Citrus Lane Review and Best Deals of the Year and Promo Code

I was very excited to get another opportunity to bring the excitement of the Citrus Lane box back into our house for our little one. I really was impressed with this box before and so did our little one, so we knew to expect some great goodies in this November box. It was perfect timing as well, as her birthday was around the same time the box came.

Citrus Lane Box 

This box was designed to include great items good for playtime and bedtime. I originally thought this was November's box, but I was informed that this, in fact, is October's box. 

Dreamz & Twinkies To Go from Cloud B- $18

This was a hit for our little one. We have always had a night light for her, but recently since we moved further out to the country, where you can actually see the stars very clearly most nights, we have been pointing out the stars to her, and she is very into the stars now. She l often points them out to us now. This little Twinkle To Go Octo shines bright with Stars and Fish, and she thinks it is just so cool that she can sleep under the stars now. What I really like about the Octo is that it has a set timer for 45 minutes, and then it turns off. No wasting batteries!  A great addition to her box. 

Rhythm Sticks from Hohner Kids- $6

I think any kid would love these Rhythm Sticks. These sticks are great while singing songs, teaching rhythm patterns, and just to run around making noises around the house. 

BOPS from Good Boy Organics- $3

This is a yummy baked treat for both parents and little one. What I like about this chip is that it contained less fat, gluten free, free of trans fat and preservatives, and they are baked. They tasted very good. You can tell they were not a normal potato chip, since they were not greasy at all, but they were very tasty.

Ladybug Magazine and Digitial Subscription- $8

I had never really taken a look at this magazine before. We subscribe to Zoobooks, and really like that magazine, but after looking through Ladybug Magazine I really like this one too.  The magazine contains great stories to share at bedtime or to read whenever, and all with some great illustrations. I cannot wait to download this on to the I-Pad to share with our little one as well. She has been asking to read at bedtime a lot lately, and it will be great to have new stories for her all the time, and that keep her actually interested and engaged. 

TICKLED PINK OPINION

Overall, we were very happy with our Citrus Lane box this month. I think that the mix of playtime and bedtime items was perfect. The playtime toys will keep our little one busy and entertained, and the night time toys will definitely help out with bedtime. It is great we got bedtime items this month since bedtime is not our little ones favorite part of the day.  With the Twinkle Octo and the stories, hopefully bedtime with be easier. Our Citrus Lane box was a courtesy box, but would normally cost $25 per month. The contents of our box this month included around $35 worth of products. So while, I have seen some other Citrus Lane boxes that wowed me a little more than this one, this was definitely was still a great box and was worth the subscription cost.  Since I have seen so many other boxes out there that I love, I really think I may renew my Citrus Lane subscription, especially right now with all the great deals.

New Kids Subscription Xplore Box Review

It has been such a busy couple weeks, that we really have not been able to get into our boxes and play with them like we usually do. However, we recently got the chance to try out the Xplore Box, and I must say I am very impressed. As a big fan of science all through high school and college, I was excited to share the Xplore Box with our little one.

What is the Xplore Box?

The Xplore Box was started by a Team made up of professionals with experience in the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) fields. As children they enjoyed the hands-on projects and STEM activities that ultimately led us to careers in STEM. This amazing team has now created the Xplore Box that is curated to help engage and take an interest in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). Each month a hands-on kits and toys are delivered to your door for your child, “Turning little tinkers into big thinkers!” Great for kids ages 7 to 12!

Cost: $29.95

First  Xplore Box

KITCHEN SCIENCE

Kitchen Science Kit

This looks like something that I could have fun doing. So much fun!  This kit has activities from generating electricity, launching a rocket, to creating a volcanic eruption. These are all made with items that can also be found in your kitchen. This was something that I left to Daddy to help the little one to do, as she is just a tad young to really do these on her own.

Gummy Bear Tower

This was  ton of fun. I must say I think our little one was eating just as many while we were building. One for the tower, two for her tummy. Haha. It was a lot of fun though. However, she also had a lot of fun demolishing it.

