Not only did the mail come early today, but I received all three (yes, three) of my January 2014 Citrus Lane boxes! Woot woot!
If you aren’t familiar, Citrus Lane is a monthly subscription box for babies from 0 to 5 which contains four or more products selected especially for the age and stage of your child. Citrus Lane recently raised their prices from $25/month to $29/month, but if you sign up for a longer subscription, you can get boxes for as little as $19/month.
Citrus Lane now ships via FedEx Smart Post. I believe it took about a week to arrive to me in MI from them in CA. About normal for Smart Post.
I had an add-on this month, so it was on the top of my box. I didn’t love their add-on options this month, but you can never go wrong with a holiday book.
The January 2014 Citrus Lane Box, which was for WB who is 21-months old, included items to remind you that Spring is around the corner, along with a couple of products to help with daily mishaps. Here is what was inside:
~Shape Sorter from Plan Toys ($10): Ohh, I have never seen this before and I think it’s awesome. It’s a great little car toy and I LOVE that all the pieces are attached so that we will never be able to lose them.
~Lunchie from Skip Hop ($14): I actually already have a Monkey Skip Hop lunchie (a few different ones actually) from Citrus Lane, but that was in a box a while back which was for an older child. So it was a repeat, but not really. I am sure I can easily sell / trade this, so it’s not a problem.
~Adhesive Bandages from Ouchies Jr. ($5): As Spring approaches, do does our bandage usage. We can always always use more and even B and I use character bandaid when we need one. They are just more fun.
~Travel Wipes from Dapple ($3.49): Totally love these. We go through wipes like crazy around here and more are always welcome. These can be used to wipe down shopping carts, tables, highchair trays, etc.
All totaled I came up with a value of $32.49 for the January 2014 Citrus Lane Box for a 21 Month-Old Boy. I have a longer subscription, so I only paid around $20 (?), so I think it’s totally worth it!
And with all the amazing sales that Citrus Lane has been having, I again picked up two more boxes for different ages. I use these as things for L (mainly the books and art stuff), gifts for friends, items to put away for WB, etc.
Here is what we received in the box for a 3.5 Year-Old Boy: Fruit Set from Plan Toys ($10), Zig Zag Zebra Coloring Book from Barefoot Books ($3.50), Duo Tip Washable Markers from Faber-Castel ($4.99) and Upset Tummy & Nausea Relief from Mommy’s Bliss ($9.99), for a total value of $28.38.
And here is what we received in our box for a 6 month-old boy (I need from friends to have girls!): Baby Car from Plan Toys($15), Ball from Little Taggies ($7.99), Cleo in the Snow from Barefoot Books ($6.99) and Travel Dish Soap from Dapple ($2.29) for a total of $32.57.
