My daughters received subscription boxes from Kiwi Crate this Christmas from one of my aunts who lives out of state. I can’t tell you how excited I was to see the gift and how jazzed I am for them to try it over the course of the next few months. Subscription boxes are a wonderful gift idea either for your own children or someone else’s.
