bluum – February 2016

I love this. NYC was my backyard when I was wee (code for saying I am a Jersey girl). I am keeping this outer box (which is smaller compared to the huge box I received last month.

What You’re Getting:

Personalized Monthly Boxes For Moms & Babies (up to preschool level). You can either let (1) Bluum select your items, (2) let Bluum know your preferences and Bluum will select your items based on your preferences, or (3) customize your box by choosing your own items. I choose to customize my items. If I recall correctly, there is a 30 minute count-down timer and you can select from different categories that are in your chosen (Bluum cutely calls “Describe the Cuteness”!)’s age group. Once you select one item, then all categories reshuffle. At this time with customization, you can only choose four items but apparently a fifth item/option may be available in the future because there is an icon depicting a fifth slot.

Kick Back and Get Comfortable:

Ok so I have many reasons why I got Bluum. First, I used a code for a year subscription. Second, same I did with Citrus Lane; I used most of the higher priced items as presents and the rest as a surprise gifts or presents for my Pnut people (also know as my little ones).

Third, the Sugar Bug Doctor (or for normals the Dentist) gave Pipsqueak a present, a fairy door in where fairies will come by and check on her and her sisters and occasionally give gifts for good behavior. And of course the door will allow the tooth fairy to come in when she starts losing her baby teeth which is why the Sugar Bug Doctor gave it to her. There are many other colors for of this fairy door but Pipsqueak would have chosen this purple glitter door in a heartbeat!

So here is said fairy door bought from my beloved Amazon:

I want to say this for the person whose idea was to have a random red heart in a sea of white hearts I GET YOU (and you deserve a raise).

Marketing: A quote “Children need your presence more than your presents”.

Legal [in fine print because nothing less would give any Legal Department justice]: Please, never leave box and its contents unattended with children, and be sure to enjoy each product according to its intended use.

Oh how sweet when you have the legal department translating for the marketing department. Synergy.

P’kolino Hexagon Colored Pencils – 16 colors

Gorgeous colored pencils from Europe without the wood coating. Europeans made this FOR MY PEOPLE. I am conflicted whether I should gift this or not.

I.must.resist.

Melissa and Doug Puffy Sticker – Farm

This is a beautiful puffy sticker folder. This had to go to Pipsqueak for a surprise treat! She has realized that when Squeak, her little pint-sized dictator sister is happy, everyone is happy. Pipsqueak also has matured to the point where she knows how to choose her battles for the most part with Squeak (e.g., when Squeak does not leave the bathroom on request or gets into the toilet you catch the drift).

When you are wee, you either BYOB(ottle) or BYOB(aby)!

Pipsqueak’s got moves like momma!

My firstborn is growing.

Sniff.

Pipsqueak says “look the bunnies are nuzzling!”

Heart melts.

Q’s Race to the Top – On the Go Game

Q’s Race to the Top – On the Go Game

This may likely be in the gift stash although I am interested in it for my Pnut people. I realize that my gift stash has tons of girl gifts but not that many boy and/or gender neutral. Its supposed to be good for in the car, general waiting situations, and in restaurants… and the reviews are sweet (from the mouths of babes)…

Who am I kidding. This gift is for my Pnut people!

I am laughing at myself if whomever I give this to mother’s reads this and knows its a sweet gift but the reason why I am gifting it is not because it has parts not suited for ages under three (Squeak is very good at only eating noms) but the parts can be easily misplaced (the Pnut family are known as squirrels). It is pretty … maybe it will be a gift from the fairies but for now its going to the gift stash.

But it would be a nice travel toy… but that was what Q’s Race to the Top – On the Go Game was for…

I think I am trying to convince myself to raid the intended gift pile!

Imagine I Can – Stained Glass Stick

This will be going to the gift pile. I have some issues with keeping colors between the lines in some projects that require adult assistance (an unrealistic expectation at my Pnut people’s age range and I do adore scrawling on their coloring books) and this would drive me batty. I mean sometimes I can’t keep colors between the lines either. Batter-batter-swinnnng-batter-batter…. I digress.

No brainer. Practicality/Sanity rules. Gift pile it stays.

Bluum – February 2016 Up Close and Personal

Verdict: This month was mostly intended for the gift pile but I see myself slowing sneaking stuff out for my wee ones! I love love love bluum because I can customize from their selections! I wish we would have a subscription box like that (the only known one is the BB pick your box in person in SoHo NYC)!

Happiness and a coupon code is PRICELESS!

    I have been thinking of sending this to the grand princess…. I already send her the green Craft kids and she has a blast with it…I do like you can pick too…

      This is EXACTLY why I love bluum! There is no room for disappointment you can make the selections each month. There is a point for review system like BB too. When I get my box I do the reviews then select next month’s box!

      BTW I love the term “grand princess”!
