BAEBOX Monthly Subscription Box For Tweens And Teens Giveaway

BAEBOX is a new monthly subscription box created with growing-up girls in mind. There are two different boxes, the Tween Box aimed at age 8-12 and the Teen Box for 13-15. BAEBOX have kindly offered one of their Subscription Boxes (and it'll be the Christmas box!) for one of my readers in my Christmas Present Giveaways.


My daughter is 16, so just over the target age range, but we've both been excited about BAEBOX sending us a selection of items you'll find in the Teen Boxes.... The box was adult shoebox sized, however it's amazing what you can fit into it...


At the top of the box we had some inspirational cards before a layer of shredded paper and then some goodies. My daughter was especially delighted when she realised there was actually a second layer of treasure hiding under there...

Pineapple Post-it Notes, Batiste Dry Shampoo, Cocoa Butter Moisturiser, Unicorn wipes and some really cute and cool skincare products from NPW were finished off with a gorgeous carved heart paperweight.

Contents of box laid out on table

My daughter loved it all, you can see it in the photos. There was lots of whooping and 'aaaaaahhing'. It was very exciting opening the box to find out what was inside, and it was indeed a good stocking-full of goodies.


Our box was a selection of items to get an idea, and my daughter and I were both very impressed. They're cool, attractive and useful. Nice items that you'd buy to treat yourself or as gifts.

As an example of a real complete box, here is what was in October's Teen BAEBOX. I feel that this represents fair value for money in product alone, but with the added bonus that you don't have to search for it all, or trek around the shops, and the 'surprise gift' factor has to make it a winner.


BAEBOX Subscription Boxes are available monthly to order now priced £16.00 for a single box, with discounts for longer subscriptions. Subscribe before the 22nd to receive that month's box - Christmas orders must be in by around 14th because of the Christmas post dates.
Find out more on the BAEBOX website.

  1. My worst experience with a Christmas present was when I was about 22 and my mum bought me a vibrating back massager - the box was buzzing as I opened it and for one awful minute I thought she had got me a completely different vibrating thing.....
    Obviously she wouldn't do that and I knew that but for one awful moment that seemed to last a lifetime I was afraid to take the wrapping off!!!!

  25. My husbands family have a cruel tradition of wrapping up a black bag, recipient has to clean up all the wrapping paper.

  68. We all have our individual answers, though as for My worst experience was when I got a card that said "Santa ran out of the good gifts..... they have gone to the better boys and girls on his list!" and in the inside was 2 pennies - on the on the other side was a message that is hand written, it said: I thought since you're good in math; you can make 'cents' out of this...
