2 Little Rosebuds
Subscription box reviews by a vegan mom of twins
Monthly subscription boxes for little boys and girls. Contents can range from crafts, toys, art projects, clothing, and other toddler and kid-friendly themes.
The March 2016 My Pretend Place Dress Up Box was one of our favorites yet! — The theme (that we chose ourselves) was “Veterinarian”. So fun!
If you’re not aware, the My Pretend Place Dress Up Box is a quarterly dress-up and “make believe” subscription for both boys and girls. It consists of a selection of items designed to encourage imagination and pretend play geared towards kids aged 3 through 6. [read more…]
March Bramble Box time! — This month’s box featured a fun birthday party theme.

March bluum time! — I’m LOVING this whole “choose your own items” thing.
If you’re not aware, bluum is a monthly subscription box for babies & kiddos from birth through age 5. Each box contains four or more products that are responsibly sourced, eco-friendly and often organic. The contents are based on the age of your kiddo in months, so there are many variations in the boxes that are sent in each shipment. (I don’t think I’ve seen any two boxes that were exactly the same.) [read more…]
Pop in a Box is a unique subscription box that sends you a surprise selection of Funko POP! vinyl figures every month.
When you sign up, you’ll be able to use their “Pop Tracker” to select which Pops you already own. This way, you’ll not only be guaranteed not to receive a figure that you already have, but it’s also a great way to easily keep track of your collection. Pop in a Box has hundreds of Pops available, with more being added all the time. To ensure that you don’t get a Pop that you don’t want, there’s an option to “thumbs up or thumbs down” each and every figure. Anything marked thumbs down will NEVER be sent to you (same goes for the Pops that you flagged as already in your collection). Subscribers also have a chance to win exclusive Pops every month!

The Story Box is a new children’s subscription box that sends two carefully selected hardcover books to your door every month.
The books are chosen based on many different factors with a preference towards those that are colorful, have great illustrations, good vocabulary, good story line, rhyming, alliteration, and more. Along with the books, you’ll also receive a parent guide that is specific to the books in your box and organized into various age groups. (The Story Box books are intended for children ages 1 through 7.) The guide is written by a nationally certified speech-language pathologist and includes tips for making the most out of reading time, ways to encourage communication, and even suggested activities to go along with the particular books.

Our Little Roots is a subscription box that sends you (or your child) a monthly delivery of everything you need to begin growing your own garden. I’ve reviewed them a couple times and it looks like they’ve made some great changes in recent months!
Each Our Little Roots box will contain a packet of non-GMO seeds, organic soil, stakes, and a biodegradable peat pot. When you sign up, you’ll get to indicate your level of gardening experience, select where your seeds will be planted (patio/balcony, backyard, front yard, windowsill), and the type of sun exposure the location gets. Our Little Roots will then select seeds based on the season of the year and where each would thrive in certain climates. If you live up north where it’s colder, they’ll tailor your selection to seeds that can better withstand harsh conditions. [read more…]
