My 8 year old son got this box of goodies for his birthday. What a great idea! Every morning he woke up bursting with excitement and anticipation to open his next gift. And what could be better to a kid than a new surprise every day? He said it was like Christmas every day. The items in the box were excellent quality and smelled so amazing. It's clear that each item was chosen with love and care. All the goodies also promoted creative activity for him. We loved every minute of it. HIGHLY recommend. Thanks, Clementine, for creating this amazing treasure trove!
My newly turned 7 year old got this as a slightly belated (2 days late) birthday present and LOVED having a little gift to open every day. Without fail, he remembered that there was a new gift and oftentimes wanted to open it before heading to school because he told his friends and he knew they were wanting to know what the next gift was. It was awesome seeing his joy and excitement each day. He also often shared the openning and/or present itself with his almost 5 year old sister and she had a blast as well. I would definitely recommend this present for anyone considering it. He even used this as an opportunity to do his first product review on his newly created YouTube channel. Please note that there are spoilers in each video as he shows and describes the items, so if you want to be surprised, don't watch after he shows you the box and starts openning them. :-) Link to playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1GSR54OzEtqg2RHxLFwN5dRXQMA5VXO3
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!
