You got kids? Yes? Then you’ve got little people in your house who are constantly exhibiting multiple personalities. And I mean that in the nicest way. At any given moment they may be a princess, then an astronaut, then a ficus tree.
Let’s talk about little boys. (And not to be politically incorrect…this certainly applies to little girls, too). Little boys like missions. They like superhero missions, space missions, annoy-the-heck-out-of-their-sister missions, and of course…spy missions!
But…wait. How do you stage a spy mission? Unless you have a cryptographer under your roof (that’s a code word for code breaker), then you might find it difficult to come up with spy stuff for your little Maxwell Smart. For those of you who are younger than, say, fifty, Maxwell Smart was a TV spy back in the olden days (like the 70s or something).
Pssssst….hey! Help is at hand. Mission Unboxable to the rescue! You’ve probably heard of subscription boxes. (If you haven’t , you might need to crawl out from under that rock). There are monthly boxes for beauty, pets, kids, books – you name it and they’ll send you one every month. But now there’s a really clever one! Mission Unboxable will send your child a spy mission every month. Now your kids get to have a ton of fun and you don’t have to go out of your mind hearing, “I want to be a spy. Make me a spy, mommy. Mommy! How do I be a spy? Mommy! Mommy! Mooooom!” (Sound familiar?)
The first shipment comes with a spy briefcase, (no self-respecting spy goes around without a black briefcase) and an envelope detailing the ‘mission’, (Mission #1) which is to create a disguise. Inside the envelope is a selection of black mustaches, and a pair of dark sunglasses. There’s also a ‘wanted poster’ and an assignment to help your little spy prepare for mission #2.
We took our mission a little further: our spy wrote on a piece of paper with ‘invisible ink’ (a toothpick and lemon juice). When the message is ‘heated’ over the toaster, it magically appears on the paper.
Mission Unboxable Subscriptions are available in 3, 6 and 12 months, and occasio
nally you can purchase single missions or tasks. There’s also an option to add a sibling. Each month costs between $10 and $15, and it’s the perfect gift for any child between the ages of 6 and 10. It really encourages creativity and using the imagination.
Right now, Mission Unboxable Subscriptions are found on Etsy.
