I'm a huge fan of subscription boxes. I don't know why they draw me in except for the fact that I love getting mail and I love the element of surprise. With subscription boxes you aren't guaranteed certain products - just some samples. Pre-pregnancy I was constantly going back and forth between Birchbox and ipsy, two amazing make up subscription boxes (if you're interested!) but after I got pregnant, I didn't really see my financial focus being on makeup. Cue Citrus Lane - a baby box!
Citrus Lane popped up on my Facebook feed as a sponsored post and generally I ignore them but mid-cluster feeding I decided to click it and see what it was about. When it comes to my baby, like most mommies, I want the best stuff for my kid. So I figured I'd go with the one month subscription as a trial to see what to expect. Plus I had a nice little 50% off coupon that I received via email.
First, you put in your child's name, age and gender. That helps Citrus Lane determine what kind of goodies to put in. My box came about a week after purchasing it and when I opened it, I was pretty surprised! Unlike my makeup boxes, these are actual products. It makes sense since the cost per month is a bit more than a make up box!
A Look Inside:
 |
| Whoa, baby! What are these things!?! |
 |
| 20% Off Coupon to use in the Citrus Lane Box, Vine Market offer (25% Off), & a card from Citrus Lane about what all the products are. |
 |
| A snack for mama! Back to Nature Crispy Cheddar Crackers are the healthy version of Cheeze-Its (which I love). Back to Nature products don't have any artificial preservatives, hydrogenated oils, high fructose corn syrup, flavors or colors. Um! Where do I buy these? I gobbled these down the second I took a picture and they taste exactly like the "bad version" - so good. Apparently they have honey graham crackers, too. Nom! |
 |
| Fresh feet wipes from Jasmine Seven. I'm not 100% sure if these are supposed to be for mama or baby but they are for sweaty summer tootsies. If you ask this non-sock wearing mommy, I'm pretty sure my feet will be enjoying these, too. And they smell like peppermint?! Maddy's daddy will be grateful for me using these! |
 |
| Klick Klack by Haba is a wooden alternative to a rattle. It moves really easily so whenever Maddy grabs at it's well, click and clacking. It's definitely a stimulant for her and with her starting to explore more, I can't complain! |
 |
| A starfish puppet with a baby -- okay, that's not what it's really called. It's a Ocean Pals Puppet by Skip Hop. This is ridiculously cute & I love getting her attention with it. |
I'm still trying to get the hang of juggling um EVERYTHING when I go out in public. I swear I must have "first time mom" plastered across my forehead. I haven't tried this yet but I'm pretty sure just having it will make me look less clumsy.
All that said if you're a mommy looking for some new products or you want to surprise a mommy friend, check out Citrus Lane! Feel free to share your thoughts on these products or on other subscription boxes for mommies and babies :)
