November Toddler Baby Guy Box

Here is my review of the November Toddler Baby Guy Box. This month you could choose either a girl box or a boy box. I went with the boy box and they were prices at $39.99. The company started in July and their first box was $59.99 along with their other boxes after that. The boxes from August, September, and October. This is the first time they did gender boxes and with a lower price point so this is one of their smaller boxes. They will continue to sell the bigger specialty boxes at $59.99 Ok, let's see what I got.





Ez pz Happy Mat $24.99 
This has been the main talk of the box. It is a placemat with your childs plate built in. I think it is pretty cool, it suctions to your table so your child cannot show the mat away. I really like this concept. This mat is dishwasher, microwave, and oven safe. It is silicone and built to last. It also is shaped like a smiley face so your kids will be happy about it. Try it out you will not regret it. Ez pz also started making a smaller version called the mini mat.


Boon Fluid Sippy Cup $7.50 
This unique sippy cup features a unique grip that little ones love. It has a two handed design and is spill resistant. My 17 month old already loves to hold it in his little hands.
My Natural plush toy $22.00 
My son received the cat. Some other boy boxes received an orange dog and the girl boxes received a purple elephant. This plush toy is all natural, hypoallergenic, and eco friendly. It is made with premium quality cotton velour. It is also safely made free of harmful substances and toxic chemicals. It is the perfect plush for your little one and it is even machine washable for easy cleaning.
The Original Toddler Cards $24.00 
This set of cards is for the early years (1-4) These cards are great to capture and remember your child's early years. It comes with 30 cards and each card has a date on it so you can write in the exact date that your child reached each milestone and take a picture.

Seattle Chocolate $3.50
 This is for the mommy or daddy the flavor we got is San Juan Sea Salt. Yum.

Budsies $15 voucher code. 
This is a $15 gift card to budsies. It is listen on the card, so people assume it counts towards the value. If it does then that is not good because most people will not use it as budsies products are about $80 so I will not count this towards the value of the box.

Ok. I paid $39.99 and the value of my box is $81.99 so it is definitely about double what I paid. If we count the gift card towards the value then the value would be $96.99 I was not overall thrilled when I saw the amount of items in the box but now that my box arrived I think the items are cute and really like the cat.

Did you get a box? What do you think of this box? Will you order next time? Let me know in the comments below. :)

Citrus Lane Chunky Puzzle Vehicles Mystery Box

Citrus Lane Chunky Puzzle vehicles Mystery Box

Every so often Citrus Lane releases Mystery boxes. This is the Melissa & Doug chunky puzzle mystery box for November 2014. Citrus Lane is closing around January so I thought I will buy a few mystery boxes. These boxes are separate from the monthly subscription boxes and you are advised that these boxes may contain duplicates.
Let's see what we got in this box.



Melissa & Doug Chunky Vehicles Puzzle- Vehicles $9.99
Great puzzle. Each vehicle has a full color matching picture underneath for you too match it to. Great for 2 year olds and even my 17 month old loves it.

Sailing Boat Penguin $14.00
How cute is this? A little penguin from the North Pole in a sail boat. It is perfect for bath time and also comes in a seal and a polar bear.


Bear on a Bike Barefoot Books $6.99 
Join Bear as he tries out different forms of transport and has an adventure with each one. Rhyme and repetition support the learning layers of travel and transportation, as Bear travels in a raft, a rocket ship, a boat, a bike, a steam train, and a carriage.


Skip Hop Zoo Straw Bottle $7.00
This bottle is perfect for when your toddler is ready to transition form sippy cups. It is easy to use and  gives your toddler the feeling of a big kid cup even though it has a flip top lid. Great Bottle.

Little Buddy Wipes $2.99 
This is a 32 pack of antibacterial wipes. They are great for on the go and can be used for cleaning hands, faces, and even scrapes. This is a great item to have for your little ones.
 First Words Ring Flash Cards $12.99
These flash cards are great. You can use them to teach your child words or even as wall decorates for their bedroom or playroom.

I paid $24.00 for this box and the overall value is $53.96 This was not a bad box but my son already had the book and the boat, so we may trade them or give as gifts.

Wantable Intimates November 2015

Wantable Intimates November 2015


 Wantable has a bunch of different subs such as Makeup, fitness, Intimates, accessories, and style edit. This is their Intimates collection which is my favorite. They recently did some changes to the intimates sub and from what I am seeing from this box, I do not like these changes. They raised the price from  $36 a month to $40 a month to $50 a month. It went from 3-5 items to 3-4 premium items and now to only 3 items. Seeing how my box has items that I got well over 6 months ago and shorts that I have seen many people get in the months before the price change, I would say they are going downhill. $50 is a lot of money for this sub and if you are a current subscriber you can keep the $40 price. If you stay subbed each month you get a $4 credit so your next month will be $36 and people that join now it will be $46. I do not like how they are charging more for the same old items and giving you less. That does not seem right to me.

Disclosure: I paid $40 for this box and I review wantable on my own behalf. My reviews are my own honest opinions. 



Real Underwear Spring Fling Top in Strawberry Pink $16.00 My price $8.00
This is a cute top that has matching bottoms but I was only sent the top. I am a little disappointed because I already have this top and the bottoms in pink and in aqua. I received this top in previous boxes that all had 4 items and this box only has 3.




 Drama Raw Edge Shorts $16.00 My price $8.00
These shorts have a drawstring waist and polka dots pattern. I am not really a fan of shorts for my Wantable boxes so this may be going back.
 Wantable Knit Robe with Shearling in Smokey Diamond $48.00 My price $24.00
This robe has shearling on the collar and looks cozy for the winter. I did ask for something with fur on the cuffs so here it is. It does look big for me so I probably should have asked for a smaller size.
The overall value of my box is $80

October Terra Bella

October Terra Bella Box

Terra Bella Box is $37.95 for the regular box which is 5-6 items $17.95 for the lite box which is 2-3 items. I really like Terra Bella it is a little different then other subscription boxes and I think they send you very good products each month. This is the regular box for October.






