Essential Lists,  Tips + Tricks

Have you tried Lillypost yet?

Most nights we read with the kiddos before bed. If your family reads as part of your bedtime routine you know what it is like to read the same book over and over…and over again. For that reason, we are always on the lookout for new books. We gave Lillypost a shot! This is what we learned.

How it works.

  • Choose your box type. We chose the Mixed Book Box. It includes books for various ages. Since our little ones range in age from 4 months to 7 years, variety is important. There are other box type options for more specific ages listed here.
  • Subscribe to a monthly box or pre-pay for 3, 6, or 12-month service.
  • You can select if you would like to add seasonal books to your Lillypost box. I LOVE holiday-themed books so this was a no brainer for me. We stash away our seasonal books with the appropriate decorations each year. When we pull out our Christmas boxes to decorate the tree we also unpack our Christmas books. The books seem brand new again as it has been a whole year since we have seen and read them.

It is super fun mail for kids.

The day our Lillypost box arrived in the mail both Henry and Claire were stoked. I mean who doesn’t love getting a surprise package delivered? When we ordered our box we opted to pay a little extra for each book to be individually wrapped. The books arrived perfectly wrapped and truly made opening each book that much more exciting. The unwrapping took more time making the whole unveiling of our new books an event of sorts. Plus it made me think about what a good gift Lillypost boxes could be, with literally no work other than ordering online.

Lillypost coloring contest activity is gold.

Each month Lillypost hosts a coloring contest. Their logo is a little fox named Finnley. Using the Lillypost box the kiddos can decorate Finnley according to the theme of the month. Our first box theme was color and Claire went all out. As you can see it turned out adorable!
