Last year youngest son made a "birthday schedule" where he planned what he wanted to do each day leading up to his birthday. This countdown perfectly compliments that notion-- stretching out and spreading the celebration and joy (and feeling special) over an entire week! There is a little burst of anticipation and surprise each day.
Both my sons (a ten year old and an eight year old) thoroughly enjoyed their countdown box. Although I am not in planned age demographic of the "Glee Squee" box, I found myself having a really, really fun time watching my sons open and play with their daily gifts. It turned into a nice sliver of screen-free family time.
Without any spoilers, I'll say I thought the gifts were wonderfully curated. There is a nice variety of unique activities and products that you won't find in the big box stories. They all seemed well crafted and made with care by the artisans.
We had an excellent time. I look forward to using Clementine Countdowns to share joy and magic with my loved ones in the future!
