Subscription boxes

Hello everyone,
was hoping for some help with subscription boxes, I fancy giving them as gifts this year and was hoping for some reviews.
Ive got a niece and nephew 11 years old and a niece and nephew 9 years old also a sister in law.
Can anyone help please?

maybe a flower subscription for your SIL, like this (not sure if there were cheaper options, this was the first that came up at £20 per month)

a box like this might go down well with the 9yo, i know it says up to 8 years but looking at the contents of the box a 9 year old would enjoy it too

the 11 year olds might enjoy this, which is a monthly book subscription. You could also get this instead of the above for the 9yos too

I get the degusta box , it's a food box for testing new products.
It's 12.99 a month
Probably more suited to an adult
After each box you review what you liked and what you didn't then the boxes are more tailored to what you like.
I've had all sorts in mine,
Chocolates , soups, kids snacks , drinks, alcohol, vegan things ,
sometimes it's a bit hit and miss but I've had some really nice things that I wouldn't never have bought if I hadn't tried them

Would magazine subscriptions be an option? I've never seen a box onr thay doesn't look like a huge rip off, though I suppose they're fun to receive.

Depends what they like really. I've bought my sister a Geek Gear one.. But a lot won't like that!

There's a stationery one called Papergang which is pretty good. It's on offer at the moment, £14 and a free box.

Glossybox is good if they like make up.

Fabfitfun is my current favourite but its pricey.

Theres one called My Purrfect Box which is all cat themed. I know they weren't accepting new subscribers a while back. Not sure if they are now.

Second the Degustabox!

This website is pretty useful- www.allsubscriptionboxes.co.uk/category/box/

It tells you about the boxes, has reviews and you can view past boxes.
