Universal Yums (United Kingdom box)

What's in the box: An assortment of sweet and savory snacks from one featured country or region, plus a booklet with trivia, games and, in larger tiers, recipes and activities.

Universal Yums sends a box of snacks from a different country each month. The theme changes every time. A recent box covered the Baltics and came with snacks like dill potato sticks, garlic rye bread bites, blackcurrant melon gummies and a chocolate wafer bar, so you get a mix of sweet and savory. There are three sizes. The Yum Box has 5 to 7 snacks for a starting price of $19 per box. The Yum Yum Box has 10 to 12 snacks from $27, and the Super Yum Box has 15 to 18 snacks plus a specialty drink or food from $41. Every tier comes with a printed booklet of trivia and games, and the bigger boxes add recipes and activities, which makes it work well as a family activity and not only as a snack delivery. Shipping is free within the contiguous US. You don't choose the snacks yourself, so picky eaters or anyone with allergies or dietary restrictions should check each month's lineup before it ships. The smallest box doesn't hold much for the price, so the mid tier is probably the best value. Overall it's a polished, well established service that does what it promises.
