Even as an adult, getting things in the mail is the best. But remember how great it was when you were a kid? There was so much anticipation just knowing that something was on the way, especially for you. Opening it felt like such a thrill.
Kids these days are lucky, because they have access to a ton of different kinds of subscription boxes that didn’t exist for previous generations. Subscriptions make a great gift, and they’re fun and educational all year round.
