Gifts for Parents: Box Upon a Time

October 15, 2014 //  by Uju//  48 Comments

 
Box Upon a Time logo
 

Don’t you just love receiving packages in the post? Even when you know what’s inside, there’s still a flutter of excitement as you tear open the box to reveal its contents.

Subscription services have been a growing trend across Europe and the US for a while and now more and more of these companies are springing up across the UK.

You’ll find monthly mail clubs for foodies, fashionistas and the 0-3 set.

I’ve recently been introduced to Box Upon a Time, a wonderful sounding service that delivers handpicked children’s fashion from across Europe to your door every month.

First, you complete a short survey to describe your tastes, then Box Upon a Time stylists put together a selection of clothes they think you’ll love, from hot brands like Olive & Moss, Tartine et Chocolat, Mini a Ture and Little Radicals.

The best part is that you’ll get these items at up to 60% off retail price! These boxes make absolutely lovely gifts for parents or something wonderful for your own family to look forward to each month.

Very kindly (and well ahead of Christmas shopping!), Box Upon a Time has offered to send a lucky Babes about Town reader one of their monthly gift boxes filled with clothing for ages 0-3. All you have to do is fill out the Rafflecopter form below. Best of luck!
