So, I love to scrapbook and used to subscribe to a monthly scrapbook kit each month that was delivered right to my door. I remember the excitement of getting that box and opening it and seeing all my new goodies. Well, another company has started a similar concept for children. They are called Citrus Lane. Rather than hunting for the latest and coolest new baby products, they do it for you, put them together in kits and deliver them right to your door. I love this idea! The cost is only $25 (and free shipping) and you get anywhere from $35-$45 in products!
It works by parents choosing products for other parents. In other words, no one is paying to have their product put into these gift boxes. So, you don’t have to worry about getting something that is not practical for your baby. Boxes are based on age, and you can sign up for a 3 month, 6 month or 12 month subscription.
The June box I have to say is so cute. Each month the boxes are created around a theme, and in June it was “Little Artists”. There is everything from organic on the go stain remover, to adorable wall decals, to edible paint and crayons for the tiniest little artist that wants to put everything in his mouth like my little guy. Plus, much, much more! I have to say, I want to try out these boxes for myself and my seven month old!
Need a gift for a baby shower? They have special boxes for that too. You can gift a single box designed especially for baby showers, or gift an on-going gift each month by subscribing to their age appropriate boxes. If you choose to gift a subscription, they even have printable cards on their website to go along with the gift.
I can’t say enough about how cool I think this idea is, and I definitely want to check them out for myself.
