Mama's Box

What's in the box: Each box holds 5 to 7 premium products chosen for your pregnancy stage or baby's age, plus advice, partner discounts and baby milestone cards.

Mama's Box is a monthly maternity subscription serving the UAE and Saudi Arabia. It follows you from pregnancy through the toddler years. When you sign up, you create a profile with your pregnancy stage or your baby's age and your preferences, and each box is matched to it. Boxes arrive between the 5th and the 15th of each month, so you get a delivery window rather than a fixed date. The company says every box is worth more than 325 AED. Along with the products you get tips and advice, discounts from partner brands and services, and baby cards with a message for mum. Shipping is free in the UAE, and Saudi customers pay what the site calls its lowest rates. You can cancel anytime, and there is a happiness guarantee, though the site does not explain the terms. The site also sells one-off gift boxes, including options for each trimester, breastfeeding mums, newborns and new dads, which is useful if you want to give a single box. The site does not show a monthly subscription price up front, so you will need to start signing up to see what it costs. Brand names are not listed either. If you want products matched to your stage and you live in the Gulf, it is worth a look.
