Bump Boxes May 2020 Review
Each box comes with an info card detailing the items included and expressing the overall theme of the current month's box; this month's theme is "Get Ready for the Big Day!" They also included a discount card to Mixbook.com this month!
Bump Boxes "Keeper of Snacks" Tote Bag - Listed Value $14.99
Since I am a very stubborn and devoted recyclist, I always refuse plastic bags in every store I visit. I always have several reusable bags and totes at the ready, which means I have more than plenty to go around. A bag like this feels more like an extra in a subscription rather than a featured item, but I do like the message and having an extra bag to hoard is never a bad thing. That being said, I think the listed price is inflated, especially since I can get a Baggu reusable bag in a much more exciting and sturdy style with the same size.
BumpLife Inhale Exhale Socks - Retail Value $13.99
I've never been disappointed by receiving a pair of cute socks in a sub! This bright pair has a nonslip message on the bottom reading "inhale" on one and "exhale" on the other. I love the design, and they are perfect for keeping your tootsies warm. It is a valuable message, and it is also essential to have a nonslip grip, especially now when I am constantly chasing my baby around on our hardwood floors.
Mavi Bands Headband - Listed Value $14.99
This nonslip headband is very comfortable. I didn't have to adjust this at all, even after a cozy nap on the couch! The adjustable elastic back helps to make it the perfect fit every time you wear it, and it is also a very cute design.
Blum Naturals Oil Absorbing Facial Tissues, 50 sheets - Retail Value $2.99, Listed Value $6.00
For as long as I can remember, my face has been Sahara dry, so I've never needed to use any oily skin products. I will happily pass these along to a friend since this packaging is very giftable. This package contains 50 sheets to help soak up excess oil and shine from your T-zone.
EcoNursingPads Organic Bamboo Nursing Pads - Listed Value $11.99
Washable nursing pads were a lifesaver when starting out on my breastfeeding journey, and they save so much waste! I pull them out every now and then when I know I won't have access to my pump, and I usually have a pair on while sleeping. They aren't ideal if you're wearing something form-fitting since they slide around and bunch up if you're moving around a lot, but I like wearing them around the house. These pads are made from organic bamboo, and this set contains three colors and sizes. This set also comes with a laundry bag to wash them in and a separate care sheet and message from the small family-owned company.
Verdict: Each item featured in this month's Bump Boxes is still as useful today as when I was pregnant with Ronan almost 8 months ago. I like that there were a lot of wearable items this month, but I missed out on enjoying the skincare/body care item since I don't have oily skin. This month's box has a value of $58.95; that isn't a terrible value for a box that costs $39.99, but I would have liked to see another item or two to offset the price even more. I found that each product seemed a little more pricey than I would have thought, giving the box a higher value. For example, the $15 tote bag and $15 headband: these are items I wouldn't pay more than $5 for, so the cost doesn't quite make this box worth it to me for this month.
