Kids Parcel Review & Giveaway

44 Comments

Its coming to that time of year again … I am not going to tell you how many sleeps there are till Christmas but theres not as many as I would like! I don’t know about you but sometimes I really struggle with kids toys. I know I have two of my own (kids that is), but since they are both boys I have no idea what is on trend for little girls. I also struggle with slightly older children as we haven’t reached those ages yet. So when we were approached by Kids Parcel to try out one of their boxes I of course said yes. The concept really appealed for this reason – a handpicked box of toys specific to a child’s age and gender, no more last minute panics, asking mum and dad who inevitably say I don’t know as they want to appear polite and no more gift vouchers from a very well known online retailer…

The toys arrive is a sturdy box with a logo on the top addressed the child, inside there is a personalised message. For Monkey they were asking what his favourite toy was…

So how did we get on? Well I made our second little video to show Monkey unboxing the mystery parcel, he’s still new to the video thing (what do they say never work with children?) so bare with us. Also he refers to me as daddy at one point, not sure what that was all about! lol.

VIDEO

As you can see he was very pleased by the contents of the box (sorry about all the wows!). I must admit I was excited as he was to see whats inside… I may even have had a sneak peak before hand. Each box will have a minimum of five toys meaning that children should always find something interesting inside and that it will encourages different types of play.

If I am honest one of the things I was a little wary of was how much do you actually get for £29.99 the answer is a lot. In Monkey’s box he received:

  • Orchard Toys Rockets and Comets Game – RRP £9.50
  • Disney Wikkeez Tin- RRP £11.99
  • Star Wars Rebels Figure – RRP £16.95
  • Scooby Doo Scooby Figure – RRP £4.99
  • Justice League DVD – RRP £4.99
  • Star Wars Pencil Case and Stationary Set – RRP £3.99
  • New Burago Die Cast Model Car Lamborghini – RRP £3.99
  • Blue Scentos Dough – only comes in a pack of four so nominal £1.

Monkey of course loved it all but since the message asked what his favourite was, I thought we would share. Any guesses? ….. it was the scented dough, which will dry hard if left out for a couple of days. He made a bird …. I struggled to see it too but he was very proud of it:

Things we loved:

  • Offer 100% money back guarantee
  • Makes present opening a surprise to both the adult and the child… unless you peek of course
  • The value of the contents in our case far outweighs the vale of the box
  • The brands included are high street names such as Orchard Toys, Play-Doh, Lego, Hot Wheels and Disney
  • Delivery is free
  • There is no need to sign up for a subscription
  • They even have a team of toy testers to make sure the best possible toys are selected
  • Boxes are available from the ages of 3-10 years old, you select the age bracket on the website when you order. The also provide a unisex box if preferred

I think this is a great idea, ideal for loved ones who live far away or close to home.

    This looks great, I’m usually suspicious of “mystery parcels” as I have found in the past, they’re usually full of junk the company can’t sell, but this looks full of stuff my kids would love and fair value for money.

    We head a box from Kids Parcel as well, L loved his and I really wanted to see what you’d get as Monkey is that bit older. It looked like he got a great mix as well. Very impressive company #BloggerClubUK

    I’ve never heard of Kids Parcel before, but after reading your review was really impressed. It seems like great value for money, great quality and I love that you dont have to subscribe and that they have a money back guarantee. I really dont think theres much more you can ask for from a childrens retailer! Fab review and giveaway. Thanks for sharing it on #MarvMondays. Emily
