When my daughters were little, I loved to dress them in matching outfits. I’d always buy two outfits that either matched or coordinated and would dress the girls in them on the same day. But the days of me choosing what my kids wear have sadly passed. Even my little boy has a definite opinion on what he wants to wear each day.
Since the kids all want to have a say in what they wear, shopping for clothes can be a lot more challenging. It’s quite a task to take all three kids shopping and let them find styles they like. Before we’re even halfway finished, everyone is tired of shopping and ready to head home.
Thankfully, I don’t have to take the kids clothes shopping anymore. Just like I shop for my own clothes online, I’ve now started searching for great clothes for the kids online too. And I absolutely love the Kidbox style delivery service we just started using.
To start using Kidbox, I set up a profile for my son with his age, clothing sizes and style preferences. I was able to choose his personal style from casual, preppy, hip and cool. Then we were able to specify anything that wouldn’t work, like tight-fitting clothing, button downs and neon colors. We shared some of the favorite stores where we’ve shopping in the past and then chose the personality trait that most described my son (easy going, shy, active, artistic, quirky, etc.). It took just a minute to complete the profile and we were all set.
As soon as the profile was created and the order was placed, the Kidbox style experts began putting together the perfect outfits for my son. Our first box arrived in just a few days and we couldn’t wait to see what was inside.
My son had a ball opening his very own package when it arrived. He was happy about seeing his new clothes, and then was thrilled to find crayons, a coloring page, stickers and even a wrapped surprise tucked alongside the clothing.
While I was happily going through the outfits, he went to work on the surprise.
I’ll be honest. Because I felt like we might have chosen a few different Kidbox profiles for my son, I was a little unsure about what we’d find. Some days he’s in a quirky mood and will choose a silly non-matching outfit, while on other days he’ll want to look nice and will go totally preppy.
Clearly Kidbox gets that, because I loved everything they sent.
After my son had fun coloring and playing with his surprise toys, he was ready to check out the new clothes. I was happily surprised to find that not only did he like everything, but he wanted to wear them right away. For my son, that’s a serious hit.
If we hadn’t been thrilled with everything in the Kidbox, we could have just packaged the unwanted items up and sent them back within seven days without ever being charged for them. There are no obligations to keep or buy anything at all and shipping is free both ways, so there is nothing at all to lose.
We loved everything, though, and were thrilled at how discounted everything ended up being. We had the choice to buy the entire box for $98 or buy each piece for the Kidbox price. Either way, the discounts are awesome. Check out what we received from Kidbox, along with their price-per-piece, and the normal price of each item:
7 for All Mankind Boys Raglan Tee $18 (normally $38.50)
Diesel Boys V-Neck Tee $22 (normally $30)
Paper Denim & Cloth $20 (normally $30)
U.S. Polo Assn. Boys Belted Cargo Shorts $24 (normally $36)
Weatherproof Vintage Boys Fleece Knit Shirt $15 (normally $24.50)
Free Planet Boys Tank Top with Pocket $16 ( normally $30)
7 for All Mankind Boys Swim Short $30 (normally $45)
We ended up with $234 worth of clothing for only $98. I love it!!
Giving Back
In addition to their style delivery service, another of the awesome aspects of Kidbox is their donation campaign. For every single box that is kept, Kidbox donates a brand new outfit to a child in need, even letting you choose where the donations go with options like children in foster care and children in military families. I loved talking with my son about giving back and making choices that might help others too.
We had a great experience with our first Kidbox and will definitely be ordering again. I can’t wait to see what their style experts put together for my daughters next!