Batty's Bath Dead Sea Mud Mask $10.00 
This mask can help with all types of problems from acne, psoriasis, Eczema, dry skin, clogged pores, oily skin etc. It is packed with over 21 essential minerals that are essential for your body and it detoxes really well. I like it a lot.

Live Beautifully Whipped Lip Butter in Pumpkin and Vanilla $5.00 
This is not your traditional lip butter but it is a whipped lip butter. I have never seen anything like this before. It goes on really smooth and tastes great too. It is also made with all natural ingredients which is definitely a plus.

Soup Cauldron Gravenstein Apple and Clove Bar Soap $3.25
This soap contains naturally retained glycerin soothes and moistures your skin. Did I mention the Gravenstein Apple Clove scent smells great too? And look how pretty it is!


Hex Potions Loose mineral eyeshadow in Apparition $8.00
This eye shadow may be applied over an eye primer for all day color or it may be applied wet or as a liner for a darker look. The color I received which is called Apparition it a really pretty greenish color and I really like it.  

Blackbird Cosmetics Loose Luxury Eyeshadow in Immortals $6.50 
This luxury eye shadow is Vegan and lip safe. Even though it is a matte eye shadow, it has a glow to it. It is long lasting and water resistant what more could you ask for.

This toner is is made with Organic lemon juice and witch hazel. It is Vegan and cruelty free and it is sure to brighten your face and neck.

Overall Value of this box is $42.75. I think this is a great box and I would recommend it.

BabyGuyBox Eco Box

The baby guy box is not a subscription box but a one time purchase box. So each time you will have to buy instead of automatically being able to receive it each much like Citrus Lane or other boxes. It is $59.99 a box and the them changes each month. This month there were two themes. The Eco Box and The Babywearing/On the Go box. Here is the Eco Box.

Apple cheeks Microterry little bundle $26

This box came with many different colors or some prints, we received winging it. I have never tried cloth diapering yet but I do think this print is cute and would love to try it though it is a size 1 and my son is 19 lbs so I do not think we would get much use out of it. Other boxes that do items such as clothing diapers etc let you choose the size and I think that is something the baby guy should do because it is not right to tell people oh the box is fine for your big 19 month old don't worry order it, when they know that this item is in the box and won't fit that persons 19 month old, I have seen them tell this to numerous people right before boxes went on sale. My son is a tiny 16 month old.
Grovia trial kit $20 
The print that we received was funfair.  I was going to try cloth diapering with this diaper but I am not into the print we got, so I will either trade it for a different one or sell it. Like I said I do not cloth diaper but may try with the items from this box. I did open and feel this grovia and it is so soft and even the liner is super soft so I do like that and think it would feel great on my sons skin and this is better since it goes up to 35 lbs.

Little Standout #hashtag teether $15 
We got this teether in orange. It is a nice teether and prefect for those teeth that are hard to reach. It is also 100 % silicone and you can put it in the freezer or even the dishwasher.

Natursutten Pacifier $9.00
This pacifier is made from 100% pure, natural rubber from the tree Hevea brasiliensi. It is also something that comes in sizes so once again the baby guy should really work on size choices in future boxes if he is going to include items like this. This is for 0-6 months but it does come in other sizes.
Naturepedic Burpcloth 
I could not find a price for this as it seems it was made special for this box. Will be posting a pic later once I free space in my camera.


Loo hoo Dryer Balls $29 
My box was smashed so that was a little weird and my balls looked weird, I guess I got two gray balls and one white and that much be why they looks weird. I haven't tried these yet but they looks cool.

Bibby Bubby bib $6 
This is a cute little bandana bib. It has snaps on the sides and it will look cute on your little one. It is 100% cotton and hand made.

Nova Natural Pixie doll $10
Everyone got this doll in the orange color. This doll is tiny and good for small hands. It has a soft terry body and wool filling. Perfect for your little one.

Mother Love Diaper Rash and Thrush $9.95
This product is all natural and perfect for your baby. You can also use it for nursing. It is diaper safe for both disposable and cloth diapering and does not have to be washed off before nursing your baby. It has 0 toxins and is made with 96 % certified organic ingredients.
Fresh Wave Crystal Gel $9.99 
This gel has natural odor eliminating crystals that work 24/7 to keep your home smelling fresh. It lasts 60 days and very easy to use, just take off the cover inside and replace the lid and you are ready to go.

Banner Toys Basic rattle $10
This rattle is organic and finished with a natural beeswax/flaxseed oil finish. It is smooth and safe for babies and makes a sound when they shake it. It is easy for baby to hold.
The total of this box without including the burp cloth comes to $143.94 so you do get your moneys worth if you baby is under 6 months. This box should have been stated for 6 months or under if we cannot choose sizes. It's great for older babies if you are allowed to pick. The pacifier is 0-6 and The applecheeks only goes up to 20 lbs and some people have big babies and others were encouraged to order for their older babies. What do you think of this months box. The Eco Box. Let me know in the comments below. And do you think the baby guy should let us choose sizes or state that the box is for younger babies instead of comments to people with 16-19 month old and encouraging them to buy it?

Toddler Tambourine from Hohner This tambourine is a great toy. My son already has one in yellow but I do not mind him having two since he loves it so much. It is great for learning how to play music or to tap around the house and it is super safe too with no sharp edges. I highly recommend this tambourine.
