Back to School Cravebox Review

It has been like a Cravebox overload this week! Due to an error in shipping with the limited edition Back to School box, it showed up  a little late and just a few days before my Tasty Favorites Cravebox. The awesome people over at Cravebox made right the shipping error by generously giving EVERYONE their Back to School box for absolutely free! And let me tell you, I would not at all have minded paying the measly $13 for this box. It was filled to the brim with awesome products and well exceeded the amount I would have payed for it had we not been offered the refund. Here is what was in the box:

A full size bottle of yummi bears DHA vitamins for 
healthy vision & brain function. These retail for $21.99 (Drugstore.com)
so the box had already paid for itself with this one product.
My kids and I all enjoyed the taste and have been taking 
these vitamins daily!
 A coupon for a free Lunchables lunch combination.
                                   We are not a lunchable kind of family, but I love
 that they are trying to healthify their options and we
    will definitely give the new lunchable with the fruit  
smoothie a try with our free coupon!
Pocket size Kleened. I love that you open this up 
and take them out of the middle. Then it reseals. 
So it is super convenient to grab a tissue!
I am always up for free writing utensils. My kids 
     are all at the age where they are interested in writing,
 my husband is a serial student and I love to write,
   so these bic mechanical pencils are awesome.
I love that they are cute, but not too cute that
my husband wouldn't consider using them. I also
love that they are thicker than most mechanical
pencils and have a great comfort grip for your fingers!
retail price: $5.79 (Office Max)
Halo oral antiseptic is a new innovative product
designed for keeping the germs away. You spray
it in your mouth before you go somewhere (store,
work, airpline, school, ect.) and it works for up
to 4 hours to keep the germs at bay. Watch
Cristi's Reviews for more info on Halo and
a great giveaway coming up this week!! :)
Halo has a retail price of $12.99 (CVS.com)

More Bic products! This time it's Bic Atlantis Colored
pens! My kids and I love these. Because sometimes you
just need to write in pink! Retail price: $3.28 (Walmart.com)
Fruit of the Earth Aloe Vera Gel
This is pure aloe vera gel. No added 
ingredients, which is great for those of
us who try to stay away from chemicals
and stuff. Retail price: $5.99 (Drugstore.com)
And last, but not least one Little Pim's Spanish
Language DVDs. They have several videos in each
language to expose your kids to something new. 
This video retails for $17.95 (LittlePim.com)

As you can see, SEVERAL of the products cost more than the cost of the entire box! There was just so much fun stuff in this box, my kids and I have really enjoyed it. This has definitely been my favorite limited edition box from Cravebox yet! I will continue to sign up for these! You can too!