Xplore Noteboox and Pencil

Loved the pink pencil, and even though our little one is younger than the recommended age, she loved the notebook. She has already started to doodle in it.

TICKLED PINK OPINION: I really think that Xplore Box is such a great box for kids. It is great to get little minds going, thinking, and being creative. Who knows he or she could be the next Rocket Scientist, Astronaut, Engineer, etc…It is never too young to start letting kids exploring, being creative, using their imaginations, and using their brain.

Until next time…

New Subscription- Little Miss Goodie Bags August Review

As you all know I love subscription boxes, and I especially love seeing new concepts for subscription boxes. The box I am about to introduce I just love. I just got the chance to try out this new subscription called Little Miss Goodie Bags and I cannot tell you how much I like this new subscription box.  This box makes me want to start planning party, after party, after party…

What is Little Miss Goodie Bags?

Each month you will receive a box in the mail containing decorations and ideas to have a themed party for 8.  Each Little Miss Goodie Bags Box is filled with homemade and handpicked items geared towards everyone!  All this fun packed in one box, and then delivered right to your door for the cost ranging between $34.95 to $29.95, depending on what subscription plan you pick.

August Gone Surfin'

Little Miss Goodie Bags

The theme for the August Little Miss Goodie Bags was Gone Surfin', which I think is just the cutest idea.  Not only did the Little Miss Goodie Bags provide the decorations to have a great party, but also some great tips/ideas  to use at your own party as well. 

8 Flag Banner

Don't worry oven was not on during the taking of this picture. Looks dangerous huh. 

This was super cute, and perfect to decorate above or hanging on a  snack bar location. The colors with the Gone Surfing theme are just awesome as well.

Cupcake Liners (24 count)

No party is complete without some yummy sweet treats. Thus, the cupcake liners. You could use these for actual cupcakes or these would be great liners for other treats to serve at the Gone Surfin' Party, like Life Savers or Gold Fish Crackers (ideas from Little Miss Goodie Bags idea card).

Surfboard Toppers (8 count) -$2

These toppers are just the cutest, and my favorite decoration out of the bunch. These indeed would make a cupcake topper, but they also would be perfect as a sandwich holder or to push into a rice crispy treat. The possibilities are endless.

Mini Banner/Cake Topper

I just love these cute banners on cakes. A little banner like this just  makes a cake stand out even more.  I will most definitely be using this on a cake some time in the future.

Food Tents (8 count)

These are to label the food so people know what they are eating. However,  they also could be great name placement cards. The details of the little wood panel car on the food tents is great, a perfect surfer car.

Straws with flags (8 count)

Love stripped flags. These cute little decorations just add a little zest to the every day party drink.

Galvanized Buckets with Gone Surfing Décor (8 count)

The possibilities for these little buckets are endless as well. You could fill them up with treats for take home party favors, or use them as table decorations. A great little extra to add pop to any party.

Paper Poms (3 count)

Poms are just a great little addition to any party décor. I sometimes am amazed that just a  little thing like poms or pinwheels can make a party look so different.

TICKLED PINK OPINION:  I really love this first Little Miss Goodie Bags. What I love most about this box is that these decorations are handmade. I usually like to make my own decorations as well, so I know how much work it takes to put together decorations like these. So having a box like this available to parents who are just really busy is great. No matter how busy you are, your party can look great. Overall,  I was very impressed with each and every item, and cannot wait to get my use out of them.  I think I may coordinate these decorations with a Surfer/Shark theme kids birthday party. Our little one loves fish and sharks. Yes, I know, Sharks and Surfers, should they be at a party together, haha. Well at my parties yes.  

What did you think of the Little Miss Goodie Bags? You have a special party you need to decorate for, well look no further. If you want to see past boxes from Little Miss Goodie Bags OR  If you want to get your own box, you can HERE.

Until next time…
