Mail4Kids | Review

2009 Christmas Gift Guide Participant

If your kids love getting mail as much as ours, then you are going to love mail4kids.

We heard “is there any mail for me?” so often that we knew we had to ”address” this burning desire for mail with something fun, educational and collectible. After all who doesn’t love getting mail? And shouldn’t we all get something fun in the mail before the bills and junk mail start up?

mail4kids is an innovative and unique gift-giving idea.

When you subscribe to Mail4kids, you receive:

  • A custom-designed collector’s card featuring an image from one of our categories on the front, with fun and educational information on the back. Each mailing includes a specially created activity sheet that continues the theme of that card. This mailing comes to the child of your choice once a month for a year.
  • A special craft will be mailed on their birthday and at Christmas.

You may also choose to order a deluxe starter kit which includes:

  • A personalized collector’s box, for storing the collection
  • Index cards with the categories listed on them for organizing the collection
  • 4 cards to start the collection, and
  • A special gift to thank you for your subscription

My Thoughts

My kids have always loved getting mail, but I will have to say that my middle daughter is the one who enjoys it the most.When she was younger she would ask if anything came for her everyday we got the mail delivered. I started subscriptions to different kids magazines so I could finally say, “Yes, honey you got mail!” But that wasn’t at all personalized.

When Mail4Kids started arriving she was so excited as she had a box with her name on it and cards that she could collect, which she is a big fan of collecting things. One of her favorite things was the giant dinosaur egg. She absolutely loved watching the dinosaur crack the egg (with the help of water) and grow bigger. I love that she is still excited by those types of things, makes me feel she is still a kid at heart even though she is growing up.

One of my personal favorites about this kit is that through homeschooling her she has learned the joy of sending mail as well and I love watching her share her things with other children as she puts a card in the mail and carefully addresses the envelope. She has such a good heart! And Mail4Kids gives her something back, something to look forward to every month.

The Mail4Kids subscription would make the perfect gift for any of the children on your list this season. My daughter loves it and she still gets so excited when mail comes for her. Two thumbs up from me and my daughter.

For this review I was sent the deluxe starter kit as a starting point, I am responsible for further mailings.
