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.  I have gotten bluum for years and while the boxes have had their ups and downs I have generally been pretty pleased with the boxes I have received from them.

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.

You really never know what you are going to get with bluum and I love opening the box for that reason!  This box looked really good.

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 May 2015 bluum box was for a 42 month-old (*) and included the following items:

~Grow It Book ($5.39): bluum has sent us quite a few of the books from the “Helping Hands” series and we love them.  Any book for us is a good one.

~mudpuppy Finger Puppets (Robots) ($6.55): Both boys got a kick out of these.  They are little finger puppets and also just cute little robot guys.

~Melissa & Doug Sunny Patch Happy Giddy Flip-Up Sunglasses ($4.94): WB saw these and could not get them out of the packaging fast enough.  He’s obsessed.  And the fact that they flip-up? OMG.  That only makes them better!

~Crocodile Creek Eco Kids Monkey Insulated Food Jar ($17.95): WB wanted to have milk in this with his dinner tonight.  LOL!  We have a similar jar like this I have used for L’s lunch, but now WB has one too!  It will work really well for keeping fruit cool this summer.

All totaled I came up with a value of $34.83 for the May 2015 bluum box.  I really liked this box and thought they did a great job with our item selections this month.

(*) 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!
