Yay! WB’s November 2014 Citrus Lane box is here! I actually have two Citrus Lane subscriptions – one for WB who is 2.5 years old and another box which is randomly aged at 4.5 years (it’s L’s age minus two years). They had such a good offer a while back that I jumped on the chance to grab another subscription. This review is for WB’s box.
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 they always have great coupon codes that let you try them out very inexpensively! And if you order an annual subscription the price drops down to $19/month (and is even less when they do a coupon code on top of that which they may do on Black Friday??). I always opt for the longer subscription with them because it’s a way better deal.
Citrus Lane ships via FedEx Smart Post and took about a week to arrive to me. My other box has yet to make it to me, but I believe that one shipped a day or two later than this one did.
Based on the spoilers for this month, I knew some of the items that I may receive, but I didn’t pay too much attention to which age group was getting which box. I liked what I saw in this first look a lot though!
The November 2014 Citrus Lane box included some Citrus Lane favorites to encourage creative play and development. Here is what was inside:
~Veggie Play Set from Plan Toys (~$12): This set was made just for Citrus Lane, so I had to guess at the price on it. I LOVE Plan Toys and I really love their fruit and veggie play sets. I have a few already, but there are some veggies in here that we don’t have yet. They are always a bit hit and WB likes cutting them and putting them back together.
~12 and 24 Piece Puzzle Set from Barefoot Books ($14.99): This was also sent in a past Citrus Lane box. I looked it up and it was in the 40 month-old box in August 2013. L can do it no problem, but WB needs a little help still. I will end up trading this or gifting it since we do already have it.
~Brilliant Beeswax Crayons in Storage Case from Faber-Castell ($5.49): These are great for both L and for WB! There’s just something about a fresh new set of crayons.
~Babyganics Cold Relief Chest Rub ($8.49): This was the “Mystery Item” this month. I believe there were three choices to pick from, with this being one of them. I think the other ones for this age group were a snack mix and bandaids. I opted for the Surprise Me! option because I didn’t have a preference. However, I am actually happy I got this one since it’s a new product for me. I really hope we don’t have to use it (because I don’t want anyone to be sick), but at least I will have it if we need it.
All totaled I came up with a value of $40.97 for the November 2014 Citrus Lane Box! I was quite happy with my box this month and even though I will be gifting or trading the puzzle, I still think it was totally worth it! I am now excited to see what comes in my other box in a few days!
