If you're on Facebook, you have probably seen the sponsored post that Citrus Lane has had up there for a while -- Citrus Lane is a subscription service where you pay a monthly fee ($25) and get a surprise box of goodies for your kids.
The only reason I decided to try it was that there was a code for half off, and I decided for $12.50 it would be fun for my 5 month old to get something in the mail, since his older sister is usually the one who gets all the mail.
I liked that you can choose the age and gender for your child, so the box comes targeted just right for their age.
We just got our June 2013 box and inside was an iPlay sunhat, an adorable and colorful Boon rubber duck, a full-sized foot cream for me, a tiny sample of diaper cream, a tiny sample of baby lotion, and one pack of squeezable baby food.
The sunhat is 6-18 month size, so it'll be perfect for use this summer and beyond.
The duck is absolutely adorable -- it's probably not something I would have paid the money to get, but I love it, and my little guy is already enjoying chewing on it.
The foot cream is also something I wouldn't have bought myself, but I'll use it.
And the samples don't really come into play in my decision of whether to continue as they are just that -- samples you could get anywhere or from any other company.
So would I recommend Citrus Lane? For the half price of $12.50, yes. It was fun to get the surprise box in the mail, and I enjoyed the anticipation of wondering what we would get. And the sun hat and rubber duck are worth that cost to me, and I consider the foot cream a bonus.
For the regular price of $25? Absolutely not. It's not worth that much money to get stuff I may not need/ want. I'd rather use the $25 to do a fun little shopping spree of fun stuff for my baby that I know I like.
