Blumm Box- A Review

So we arrived home a found our Blumm box had arrived (Fedex didn't have it coming until Tuesday!) so I was pleasantly surprised after reading some of the reviews about how late they can be. It's got to be hard in some ways to put together a box aimed at a certain age when a) you have a certain number of products for each age range and b) people start and stop ordering them all over the place. But we decided to try the 50% off coupon and here's what we think!

The Bug was not at all interested in the box but got a little more interested as we opened it...

I somewhat feel like the "7 month box" page is a waste. It has no information on it other than the referral which is all over the internet (post in the comments for 50% off a trial if you wish!)

The first thing the Bug pulled out was a pouch (he's obsessed) which is basmati rice, coconut milk, and carrot blend from Happy Baby. He had just eaten lunch so we haven't tried yet. He's typically happier with sweet pouches but will eat vegetables and real food without it being sweet (I actually prefer it this way!)

The Bug was way more interested in the crinkle paper filling the box...

Next he pulled out a teether ball. He hasn't officially started teething but he definitely likes to chew on things and his squeaky elephant is a favorite so he was pretty interested once he realized that is squeaked!

So these are samples (I thought it said full size items somewhere but whatever) and while they're cool. I'm not in the habit of hand washing clothes or honestly his dishes since we got a new dishwasher. This is the "for mom" part and honestly, I'd prefer they give us just things for the Bug if this is the type of stuff I get...

He also got a bath toy which is pretty cool- he is a huge bath lover so it will get used! and a pack of black and white picture cards. He has the pet ones from a friend and these are more exotic animals so it's nice to add to the set!

Here's a picture of all that was in the box. Overall, not bad BUT there is no way I'm going to continue for $30/month (or less if you sign up for more than 1 month) because we've got enough of this type of thing and the Bug's favorite toys are sensory bottles (I'll post about those soon!)

I will say, the Bug was happy to play with the crinkle paper they used to pad the things in the box. He would have continued had I let him...
