I got got the opportunity to review Bestowed in October, and I really loved the box. You can read my review for October, HERE. I loved their box in October and I was very excited when they asked me to review a box for November. Bestowed was founded by Heather Bauer, a nationally recognized nutrition expert. She has written two top selling books and formed Nu-Train, a diet and weight loss center.
The Box
First Look
Information Guide
Bestowed has a great information guide. They send an actual booklet full of information about each product. This is one of the most thorough information cards/booklets I have seen in the subscription box business. Bestowed also gives you tips about each product and where to buy it.
These are gluten free and have a mix quinona, sesame seeds and amaranth in them. They go great with salsa. There is also no sugar or preservatives. You can find these at Cosco or Walmart. These crackers were so yummy and I liked them right out of the bag.
This is natural and gluten free. C and I don't like coconut, but I had C try this (I didn't tell him what it was). C actually liked this. This is not only tasty, but loaded with electrolytes and potassium. This can be found at Kroger, Publix, Safeway, Target, and Walmart.
Green Tea has tons of antioxidants and cancer fighting polyphenols. Eating green tea leaves has 100 times more antioxidants than brewed green tea. I don't drink green tea, but I would be willing to try it on my food.
Chocolate Crisp is a creamy blend of rich cocoa, with hints of cherry, black currant and vanilla. These are 30 calories each and have zero preservatives, gluten free and no gmos. You freeze these and then enjoy them as a snack.
This has 20 grams of protein and 17 grams of fiber. This is low carb, gluten free and high in fiber. Anytime you combine chocolate and peanut butter, it has to be good.
This is loaded with Omega 3s, fiber and mangesium. This can be paired with smoothies, salads, oatmeal, and baked goods. I like how these enable you to add some nutrition to your food without much effort. These can be found at Kroger and Whole Foods.
This are honey made into sugar crystals. You don't have the mess with liquid honey and still get the great sweetness flavor. This can be found at Whole Foods.
This is a dark chocolate and ginseng endurance snacks and only has 80 calories and piece. You can eat this before a workout to improve stamina.
The Whole Box
Final Thought: The total value for this box was $33.97. I really like Bestowed. They include so many great tasting foods, that are also healthy. Every box is packed with food and also a great value. You can try Bestowed for only $10.00, just use the code HELLOTEN105. This code expires 11/30.

Citrus Lane sends 4-5 products for children from newborn to age five. Citrus Lane sends, toys, snacks, bath products, lotion and more. Subscriptions are $25.00 a month and there are discounts for longer subscriptions. T's box came a bit late this month, but I was still surprised by what was inside.
The Box
First Look
Full Contents
Citrus Lane includes a full list of all the box contents with websites and pictures. Another detail I love, is the letters at the top. You can cut them out, and help teach your child the alphabet.
I like that these are non-gmo and gluten free. It is also the only cheese corn puff that is USDA certified organic. I am going to see if T likes these and if he doesn't, I know L will.
Citrus Lane partnered with Green Toys to make smaller bundles of their toys. T loves this pot and utensils and has been playing with them everyday, since we got the box.
These are made from the same waterproof material as the bibs. They are dishwasher safe and machine washable. They are great for the diaper bag. I like that there is two, so one can be washing and I still have a spare. T eats so much food, these will come in handy!
This is made with Mango Butter, Shea Butter, Rice Bran Oil, Jojoba Oil and Vitamin E to moisturize and give you young, supple lips. I am not a fan of mom gifts normally, but this one rocks. I love lip products.
Tiny Prints Free Address Labels/Shipping w/$99 Order
You can get 4 sets of address labels and free shipping with a $99.00 order. I got two of these, so I know at least one won't be used.
The Whole Box
Final Thought: The total value for this month was $30.39. It isn't the highest valued box that T has received, but we loved it. T absolutely loves the Green Toys Pot and Utensils. He has carted those around the house every day. The plate is so cute and the snacks bags are being used in his diaper bag now. The lip treatment was an extra special treat. Those cheese snacks will also be eaten by someone. Citrus Lane always delivers great products, and our family will continue our subscription for a long time to come.

