Product Experience

The Sassy Bloom website is the first step for ordering your box, which you can either get for yourself or give as a gift. You are asked for a few details about your little one so that the box can be tailored to their gender and age. You then place the order and wait eagerly for the postman to turn up.

When the box arrived, it was securely packaged inside a plain cardboard box. On opening this box, we were greeted with the white and pink Sassy Bloom logo which was nicely tied with ribbon. The fact that this box was attractively designed gave a luxury and special feel to the package which goes some way towards providing a wow factor if giving a Sassy Bloom box as a gift.

We were pleased with what came in the box and have a use for all of the products which is great. The good thing about a service such as this is that you have no idea what you’re getting, so there is a surprise and excitement element which comes along with the product experience. It also means that you get products that you may not know about or may not buy yourself.

Cost

The price of a monthly Sassy Bloom box is £29.00, which includes free delivery, and can be bought directly from the Sassy Bloom website. For this price, you get a nicely packaged box full of goodies for the little one with a minimum RRP value of £40.00. You can also subscribe to a 3-month, 6-month or annual membership which reduces the cost of a box to as low as £22.15.

Summary

On looking at the Sassy Bloom website after opening our box, I was slightly disappointed to see a video review by another customer with exactly the same products in their box as us. The only difference was that their products were pink, as the customer had a baby girl. This did take away a bit of the specialness of the experience because I expected all boxes to be different. This might just be me being a little naive, but if a box is hand-picked for me, I didn’t expect the same one to be hand-picked for someone else.

Having said that, I still liked the experience of receiving a box of unknown goodies in the post. I imagine that this would become even more exciting as the little one reaches toddler age and can help to open her box. I’d probably not buy another box for us as a family because there is a risk that you will spend £29.00 on products that you either already have or don’t necessarily need – I’d probably prefer to spend £29.00 on stuff we needed rather than take the gamble of the box

But, the Sassy Bloom box would make an awesome gift. I feel that it offers good value for money considering that the value of the goods in the box is more than the box itself, whilst the personalised service and nicely put together boxes give it a luxury feel. This, coupled with the fact that it is different, looks nice and has some cool stuff inside, makes it an ideal present.

⭐⭐⭐ (3/5)

I have given this box a fair trial(having subscribed for a year) I have had both ups and downs with it though now I have canceled my subscription(They have a 31 day cancellation period so I will ultimately have to pay for a further box). We have had months where a box would be late or not show up meaning I was having to contact and chase up where it was. Their customer service was fairly good in resolving issues, if at times a little slow in responding. I found I would get excited when the boxes turned up and then be disapointed when we looked through what the goods where - I brought the box for Theo and seemed to get items that I felt were chucked in to fill space(door stops, a plate, things that weren't in our opinion age related - received a toy that was 18months+ when he was 9months old - etc.)

As a one of gift I can see it being nice though I can also seeing it having items that people already have.
