April Citrus Lane Review

This is my first month receiving a Citrus Lane box. I have been not so patiently waiting for this box since mid March. I was SO happy to get this in the mail yesterday! I tore right into it but was only able to take a quick glance at everything before I had to go to work.

 If you don't know about Citrus Lane they are a monthly subscription service that sends you a box of goodies geared toward your child's age. It costs $25 a month and they have an awesome referral program. If you get friends or family to sign up for a monthly box, they give you $10 AND they give your friend $10. The referral programs are one of my favorite parts about subscription boxes, especially when both you and a friend get an incentive.

First Look:

 The outside of the box is cute, but the inside is freakin' adorable! I love how nice and neat everything is packed. If only I could make packages look this nice.

The Information Card

I'm sorry for taking such terrible photos. I was in such a rush to take them before work so I could look up the items and read about them on my down time (Shh.. don't tell my boss!). Their information card is also so nice and neat and organized. They identify each item and give you a little info about each, they also include promo codes for some of the items. 

First glance at all of the good suff!

The Goodies:

Melissa and Doug- Spinning Penguin ($7.99): I love toys like this. I think all the high tech toys are cool too but there is something awesome about basic wooden toys. Inside the box they include a little information book that gives "tips and play ideas." I think that's really cool.

Innobaby- EZ Grip Training Teether ($4.99): This teether is AMAZING! It's so easy for Oliver to hold onto and it's really light. As soon as I gave this to Oliver he was in heaven. I'll go ahead and say that this is his favorite item from this box! I recommend this teether to anyone that has a teething baby! They included a promo code for 15% off my next order. You better believe I will be using it!

 Oogaa- Silicone Train Spoon ($5.99): First of all, how cute is this spoon? The silicone feels great and I know he will love to not only eat with this, but also chew on it. The tip of the spoon is fairly flat, which I really like. It makes feeding so much easier! They also included a promo code, 30% off my next order. 

 

Plum Organics- Little Cremes ($3.29): I've seen these around a lot lately. Oliver isn't quite ready to try these yet but I'm really excited for these when he does. This came with a few coupons too!

The Honest Company- Shampoo and Body Wash ($9.95): As many of you know, I am obsessed with The Honest Company. We already use this daily (both of us) and love it! It smells great and works well. Even though we already have this, I'm so happy that we received this. I've been meaning to ship my brother a hair care kit and this just completed his kit! They included a 20% off coupon for first time buyers. Since I am already a customer, I will send someone this coupon! Just send me your email in the comments below and I will get in touch with you!

Box Value:

The total value of my April Citrus Lane box is $32.21. The box runs for $25.00 (shipping included) a month so it's definitely worth it to get this box! I really did well because I got half off of my first box. I paid $12.50 for all of these goodies! If you want to sign up for your own box, go here and use promo code "firstbox" to get half off your first box!

My Thoughts:

Overall, I am in LOVE with this Citrus Lane box. We will definitely put everything to good use! It's so nice to get a box where I love every single item! I'm already so anxious to get my next one. Ugh, the wait begins.

Thursday Thoughts

Linking up with  Jennifer again! Go check her out :)

• I am super excited about finally getting all of my subsription boxes this month. I signed up for   Citrus Lane and Ipsy at the beginning of march but I missed the deadline for march boxes. This month I will be getting Ipsy, Birchbox, Citrus Lane, and Bluum... in that order, I think. It's been so hard not to subscribe to more but I have to limit myself.
• So, Mothers Day is coming up and I have no idea what to get my mom. I want to do something really nice for her but I'm on a budget. Plus, we share a bank account so it is going to be hard to hide it from her. Any ideas?
• I've been thinking a lot about the vacations I'm going on this year. I am going to San Diego and LA in may to visit friends and family AND go to the Ellen show! Then my mom and I are planning a trip to Vegas for her 50th birthday. I think Vegas will be cool since I haven't been since I turned 21 (I went all the time as a kid.. weird, I know). But recently I've been thinking about how nice it would be to go to Hawaii instead.. or maybe Cancun? We've been to Hawaii a million times so we know how to do it cheap and we know what we like to do there. The plus about Cancun is the all inclusive packages. I'm going to have to do some research. They all look so great that it's hard to decide!

• Tomorrow Oliver is going to spend the night with his grandparents so I will have a night of no work and no baby. I almost don't even know what that feels like anymore. I'll be hanging out with my good friend Lauren for the first time in forever. It will be nice to have some girl time and do whatever we want!
