One of my two March 2014 Citrus Lane boxes arrived today and while it’s not WB’s box (his would be for a 23 month-old boy), I was so excited about it I wanted to review it anyway. This box is for a 46 month-old boy (I have the account set to L’s birthday plus two years).
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 takes, you guessed it, a week to arrive. My mail lady used to think that Citrus Lane boxes were full of oranges and almost didn’t leave the box a few times last summer because she thought it would spoil in the sun ;).
I basically knew what to expect from Citrus Lane this month, but I hadn’t seen a spoiler for this exact age yet this month. I was super excited from the first look because this was the box I had wanted!
Our March 2014 Citrus Lane box included products from two new brands – Petit Collage and Hello Hanna. They don’t do themes anymore and just do a fun box of products that fits the age group your child is in. Here are all the details for this month’s box:
~Memory Game from Petit Collage ($16): Not just a Memory Game, but a train memory game! L and I can play this now and WB will be able to play it in a year or two. I like that there are only twelve pairs in this because traditional memory games have SO many cards that it gets a bit overwhelming for little ones. And the cards are nice and big for little hands.
~Bamboo Vehicles from Hape Toys ($4.95): These actually came in CL boxes last year (it’s not a duplicate if you have been consistent with your childs age, but I jump around for my other CL account) at some point and I loved them. I think I ended up trading for additional ones as well. I haven’t given this to WB yet and I don’t think we have this one, so this is awesome.
~Medi Buddy from Me4Kidz ($5.25): I totally love these little kits and don’t believe we have ever received the First Aid one. This will go in my bag and we’ll be needing it once summer hits and we’re out at the park and all that fun stuff. I only wish that the picture was on the actual container and not just the wrap. It’s so cute I always hate to unwrap them.
~Monkey Hello Book from Hello Hanna ($9.95): Ohhh, I have never heard of this brand before, but this is so perfect for L. I am going to have him create an entire story using the stickers and he’ll write the words to go along with it. It will be awesome practice for him and fun at the same time.
All totaled I came up with a value of $36.15 for the March 2014 Citrus Lane Box and just like last month, I loved this month’s box! Lots of great brands, high quality products and everything is totally usable. I am a happy girl!
