Kidbox is a subscription service that emphasizes social good. For each box that is purchased, Kidbox donates new clothing to a child in need. Beyond simply providing children with new clothes, the service is meant to inspire kids and parents to think of the world outside of themselves.
To begin a subscription, Kidbox has parents fill out a style profile that includes a child's preferences. Once the contents of a box have been unpacked, parents and children can work together on deciding what items to keep—only then will a purchaser's account be charged. Rather than picking and choosing, recipients also have the option of purchasing the entire contents of the box for $98.
To make the service as convenient as possible to use, Kidbox gives its members seven days to decide about items, offers free shipping both ways and makes the process of returning clothing extremely easy.
