My “real” November Citrus Lane box arrived today and I was super anxious to see what was inside. I posted my review(s) for the other two boxes I’d received over the weekend, but WB’s true box didn’t arrive until today.
Citrus Lane ships USPS via Narvar and took about 4-5 days to arrive? I had some add-ons this month (a harmonica for L and some holiday gifts), so everything shipped in a bigger box with my Citrus Lane box inside.
Ahhhh! I knew as soon as I opened the box that it was the one I had wanted. I had seen a few variations for the 18-20 month old boxes and I wasn’t sure exactly which ones WB would get. I have him aged at his actual age in their system (he was born in April 2012), so he’s 19 months, but I feel like CL might consider this 20 months? Not really sure.
This November, Citrus Lane included some items to help you through the holiday travel season. We’ve always got something going on (holiday or not) so any items to help make traveling easier are much appreciated. Here’s what was included in WB’s box:
~Stock Pot & Utensil Set from Green Toys (~$12): I love this! I have lots of Green Toys toys, but no kitchen stuff. WB was eating a snack and right away dropped it on the floor to try and scoop them up with this spatula. I should have waited until Christmas to give it to him, but it was just too cute to wait.
~Zoo Plate from Skip Hop ($6): We have a few Skip Hop sets, but we don’t have the dog! And dogs are WB’s favorite, so this is perfect.
~Reusable Snack Bags from Bumkins ($6.95): I have been meaning to buy some of these for L to take to school for his snack for ages. I feel like reusable bags like this contain the mess better than regular ziplock bags. I don’t like to just throw L’s snack in a plastic bag because I feel like it’s going to get a hole in it and end up all over his backpack. Kids are rough!
~Lip Comfort from Pur~lisse ($16): LOVE! I got one in one of my boxes from this weekend and I’m loving it. I’m not even putting this second tube into “storage”. It’s staying out. A new holy grail product right here.
~Cheddar Bunnies from Annie’s ($1): Who doesn’t love cheddar bunnies? I know I do! And so does L and so does WB.
All totaled I came up with a value of $41.95 for our November Citrus Lane box. This was, one of, if not my most favorite Citrus Lane box ever! I loved it and felt like everything was selected for us personally. And it was also well over the $25 cost of the box, which is great.
Did you get Citrus Lane this month? What age did you get and what came in your box? Citrus Lane has expanded their box offerings and you can now select a Basic Box ($12/month) which contains two items, the Classic Box ($25/month) which is what they have always offered and includes four to five items and the Deluxe Box ($49/month) which includes everything from the Classic Box and additional premium toys and goodies.
If you are interested in ordering or want to learn more, click here. And don’t forget you can use the code “TAKEHALF” to save 50% off your first box (from ANY of the categories). That’d make the Basic Box only $6 next month!
I love the products you got! Mine still hasn’t shipped yet.
Really?? I hope they just forgot to send your tracking and it’s really on it’s way!
I think I’ll get mine tomorrow, and it might be just the same as yours, since my son was also born April, 2012. I love all of it!
Ohh, I bet it will be. I hope so! Let me know!
I like your’s better! I get the 12 month old box but I didn’t know how they divided it. We got a skip hop plate too but would have rather had the snack bags and pot set than another bib and the tugboat! And loving the lip stuff too!
We have a lot of tugboats here too! And submarines too!
Awesome box! It’s so hard to wait until Christmas to give the little ones toys lol I keep failing miserably xD
I know. I was like but he NEEDS this NOW! Ha!
I got the 12 month box and was happy with it although we totally can’t use a bowl any time soon unless I want to see it on the ground lol (see review here: http://whattheschneck.blogspot.com/2013/11/citrus-lane-november-2013-review.html) but when I was writing my review and tried to mention the three new sizes, I couldn’t find them on their site. I only see three subscription offers (1 month @ $29/mon, 3@ $24/mon, or 6@$19/mon) and seem to all be for the same sized box. Did they already stop the 3 new sizes that you mentioned or maybe that’s just for new subscribers?
I think it depends on what browser you use?? When I am in Safari I see what you see, but when I am in Firefox I see the 3 options.
I basically got the same box as you but got the monkey plate, which we already have. I’ve heard you mention trading items you get in your sub boxes, where and how do you do that? I might want to trade the monkey plate for one we don’t have yet! Otherwise this box is awesome, Citrus Lane is one of my favorites!
I sent you an invite to the FB group I am in!
Could you send me an invite, too, please? I’d love to join!
Sent!
Could I get an invite too?
Sent!
Me too Please 🙂
Will do!
Any way I could get added please?
I just sent you an e-mail invite!
When do they ship? I want to receive at least the first box before Christmas.
Boxes are said to arrive between the 18th and 22nd. I do not believe mine have ever been after the 22nd. Sometimes I even get it before the 18th!
Just wanted to let you know that Citrus Lane is on Gilt City through next Wednesday. With the 4% back from ebates and the 20% off code “welcome20,” it comes down to around $12.50 a box when you do a year subscription. I was waiting to see what they were going to offer for Black Friday, but I doubt they can beat this deal!
Is Welcome20 just for new customers? Because that is a great deal!
Yeah, it’s just for new customers 🙁 Just saw someone else posted this in a different area and you sent something similar in your email today… a little late to the party… oops!
That is a really good deal though!!!!
Hi, I’m new to citrus lane, just got my first box, could anyone tell me what the letters are for, like a m with picture of a mustache and a n with a picture of a nut.
I’d love to know this as well. I believe it’s some sort of game thing that you collect the pieces for, but I’m not quite sure how it works??
The website has no information on it tho. 🙁
This is all I could find:

I received the same box except my son is 26 months…I wonder when they go up to the next age group on the boxes if at all? Does anyone get them for kids older than 2 yrs? If so what kid of goodies have they gotten I wonder!
Here’s a box for a 3.5 year old I got in November.

I tried your referral link and takehalf coupon and neither worked. Also couldn’t see the various box choices, and I tried several different browsers. Eh. I start convulsively shopping for things we don’t need right before the holidays, so maybe this is the universe telling me to slow down!
The TAKEHALF is expired. I never get a chance to go back and update. The referral changed a bit in the past few weeks too. Now it’s you get $10 deposited into your Citrus Lane account after your first box. So you’d pay full price for the first box and get $10 off the 2nd.
