Here is just a quick review of what came in my August Citrus Lane box. I didn't do price break downs or pictures of each individual product. For a more in depth review you can go here. For now I'll just share what came in my box and what I thought about it!
The Box:
List of Products and What I Thought!
Cleo's Color Book from Barefoot Books
I love this book! I love, love, love getting books for Peter but usually that means they are from the 20 cent bin at Salvation Army. Don't get me wrong, that's super fun, but I just like getting a brand new shiny book. It even smells good. And the best part? Peter loves this book. I don't know if it is the bright colors or what, but he actually sits and listens when I read this book to him. Did I mention he is only six months old?
Little Stackers from Rich Frog
This toy is super cute. We got the lion but I kind of wish we got the frog that was pictured on the info card. I love frogs! Peter doesn't understand the re-stacking part of this yet, although he loves to pull the three pieces apart. He really likes to chew on the Velcro on the bottom piece.
Baby Bottle Strap from Ah Goo Baby
Genius! Peter has a strap that will attach a paci to his clothes but nothing like this! This is a strap with Velcro loops on both ends so that you can attach one end to a sippy cup, toy, etc. to the stroller, high chair, whatever! My mom said she thought she saw this on Shark Tank, although I didn't do any research to see if it was the same company. This thing is brilliant and would make a great little gift to any parent with small kids!
All Natural Hand Sanitizing Wipes from CleanWell
I love that these wipes are all natural and that they are safe to use on sensitive skin! I will definitely use these and I know they will be a handy thing to keep in the diaper bag or car. My only complaint is about the scent. The scent is supposed to be Orange Vanilla... um... ew. It smells more like Listerine. The old plain kind. Yuck!
Calendula Diaper Care for Diaper Rash (Sample Packets) from Weleda
These are a nice little bonus item. I haven't tried them yet but they will be nice to have in the diaper bag since I don't normally carry a full size diaper cream with me.
Free Trial Offer from FabKids
I'm not sure if I will use this. It's a code to get a free outfit worth $39.95. However, redeeming the code signs you up for their subscription service, which would cost that much every month. I could always cancel the subscription after I got my free outfit, but I still have to pay $5 in shipping to get the free outfit and the smallest size they have is 2T. I guess $5 is a great deal for an entire outfit, but the outfits they have are just kind of... "meh." I don't think I'll use it, so if you feel so inclined, email me and I can send you the code. First come, first served. :)
The Conclusion!
In conclusion, I love Citrus Lane! I had a code to get this box for half off, so I only paid $12.50. If I continue my subscription I will pay $25 for my next box. Would I pay $25 for this box? Definitely! I think the purpose of subscription boxes is to try new products that you normally wouldn't buy and might not even see at the store. Since I don't shop a whole lot except for the occasional impulse buy at the grocery store or Target and my bargain hunting trips to Salvation Army this type of thing is perfect for me! Plus I am absolutely in love with the idea of getting surprises in the mail!
If you would like to try Citrus Lane for a month click here and you will get $10 off your first box and I will also get $10 off my next box. Or, you can try the code that I used 'TAKEHALF' to save an extra $2.50.
So, what do you think? Worth it? Not worth it? Did you get a box this month? Let me know! If I get a box next month I will definitely post better pictures.
