Elizabeth's first box came in November.
I believe she was confused. She's never opened a package we've received in the mail before.
What was inside?!
A heavy, sturdy BPA-free child's zoo plate by Skip Hop. I was glad about this, because since we've lived in our current home I cannot use the silver-lined plates I used with the boys, because the hydrogen sulfide gas in the water ruins them. Back when I still went to Wal-Mart every once in awhile, I bought plastic (which I despise!) child plates, but I prefer wood or metal. This plate is some sort of plastic, but it's obviously better than the other ones, on which I absolutely do not put anything hot (they are BPA-free, too, but whatever else they have is certainly more leachable than with this plate). And this is just plain cute!
Stock Pot & Utensils by Green Toys. Again, I despise plastic and keep plastic toys for the kids to a minimum (and mostly they're gifts from others), but at least this company Green Toys uses recycled plastic, which supports recycling, which is something we also actively support and practice.
Elizabeth absolutely loves taking little pots out of my kitchen cabinet and grabbing utensils to play, so this was a good toy for her. She (and her sister) like it quite a bit.
Oh, was I ever thrilled to get these Bumkins reusable snack bags! I take snacks for the girls when we're on the go, especially for when they sit through church service. I hate using plastic baggies, and bowls are bulky, plus I only own one plastic one, and glass is obviously at high-risk of being broken by young children. Wonderful product! And the girls love the cute designs.
Pūr-lisse "lip comfort." I have so far been pleased with this product. It's that time of year when our lips get extra dry, so this was much appreciated. I keep it in my little zipper pocket in my purse. I also love the little bag in which it came. :-)
Organicasaurus baked organic corn snack. Well, if I remember correctly, I think maybe all these were eaten (Elizabeth got most of them, but all the kids and I tried one), but I personally thought it tasted wretched. This was the only thing with which I was not impressed, and I'm not sure whether Elizabeth cared much for them, either.
The box also included four sets of address labels and free shipping from Tiny Prints, but it required a $99 minimum purchase that I don't intend to make. I've got such an abundance of nice free labels as it is, from all the organizations that I support or have supported, etc., and I'm more than pleased with Shutterfly.
I price-checked everything, and NOT including the corn snack, nor the labels, this stuff was worth $42+.
I was pleased and look forward to next month's surprise!
