Citrus Lane-what was in your box?

[arch01]

I keep getting roped back in since I keep getting codes that bring the boxes down to $9. 

DS is 2.5, he got a Green Toys teapot set, a reusable ice pack, some digital code, and some alphabet art cards. This box has been the biggest disappointment-we loved our last box.

What did you get?

[catbus]

I also did the $9 box deal. DS (22 months) received a full set of Melissa & Doug alphabet blocks, a growth chart (pretty cute, but we already have one, so this will be re-gifted), a pack of two one-time use cold packs, and... something else I can't remember.

We got exactly the same as you. DS is 28 months. Our alphabet cards are transportation (I was allowed to pick ahead of time between transportation and animals).

Ours too. I'm hiding these for Christmas LOL

I'm debating regifting the teapot set. He has a kitchen that has some plates/pots/utensils, so we have no real need for it. I also feel like this is one of those things that most kids have by this age, so it was a little out of touch.

[catbus]

I've actually tucked away most CL toys into our office closet to be reused as birthday/Christmas gifts. LOL. E will be thrilled with the alphabet blocks when he gets them in October.

We actually dont already own a teaset, however our play kitchen is stocked with plates and all sorts of stuff.

I didn't love this month's box but they've been pretty good otherwise. It's hit or miss.

We got this exactly.  The other item is lotion.  

I was a little disappointed; N already has the M&D blocks at my mom's, we've already received the same exact lotion and cold packs before.  Bonus though, the woodland themed growth chart (we don't have one) is the theme of N's room!

I always wonder if this is worth it or not, but the posts seem to be all over if kids get anything useful.

I was thinking of doing a subscription as part of E's christmas gift to sort of space things out.

Yes, lotion! I actually love that lotion. We started using the last bottle a few months ago (we also received it previously in a CL box) and are about halfway through it, so I was actually happy to get a new one. No need for me to buy any!

How does one get the $9 box deal? I would love to try it!

Me too!  The green toys dishes and teapot are nice (and cost more than $9).

[xojo1]

I got the August box for $7 to try it out. E is 6 months. She received a growth chart, lotion, a push turtle on wheels, and a snack container. Worth it for $7 but I'd be mad if I paid full price.

if you want to sell the tea set, let me know how much. That one is on my DD's wishlist.

[pugz]

yeah we got the teapot, transportation flashcards, and the cold pack. Definitely not our best box but we have a year subscription (I think it averaged out to $15 a box?) and overall I think it's worth it for us, we've gotten some great stuff that we use all the time.

We already have a full green toys tea set though, actually we have two...one still in box that I'm probably going to send my nieces for Christmas.

[spk926]

I want in on the $9 boxes too!

let me figure out shipping and i'll let you know!

re: $9 boxes-i posted a code a couple weeks back. i'll post again if i get another.

[redheadk]

I'm done with Citrus Lane. This box was terrible, there was literally nothing in it that I liked. We already have the blocks, we have plenty of ice-packs (and DD hates them), I don't care for the growth chart at all, and some digital code.

It's too hit or miss and the miss boxes are not worth it at all.

[my4girls]

I am expecting our first one on Friday. it was only $2.95 so my hopes are not the high at least

I got this too, except we got the pig instead of the turtle. I paid $5. I'd pay for the box if I could get it for $10 or under monthly, but I was seriously underwhelmed since I'll probably only use the push toy. I am wtf about that snack container. I really want to love Citrus Lane. It would be so fun to explore new toys and products every month. I would be pissed, livid even, if I had paid full price for this box.

[bronxgirl]

Mine still hasn't come yet. I know she'll be getting a rubber ball with a ballerina design b/c I picked that as a free add-on. I hope the other stuff is worth it. I paid $7 for the box so I can't go wrong. Last month's box had some good stuff, but I'm going to use them for gifts. DD is aging out of Citrus lane, but they keep sending me 7 or 9 dollar deals so I keep going back.

we just got ours yesterday and this is what it was. I am glad I only paid $3 for it because that's about what it's worth. I was hoping to get something good to encourage me to keep it, but I cancelled it this morning

We got this plus lotion. I was not impressed. We already own a set of those blocks.

[mainelyfoolish]

DS also got the ice pack, tea set, and animal alphabet cards. My 6 year old DD was all over that tea set!

I just got an email about a $7 box. It appears to be good for new & existing customers. I'm not sure if it's for the September box, or if it's the box bought in September that ships in October. Any insight? (I already used a code in August to get the box that ships in September.)

Details c/p from the email -

Offer Details: SEPTBOX7 valid for new or previous Citrus Lane customers that purchase a self-subscription. Cannot be combined with other promotions and is valid until 11:59 PM, September 1, 2014 or while supplies last. One per household. Subscriptions automatically renew to full retail price. You may cancel anytime after receiving your first box

edited to tag people requesting codes. The code is actually SEPTBOX7. It appears to be for the box being shipped in September, which is why the code is only good through Sept 1st.

Dd is 25 months.

She got melissa & doug blocks, a reusable ice pack, some online code, freeze dried food, and the growth chart.

I didn't like a single thing, it was a giant waste of money. We've done citrus land for almost 2 years but this pushed me over the edge and we cancelled.

Seriously, the melissa & doug abc blocks? How many people can there possibly be out there that would want but not have alphabet blocks by age 2?

[pierogigirl]

Thanks kategm. I ordered a box. I put in my older son's birthday, so hopefully we get something good.

[brooklyn]

I just sold the blocks to someone in my moms group for $10 so I feel a little better.

Should I sign up for a monthly account and cancel if I don't like it? With the $9 code... was that just for one month too?
