Today’s mail consisted of a JewelMint order (a candle + free nail polish) and my January 2014 bluum box! I never know what to expect from bluum, so I couldn’t wait to open this one up.
bluum ships via FedEx Smart Post and took about five or so days to arrive to me. This month’s box was bigger than normal and wasn’t a “bluum” box and I believe that was the first time I ever got a box like this. Kind of made me even more excited!
I’m not sure why, but I wasn’t expecting to find much more than a few snacks or something under the packaging materials. Luckily I was wrong ;).
bluum never sent out an announcement about it (at least I never got it if they did), but they have done away with the monthly themes. They now send out boxes which include products are based on your child’s age, gender and developmental stage. I never found that their themes really fit with the products, so this works better. I do believe that products still change from month to month, so if you are expecting a 25 Month-Old (we have WB aged up) box next month it will likely be different. Here is what our January bluum box included:
~B Kids Bathtime Octopus Music Maker ($12.15): Oh goodness, WB will love this. Any bath tub toys that do not involve mold being able to creep inside are my friends as well.
~My Little Counting Book ($8.95): Cute book. WB is all into pointing at things in books and gets all excited when he sees something he loves. WB destroyed last month’s book which was a touch and feel, but this one doesn’t have any little parts or flaps he could pull off, so that’s good!
~Play-Doh Mini 4 Pack ($3.99): We love play-doh here and can never have enough. Once it gets mixed, it’s all over (for me). WB still tries to eat it, but once he realized it’s not amazing tasting, he plays with it.
~Boiron Oscillococcinum Homeopathic Medicine ($12.49): I have received this (from bluum I believe) in the past and I have never used it. I probably could have done with out this in my box and been fine.
~Nature’s Bakery Fig Bar ($1.25): Everyone in this house loves Nature’s Bakery fig bars. They are just delicious. They too have popped up in a subscription box (they have been in bluum before) or two over the years and we are always always happy to see them.
~Deep Steep Moisture Stick ($5.95): The icing on the cake in this box was certainly the deep steep stick! LOVE!! These smell great and are easily portable to apply on dry skin (I use them on my elbows) whenever you need it.
All totaled I came up with a value of $44.78 for the January 2014 bluum box. As always, it was beyond $24.95/month cost of the box and even without the medicine included (since I don’t know if I will use that), it’s a great value. Lots of great items for WB to play with which is perfect!
