With all this time at home, we could all use a bit of happy mail! Subscription boxes are all the rage. Why? They’re full of fun, exciting surprises, make for great gifts, and expose you to new brands, activities, flavors, etc. Often, you’re already spending money in the below categories, so why not spend in a way that can save you time or money, support causes you believe in, or offer things you may not otherwise have access to? Below, I’ve put together 12 subscription boxes for kids that are sure to have you or your child skipping to the mailbox! Enjoy!
1. Literati
For just $9.95/month, your kids will be sent a box of five new books! From there, you only buy the books you want to keep with the Literati Kids “Try-Before-You-Buy” club! It’s a lot of fun and a great way to only collect the books you really love!
2. Snack Riot
Any parent knows the importance of snacks! And, kids have a way of being very fickle when it comes to their favorites! Not only does Snack Riot constantly expose your home to different brands and flavors, but all of their snacks are healthier than the typical shelf stuff. We’re talking whole grains, gluten-free, vegan, natural sugars, superfoods, and more! I always say, you’re buying the snacks anyway, might as well do it this way for an exciting box of surprises! Bonus: Use code momuptown for 15% off your first order!
3. Romp + Tumble
This new subscription service is solving problems and changing the world! Romp + Tumble offers 22-piece bundles of new and gently-used, eco-friendly clothing for your kids to wear however they normally would, and return in ANY condition. Forget buying brand-new clothing just to give away when your baby outgrows it all so quickly, as kids do. Romp +Tumble has found a way to be kinder to the world and keep your child in the latest and greatest clothing! Bonus: Use code MOMUP10 for 10% off your first subscription!
4. Play with Yaya
Along that same theme of reducing our footprint, especially with ever-changing and growing children, New York City-based Play with Yaya, has created a subscription service to solve the toy overload problem! They deliver toys perfect for your child’s age that you can send right back when he or she is done playing with them! Only for NYC moms right now, but stay tuned as they grow!

I am passionate about getting my kids involved in the kitchen! And I don’t know if there is a more fun way to do it than with the KidStir monthly cooking kits! Starting at $19.99, each cooking kit includes a cooking tool, recipes, a magazine, stickers, and more!
6. Jambo Books
This year has highlighted just how important it is to bring diversity into the home, and books are a great way to do that! Unfortunately, according to a recent study by the University of Wisconsin, only 22% of children’s books are about people of color. Thankfully, Jambo Books exists! Their subscription service features children’s books with people of color as the main characters! Jambo sends monthly books right to your home so children of color can see themselves, or diversity is brought in where it’s lacking. A fun box of awareness, starting at $29.99!
