Popsugar Must Have Box January 2014 and Discount

I am always glad to see the Popsugar Must Have Box on my doorstep. I always want to go spoiler free, but I am never strong enough to resist looking.  This month has been very slow for boxes, and Popsugar was one of the first ones this month.  Popsugar Must Have box is $39.99 a month, but you can use the code REFER5 to save $5.00 on your first month. Note: To connect to the website to buy each product, just click on the picture. Popsugar always ships in the same pink and white box (unless it is a special edition box) I love Popsugar’s tissue paper!  It is so bright and cheery.

Austin Lloyd 2-3 year old January 2014 Review

I loved my first Austin Lloyd box, so I signed up for a subscription.  You can read my first review HERE.  The toys are bpa and phthalate free and are very unique.  While I do shop at chain stores for toys, I love that Austin Lloyd includes unique toys, that are hard to find.  You will never get toys with batteries with Austin Lloyd.  The toys are also chosen to improve fine motor and cognitive skills.  Each box is designed for the play level of the child.  Austin Lloyd has a breakdown of child development on their website.  You choose the play level that fits best for you child.  Austin Lloyd has boxes from birth to age 3.    The box is $49.99 a month, but you can choose to go every other month too.  Austin Lloyd also has a donation feature.  Once you are done with the toys, and are ready to get rid of them, Austin Lloyd will send you a prepaid shipping label.  You mail the toys back, and they will donate them to their partnering charities. Austin Lloyd has the cutest boxes and packaging of any child/baby box.  Austin Lloyd really has attention to detail, from the cute stork sticker, to the drawings on the box. When you open the box, there is a bow with a personalized tag (with your child’s name), and an envelope with all the toys in the box.
