KiwiCo Kiwi Crate ($22, originally $30)
For kids who love STEM, KiwiCo’s Kiwi Crates allow them to build their own interactive projects. You can purchase a monthly subscription for as little as $22 a month with the GIFTEARLY code or choose to purchase projects a la carte in KiwiCo’s store. Our editor tested it out with her 6-year-old and he especially loved the brand’s archery set. For more details, read this KiwiCo Kiwi Crate review.
Editor Quote: “It turns out that the activities and projects you create are a genuine good time for kids and adults. Our first Kiwi Crate was the archery set, which I built with my 6-year-old. As you can imagine, it was a huge hit. We were delighted with ourselves when we saw that the bow we built functioned seamlessly. Instead of arrows, it comes with balls wrapped in Velcro (phew!), and its accompanying felt board is double-sided. We switched back and forth between playing for points and feeding the googly-eyed monster by shooting into its mouth, which my 6-year-old loved. The thoughtful details that come with the crates — like the handy archery tips, archer glossary, and cut-out prize ribbons that celebrate milestones such as making your first bull’s-eye or pulling off an impressive trick shot — make the whole experience feel extra special.” — Angela Elias, contributing shopping editor
