Mysteries in Time – Kid’s Subscription Box | Review

[Ad- gifted product] This month we tried out something new with the Mysteries in Time monthly history subscription box which, as you can imagine by the name, is a great tool when it comes to history for kids. It’s a box aimed at 7-11-year-olds, which two of my kids qualify under, and as the first month was on Ancient Egypt it seemed like a perfect fit for Kai, who had recently studied it as one of his half-term topics for school. I’m a bit of a history buff myself, and he had really enjoyed the recent topic work, so it seemed like a perfect. As with any box, or any study package, there definitely needs to be a willingness to learn, or a general sense of excitement around the topic.

Firstly, the box is really well designed (we got the bumper box for this review). It’s a rectangular cardboard box which closes and seals up quite tightly. It’s not always common for these things to feel like they are designed with longevity in mind, but the box is well constructed and has survived the cat sitting on it, and it being dropped once, with no wear and tear.

It’s safe to say that the bank of mum and dad won’t always be making deposits into your teen’s bank account and as they get older and start thinking about college, it’s important that they begin to take some responsibility for their own finances.

FurGrip – Hair Removal Tool | Review

Pancake sheds a lot. Like, more than I feel most cats probably do. This might be because we pet him a lot and we brush him often, who knows. That paired with my love of black hoodies and big blankets have left us with lots of stuff being washed, yet the hair isn’t coming out during the cycle. In search of finding a way to fix this issue, I purchased a FurGrip (in cat, of course) and crossed my fingers. FurGrip is a slightly sticky, plastic thing that goes into the wash along with your cloths.

Pretty Suds May 2020 Bath Bomb Box | Review

After my first Pretty Suds monthly bath bomb box, I was pretty excited for the theme of Unicorns vs Mermaids! As always, this box came with five different bath bombs of a variety of sizes and shapes. Last month, all of the bath bombs were clouds, so it was nice to see all of these different designs! The coloring is really beautiful in each bomb as well, with two coming from the Mermaid side and two coming from the Unicorn side, as well as one mystery bomb to even it out.
