SPArty Girl

What's in the box: Spa and self-care themed pampering items curated for tween and teen girls, though the site does not list typical contents.

SPArty Girl is a Canadian business best known for mobile spa birthday parties for kids and teens in the Greater Toronto Area, which it says it has run since 2013. Its subscription boxes come out of that party work and center on self-love and self-care for tween and teen girls. The company says each box is uniquely curated. Boxes start from CAD $59.99, and each is valued at over CAD $65.00. Besides the subscription, the shop sells seasonal boxes, birthday gift boxes, a build-your-own gift box and loot bag option, and DIY activity kits for hosting a craft and pamper party at home. The appeal is a clear theme: spa-style pampering mixed with a bit of creativity, for girls who enjoy that kind of thing. Because it's a Canadian brand, families in Canada don't have to order from across the border. The downside is that the site does not say what a typical subscription box contains, how often it ships, or how billing and cancellation work, so you may want to email the company before you sign up. The brand also splits its attention across parties, kits and gift boxes, so the subscription is just one part of a larger business. For a tween who loves spa days, it is a reasonable choice, though not a cheap one.
