S loves to get mail and I had been considering trying out one of the kids monthly subscription boxes, so we signed up for Citrus Lane. We used a promo code and only paid $14.50 for our first box. Citrus Lane sends the boxes based on your child’s gender and age. So our box is for a 4.5 year old girl.
July 2014
Our first box came in the mail last month (end of July). We received:
Tooth Fairy Doll by North American Bear Company – S is not big on stuffed animals they just lay around. We also already have a Tooth Fairy box, so we really did not need another. So, while this is cute and well made, it’s not something that is going to get much use. $11.99
Match Stacks by Tree Hopper Toys – The match game is super cute and I love that it is made out of solid wood. $19.95
Applesauce Pouch from GoGo Squeez – S ate this right away. She loves these pouches. $1.00
Pur~Protect SPF 30 from Pur~Lisse – The sunscreen of course will be used. $6.32 While I was not blown away by the selection this month the value was there. Retail would have cost $39.26, but I only paid $14.50, shipped.
August 2014
I went ahead and got another month, because I know that Citrus Lane can not get it right every month. We just received our second box last week and I really like the selection. 
Tea for Two from Green Toys – This tea set is awesome! It is made entirely of eco-friendly materials and is food safe and dishwasher safe. S had hosted “tea” every afternoon since we received our package. I love that it promotes creative and imaginative play. This was made exclusively for Citrus Lane, so approximate retail value of $15.00
Mix and Match from Petit Collage – This mix and match set also promotes creativity. S has played with this several times creating different characters by mixing heads, bodies and legs. $14.99 
Kids Shoe Horn by Jasmine Seven – This item I found to be very odd. I’ve never used a shoe horn and S didn’t even know what it was. $3.95
Language Video Digital Download from Little Pim – I am excited to download this video to help introduce a second language to S. $16.66
This month’s box was worth approximately $50.60
While I enjoyed the selection better this month, I was going to cancel our subscription and try another company. However, when I put in to cancel, Citrus Lane offered me one month at $15.00 to give them another try. So I went ahead and agreed to receive another box next month. I think the box is a great value at $15.00. So I am excited to see what’s in our box next month.

Such a cute idea! I didn’t know they did monthly boxes for kiddos.
Another one is Kiwi Crate which is arts and crafts for kids – we really love that one!
Thank you for your honesty Paris. I look forward to the next box you receive because I may have to pass on this subscription box.
Thanks Louida! I think your girls would be to grown up for this subscription box company.
I was thinking the same thing Paris. Also thanks for linking up! Have a great Labor Day Weekend! #ProductReviewParty
You too Louida!
I adore subscription box services; it’s what started my blogging adventure. My little guy has had several different ones of these and he really enjoys them. Your girl looks so pretty with her tea set 🙂
Thank you Tiffany! The subscription boxes are so fun to receive
We are got our first box last week and I haven’t shared the goodies with C yet. However, I do think he got a great box this time!
I hope he enjoys his box!
How cute is that tea set! Love this idea! xx, b @ being-bianca.com
Definitely a favorite in our house!
such a cute box!
Thanks Tianna
That’s such a neat box! I actually love the tooth fairy doll.
It’s super cute!
WOW those picks were great! Very impressive. I could see myself using all of these items.
I am really loving the green toys!
I laughed at loud at the shoehorn for kids. Some of the products were really cute, though. Looking forward to seeing what will be in the next box.
Atleast now S knows what a shoehorn is 🙂
What fun! I love surprises!
Yes, it’s like Christmas 🙂
What a lucky girl and what a thoughtful Mother! Looks like great value.
She’s so excited to get a package in the mail.
I love monthly subscription boxes. I haven’t had a chance to try citrus lane out though. It looks awesome!
Thanks Victoria!
I didn’t know they did subscription boxes for kids! The little girl I babysat for this summer adored tea parties! I loved how she expressed her creativity through them and made up voices for her “guests” aka, her stuffed animals. She was a hoot!
Sounds like she had a great imagination! Love that!
Awh this is super cute, I love the tea for two and the tooth fairy doll although cuddly toys don’t get used in our house either!
The tea set is awesome for sure!
This a really cute idea. I love that it gives your kids a couple new things each month, and that some aren’t toys but items you need in the household. Brilliant!
And you know how kids love new items that they get to open!
We love Citrus Lane! You guys got some great stuff in your box this month!
Thanks Sarah! The tea set was worth the box I think at this point. It’s the most played with item in the house.
Cute products for the little ones!
And they always enjoy getting packages in the mail! It’s like Christmas every month 🙂
Looks like she got some cute stuff. I wish this company had been around when my girls were younger. I think they’re too old for it now, but it’s still fun to see what you received 🙂
I always like checking out what people receive in their subscription boxes!
That looks like such a cute idea for little girls! Stopping by from #productreviewparty
Thank you Stacie! She really enjoyed the box.
Now this concept is really taking off. Now they have subscription boxes for young girls? How awesome is that?
It’s pretty awesome for the kids 🙂 It’s like Christmas every month!
