*As of December 2015, Citrus Lane is no longer in business. If you’re looking for an alternative, bluum is a great choice. — You can see my reviews of them here.

Although I’ve already reviewed February’s Citrus Lane box not too long ago, I’m posting another one!
I totally forgot that my mom took advantage of their free box offer last month and ordered one for the girls. She aged it up a bit (not sure exactly how much), so I’m guessing this box is for a 2 year old maybe? Seems about right, based on the other reviews I’ve seen.
I was SO excited when she called me up to remind me that she had ordered a box, and then went on to reveal what was inside. I was hoping that I’d get 2 of the items in our “normal” box, and when we didn’t I was kinda bummed. So when I heard that we actually DID get them, I was super stoked. (Yep, when you’re a mom you totally get “stoked” by stuff like this. Sad, but true.)
Oh, if you don’t already know, Citrus Lane is a monthly subscription for babies/kids (aged newborn-5). It’s $29/month (cheaper with longer subs) and includes a nice assortment of toys, books, snacks, toiletries, etc. Sometimes they even include a gift for mom. (They did this time. Yay!)
Okay, onto Box #2!
Green Toys Stock Pot & Utensils – This is one of the items I was really hoping to get! I love it! Green Toys are all made from 100% recycled milk jugs and even meet FDA requirements for food use. They’re also dishwasher safe and freakin’ adorable. We’ve gotten the tugboat in a previous Citrus Lane box, and we use it regularly to rinse the girls’ hair in the bathtub. This stock pot set is normally sold with a frying pan as well, but it was left out (intentionally). I really don’t mind, and had I not looked it up on Amazon, I wouldn’t have known anyway. 😉 (Amazon Price: $13.25, but without the pan I’ll say $10.00)
Oogaa Silicone Divided Plate – The second item I was hoping for! I got the bowl in my regular box, but really wanted this cute divided plate — and now I have it! Woo! This will be perfect for for offering the girls more than one food item at a time (well, once they stop throwing everything). I love that it’s microwave/dishwasher/oven-safe. It’s made of 100% food grade silicone, so you don’t have to worry about nasty chemicals leaching into your kiddo’s meals (ew). (Amazon Price: $13.99)
The last 2 items were the same as what I received in my other box, so I’m just going to steal the photos/descriptions from that review. I won’t pretend they’re new to me… But I also don’t wanna leave them out, sooo… Yeah. 😉
Starlight Sailor from Barefoot Books – This is one BIG board book (8.5 x 8.7 x 0.7 inches, to be exact). I was impressed that they included a book so large/heavy. It’s from Barefoot Books, which Citrus Lane has partnered with in the past and seem to be a fan favorite. The story is about a little boy and his dog who venture into the world of dreams and discover magical, mystical creatures along the way. Honestly, I’d rather have gotten something a little more… cutesy(?), but for all I know the girls may end up loving this kinda thing. (Amazon Price: $13.28)
Juice Beauty Green Apple Age Defy Hand Cream – A mom gift! This is a nice sized (2 ounce) hand cream designed to reduce lines and wrinkles. It’s made with certified organic ingredients and natural essential oils. Yay for mom gifts. (Amazon Price: $14.80)
I was super happy with my “bonus” box! I’ve been wanting the stock pot set for a while, the divided plate will totally come in handy soon, books are always appreciated, and the hand cream is a nice extra!
When totaled, all of the items in my box come to $52.07, so it’s definitely one of the higher value boxes I’ve gotten lately.
