Much emphasis as of late has been on babies. Naturally, with spring in full swing, it seems everyone has been having babies! It’s a good thing we love babies and all of the goodies they require.
And speaking of goodies, I get a lot of emails from readers and friends asking what the latest and greatest gifts for babies are these days. One of the biggest trends in gifts for babies—and actually, gifts in general—are subscription boxes.
Subscription boxes are exactly what they sound like: they’re a subscription service based upon a theme, where recipients are mailed new boxes every month for a nominal fee. These boxes make an awesome gift for new moms because they often feature new products every month, which gives these new parents a chance to test drive new stuff monthly. And who doesn’t like getting care packages in the mail every month?
One of the newest subscription box services, Googaro, is geared to new parents and features a variety of fun new baby-centric products, tailored to specific age groups and gender. According to Googaro, they include goodies in their care packages ranging from “toys, books, snacks, and household products from brands we love like Plum, Burt’s Bees, and Aden+Anais.”
My first impression of Googaro: nice-sized package, beautiful branding and an ample assortment of baby products that I already know and love. I actually already own almost everything in the package, underscoring Googaro’s one liner: “Top Quality, Baby-tested Products Chosen by Picky Moms, Delivered to Your Door Each Month.” I am a picky mom who researches and hunts down the latest and greatest for kids, so it made me smile to open my sample Googaro box to find awesome goodies from Happy Family, Cleanwell, Episencial, eco-crayons, JJ Cole and ore.
Would I have liked to find products that I’d never heard of before? Perhaps…but I’m much happier to find brands that have been vetted by like-minded moms and boast eco-friendly and baby safe standards. My one year old could always use more snacks, safe sunscreen and fluffy bath towels, so I was glad to see these baby essentials included in the box. As for the Cleanwell handsanitizer? We go through massive amounts of Cleanwell products, so I’m excited to replenish the diaper bag sanitizer supply. I personally think $35/month is more than I’d be willing to spend on this type of subscription, but I am glad to see there are gift options and chances to save.
Googaro is off to a great start; I can’t wait to see what other goodies they include next. I’d love to see them branch out to include goodies for bigger kids, too. So far, so good, though!
Googaro subscriptions are offered in 3, 6 or 12 month options, starting at $35/month. The longer the subscription, the more you save. And speaking of saving, Googaro has kindly offered NKT readers 10% off everything on their site. Just use the promo code JENRB10
