I'll be truthful...the box sucked besides the purse for LO! LOL! I'm going to add these others to my short list.lol</p> <p> @sorrycharlie: Me either, but I found that one on sale. I follow some mom reviewers on Twitter and one retweeted that deal several times before I took the plunge and ordered. I see a lot of things pass by for kids! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/monthly-box-subscriptions#post-1103370 Sun, 22 Sep 2013 07:54:07 +0000 loveisstrange 1103370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've gotten 3 Citrus Lane boxes, I think. Maybe 4. Theyve sent some useful stuff but Im not sure about the cost vs useful items. I think Im going to cancel it. </p> <p>Ive tried Birchbox for me and I was not a fan AT ALL. They have terrible shipping. I want to try Ipsy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/monthly-box-subscriptions#post-1103330 Sun, 22 Sep 2013 06:36:39 +0000 MamaBehr 1103330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was underwhelmed by Citrus Lane. We got it for just one month, that was it. What I do love is Kiwi Crate, but that's for older kids (like around 3, maybe). Kiwi Crate sends crafts to do with all the supplies hat you would need. It is AWESOME! DD loves it :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/monthly-box-subscriptions#post-1103035 Sat, 21 Sep 2013 19:46:15 +0000 Pancakes 1103035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a subscription to Citrus Lane for a year--discounted subscription price only! I feel like we did get some nice things, but typically one per box and the rest was kind of meh. My sister was here a few weeks ago, and over the course of the weekend, she kept asking, where did you get such-and-such, and almost every time it had come from a Citrus Lane box. However, by the end of the year I really felt that I was getting a lot of repeated items, and most of the time those were the ones I didn't use. Maybe it's hard for them to stay innovative? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/monthly-box-subscriptions#post-1103026 Sat, 21 Sep 2013 19:39:14 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1103026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've tried wittlebee- used to be good and definitely isn't anymore</p> <p>Citrus lane- liked my first box but not my second</p> <p>Mommy box: birch box, did about five months and it was really fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/monthly-box-subscriptions#post-1102898 Sat, 21 Sep 2013 17:21:42 +0000 bushelandapeck 1102898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lovehoneybee: I agree. We've been getting the Citrus Lane boxes for a few months and I'm never super excited about what we get for what we pay. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/monthly-box-subscriptions#post-1102849 Sat, 21 Sep 2013 16:15:15 +0000 Dandelion 1102849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd like to try one, if there was a deal. There's a few I'm interested in, like the arts and crafts one for DS. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/monthly-box-subscriptions#post-1102760 Sat, 21 Sep 2013 13:48:12 +0000 Sapphiresun 1102760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. Shipping in Canada is always ridiculous so it's just not worth it to sign up for stuff like that or really shop online in general. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/monthly-box-subscriptions#post-1102691 Sat, 21 Sep 2013 12:30:12 +0000 lovehoneybee 1102691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really want to like Citrus Lane, but I just don't think the value of the box justifies the price. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/monthly-box-subscriptions#post-1102684 Sat, 21 Sep 2013 12:22:27 +0000 sorrycharlie 1102684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I kinda wanna try one if i could find a deal like that! I don't have the $$ to shell out for full price, or even more than one month I wouldn't think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/monthly-box-subscriptions#post-1102681 Sat, 21 Sep 2013 12:19:48 +0000 MsMamaBear 1102681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mamimami: That's what I worry about too.lol I'm so scared it won't be something good in it. She loved the purse though, carried it to Publix.lol</p> <p>@NavyRN2012: Thanks, I'll check them out! Oh, just looked, they look really fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/monthly-box-subscriptions#post-1102474 Sat, 21 Sep 2013 08:52:23 +0000 NavyRN2012 1102474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We get Bluum. I haven't been disappointed yet and we've been getting them for 5 months now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/monthly-box-subscriptions#post-1102399 Sat, 21 Sep 2013 07:35:31 +0000 mamimami 1102399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am curious about these!!! I guess my concern is the price-quality relationship and also the chance that every month I'll be like, "duh, why didn't I think of this activity?" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/monthly-box-subscriptions#post-1102393 Sat, 21 Sep 2013 07:29:37 +0000 MsMamaBear 1102393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just got our first box from Citrus Lane. I only paid $12 because it was a huge sale. I just wanted to try it out for a cheap price. It was okay, but nothing I'd write home about outside of the "purse" for her.LOL</p> <p>Anyway, anyone get a monthly subscription to anything? I'd like to get one for her, but need some companies to try out. Thanks! </p>
