Citrus Lane July 2013 box review - 14 month old boy

The time has come, our last Citrus Lane box arrived and it did not disappoint. Little Man knows exactly what this box is all about and was anxious to open it and find out what surprises he'd find inside. 
Unfortunately, his wrench didn't open the box. 
Wrapped beautifully as usual!! Citrus Lane does a great job with packaging every month. 
A full box of goodies!!
The first item was a sumo snack stacker from zo li. While we have received two other snack containers during our subscription, I was really glad to see this one. Since Little Man is a toddler, our other snack containers are getting too small to carry enough for him, but this new container holds THREE cups of food!! It is pretty large but can be hung on the outside of a diaper bag or a stroller, so no need to take up precious bag space!  Its free from all the bad things (BPA, phaletes, etc.) Love it!!

Ella's Kitchen is a great brand. They make wholesome and yummy for your toddler (or baby) foods. Little Man has enjoyed their products in the past and I'm sure he will love these healthy cookies too....Although maybe later since he doesnt quite have enough teeth for cookies just yet.

I was teeny bit disappointed in this box item. A me4kidz Cool It Buddy instant cool pack is a great idea, but not really something I would have bought for our use. It was described by Citrus Lane as being a great item for your diaper bag for boo-boos on the go. 
Melissa and Doug has become a huge household name. I am not as big a fan. We have a few of their toys and I'm disappointed to say they were both made in China. The farm puzzle we received is really cute but Little Man is a little too young for it. Buy it here: http://m.melissaanddoug.com/farm-peg-learning-puzzle

The final box item looks really fun and while I'm usually displeased with coupon codes as items, I'm really excited about this one. Postagram is an app that allows you to create and send postcards from your phone!  The postcard includes pictures which can be removed and kept by their recipients!  Since all of our family and friends live far away, we can't wait to use this coupon!!

This was a fabulous end to our 9 month 
Citrus Lane membership and we are hoping Citrus Lane will try to lure us 
into renewing our membership.
