Growing Up Big! CitrusLane November’13 Review

12 Dec

Indeed! Bean’s November Citrus Lane! box was truly a show of how much he’s growing and items to assist in helping him develop and grow further! 🙂

Citrus Lane is a local Bay Area Peninsula company and I could not be more happy with their service!
Even though we’ve recently moved to Bend, I certainly look forward to our continued deliveries and brightening my baby’s (and my hubs’) faces with new toys every month! 🙂

Upon signing up, we provided age and gender of our little one and now receive a wonderful box of age-appropriate goodies every month!

Here’s a look inside Citrus Lane’s November 2013 box :

~ A Green Toys Tug Boat :
So wonderful… it was an immediate hit, even out of the water!
Seems Citrus Lane and Green Toys have a wonderful relationship… as Bean has received quite a few Green Toys and he’s always been super pleased! As well, the toys are always, amazingly, well planned to his developmental interests!

~ Fun Utensil set by Skip Hop :
Here we are… Bean is eating up a storm! He enjoys food (thank goodness, because this helps him grow bigger!) and loves feeding himself, so I typically set him up in his highchair and place finger foods on the tray for him to go for… recently, he’s expressed a big need to use (aka : hold) utensils. These Zootensils may help feed his need… and how cool is it that he got the Shark image!? 🙂

~ Fantastic Reusable Snack Bags by Bumkins :
We already have a few Bumkins bibs and a wet bag (from a previous Citrus Lane box)… so this was a great, useable addition to our collection!
Bumkins products are so easy to use and clean!  I’ll enjoy the ease of taking snacks (he’s loving berries & crackers lately!)  along for my growing boy to munch on. Of course, these bags do not have to be used only for baby snacks, if I were so inclined I could reserve one for doggie treats or to hold little items that I need to keep in the diaper bag… hmm, what else can these great baggies be used for!?

~ Lip Comfort by Pur~lisse :
Yay… a little something for mama!
Dang, and wouldn’t ya know it… I didn’t pack it with my ‘necessities’ during 30days of Temp Housing in Bend!
Hit day 2 in our new town and BAM! Snow and close to Zero temps… my lips will be happy to get a bit of Lip Comfort in a couple weeks!
It’s petroleum-free and uses jojoba oil, shea, mango, and vegetable  butters to hydrate dry, wintery lips! I’m game!

~ A coupon for a Second Blends by Plum Organics :
A nice blend of fruit,veg, and sometimes a grain for those baby’s ready for the the next big!
I do understand that Plum Organics had a recall on some of their pouches and, thus, Citrus Lane diligently pulled the originally enclosed pouches for the November Boxes and replaced them with this coupon. I, actually, find that action to be admirable of both Citrus Lane & Plum Organics.

~ Four Sets of Address Labels & Free Shipping from Tiny Prints :
A code that would allow for 96 Free Address Labels and Free Shipping with a minimum purchase of $99.
That’s a sweet gesture and good timing for the holidays!

~ Lastly, I added a special purchase to our November Box, since we were already getting a ‘shipment’.
Since Bean loved his Hohner Kids Tambourine in October’s box, I opted to get him a kid’s harmonica… he loves it, though he doesn’t know how to use it yet himself… he loves holding up to our faces so that we’ll play it for him! Cute!

If I had purchased all these items individually… I’d have spent more than $47, not including shipping & tax.

As always, looking forward to next month’s box! That Holiday’s are here!
It’s so fun watching my guys’ (hubs and boy) open the Citrus Lane box every month! :)
