Whether you are attending the birthday party in person or sending a gift from afar, this idea works for both equally as well. I can see my friends and family opening one of these and feeling loved. Little kids are so easy to buy for that you can fill one of these boxes up really quick and for not a lot of money. Great gift idea!

Such a wonderful idea. This kind of reminds me of those subscription boxes that have been popping up literally everywhere (it's cheaper, too!)
