For about a year I was a visual designer for a large monthly subscription box. In that year I learned a lot about this industry, and how much work goes into each and every box. If you’re clueless as to what I’m talking about, a subscription box is a box of goodies that is mailed out to subscribers monthly or quarterly. Some of the first notable and largely popular boxes were for beauty, such as Birchbox, but were followed after by large followings for other categories, such as BarkBox for your dog!
One of my favorite types are learning-based subscription boxes for kids! Here at Little Residents we put a big focus on children’s growth and development. These boxes are thought out by teams with those two important factors in mind. Regular toys are great, but these curated activities and learning-based items are even better! Keep reading to learn more about the brands that I think are creating awesome boxes, and keeping them coming!
