You can purchase regular subscription boxes to suit a variety of needs, these days, including my LiFE Packs. Many subscription boxes are also available for families or children.
I’ve won both a Secret Book Stuff book and a Socially Conscious Club Box, in the past. Secret Book Stuff send pre-loved gift books to a friend or yourself, you just select a genre. They also have a Secret Book Club and you can receive a hand picked book delivered to your door, each month. The Socially Conscious Club had a number of different ethical subscription or gift boxes or you could make your own. The don’t appear to exist anymore but there are others like them.
What are Subscription Boxes?
Subscription boxes are delivered to your door on a regular basis, often monthly. They are usually set up around a particular interest or to meet a particular need. Like a magazine subscription which is delivered to your house regularly, so is a subscription box. It usually contains a number of items that are related. For example, a food subscription box could contain items to make some meals or samples of different foods. A craft subscription box would contain craft items around a theme or craft technique.
There are many subscription box choices for adults. However, this post is focusing on the many and varied boxes that you can get for children and families.
Child Friendly Subscription Boxes
I’ve tried to arrange them in categories of feeding the family in body, mind, heart and soul.
Subscription Boxes to Feed the Body
For Feeding the Family
There are a number of food or meal subscription boxes but not as many that cater for food intolerances or allergies. Here’s a few I’ve found that do:
Goodness Me Box – Get a monthly delivery of food that’s personalised to meet your dietary requirements.
Gluten Free
Dairy Free
Keto/Low Carb Friendly/Whole Foods
For the Kids
Cratejoy has a number of Subscription boxes that are about cooking for kids. These include Kids Baking Club, Little Bakers, and Little Sous Creative Cooking Boxes.
Rewild Your Child is a monthly box that gets your kids off screens, playing and exploring nature.

Subscription Boxes to Feed the Mind
Don’t forget that children learn a lot through play. So any subscription box that is going to get kids playing or creating is going to help them learn.

Subscription Boxes to Feed the Soul
LiFE Packs
As you possibly know I’ve been creating a LiFE Pack for each month. These can now be ordered in 3 – 36 month subscriptions as well. Starting at $15 for a 1 month subscription and becoming cheaper per month the more you order. Each month you’ll receive the next LiFE Pack plus a few other bits and pieces. Your child/children will receive something special on their birthday and you’ll receive some ideas about the next phase of your child’s life.
Other Soul Feeding Subscription boxes
Cratejoy also has subscription boxes for feeding the soul. These include HelloBible, Faith and Family Box, The Conscious Bedtime Story Club.
