Wow! My October Goodies.co Kids Box arrived today and OMG I am amazed. I mentioned the Tech Crunch article about Goodies earlier in the week, but there’s been no official word from Goodies about closing down yet, so your guess is as good as mine. (ETA: See below) For right now I am going to enjoy the fabulousness of this October box!
Goodies Co. shipped this month using USPS. I never got a shipping notification and when I checked in my account online the other day, it showed that my box was scheduled to ship on 10/21. I’m guessing it was shipped much earlier than that and I have hopes that my regular Goodies.co Box is secretly on it’s way too.
The first look was awesome and confirmed to me that I was getting the same box as I’d seen in other people’s pictures and I was thrilled.
Goodies Co. Kids doesn’t have an information card (you can find product information in your account online), but they have a little note from their mascot – Wally Walrus and a project on the back. This one was instructions on making a potato stamp, which we will totally do.
Here is what we received in our October Goodies Kids Box:
~Sneaky Pete’s All Natural OAT Beverage – Mango: Goodies has sent some “interesting” drinks in the past, but this one is not only interesting, it’s delicious. L couldn’t wait to try it (I surprised him with the box when he got home from school today) and once it was chilled we both had some. Shockingly good. An oat drink. How would have thought?
~Orbit for Kids Strawberry Banana Sugar Free Gum: L carefully picked through this box and settled on gum as his after school snack. It’s a special treat around here and he was thrilled. This gum is sugar-free and L said it was great. And it comes with so many packs that he’ll going to be chewing gum for a while. He owes Goodies big time for this ;).
~Rockin’ola ChocoBerry: These are chocolate granola clusters with real freeze dried strawberry yogurt drops. I am saving them for L’s snack tomorrow at school. I’ve been giving him yogurt covered raisins and yogurt and this will be a nice surprise.
~Stone Ground Apple Cinnamon Fig Bar: Once B sees this, it’s all over. We all love these, but B loves them the most, so we’re going to let him have it. We usually get the raspberry ones, so this will be a good change.
~Lunchables Jr. Teddy Bear Picnic: Why have I never seen these at the store? They are adorable and I would totally get them for the boys! More for WB now since L doesn’t want to have a Teddy Bear picnic anymore. Next time I go shopping I’m going to keep an eye out for these.
~WarHeads Sour Twists: Yep, L loves these. I think most kids do don’t they? B even likes them. We are rationing these or it will would a complete sugar party over here with a totally crazy L.
~Happy Squeeze Fruit & Veggie Twist (Apple, Mango, Pear & Kale): As soon as L saw this he handed it off to WB. It’s a well known fact that WB LOVES pouches and is happy to suck one down any chance he gets. WB was super excited about this (he yells when he sees a pouch) and it disappeared quickly.
~Snack Factory Pretzel Crisps: I stole these from the box (with L’s approval of course). Pretzel crisps are the best. And dipped in hummus makes them even better. SO GOOD!
~WarHeads Sour Chewy Cubes: Another huge hit over here. I even had one and thought they were quite good. L snacked on some when he was doing his reading “homework” tonight. He thought he was pretty hot stuff eating this and working on the computer ;).
~GudFud Fruit Jelly Stuffed Marshmallows: We decided to wait and try these with B on a night when he’s home so we can each have one. They have chocolate stuff marshmallows too. Why have I never seen such things? Those would be awesome for mini s’mores!
Goodies Co. Kids Box of Goodies, just like the regular Goodies Co. Taster’s Box is only $7/month. If it’s true that they are closing, I am going to be quite sad because this box was bananas this month! L LOVED coming home from school to this box and thought it was an amazing treat.
Did you get a Goodies Kid’s Box this month? What’d you think? Is it something your kids (or heck, you) would be interested in? If you want to learn more or want to get signed up, click here. I don’t know what’s going to happen with Goodies Co. or Goodies Co. Kids, but for $7/month, I’m totally sticking around to find out!
ETA: Goodies sent out e-mails on 10.23.13 letting subscribers know that they are discontinuing the subscription service and that October would be the last month of Goodies.Co. They also mentioned that if you had enough points for a free box, they would be sending you a $10 WalMart eGift Card.
