2. Toy Library

About this box: Toy Library is a monthly toy rental subscription service that lets you borrow two toys at a time from a library of over 500 toys. Each month you receive credits based on one of three plans that you can use when you select your toys. They offer Novice – 2 credits per month for $24.99, Wizard – 4 credits per month for $39.99 or Einstein – 24 credits per year for $269.99 and all plans include free shipping. Toys range in credits from 1-3 depending on their size, so if your child likes larger toys, you will need a plan with more credits. Credits do roll over from month to month and will not expire as long as you are an active, paying member.

You may keep the toys as long as you want and once you are done you send them back in the included mailer where they are cleaned and sanitized for the next child to borrow. Find out more information here.

contents of "the rag"

22. The Rag

About this box: The Rag is the first-ever one-time period toolkit from Teen Vogue featuring all sorts of period-management options and needs.

Back in the day, when someone said they were “on the rag,” it meant they were menstruating. Why? Because it literally described how people managed their periods when there were no options for period products.

Now, times have changed and you have way more options than you probably realize. And when I say options, I don’t just mean the latest technology in blood management, though there will be plenty of that, too. Think beyond the blood about what it means to fit your period needs. Imagine a life where menstruating means being extra-nice to yourself because surfing the crimson tide is an adventure for the mind, body, and soul, baby.

The Cost: $24.99 + free shipping(except APO/FPO addresses)

I got the Ellen box. It’s OK.
Subscribed to Apocalyptic Beauty Look of the Month Club because I like some indie eye and lip colors.

The Home Detox box seems interesting. They offer clean & cruelty free beauty & home products. Also, seeing Maple Blume featured again would be cool…. or at least spoilers if MSA doesn’t want to review the box again.

I bought the Ellen box and loved it! The diffuser is the best, and I love the necklace. I hope they do more!