There are also two great deals going on.

I was really excited to get my son's first Silly Rhino Box. Silly Rhino is a new subscription box for children 0-4. Silly Rhino is $35.99 month to month, and discounts for longer subscriptions are available. Each month your child will get 4-5 environmentally friendly safe toys, personal care products, gear and accessories for your child. The owner of Silly Rhino is in a subscription box group with me, and I was very excited to see someone I knew, start their own box company.

At Silly Rhino, we try not to gender discriminate, so we concentrate on items that will work for both boys and girls, but that does not mean we would ever send pink bows to your manly little guy, promise.”

L loved this the most and stuck it in his pocket right away.
This elephant is a cute travel pillow with a 30″ by 40″ blanket inside. This can be used in a car, plane or just as a pillow at nap time. Health and Science Labs also donates a portion of their profits to the Defenders of Wildlife Organization. L thought the elephant was very cuddly.
The Blanket
The blanket is a nice pretty green color. It is tucked nicely in the back of the elephants head.
Weaving, fishing, and storytelling are all part of this spirited book that celebrates Native American traditions as it teaches young children to count from one to ten. Ideal for storytime or bedtime, and now perfectly sized for toddlers, Ten Little Rabbits is sure to leave children counting rabbits instead of sheep.
I like that this is a story that both my boys can share and enjoy. It is a sturdy board book for T and it has counting and cultural educational aspects for L.
The bubble bath has no parabens, no sulfates, and no dye. I was excited for the boys to try out the bubble bath. The boys have sensitive skin and I have to limit bubble baths, do to the ingredients in most bubble baths. Unfortunately, the bubble bath only created small suds in the water. L was a bit disappointed, but he liked playing with the foam bath puzzle. There were several different animals you could punch out of the foam and put together. It was a great for fine motor skill development. L made the lion and had fun playing with it in the bath tub.
The Whole Box
Final thought: This box had a retail value of $55.97. I paid $35.99 for the box, so I feel I got a good value for my money. L loved the wooden Rhino the best. He also has enjoyed reading the book, sleeping with the pillow and playing with the bath puzzle. I wish the bubble bath would have worked better, but it isn't a big deal. I think Silly Rhino did a fantastic job with their fist box. What do you think? If you want to join Silly Rhino, click HERE and use the code the codeiheartrhino to save 10%.

This was a change this month. Usually, you get individual cards for each item with a quote from Ashton. This month, there is a fold out card and only one quote from Ashton. I like the new card layout, but I miss having a quote for every item.
This is designed to fit inside a men's jacket pocket. It has several slots for credit cards or identification. This is a really nice piece and perfect for C.
All Work and No Play Tablet Case by Gentlemen's Hardware
This box was very cute and I had to feature it. in my post.
All Work and No Play Tablet Case by Gentlemen's Hardware $50.00
Ashton says ” How we consume the internet and all thing digital is rapidly accelearating – mobility is key. I reach for my table every morning for my faily fose of news, and keep by my side to stay updated throughout the day. A functional case is a must when I'm on the go.”
C already has a tablet case, but it is larger and quite heavy. This is nice for times that C has his tablet at the office or on a business trip.
This is a travel case for use especially when you are flying. You can store snacks, travel cords, your phone and other travel necessities in it. The pouch is small enough to fit in the seat pocket in front of you. C probably wouldn't store it in the seat pocket though, I think he might forget it.
The Whole Box
Final Thought: The total value for this box is $108.00. C liked that everything in this box was useful to him, and not just fun. C liked the table case the best. I am a bit disappointed that there wasn't a quote by Ashton for the airplane mode bag and wallet. If you are interested in signing up for The Ashton Kutcher A+ Box or any Fancy box, click HERE.
