The Little Book Club Closing

You may have read my past reviews on the Little Book Club.  I really liked their books, but ultimately canceled due to slow shipping times.
The following was emailed to customers today:

Friends,

From its inception, The Little Book Club has been a part-time labor of love for Sara and I. We started the company so our kids could both be exposed to great new books, and so that they could learn about the work that goes into starting a company.

However, its become clear to us that The Little Book Club has grown into something that needs more than part-time attention. Inventory issues (theft and supplier delays), shipping logistics, and 24 hour customer service are all things that have proven too much for our little company.

We've decided that closing down the company is the right thing to do for our family.

Over the next few weeks, final boxes will be sent out, refunds will be posted if you've been billed for the next month already, and accounts will be closed.

To be clear, no payment will go unaccounted for – you will either receive a box for the month, or a full refund in the very near future.

Starting this company has been a joy – we've met many wonderful people, and have been exposed to many wonderful children's books we never would have discovered otherwise.

Sara and I wanted to sincerely thank all of you for being members of The Little Book Club.
-Doug”

It is sad to see another subscription box go, especially one promoting books.  If you are looking for another book subscription box, Sproutkin has two different programs.

  • Infant/Toddler: (0-3 yrs) $24.99 month.  You get a theme for the month, plus 2-4 books (to keep) and an activity card.

 

 

  • Preschool (3-6 yrs) $24.99 for unlimited books to RENT,   You will get a theme for the month, plus 10 book and an activity card.  You must send back the preschool books.

Stitch Fix

After reading other blogs about this box, I decided to sign up for myself.  Stitch Fix is a subscription box that send 5 clothing items a month.  They send accessories, shirts, skirts, dresses, pants, jeans, etc.  You pay $20.00 for a stylist to pick out your items.  You try them on in your own home.  If you like one of the items, you can buy it, otherwise you send the rest of the clothes back.  It is free shipping both ways.  The average price of an item is $75.00.  If you decide to keep all 5 items, you get 25% off your total.  Your $20.00 also comes off any item you decide to buy.  You do risk loosing $20.00 if you don't like anything.  You fill out a style profile and you can link clothing boards on Pinterest to the site, so you stylist has even more information.

I have 2 little boys and rarely get to shop alone.  I don't have a strong fashion sense and wanted to try this.  I should get my first Stitch Fix next week!  Be sure to check back and see what I get.

If you are interested in signing up, you can do so HERE.  I couldn't find a coupon code to use when you sign up, but if someone signs up with your link, you get $25.00 to use toward your next Stitch Fix.

Bluum July Review Fine Dining and Invitation

I love getting Bluum.  It is always packed with great items.  I always use most all the items they send.  This month was Fine Dining for a 17 month old.  My son is actually 16 months old, I just aged him up a month.  This is the first month that all the items in the box went with the theme.  I actually don't really care about themes, but it was interesting that everything went together.

Naturebox July 2013

I really enjoy Naturebox.  Now that you can pick you own snacks, the excitement is gone, but I know I will love all the snacks I get.  Naturebox is 19.95 a month but if click HERE and use the code SHARE10, you will save $10.00 on your first box.  I was pleasantly surprise this month, because I got a bonus snack.

Little Spark Review 15-16 Months

I am disappointed that this is my last Little Spark box. Little Sparks ended their Beta (test run) and are working on their re-launch. You can read my post about their relaunch HERE. Little Spark sent my 15-16 month box to me for free since I had referred several people to them. This was very unexpected but appreciated.

Healthy Surprise and Promo Code

Healthy Surprise is a brand new healthy snack company.  Healthy Surprise sends a box full of healthy snacks a month.  All the foods in the box are Vegan, gluten free, soy free and all natural.  I don't eat as healthy as I should, but I am trying to make smarter choices.  I really enjoyed getting this box and having healthy snacks I can have on hand instead of grabbing something unhealthy.  I was really impressed with the presentation and packaging of the box.

Kiwi Crate July 2013 Wonders of Water.

My 4 year old L was so excited to get his Kiwi Crate today.  He saw the mail truck pull up to the house and he yelled “MY KIWI CRATE IS HERE!”.  Kiwi Crate is my favorite subscription box, at least for L.  I love that you can easily pause your subscription and skip a month if you want to.  Kiwi Crate is 19.95 a month, but you can try your first box for $9.95 by clicking HERE
