I'm sure many of you have heard of subscription boxes like Loot Crate and Birchbox. The idea is that you sign up to receive a mystery box of stuff every month. These subscriptions have become so popular, it's now possible to get boxes with just about any theme you can imagine: pet supplies, books, cosmetics, food, crafts...and toys.
My son and I tried a subscription a few months ago called The Mystery Experiences Company. This company sends out a detailed mystery to be solved every month--each with little puzzles, artifacts and clues to help with the solution. This was fun, but we discovered quickly that we didn't have the time or patience to dig into a complex new mystery every month. When I was canceling the mystery subscription, I spotted Toy Box Monthly. For $20 ($15 plus shipping), this company sends a little box of mystery toys every month. This sounded like the perfect thing for the Sunday Surprise!
I should mention right off the bat that the Shopkins Lil' Shoppie shown below did not come in the subscription box. So why am I showing you a picture of her? Well, I didn't want to give away what
was in the subscription box (that would ruin the surprise!) but also, these Shopkins items will make an appearance at the end of the post. That's all I'll say for now.
