Thank you to Citrus Lane for providing me with this opportunity to review a Citrus Lane gift box. While this post is sponsored, the opinions expressed here are completely my own.
When I was first contacted about reviewing a fah-bulous Citrus Lane gift box, it was described to me as a "a jelly-of-the-month club, except with baby products!" I mean, I'm all for delicious jellies arriving in the mail every month, but baby products? Awesome and amazing age-appropriate, brand-name baby products? Um, of course I'd love to participate. And loyals? I am so glad that I did. Here's why...
Hands down, I've now found my new "go-to" Congratulations! gift for all of my new-mom and seasoned-mom friends.
Citrus Lane describes themselves as, "fresh finds. parent tips. delivered monthly." More than that though, "Citrus Lane is all about introducing parents to the baby products recommended most by real moms and dads. We fill our monthly boxes with 4 or 5 baby products along with helpful parenting tips and tricks. Each box is tailored specifically to your child's age and stage, from newborn up to 18 months. Every month you'll receive up to $50 in retail value, so it's always a great deal."
I received the Indoor & Outdoor Play box and let me just say, I was blown away by both the packaging as well as the products inside.
Included in my box was the following:
1. Episencial Sunny Sunscreen - I've heard nothing but great things about this sunscreen brand and I'm excited to add it to our rotation! We all know how sensitive my little towhead is to the sun!
2. iPlay Babywear Sun Protection Brim Hat - I've expressed my love for iPlay swimwear countless times on this blog. I was floored to see a wide-brim sun hat peeking out at me behind the packing!
3. Kid O Stack and Nest Cups - C loves these stacking cups so much we already misplaced one of them. He does nothing but carry them all around the house, stopping to stack and nest them in each room. They're also the perfect entertainer for those few minutes harnessed in the high chair waiting for a meal!
4. Dapple Toy Wipes - A welcome addition to our diaper bag! Perfect for doctor's offices and play dates!
5. Bumble Bar - a sesame slice of Gluten-free heaven. Seriously? I want another one.
What an amazingly convenient and creative way to stay in tune with your child's monthly development using age appropriate toys and other great products. Another one of my favorite things about the included insert is that it offers up great tips for activities you can engage your child in each month as well as things to be on the lookout for in the coming weeks!
Not only can you subscribe monthly or annually to Citrus Lane to receive your custom gift box, but you can also gift a subscription to family and friends! Like I said, this has absolutely become my "go-to" gift for all of my expecting friends!
I mean, have you seen their Deluxe Shower Gift Box? Dare I say it? It kind of makes me want to have another baby...
I'm so excited to be able to offer YOU, one of my lucky Loyals, the chance to win your own Indoor & Outdoor Play box.

This looks like a lot of fun! Our favorite activity is any sort of water play. Be it in the pool, the sprinkler, just turning the hose on and splashing in the water. We love it! So sad it's going to be too cold to be wet before too long!!
ReplyDeleteHow cute is this!? Our favorite outdoor play activity, at this point in E's life, would probably be the pool this past summer. I have a little fishy on my hands. :)

ReplyDeleteelissapugh at gmail.com
Outdoor play that is just so much fun is putting on the pants and crawling all over the grass. This would be awesome
ReplyDeleteRight now our favorite outdoor activity is just going for walks. My daughter is still young (3 months) so just looking at trees from her soft carrier is enough entertainment!
ReplyDeleteMy little guy is still too young for "outdoor play", but he loves to sit outside and watch cars drive by. He gets excited from his toes to his fingers every time one drives by!
ReplyDeleteMy son and I love to go to the park and playground! : )

ReplyDeleteOur favorite outdoor activity is a family walk.
ReplyDeleteI love Citrus Lane!
My favorite is definitely a walk around the neighborhood.
ReplyDeleteFull disclosure: not a mommy- though I know a few expectants who would love this!!! Do I still get to answer the outdoor play question?! Because it's definitely doing flips backwards off the swings!! : )
ReplyDeleteOur favorite outdoor activity? Water...water...and more water! (Not sure what we will do when it gets too cold for so much water!)
ReplyDeleteThe swings and the baby pool :) Oh and riding the trike outside watching the big kids play...so I can't pick just one ;)
ReplyDeleteMy son is definitely a water baby, so we spend as much time as possible at the pool or beach!

Kate is a huge fan of the park - specifically the swings! Can't wait until we can go outside again!
ReplyDeleteHer favorite "special" outdoor activity is the beach. Girlfriend loves the sand and waves!
How neat is this!?! Natalie is a pool girl for sure. Loves the water!
ReplyDeleteMy boys and I love playing outside. My boys have a great imagination so they are usually saving me from the mean dragon (daddy) and I am the princess :) Nice to be the only girl in the house!
ReplyDeleteThis looks great! My favorite activity (outside) is going with my family to the park when the weather finally cools off. Its a great way for my very active toddler to blow off some steam!
ReplyDeleteBaseball is of course my answer to this but I only love to watch not participate!
ReplyDeleteI would love to win this and gift it to a friend with children.
Thanks AP!

My favorite outdoor activity is walk the doggies- because my baby boy isnt here yet :) I'm due in 6 days and Im sure it wont be long until we have a lot of outdoor favorites!
ReplyDeleteOwen and I like mooning the neighbors when we're outside.
ReplyDeleteJust kidding...
We like the baby pool :)
Very cool gift idea!
Dannielle
Manning LOVES sitting on our front porch swing with me.
ReplyDeleteWell A's still a little too small for true "outdoor play", but she'll sit in the grass and play with dirt/sticks/grass for hours on end if I would let her! She loves it!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great idea!! Ok, favorite outdoor activities - eating mulch, falling on concrete, eating sand, trying to eat rocks... Oh wait is that not what you meant?
ReplyDeleteWe love to go to the park and swing, go down the slides and those bouncey things that look like animals - Trey loves those too!! :)
Great giveaway chica! We would die over the outdoor box too!!
I live in the sunshine state...aka the hot & humid state. Therefore, our favorite outdoor activity would have to be anything with water...pool, splash parks, water parks...you get the drift.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great gift! Our favorite thing to do is walk around the block. I take the 4 month old in his stroller, and my 21 month takes her "baby" in her stroller and away we go!
ReplyDeleteThis giveaway is fantastic! My favorite outdoor play for me would involve a float in the pool and a margarita... but with little ones it would definitely be playing on the swings :)
ReplyDeleteps-stephaniemariekrueger@gmail.com
Our favorite outdoor activity of the moment is drawing with our sidewalk chalk and playing on the golf course.
ReplyDeleteGreat give away!
We love swinging outside at my Parent's house on their (baby) tree swing.
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome company!!
