Citrus Lane: Baby and Toddler Care Boxes $12.50

I have mentioned Citrus Lane in the past and wanted to mention it again because I just got my box to show you!

This is a company that sends boxes of baby and toddler items each month.  You pay a monthly subscription fee and what you get in the box is a surprise.

These are tailored to little ones that are newborn to 5 years old and it is a fun way to try new products.   You enter the gender and age of your child and they have boxes that should be suitable for you.

They seem to have a little more of a focus on natural, green and organic products.

The last time I posted I heard mixed reviews.  Some people thought it wasn’t worth the price and some thought it was a lot of fun to get packages each month.

I actually took advantage of the sale to try the service myself and here is what I got in my box from last month- please note this is not exactly what you will get.  It is just to give you an idea of what a box might look like:

Here is the rough value of what I received:

• Goodbyn Lunchbox and stickers- projected price $9.00
• Melissa & Doug Create a Craft- projected price $7.00
• Cool It Buddy Ice Packs- projected price $4.50 (these are great for the car because they are instant ice packs, not the kind you need to freeze)
• Just Bananas snacks- projected price $2.00

And then there was a fairly decent size travel tube of bug spray and that postcard is 10 free postograms which is a photo sharing thing I haven’t looked at yet.

My little girl was thrilled with that Melissa and Doug thing- she has been begging for it when we go to Target so that worked out perfectly.

So I thought it was a fun little surprise to get in the mail and it comes in a nice sturdy box that I saved for mailing gifts.

So the regular monthly price is $25 but if you want to try it out, you can get 50% off your first box with coupon code: TAKEHALF.

That makes the price $12.50 and the shipping is free.

Please note that you are signing up for a monthly service to get a new box each month. However, you can cancel at any time by emailing[email protected]  or filling out the cancellation form on their website. Be sure to cancel before the 1st of the month (11:59pm Pacific on the last day of the previous month), before they begin their monthly billing cycle and start prepping your next box for shipment.
