Box Upon a Time subscription - overall rating 7/10
(From Anon)
(2014) I was offered one month Gold subscription to try Box Upon a Time, an online company that a delivers an assortment of branded baby clothes selected by stylists at discounts of 60% off.
To claim my gift, I had to log onto Box Upon a Time's website and create a 'fashion profile', detailing my style preferences, favourite colours, patterns etc for my child. This was very straight-forward and didn't take long at all. I also had to enter my child's date of birth - as my 4yo is too big for this service (it's for children under 3 years), I was keen to get clothes for my unborn baby. Unfortunately there wasn't an option to set the date in the future, so I had to enter a random date.
The box arrived approximately month later with two lovely I Talk Too Much t-shirts, one bodysuit and one sleepsuit from Petit Pim. It also came with a summary of how much each item cost at retail price and the total box value, which was £83. The stylist did a great job at matching my fashion profile and the clothes are great quality. Unfortunately, as I had to input a random date of birth for my unborn child, the two t-shirts selected was age 6 months, which means it will be the middle of winter when he can wear it!
The Gold subscription costs £49 a month and the value of the clothes range from £80-£120, so if you're after designer, this is definitely a great way to save a bit of money. There are two other monthly subscriptions on offer too - £29 for clothes worth £40 to £60, and £69 for clothes worth £100 to £140 if you want to splash out. It's definitely a great gift to give for a fashion conscious mother-to-be!
