Enlightened Generation has created a series of themed gift boxes for children ages three to ten. The company’s offerings combine an interactive book written by New York Times bestselling author Susan Verde, a matching piece of clothing, and hands-on activities. All of these are packaged in a premium keepsake box.
Each of Enlightened Generation’s boxes focuses on specific global wonders — from the leaf sheep sea slugs and the Nasca Lines of Peru, the Moai statues of Rapa Nui, to the Grand Prismatic Spring, the challenge of clean water access, and the history of language and communication. In doing so, the company ensure that the child learns something substantive about science, history, or culture. The clothing component, on the other hand, features designs related to the topic. In a way, these serve as a conversation starter, as well, where the child may convey what they have learned about the topic to another child or adult.
