I decided to try Bluum after watching lots of videos on You Tube. Bluum is 34.99 a month. They are similar to Citrus Lane. I signed up my son who turned 13 months in April. I was sent the Movin and Shakin box for a 13 month old. I had heard some negative feedback about the company and I was planning to cancel when I got my box. After opening the box this month, I changed my mind. This box was packed full and well worth my money. Inside the box, Bluum includes a card with your child's age and a description about development. Once your box is delivered, you get an email from Bluum detailing the contents of your box, the value and a description of the items. You can also log onto your account and give feedback about the items.
Contents of the box:
April 2013 Box |

Mossworld Snack Trap Retail Value Bluum's Price: $5.00, Amazon: $4.99 |
I really like the snack trap. I have two I bought a Target a few years ago, but my 13 month old has trouble getting his hand in. The lid is much easier for little hands to reach inside.
Melissa and Doug Peek a Boo Panda Retail Value Bluum's Price: $7.99 Amazon: $8.43 |
My son loves this toy. It is wooden and the panda's arms clack to cover the bear's eyes. I love Melissa and Doug toys and would be quite happy to have one of their toys in every box.
Weleda Baby Calendula Baby Cream Retail Value: Bluum's Price $12.00, Amazon: $10.10 |
I had never heard of this product until I started researching subscription boxes. It is supposed to help with Ecsema and I am excited to try it on my son.
Baby Mum-Mum's in Apple Retail Value: Bluum's Price $3.19. Amazon doesn't sell this individually but it sells for $2.99 near me. |
My son likes Mum Mums and we will use these.
Real Moms Love to Eat Retail Value: Bluum's Price $15.00. Amazon's Price: $11.00 marked down to $6.00 |
This book looks interesting and I will read it.
There was also a Luna Bar (I ate it before taking a picture). I was peanut butter and chocolate. I had never had a Luna bar and was not a fan.
Retail Value: $2.00
Final Thought: I really liked my box. Bluum's total value on the box was $45.18. Amazon's prices put the total value as 34.51. I think I got a great value for my box as Amazon tends to undercut regular retailers and they had the value 10.00 over what I paid.
