I bought this subscription for my eldest (9 years) as a combined Christmas gift from his godparents. We spent the extra money on the bumper pack, and the subscription was for six months. It was worth every penny! As a parent, I appreciated receiving an email update to let me know when the box was on its way. I work in PR & Communication, and this company's communications was 5 stars. As a comparison, I bought a different subscription (different company, different box topic) for my other son. I was suckered with the impressive storage box to keep all his deliveries in. This other subscription was the same value but the quality and items received were pathetic. Everything was cheap or photocopied, and it was mostly papers and stickers sent every month. There was no communication, and the pack never arrived on time. Mysteries in Time is far greater value for money. Buy Mysteries in Time, you won’t be disappointed. I promise!
