The (little) boys and I had a busy day today, but happily took a break from the crazy to open up the December Stork Stack that arrived today!
Stork Stack ships via USPS (through some other handling service), but USPS delivers it. It was the only subscription box (and the only good mail) I received today, so I was quite pleased to see it.
Stork Stack now sends their information cards in the shipping e-mails and you can opt to click to get the information card and get spoiler prior to the arrival of your box or you can just read the e-mail and get your tracking number and resist the temptation to click. You know I peeked.
The December Stork Stack theme was “Toy Chest Stack” and included goodies to spoil the little ones with extra playthings and make it a fun-filled stack! Here is what our box, which I get for WB who is 20-months old, included:
~Melissa and Doug Giraffe Grasping Toy ($9.99): I was expecting this toy to be much small than it is! I am quite pleased it is nice and big and think it will make a great car toy. I have a cloth bin full of toys in there for WB (we are in and out of the car ALOT) and like to throw some fresh things in there every once in a while. Now, he would never just sit on the living room floor and play with this, but in the car, yeah, that works.
~Cloud B Lovie (Turtle) ($9.95): I feel like this is a little young for WB. Then again, he doesn’t have a lovie yet (not unless you count wooden trains), so maybe he’ll take to this? I would have preferred something else though that he could play with.
~Edushape Sensory Ball ($4): We have a few of these (maybe even from prior Stork Stacks?) and they are big hits here. L likes them and so does WB. I
~Honest Kids Juice ($1): You do get thirsty when you play hard so I thought this was a cute addition. We buy these and like them so this was a great item. I will probably use this for one of L’s lunches because WB would squeeze this and make a giant mess if I turned my eye for one second ;).
~Pretzel Crisps (Mom Treat) ($1): I love pretzel crisps and always appreciate their appearance in boxes. With hummus they are even better. WB actually has a thing for them too (with or without hummus), so these are awesome.
All totaled I came up with a value of $25.94 for the December Stork Stack. Totally not my favorite Stork Stack ever. I am hoping that next month is a better one for sure. I do feel like it kind of goes in cycles. One month you’ll get an AMAZING box and the next month it’s just meh.
