Citrus Lane - Which age?

ramfan05 · September 2014

I just put this in the randoms thread, but decided to start a new thread thinking I might get more answers. I'm going to try Citrus Lane, but I can't decide which age to put in, LO's or DS's (4). Anyone with older kids or who has maybe tried both have any words of wisdom? I'm leaning towards doing it for the baby.

Can you look up box reviews for older kids? See what your 4yo would get? Your 4yo would probably get excited for mail etc where LO doesn't really get it.

I got a box for my almost-3 year old, and it had some really cute stuff in it. I am considering using the free code for a box for the baby, though. So I'm basically no help.

This was my box, btw. There's a book with CD, a Melissa and Doug clock toy, a bath puzzle, and a snack sample.

Is there a way you could alternate each month?

I don't know, but that would be cool.

Thanks for the feedback, ladies! I hadn't thought about being able to pass down the things from DS! Hmm...off to read some reviews!

You have to pick one age over the other - we chose DS1 since DS2 will play with anything, and I like getting new ideas for toys for DS1. I've gotten a few higher-level puzzles that I wouldn't have thought to buy a 2yr-old yet, but they're great.

We did get a code for a free box this month, so I'll get one for DS2, also, but I won't continue his subscription.

ETA: you can get both kids, but can't just alternate, I believe.

@shellbell3845, thanks for the suggestion to look up reviews! I didn't even realize that people made youtube videos for opening their Citrus Lane boxes! Definitely going with the 4 year old box, and we'll call it a box for both of them so DS doesn't think the toys are just for him. That way, they can share and we can reuse the toys like others pointed out. Thanks for the opinions, ladies!

Are these boxes actually a good deal?

Maybe we should set up a system where we just send each other mail, then we still get a surprise, but it's not expensive

Haha! That would definitely be cheaper! I'm only doing it because I got a code for a free one. I'd never pay the full price for one. I know a few people have been able to get one for $7 when they go to cancel, so when I cancel next month if they give me a good deal like that I'll do another month. Definitely not worth $29 a month, though!

@MissDemeanor‌ I like that idea! Not every month, but maybe for Christmas.
Secret Santas for the babies!!
Id so be in for that!

It would be fun, but we'd have to be super careful because of IRL addresses, etc. obviously.
