Tinkercrate...I gotta try this! (Great Christmas Gift!)

I have been seeing this all over the internet, frankly, I wonder why I didn't think up something this good, as the idea is wonderful! 

This is a monthly subscription service for your kids and there are crates for ages 3-16 (Koala crate ages 3-4, kiwi crate ages 4-8, tinkercrate ages 9-14, and Doodle crate for ages 9-16) 

 Every month you are sent a "crate" and the reviews I am reading from trusted bloggers are all really good.  The age group I have chosen focuses on Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM skills) I am giving it a go for Christmas as they are offering a special $10 off deal right now.  The subscription usually runs $19.99 a month with free shipping but if you sign up through this link: (just click on any of the pictures below)

You will get $10 off your first month (making it $9.99) and you get free shipping plus... cancel anytime.  

I am thinking that this would be a great Christmas gift to give as well!

Disclaimer, I too have ordered my first month and I will be reviewing this product once we get it.  Also, if you sign up through my link I also get a $10 credit but I am in no way affiliated with their company, it is just a share bonus they offer for telling friends.

Here are some of the other crates for different age groups:
