I did a review on WB’s June 2014 Citrus Lane box yesterday (his is for a 2 year-old boy) and today I am back with a review on the other Citrus Lane box we get every month which is for a 4 year-old boy. Some of the stuff works for L and some of it I just save for when WB gets a little older.
If you aren’t familiar, Citrus Lane is a monthly subscription box for babies from 0 to 5 years old which contains four or more products selected especially for the age and stage of your child. Citrus Lane is $29/month, but I always always opt for the longer subscription with them because it’s a way better deal.
Citrus Lane ships via FedEx Smart Post and always takes the standard week to arrive.
I actually hadn’t peeked at too many spoilers for this age group so I wasn’t overly sure what would be included. I had a general idea, but I wasn’t for sure.
The June 2014 Citrus Lane box included the following items:
~Wet Bag from Bumkins ($10.95): Just like the Mickey Mouse wet bag we got in WB’s box, we will be taking this one to Disney with us. They work for wet clothes, towels – pretty much everything!
~Two Sided Puzzles from Crocodile Creek ($8.97): I am going to save this for a future Quiet Time box for when WB is a bit bigger. These puzzles are challenging because they are two sided! I actually should see what L thinks of them. He likes puzzles.
~Puffy Sticker Pad from Melissa & Doug ($4.99): Love this. I am actually going to try and trade for another one of these so both boys have one. I know that if I give this to L, WB will freak out and want it and if I give it to WB, L will be annoyed he doesn’t have one. It’s best to just get another.
~Citrus Hydrating Body Lotion from Weleda ($16.50): I have gotten this lotion in the past (maybe in a CL box for a different age group) and am always happy with it. I can’t even tell you the last time I had to buy lotion on my own.
~Go Bar from Plum Organics ($2): I have tried these and they are actually quite good! The boys have had them in the past as well. I will be picking more up at Target the next time I go.
All totaled I came up with a value of $43.11 for the June 2014 Citrus Lane box for a 4 year-old boy. I only pay about $17/month for my Citrus Lane boxes (I always subscribe when they have a code) and thought this was a great value!
Did you get a Citrus Lane this month? What age did you get and what came in your box? If you are interested in subscribing, click here. Now through 6/30, you can use the coupon code “TAKE20OFF” to save $20 off your first box! That would make your first Citrus Lane box $9 which is incredible!!! You will be enrolled in a monthly subscription (which you can always cancel if you are not happy), but it’s totally an amazing way to try them out! If you have your eye on a longer subscription or if you are a current subscriber and want to renew, check out the deal going on right now on Gilt City (you can read about it here). The 12-month option was sold out yesterday, but it’s back in stock now and is a great deal!
Have you seen a box for a five year old? The pirate stickers look like fun for little boys. I know my 5 year old would enjoy playing with them.
I don’t think I have??
I got my girl’s box yesterday (40 months) and it is pretty similar, the difference is in the body lotion, instead I got a box of ouchies (bandages) for girls, and the stickers are princess theme, we are very happy with the content. I ordered the bug repellent too, I hope it works because mosquitoes are on season :s and we will be visiting some parks in july so it will be a must 🙂
I notcied you said you would try to trade, to get WB a book too. Just wondering, how do you trade it? Is it through Citrus Lane?
You can trade on My Subscription Addiction and there are a bunch of Facebook sites too!
I tried to sign up for my subscription addiction and it says it’s invite only. Would you be able to invite me in? I have some samples I would love to swap out. Birchbox keeps sending me eyeliner, ugh! 🙂
You have to wait for an invite from the site. It doesn’t take too long I don’t think???
I’m interested in doing a yearly subscription but I was wondering if they charge you all at once or if they charge once per month?
They will charge you all at once. That’s why they offer it with such a discount.
