10 Best Subscription Gifts for Kids That Give All Year Long

Subscription boxes for kids in Canada are one of my most requested gifts for the kids when extended family members ask what they would like for holiday gifts (after I mention a contribution to their savings account). As you probably know, we’ve all got family members that aren’t too fond of the contribution and they want to give something tangible, something that can be used now. Here are some great ideas for kids Christmas gifts that keep giving back (and keep creating fun) all year long.

Koala Crate

Koala crate is a craft and activity box designed for toddlers. In every box, you get two activities, a toddler friendly magazine that includes learning activities and a book. We’ve had things like cards and blocks for months, from previous boxes, that we use frequently in preschool learning activities at home. Use this link to get half off of your first month.

Highlights Magazine

The classic magazine of your childhood has been revamped in versions that are suitable for kids between 0-2, 2-6 and 6-12. Age appropriate and full of learning activities, the magazine is a popular way to make getting the mail that much more exciting. You can sign up for the magazine subscription (so, so well worth it), right here.

Tee Box

This locally curated box from Designer Childhood. You can get a small designer label tee-shirt delivered right to your door, with the optional choice to add on an accessory, for an entire year. You choose the size, and Designer Childhood will curate your kids style for you – that’s how easy it is. These tees are so, so soft and the ones that my kids reach for in their closet, most often.

Tip: Until November 14, you can save 40% when you use the code NEWBIE to place your order with designerchildhood.com

Tinker Crate

Tinker Crate is designed for kids between 9-16. Kids can discover and learn about science, engineering, and technology through fun hands-on activities. Hands on, creative, educational and filled with projects to ignite the passion for STEM. It’s a laboratory for hands on experiments, delivered once a month in an exciting box. Use this link to get half off of your first month.

Doodle Crate

Our crates introduce fun crafting materials and interesting techniques. As kids dig in, they begin to see how materials can transform. They start dreaming about the possibilities and exploring their own ideas. By exercising their imagination and creativity, children learn something new. We love seeing them develop an enthusiasm for making and creating something all by themselves. Use this link to get half off of your first month.

Kiwi Crate

Koala crate gives preschoolers exposure to new materials, new tools, new techniques, and new concepts that encourage hands-on learning and fun. Our team is dedicated to inspiring these young scientists, artists, explorers. Use this link to get half off of your first month.

Bramble Box

Bramble box is one of the latest ones we’ve tried out. Similar to the Kiwi crate, there are fun and imagination prompting crafts and activities inside of the box. The crafts are well thought out, unique and include everything that you need to get started and create some fun imaginative play. Use this link to save $10 off of the Bramble Box.

Little Passports

Little Passports is a global adventure where kids follow Sam and Sofia’s travels around the world with monthly packages received in the postal mail and online. There are three different levels available, from children ages 3+ and a US version to inspire road trips for years to come.

The mini box is curated by our candy experts. There will be 7-12 items depending on how many large items we put in it. The candy is a mix of hard and soft candy and chocolate. Try it out, here.
