love this wash an use it basically every day (well the boys do – I don’t), so I am happy for more. I don’t know if this exact wash has every come in a CL before, but the brand has and I always enjoy it.
~Julep Nail Polish (It Girl – Coco) ($14): I received this polish in my May Julep Box, but seriously, at this point there aren’t too many Julep polishes that CL could have sent me that I don’t already have so I expected to receive a duplicate! I do love this color and I am guessing whoever I pass this onto will too!
~Happy Tot Super Toddler Bar ($1.40): WB has had these before and enjoys them. L also enjoys them, so if WB doesn’t eat it first, L totally will!
~Hape Numbers and Colors Blocks ($9.99): LOVE these! I’m just going to tell you right now, these are going to be in my September “Best of the Boxes” post. I love blocks and these are so high quality and brightly colored and amazing. And I have been trading for the other type of blocks that came in CL this month, the Hape City Planner Blocks because I am so obsessed with them. If I can wait I will save all these sets for Christmas, but since WB is SO into blocks now I might not be able to wait! Have I mentioned that I love these? Because I do!
All totaled the September 2013 Citrus Lane Box (for a 17-month old boy) had a value of $39.17. I think this is probably one of my favorite CL boxes from the past few months. I love it all!!!
Our September Citrus Lane box for a Newborn (again, NO, I am not pregnant, but I have friends who are), included the following: Charlie Harper 123s from AMMO Books ($9.95) (love that I have the set), Chime Ball from Skip Hop ($10), Babytime Playful Wash by Episencial ($3.83), Julep Nail Polish (It Girl – Coco) ($14) (I guess two friends are getting Coco) and Diaper Rash Ointment from Dr. Smiths ($4.33). This box had a total of $42.11 and I thought it was an amazing newborn box as well! The chime ball and polish will get gifted, but we’ll totally use the rest!
