Q: I’m waiting to gift my son in law with a box also while my daughter is pregnant, what do the boxes containAsked by Lisa R., November 2019

The Rad Dad Box answered...November 2019

Hi Lisa, thank you so much for your interest in the box and congratulations to your family! A typical regular box will include a Dad-themed book, a self-care product for Dad, a toy or Dad-themed onesie for the baby (as well as a guide on how Dads can use the toy to help bond with baby and help promote baby's development), and one other product (some months, this product is for Dad, other months, it's for baby). Our Deluxe boxes include everything that comes in the regular boxes, plus 2-3 more products for Dad and baby. We do have photos of our past boxes on our Cratejoy listing, which you can see by clicking through the photo on our main Cratejoy page. Thanks again for...

I loved my box. We had our membership for almost 2 years. We were able to set up our profile and got items that matched what we put down. My boxes had a toy for the baby, a children’s book to read, an activity to do together, and something for me (usually something to eat or a grooming product). We also got near little shirts or onesies. You can change your profile as you go to fit dad’s and baby’s...

Q: Hi, I am currently pregnant and due July 2, I saw this and thought it was a prefect gift for my husband for his bday which is in August! Thought it would be a sweet gift to get from the baby to him. How do you know the appropriate box to give when the baby will only be a few weeks old? Is this good for newborns? Asked by Jessie I., June 2019

I did this for each of my sons when there babies were born, they loved it and she works with you to customize it. She was so good helping me with adding something because I didn’t want to leave the 4 year old out. My sons and there wives loved it.

I got a subscription for my husband, and was blown away by the personalized service. In my experience, the people who curate the boxes will reach out to you via email to make sure the choices are age-appropriate, and something you’ll like/use. We loved every box.

by Rachel G., June 2019

Hi Jessie! We give you several options at checkout that allow you to choose which box you feel will be best for your baby. We normally segment the boxes based on age. We will also be offering customized boxes again in July and will reach out to you to discuss the box's contents if you choose this option. Last of all, we also offer a one-time Rad Dad Newborn Starter Kit filled with products that we found essential for the...

I ordered for my son for his 2nd baby. Got the first box and he loved it. Found out 4 months later that he stopped receiving them but I was paying monthly for a subscription. There was a mix up and when I sent an email to Michelle she IMMEDIATELY responded with an apology and 3 options for resolving the issue. The customer service with this company is amazing!!! Thanks for being a company of integrity and honesty! I HIGHLY recommend The Rad Dad box and Cratejoy.

We loved our subscription every month. Baby is now not a baby anymore. Every item is amazing. We love all the books. Customer support is fantastic and responsive. Boxes arrived on time and undamaged all the way to Taiwan. As a subscription box family, this was a great one to start our baby with and a fantastic way for dads to spend time and bond with their littles.

We love Rad Dad Box!

Ordered this for my son. It came in good time, but it was the wrong box. Michelle was very apologetic and went out of her way to make sure we got the right one in time for Christmas. She was also helpful in changing the shipping address so my son will now receive it at home. He was pleased with the box. The items are fun and good quality. Glad I ordered it.

Purchased a 3 month gift subscription for my husband. My husband was emailed when the first box was purchased, which was contrary to what was indicated on the Q&A from the company, and I was bummed this would not be a total surprise anymore. My husband assured he would obviously be surprised by the contents. The first box we received was so sweet and my very practical husband, who typically is wary about these types of gifts, really enjoyed it and was excited for the other boxes. Box 1 came with a lovely book, 2 small bath toys (we have 2 small kiddos), hand balm for dad, and trial size ground coffee. The second box didn't have a theme and came with a generic "I Love You, Daddy" book, a toy rattle, another hand balm (kind of disappointed to get two of the same product in a row), and a small bag of chips. The third box just arrived and had an animal theme with a small bag of chips, a goat milk soap, and a book that had a printing error (not the fault of the Rad Dad company!). No kids toy/clothing/product arrived this time, which was expected since the description indicates 3-4 items per shipment. The company also kindly acknowledged in a note that the book they originally hoped to include was no longer in print; I sincerely appreciate the transparency. I know this is a small company and see they are working hard to offer these each...

Hi Stephanie, thanks for taking the time to write a review! Unfortunately, Cratejoy no longer allows us to turn off automatic emails, which is why your husband received an email when the box shipped. I apologize. Also, you were supposed to receive a kid's product in your last box, I apologize for my warehouse team's oversight with regards to this. I will reach out to you via email to make sure the kid's item is sent to you. Sorry again!

I have only good things to say about it!

I have been a subscriber since before my son was born, and now he's 2. Every month we got a very well curated number of items, which have always included a book, which my son loves, awesome toys and sometimes a good snack! The quality of the items is excellent; it's a great value for its price.
I give so much importance to being a good father, and this box gets it! Thanks Michelle and family for the wonderful experience and an awesome customer support.
