Bluum May 2013 Cover Up and Balancing Act.
This is my second month with Bluum. I really enjoyed my first box and decided to also get a box for my 3 year old. My 3 year old is almost 4, so I knew going in I might get some things that are too young for him. Bluum sends out boxes every month with a theme according to the child's age. It is for 0-3 and you get 4-5 items every month.
This month, Bluum had a huge influx of customers from a Plum District deal (now expired) and they sent out their boxes a week late. Their were several unhappy customers and Bluum finally released a statement about the late boxes. While I admit, their customer service needs improving, I really do love the boxes.
I received two boxes this month: 15 month old Balancing Act and 3 year old Cover Up

 |
| Reusable sandwich wrapper (or other foods) by Kids Konserve (Bluum's Price: $4.50 Amazon price $5.00) I love this product and will use this. I like the idea of re-using bags. |
 |
| How do I feel set of 10 books (Bluum's Price: $ 10.00, Amazon Price: 9.99). I love books and any box that comes with books will make me happy. There are 10 books and each talk about a feeling I love that there is a case for them, so I won't have them scattered everywhere The book are also a very thick board book (Perfect for a teething toddler) |

| Melissa and Doug Butterfly Stacker (Bluum's Price: $10.00, Amazon price $11.99) I love Melissa and Doug. We have many of their toys, but not this one!
Final Value: Bluum Prices: $39.00, Amazon's prices $39.98 |
Cover Up: 3 Year old Boy

| Whole box |
 |
| Cover Up theme card, coupon for $15.00 off a purchase at Chromatic Gallerie, and a card from Pocket People (free shipping with a $50.00 purchase) |
 |
| Melissa and Doug Cinco Starfish Hat (Bluum's Price $9.00, Amazon Price: $12.49) This is a cute hat that will protect my fair skinned little boy from the sun My son loves this |
 |
| Melissa and Doug Cinco Starfish Flip-Up Sunglasses (Bluum's Price: 7.00, Amazon Price: 7.97) My son loves sunglasses and he loved this so much, he wanted to wear them in the tub |
 |
| Pocket People Ball (Bluum's Price: $10.00) This is made by Pocket People, which it a new company based on my research. This was a gift for mom but I gave it to my son. He loves it. |
 |
| BabyGanics Cover Up Kisses Lip Balm and Sunscreen in Apple Berry (Bluum's Price: 3.99, Amazon Price: $4.99) This goes on clear and it perfect for your little one's lips |
 |
| Pocket People Sam (Bluum's Price: $10.00) I was shocked by the price when I first saw it. The doll is handmade and beautifully crafted. Each doll has a little personality. Everyone thinks Sam is shy but is is actually quite bold and brave. I originally thought this was for my son but my email said it was for the mom. I contacted Bluum for more information. This is a collectible doll for mom. I already gave it to my son, so it is sitting on a shelf in his room. You can read more about the doll HERE |
 |
| Two 7th Heaven masks. These are one time use samples, therefore I am giving them a value of $0, as you can request free samples from companies. (Bluum's Price: $2.99) |
 |
| Luna bar (Bluum's Price $2.00) I am not a fan of Luna bars, so my husband is getting this). |
Final value Bluum's Prices: $37.98. Amazon's prices (and other websites)$38.40)
Final Thoughts: I really like both of my boxes this month. I was disappointed in the doll, but both boxes were worth well over the $24.95 I paid. I could remove the doll from my box and it would still be worth over $24.95. I am going to continue my 15 month old's subscription. I canceled my 3 year old subscription as he is turning 4 and needs a older box.

I want to try this but the boxes I’ve seen are so hit and miss and we can only afford one box a month and we’ve never really had any major issues with citrus lane… hopefully in the future we can add another box or two
