So one thing since having the boys that I am slightly totally addicted to is monthly mail subscriptions. Currently I receive Citrus Lane, Nature Box and bluum. I have toyed with the idea of Stork Stack...its on my "to-do list". For the month of January I am going to do a re-cap of each of my subscriptions...first on the list bluum!
I had sort-of given up on bluum. I was not 100% satisfied in the past with my boxes and samples and the price. Originally I was paying $33.00 for a 3-month subscription. The box was extremely small and rarely had full size merchandise. So, I decided to take a break.
I received an email early January that they were launching a new box - which promised larger size samples and better quality products. My January box was $12. Below is a list of what was included:
"Movin' and Shakin"
bluum arrives via USPS - a trakcing number is sent so you can keep a watch on your box!
1. StriVectin-SD™ Intensive Concentrate for Stretch Marks & Wrinkles
(box had sample size 0.75 fl oz) Full size $22.00
2. Boiron - Oscillo - $13.00
Claims to reduce duration and severity of flu symptoms...non-drowsy, no side effects, no drug interactions, works naturally with your body....so the box says. Not 100% sure about this one....the registered nurse in me is a bit skeptical
3. "Brain Rules for Baby" by John Medina $15.00
4. Buddy Fruits Food Pouch - $2.00
I prefer not to use the pouches. I have given them to B & B when we have received samples, but I have never purchased them on my own. The taste/quality is not that great and they are messy unless you put them in a bowl and spoon feed.
5. Melissa and Doug Peek-A-Boo Turtle - $10.00
Loved this! Great colors and feel
6. Mossworld - Snack Trap-Blue/Owl - $5.00
Another love! This handy container eliminates spills of snacks and is great for little fingers
Overall I was much more pleased with January's box. The overall value was good and I received more product then what I spent. One thing I do miss is the blue tissue paper like in previous boxes - the brown "crinkle" paper went straight to some little mouths!
It is nice to receive new products, especially things that I would probably never think of buying or are not available where I live (closest REAL store is 35-40 minutes away with very limited baby selection).
If you are looking for new products to try, or just love getting mail like me a bluum box/subscription may be just right! Click here to sign up!
