Holiday shopping is getting ready to be in full swing; are you ready? This year I thought I would help you out by finding great gift ideas for those hard to shop for people. Josh is 11 and it seems like all tween-kids want for Christmas are high end electronics, video games and money. They can be hard to shop for! But I found an awesome place to get gifts and they are delivered to your door! Even better right?
I love the idea of giving a monthly subscription box as a gift. It’s a gift that keeps coming back!
Nerd Block is a monthly subscription box that has tons of options available.
The Horror Block – If you like zombies, The Walking Dead and other creepy things this is the box for you! $19.99 a month Arcade Block – This box is all video game based. (I am going to order this box for Josh!) $19.99 a month
Nerd Block Jr. Girls – Just $13.99 this box is designed for girls around the ages of 6-11. (We are ordering this as a gift!)
Nerd Block Jr. Boys – Also just $13.99 a month this box is designed for boys ages 6-11. (I am also going to order this one for Josh!)
I also plan on buying the Nerd Block Jr. Girls box as a gift for a family member. I think she will love the box and I think the fact that she will get one each month will be really special to her too! Who doesn’t like getting surprise gifts in the mail?
So what was in our Nerd Block Jr box….and more importantly, was it worth it?
On Amazon I could only find a set of 4, but they were selling for $39.99 + $3.99 for shipping!
So our estimated value for this guy is $10.00
I think this must be a toy that is popular in Canada (Nerd Block is from Canada) because I couldn’t find them on Amazon or Toys R Us in the US. But the Canadian Toys R Us did have them.
Estimated Value: $4.99
I found this item selling on Amazon for $9.99.
You can also order the book on Amazon for $5.88!
On Amazon these face tattoos sell for $11.99-$14.99 each!
I am going to estimate the value of this at $12.99.
Total value for this box: $43.85
Like I said, for me this box takes the guess work out of Holiday giving. Plus, it comes to me filled with things I would never think about! That’s great! I save time and money. A few boxes and I will have the stocking filled and a few gifts under the tree!
And as far as giving Nerd Block as a gift – it’s a great value, filled with great items and it’s a gift every month! How fun!
I was given a trial box of Nerd Block to use for this post. All opinions are my own.
That sure IS a great gift idea. That is all the stuff my 10 year old is in to!!
Oh that face tattoo! This is a good box to keep but also gift for kid’s birthdays. Great selection of items.
I see a few things my teen would like. thank you for the gift ideas.
I’ve been looking into getting subscription boxes for gifts this year. This looks like a great one!
My Son would absolutely love this! He loves TMNT and Mario along with video games haha
These are the perfect gift for those gaming kids there!
They did a great job putting together what ought to go in the box. I love those tattoos!
These look great. My son is really into TMNT and would love this.
These look like really awesome boxes. My son would love the Classic and the Arcade blocks!
That ninja turtle is adorable. I’d like one for myself!
Those are really great items in the box. My son would love to get something like this!
What a great idea. My youngest would love the Nerd Block. I love that they are coming out with the boxes for kids.
We have Nerd Block and Horror Block here and I have to say I really like the original one – its so nice to get some nerdy stuff each month.
We just found out about this and are stoked! My 11 year old think it’s brilliant!
I love subscription boxes, and that’s one of the coolest ones I’ve seen for kids.
This is a great looking box. My son would like everything in there, and what a fun way to treat the kids w/such a subscription box arriving for them regularly.
On a side note, little man would have to wrestle mama for that TMNT, he’s cute. 😉
This really is a fantastic idea! They get something all year ’round! Fabulous!
I wish kiddo was with us more than just weekends. I would get a subscription box for her, but sadly she has such a stockpile of gifts that haven’t even been touched.
I am all over these boxes! Takes away the mystery if what to get kids! Those on my list will love to get them
I think my husband would enjoy this box. He is definitely a game nerd 😀
Cool stuff- I like the tattoos for costumes, and I want that little turtle for my own keys.
I really think that my boys would enjoy a subscription like this. I’ll have to look into this.
I always call myself a nerd, but I’m more of a word nerd, if you know what I mean… Like a grammar police, even though English is not my first language!
Oh my gosh! TMNT, Mario AND How to Train Your Dragon all in one box?! My son would absolutely love this!
This is a great idea for kids! Talk about the gift that keeps on giving.
tweens can be difficult to shop for – thanks for this list. I have a 10 year old nephew.
I really like the boxes geared for kids. Looks like you got some great items. This would make a great Christmas gift that keeps on giving all year round.
