bluum, is a monthly box of goodies for moms and babies.  Products are hand selected based on your child’s age (from pregnancy to preschool), gender and developmental stage.

bluum ships via FedEx Smart Post and generally takes about a week to arrive.  I generally plan on receiving it during the second half of the month.

I can’t remember when bluum got this tissue paper, but I think it’s a fairly new thing and it’s pretty cute.

The card included in the bluum box doesn’t include product information. Rather, that information is sent to you in a e-mail on the day that you receive your box (although I haven’t gotten anything on this one yet) and it appears in your account online as well (mine isn’t showing there yet either though).  WB’s March 2015 bluum box was for a 39 month-old (*) and included the following items:

~Baby Legs Socks ($5): Socks may not be exciting for a kid, but I LOVE when they come in subscription boxes.  Where do all the socks in our house go?  I have no idea, so I always need more.

~Eco Vessel Bottle (Blue with Fly) ($16.95): I will take all of the socks AND all of the water bottles too!  LOL.  I just posted about my love for water bottles for me in my Little Lace Box review, but I love them for the kids too.   This is 100% stainless steel and the straw looks to be super sturdy which is important since WB chews on them.  Time will tell, but I think it will last.

~eeBoo Floating Robot with Dog ($5.95): I thought (was hoping) that this was some sort of craft, but it’s a decoration. I have no idea what we will do with it, but I showed it to WB and he said it was cute.

~A Wolf’s Tale by Eva Montanari ($4.99): This is the wolf’s spin on the Three Little Pigs story.  I thought the story was cute, but the illustrations I didn’t lobe.  They seemed a little too old for the age group this book is for.

~Welda White Mallow Diaper Rash Cream ($15): A product information card would be idea right now because diaper rash cream?  In a pre-K box?  What?  I am not sure if I was supposed to get this product or another one in it’s place.  If my e-mail with product information doesn’t arrive in the next day or so I am going to shoot them over an e-mail about this.

~Coupons: This box also included coupons for Kidoodle!TV and HelloFresh. The HelloFresh one is for new customers so we won’t be able to use that, but I will look into the other one.

All totaled I came up with a value of $47.89 foe the March 2015 bluum box.  I need to find out what the story on that diaper rash cream is before I really know how I feel about this box.  I tend to believe it’s an error and should have been something else, but we’ll see! I will update this when I figure it out.

(*) It’s a long story, but we used to get bluum ages ago when they just did those smaller sample sized boxes for 0-12 month olds. When WB was about 9 months, bluum launched their current box for ages 1+ and was still doing the sample boxes for babies 0-12 months old. I wanted to check out the new, bigger boxes for WB, so I aged him up a few months so he was 1. And he’s still aged up!
