Convenience seems to be everything these days, which means there is a monthly subscription box for just about anything. My favorites, though, are the ones that go beyond product sampling. The boxes on this list are aimed at not just introducing you to great products, but also educating, nourishing, and entertaining your kids. This summer, if you’re wondering what to do with the little ones, here’s a list of some fantastic boxes with personally curated crafts, books, snacks, and even a few treats for Mom (you deserve a break, too!).
12 Great Monthly Subscription Boxes for Moms & Kids
- Wantable – Makeup, Accessory, or Intimates Boxes: Choose what kind of box you’d like to receive of the three, answer some questions, and decide whether you’d like a monthly subscription or a one-time box. You can also gift these.
- GlossyBox – Women’s Beauty Products: Get a variety of 5-6 luxury-sized cosmetic and wellness samples hand-picked by a beauty expert. Choose a monthly subscription or a one-time order.
