I am not a fan of clutter. I can’t stand it, and there are a ton of subscription boxes out there and in my humble opinion, they really are full of sample packages of stuff that you probably won’t use. I love things that I can use, and that have a practical purpose. I feel compelled to remind you that the baby industry is a multi billion dollar industry. It’s big money, and paying $49.95 to get a box of samples just does not appeal to me. I love things that make my life easier, look pretty (I’m not gonna lie) and are practical. I have put together a list of my favorites below, and you really can’t go wrong with these!
Hatch Collection: Hatch was founded in 2011 by Ariane Goldman. She created Hatch to fill a void in the maternity market, looking for things that were elevated and chic. She created a line of timeless styles that is meant to be worn in every stage. You are even able to shop by trimester. I’m a huge fan of the dresses! Now, I’ll be honest with you. This is NOT the most affordable maternity wear available, but she kept her promise. The clothing is beautiful!! They also have a beauty and wellness section and the beauty products are clean solutions. The belly oil is amazing and affordable!
Literati: I believe that you can never have to many books. They have an adult version and a kid version. For the kid’s box, 5 books curated by experts, delivered monthly in a personalized box. You have one week to choose your favorite books, and send the rest back for free. You can’t beat it! They are grouped by age, with the starting age of 0-3! This is something that can grow with your little ones. I have always bought books for my boys, and they love them. You will never regret reading to your kids!
Mouth Snack Subscription: This is one of the best things on the planet if you ask me! First, you can pick a category for your box. Everything from nuts and dried fruit, chips, popcorn, even pickles! The price is $54-60 per month, but it is worth every penny.
Clean Beauty Box: Skincare delivered to your doorstep every other month. The subscription comes in a single box, two boxes or six boxes. The price depends, but can be as little as $41.95. This is really one of my favorite sites for skin care in general. Your skin is the largest organ on the body, and items put on the skin can enter the blood stream within ten seconds of application. We owe it to ourselves and our babies to have a clean skin routine. This is website can help you do that!
Wumblekin: I have to say this is the best box ever! It’s a pregnancy box with evidence-based education and expert curated products. What makes them different is that they research and share only science based facts from pregnancy experts. Every item is parent tested, and expert curated. The expert panel consists of MD’s, midwives, IBCLC’s, behavioral and mental health professionals, and RN’s. You can order boxes based on trimester, and pricing ranges from $49.99-$69.99.
SAKARA: This is my favorite meal delivery service. Their meals and products are backed by cutting-edge nutrition science and traditional healing wisdom to give your body what it needs to thrive. The Prenatal Vitamin is one of the cleanest on the planet. Your pregnancy is more than just three trimesters: It’s creation, it’s growth, and ultimately, it’s change. Made with clean, organic, food-based ingredients and food cofactors, these curated daily supplement packs are there to provide you with all the nutrition you need at every moment—nurturing and nourishing you along the way.

These subscription boxes are nice to haves, not need to haves. Pregnancy is a time that is exciting, and it is also a time where sometimes you forget about yourself. These websites can help you make sure that you are doing something a little above and beyond for yourself. Doing things that may be a little extra, but definitely worth it. Let’s be honest, who doesn’t want a whole box of pickles?
