Citrus Lane
Cost: $29/month
Ships To: United States and APO, FPO, and DPO addresses.
WB’s March 2014 Citrus Lane box arrived yesterday and since it’s the one I typically do a main review on (and that’s the box that gets linked on the Reviews page) I will continue with the trend! WB’s box is for a 23 month-old boy, which is his actual age (I cannot believe he will be two next month).
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 (that’s what I do).
Citrus Lane ships via FedEx Smart Post and while this box shipped at the same time as my other March Citrus Lane box, it arrived a day later.
I was totally confused when I opened this box up because I could have sworn I ordered some box add-ons with it. I even knew what they were (an Easter egg dying kit and an Easter book). But when I looked back in my account, I never ordered any add-ons. That must have just been an order I placed in my head. I like to answer e-mails in that manner sometimes as well!
The March 2014 Citrus Lane box does not have a theme, but includes something to help your baby learn and play along with a couple of everyday functional items. Here is what was included:
~You are My Baby Book from Chronicle Books ($8.99): We actually have the Safari version of this book, so I guess I have heard of Petit Collage before (the author of this book is the founder of Petit Collage). WB loves the Safari version of this so I was really excited to get the Farm version. This will be an Easter Basket or Birthday item!
~Qubes from Hape ($9.99): How cute are these? I have a slight block obsession so of course I love these. I know they have other animal sets in addition to the dinosaur ones and I am pretty sure I am going to need to buy / trade for those as well.
~Citrus Hydrating Body Lotion from Weleda ($16.50): I wasn’t totally sure if this was for me or for WB, but I am leaning towards me. Only because I don’t know that I have ever seen a citrus scented lotion for a baby. I will happily use this lotion and think it smells great.
~Medi Buddy from Me4Kidz ($5.25): I received this kit in my other March Citrus Lane box, but I don’t mind the spare. I’ll probably end up leaving this one up-north because boo-boos seem to happen often up there and since it’s not a full-time house, it’s not stocked like our house is with supplies.
All totaled I came up with a value of $40.73 for our March 2014 Citrus Lane box for a 23 month-old boy. Just like with my almost 4 year-old box, I am super pleased with it and think it’s great for his age. And I need more of those blocks ;).
Did you get a Citrus Lane this month? Or did you get two boxes every month like I do? LOL!! What age did you get and what came in your box?
