There’s nothing better than getting lost in a good book!  Ok…as a former language arts/reading teacher, I may be a bit biased.  Books have always been a favorite of mine…from Sweet Valley High to Thank God it’s Me Margaret…books have always helped guide me through my childhood. I firmly believe that if you foster a child’s love of literature at an early age, you will create readers for a lifetime!  I would have LOVED having a subscription box like Owl Crate Jr when I was a kid!

Check it out…

What do I love about Owl Crate Jr?

 This box is curated for kids ages 8-12, and they make sure to appeal to both boys and girls.

Ever since I was a kid reading Nancy Drew books, I have always loved a good mystery.  Finders Seekers gives you the ability to travel around the world solving crime without leaving the comfort of your couch.  Finders Seekers is a subscription box that takes you to a different “location” to solve a mystery as a member of the Society of Seekers.  It is like going to an escape room in your own home.

I love that the clues, puzzles, and mysteries are created by the founder and his team.  Imagine being that creative? I also love that the founder and his wife have traveled to all of the locations of the box and have toured each city to learn more about the culture.  All of the pictures you see in your envelopes were taken by them.  This gives the pictures an authentic look!

No one likes to travel with too much makeup and skin care bottles, so it’s important to find some good products that you’ll want to travel the world with.  I love to try new products and a subscription box like, Kinder Beauty, allows me to find ones from companies that have the same values as I do.

What do I love about this box?

Each box contains products that are clean, 100% vegan, & cruelty-free.   The products and ingredients are never tested on animals and they don’t even include brands that have parent companies that test on animals.  I also love that a portion of all sales benefit animal rights and environmental causes.

What comes in each box?

Each month you’ll receive skincare, makeup, hair-care, and accessories.  I love that you receive at least two full-sized products.

What did we get in our box?

The value of our box was $77.

With these uncertain times, tweens/teenagers can have lots of negative feelings.  They may be missing their friends, becoming overwhelmed with remote learning, or nervous about what they are seeing on the news.  Now it is more important than ever to make them feel powerful and stay positive.  One Girl Inspired subscription box is the perfect way to bring positivity and empowerment into your home.

What do I love about this box?

As a mom of an 11 & 13-year-old, I am always trying to make them feel powerful, encourage them to be themselves, help others that are in need, and be kind to everyone. Girls these days have so much weighing on them from social media, peer pressure, and the pressure of getting good grades.  This box is a wonderful monthly gift that will help them build self-confidence and self-love.

What comes in each box?

Each month they’ll receive 4-6 fun and inspiring tools that coincide with a different theme. Items may range from journals, personal development books, tech gadgets, fun school supplies, jewelry, beauty items, and much more.

What did they get in this box?

The theme of their box was USE YOUR VOICE!

They stress, “Your voice is your own, and it is within your power to control that. There is power in using your own unique voice to bring about the positive change you wish to see in the world. Always speak your own truth.”
