This is a speaker, headset and speakerphone. My husband loves this thing. The speaker quality isn't the greatest, but C had a blast playing with it. He is taking this to work for our “conference calls”. My husband loves techie gadgets like this.
Ashton Says: “Talk about efficiency at its finest. This speaker, handset and speakerphone combination is a terrific triple threat.”
This is a deck of cards with tips on how to be a proper gentleman. You can learn to tie a proper Windsor knot, or the proper way to taste whiskey. C also loved this and has been reading the cards all evening.
Ashton Says “Halloween is a month for disguises. Use these cards to help master yours”.
C wears jeans and a t shirt to work, so he won't use this much. It is a very nice pocket square though. This may be a gift for a trendy relative.
Ashton Says “This pocket square adds the perfect hint of Halloween flair”.

I am always excited to get Bluum. Bluum is $24.95 a month and each month, you get an assortment of goodies from lotions to toys and books for your child. Bluum curates each box by ages. Each theme is the same every month for every age, but the products within each box are different from month to month and from box to box. Bluum can be a bit different but I always like my boxes. I have heard they can be hard to cancel, so sign up with a re-loadable prepaid card.
First Look
Generally items don't fit the themes, but I was surprised by all the colorful items in the box.
Information Card
Bluum sends an information card with each month's theme. The back has more detailed information about your child during that month. The list of items in the box is emailed once your box is delivered.
I received another Early Lingo in my Stork Stack box. I like that this is part 1 of the series. I am still not crazy about having a dvd for my 20 month old. I will let my 4 year old watch this. It is always good to teach children another language.
This is Eczema & Sensitive Skin Formula. I am really excited to try this for T. He has eczema and I hope this can help. This has vitamin A, canendula, aloe vera, chamomile
I love Melissa and Doug and we don't have this toy. This is a fun toy, as you can put the rings in any order. T really likes this and has been playing with it, ever since he got it.
Luna Bar $2.00
I dislike Luna bars and carrot cake. I will just say yuck and move on.
This bib is made with organic cotton and non gmo soy fibers. This is really soft. I will probably save this for a baby shower. T doesn't use bibs unless it is mealtime, and then we use easy clean ones.
The Whole Box
Final Thought: I thought this box was really good. There were 6 items total in my box. I dislike the Luna bar, but it's only $2.00 of the total value. The total value of the box is $61.21. That is a really good value for a $25.00 box. My favorite items are the book, ring stack and the lotion, that is $32.92 right there! If you are interested in trying Bluum, click HERE.

The Box
The box is cute and I like the decorative tape
First Look
Information List
The information list was very detailed and decorative. Vermont Snacks gave a list of each product and the background to that product.
This is a really tasty chewy bar. It was a bit crumbly but had a really great flavor. The company was founded by a mother of a little boy with a peanut allergy. Their entire line of food is made free of peanuts and all tree nuts. As a mother of a little boy with a peanut allergy, I love what this company is doing.
The beef in this was raised without antibiotics. This is flavored with sweet molasses and spicy peppers. I hate beef jerky and similar items, but I liked this. My husband and 4 year old son also really liked this.
This is organic and natural applesauce from Vermont farmers. My boys love applesauce and they ate this right up. I wish there was more!
The Whole Box
Final Thought: The total value for the box was $7.74. I was disappointed by the value of the box. I love the idea of the box and enjoyed the products in it. I was hoping for a few more products in the box. I hope to see more value in the future boxes and I am excited to see future boxes from this company.

First Look
I loved my first look. The puppy punch out are adorable and I loved the sticker with Oliver's name on it.
Personalized Sticker
I love Oliver's name on the sticker. It was printed on!
Oliver loves feathers and loves batting at this toy. It also comes with an extra feather, when you cat eats the first one. The metal part has a screw closure. You can adjust the opening to whatever distance you want.
Oliver really likes these treats, and they don't upset his tummy. These are soft chews with USDA salmon. They also have cranberries, which help support urinary tract health. This is very important in senior male cats.
This has a light weight metal cord, instead of a clothe sting. There is also a little mouse at the end of the cord. Oliver loved this the most. He loves to jump for the toy.
Fleece Blanket
Dr Deanna O'Neil's aunt made these for customers of Dr Dr's Pet Packages. If you get a 3 month subscription or more to the Health package, you will get one free in your box. These are really soft. May Oliver will stop trying to sleep on my cover now.
Whole Box

Playing with the string
Oliver loved this toy. I tried to get a picture of him jumping for it, but he was too fast.
Final Thought: The total value of this box was $26.54. While this is a little lower than the $29.00 price, I like the each of the products was pricked out by a veterinarian, especially for Oliver. Knowing Oliver is getting safe items, is priceless for for me. I love the care and attention to detail, that Dr D's Pet Packages put in their boxes. I love that they personalized the information card and box sticker with Oliver's name. If you are interested in buy Dr'D's Pet Packages, go to http://drdspetpackages.com/

This is packed with aloe vera, cucumber, chamomile, marshmallow and tea plan botanical extracts. These are also oil free. I love facial cleansing clothes. While I have a full nightly skincare routine, after a long day, sometimes I just use a cleansing wipe and sleep. These are perfect for a long weekend away.
I love glitter polish. I am not sure how old, is too old for glitter polish, but I don't feel I am there yet. This is a nice clear glitter and perfect for layering over a bold color.
This lip pencil is made with cocoa and shea butter. It goes on super smooth and made my lips look bigger! I normally would not spend $20.00 on a lip liner, but it is a pretty great beauty product. It even has a build in sharpener on the lid. I am always loosing my sharpeners.
