Citrus Lane- October Boxes

Another month brings yet another Citrus Lane box! (Read more about Citrus Lane here.) This month, Citrus Lane decorated their boxes with a little pink to bring attention to breast cancer awareness since October is considered Breast Cancer Awareness month. They also had some fun pink moustaches on their boxes to bring attention to men's health. We had some fun with those moustaches!


The content of the boxes was just as fun. This month, we actually got an extra box at a good deal. I put the age between the ages of Client One and Client Two so they can share the box and so I could set some of the items aside for Christmas.

The extra box included a cute pair of cupcake leg warmers from Oh La Leggies, a set of mini maracas and two story sets from Janod. Client One opened up the box and instantly loved the maracas. In fact, they distracted her well enough that I was able to sneak the cute story sets out and put them away for Christmas. I figure each Client will get one with their stocking.

Client One's box was a big hit! In fact, I think this just might be the best box we've received yet! Her box included a larger set of maracas, a pink super hero cape, a snack by Annie's and some fun dominos from Janod.

The pink cape was definitely Client One's favorite thing from the box. She had to put it one right away. It's pretty good quality, too. I can see this cape getting a lot of use. I love, too, that it will add to imaginative play, since that is what Client One is really into right now.


The second best thing in the box, and probably my favorite thing would be these dominos. They are nice and large cardboard pieces. One side has the traditional number dots with a colorful background. The other side has different animals. Shortly after receiving her box, Client One insisted on playing the game. After helping her through one round of the game, she was able to play the second round pretty much by herself. These were spot-on for her age and they are something that she will be able to play with without outgrowing for years.

What kid doesn't love maracas? I like these because they are not super loud so she can play with them without driving me crazy. They are also pretty sturdy so they're no going to be breaking any time soon. They're pretty easy to hold, too. Even Client Two had some fun with them!


And, of course, we can't forget the snack! We love Annie's snacks! They are tasty and all-natural. Client One can eat them without getting all crazy because there is no artificial food dye. The snack also included a coupon for more snacks that will most assuredly get used in the very near future.


Client Two also enjoyed his box. I'll be honest, when I saw spoilers for this box, I was a little disappointed. It didn't look like much and the value was barely there. But then the box arrived. As soon as I opened up the box, Client Two's eyes lit up and he got super excited. His excitement got me excited and now I love the box! His box included a cage bell toy, a "My First Football" from North American Bear Co., a book, and a couple of small samples of baby products.

The cage bell was Client Two's favorite item by far. He couldn't wait to grab it out of the box and then he sat there playing with it for a good ten minutes. He laughed and laughed as he shook it. It terrified the kitties (which was just fun) and amused the baby. Two thumbs up on this toy!


The book is super cute. And it's a board book, so it will survive a teething Client Two. The illustrations were nice and bright and help his attention. Plus, it's a nice "boy" book which will offset the ever growing princess book collection nicely! We are a book family. Pretty much every room on our house has books. Everywhere you look- books. So, we always appreciate a new book! All in all a pretty decent treat.


The football is actually pretty cute. We are NOT a football family so I just wasn't excited about it. I do love the company. We have many items from the North American Bear Co. so I know that it is great quality. Client Two had little interest it except to giggle when I threw it in the air. I'm keeping it around for awhile to see if it catches his interest at a later date. If not, it will probably be nice gift for someone.


And then there were the little samples, both by Weleda. It's a company I've never really used since they are more expensive, so I'm glad I get the chance to try them out. One sample is a shampoo and the other a diaper cream. They are clearly only good for one use but I'll toss them in the diaper bag to save for an emergency. Personally, I just love the little bag they came in! 



At the end of the day, I think Citrus Lane put together some great boxes this month. They were definitely a hot with my clients! Don't forget, you can get a monthly box for your kiddo, too! Just click here. You can try one month at half-price through that link and then cancel if you find that Citrus Lane just isn't your thing. Canceling can be done online or over the phone and is pretty easy to do. Sometimes they will even offer you a great deal to stick around! We love Citrus Lane, as these smiles can prove!
