Citrus Lane March 2014

This is Eli's last Citrus Lane, but Jack will keep getting it.  :)  And I am thinking that Eli will get re-subscribed in the end too, lol.

Citrus Lane is a monthly subscription box for kids age 0-5.  We have loved it for a long time!  :)  Some months are great, some aren't but that is the way it goes with sub boxes!  :)  The cost is $29.00 for month to month with a discount if you sub for multiple months.

Let's get on to the boxes!

Here is Eli's box:  (4 year old boy)

 
Woo hoo!!

 

 

Petit Collage Memory Game ($15.00)  Eli loves memory!  And He really loved this game!  :)

 

 

 

Me4Kids Medi Buddy ($5.99) We have gotten one of these already in a CL box.  :/  But it is something that you can use another of!  :)

Hello Hanna Monkey Hello Book ($9.95)  This looks like fun!  Eli will enjoy making the story up!  :)

Hape Toys Bamboo Vehicle ($6.52)  Eli has gotten 2 of these in past boxes too, but this is a new design.  :)


Jack's Box:  (1 year old boy)

Yeah!  First, I liked how this box was "themed".  It had 2 safari items and 2 wellness items!  :)



Me4Kids Medi Buddy ($5.99)  We got this same thing in Eli's box. 

 

CleanWell All-Natural Hand Sanitizing Wipes ($3.89)  We have gotten this in a previous CL box too, SIGH!  But again, this is a good item to have multiple of.

Citrus Lane Feb 2014

Well, this was Eli's last Citrus Lane and of course it was a good month!  lol.  ;)  Jack will continue getting CL so you won't miss reviews!  :)

Citrus Lane is $29.00 a month, less if you buy a multiple month subscription.  They will send 4-5 items a month curated for you based on your gender/age profile. 

This is the 16 month old box for February

It was a HIT with Jack!  :)

Boon Dive Bath Appliques ($7.98)  I am amazed at how Jack and Eli both love these!  :)  Cool colors and designs!

We enjoyed both boxes this month!  :)  I thought they were original and no repeat items!  :)

Citrus Lane January 2014 (15 months old and 4 years old)

So!  This is the second month that both boys got Citrus Lane...  And it looks like Eli won't be getting it much longer!  lol.  I am jumping off the CL bandwagon for him, but have jumped on it for Jack for a year!  :) 

Citrus Lane is $29.00 a month and has boxes for ages newborn-5.  If you buy a multi-month sub, then you get a little bit of a discount.  :)  Use my link and get $10.00 off your first box!  :)

Let's get to the good stuff!

This is the 15 month old's box...

There was also a 20% off coupon for a clothing company...  I don't use these coupons so I didn't even pay attention to the name!  lol.

Hop Skip Monkey Lunchie ($14.00)  This was disappointing because Eli got the same one in his September box.

Dapple Toy & Surface wipes ($7.50)  These are always great to have around!  :)

Ouchies Mr. Men and Little Miss 4 Boys ($3.25)  I don't know about anyone else, but I will not be putting these on my 15
                                                                                month old...  He would eat them!  lol

Plan Toys First Shape Sorter ($14.99)  Now THIS is AWESOME!  All of our shape sorters are missing shapes...  And this
                                                              one won't!  I love that!  And Jack likes this too!


And my 4 year old box....

This included the coupon too....

Mommy's Bliss upset tummy and nausea relief ($8.99)  I like Mommy's Bliss, will try these at some point.

Plan Toy's Cutting Fruit ($11.99)  Disappointing...  Only because Eli received this over the summer.  :/

I am happy that the boys both liked their boxes...  But I am disappointed that there are so many repeats. 

Citrus Lane November 2013

We have subscribed to Citrus Lane for Eli for over 1.5 years now!  :)  This is a unboxing of the boy box for a 4 year old.  (Yikes, when did Eli grow up?!?!)  Citrus Lane is awesome for kids!  We have enjoyed almost every box that we have gotten.  :)  We actually just signed up for a subscription for Jack!  :)  CL is $25.00 a month for the standard box.  And they just added a box for $12.50 (2-3 items) and a deluxe box for $49.00 (a standard box PLUS extra items).  Use this link to get $10.00 off your first box!  :)

All the goodies! 

I am going to start with the most disappointing thing in the box...  This is a code for tinyprints that states " 4 free address label pages when you spend $99.00"  Really?  Not going to happen!  :/

Faber Castell Doodling Pad ($2.99)  Eli is really getting into writing and this will go to use!
Faber Castell Jumbo Beeswax Crayons ($9.57)  We have gotten these in CL before but they are great!

Bumkins Lunch Bag ($12.95)  Fun, cute and perfect for snacks on the go!  :)

Good value and items that Eli likes and will use!  Another win for CL!  :)

Citrus Lane August 2013

This is the unboxing and review of Citrus Lane August 2013!  Eli is 3 going on 4.  :)  He LOVES this box!  :)  He waits for it every month!  The best part is if you sign up for longer subscriptions, the price goes down!  :)  Citrus Lane is $25.00 a month if you go month to month and the price goes down if you subscribe for 3, 6, 12 months from there.  :)

We have been CL customers for over a year now and have had very few things that we have been disappointed in!  It really is a great box!  Now on to the fun stuff!  :)

They always include a little card that talks about each item in the box!

I loved this box!  Infact, it was possibly the best box we have recieved lately!  :)  Woo hoo!

Citrus Lane July 2013

 

 

Eli's favorite time of the month has come!  He anxiously awaits his Citrus Lane box for days after I say it's been shipped!  :)  And he knows that yellow stripe!  lol.

 

Citrus Lane is my favorite kids box so far.  It's changed a little over the last few months (they are now for newborn to 5 years old, and they don't have themes each month) but it is still a great box!  We have subscribed for over a year now and have only had 3 boxes that just weren't up our ally!  So over all it's been great!  :) 

 

Citrus lane is $25 a month, or less if you sub for 3, 6 or 12 months.  :)  Also, if you use my link you will get $10 off your first box!  :)

 

 

The first look is always yellow paper and a cute sticker!  Then you open it up to see all the goodies!  :)

 

 

Melissa and Doug Create-a-Car ($5.02) Eli has been wanting to build a race car all summer! 

Postagram App credit ($10.00)  Cool app!  You can send postcards to anyone right from your phone!

 

 



Cool It Buddy ($4.99) With the way that Eli has been hurting himself, these will come in handy!

Goodbyn Bento Box ($9.50) This will come in handy!
Goodbyn Dishwasher Safe Stickers ($3.50)  Fun for Eli!

Just Strawberries ($1.25) Eli might like these...  If not, Jack loves dried fruit!  lol

Paid: $18.75 (annual subscription with a discount!)
Value: $34.26

Eli loved the car!  He can't wait to make it!  :)
