Bluum August Lil Artist

I was really excited to see what was in my Bluum box this month.  This was for T and was the theme Lil Artist (18 months).  Bluum curates their boxes by theme.  So every 18 month old will get Lil Artist, but not everyone will get the same things in their Lil Artist boxes.  I haven’t totally figured out their method yet, but I have only gotten 1 duplicate, and that was the fig bars this month.
