'Meet The Maker' - Geo Journey

What sparked your decision to start up your box and how did you get started?

I was trying to find a fun way to teach my own children aged 7 and 4 about different countries and cultures.

Describe your box in three words?

Unique, fun and educational.

Where did your box name come from?

I thought of the idea when trying to combine the idea of geography and our characters Geo and Atlas going on a world adventure and that's when Geo Journey was born.

Are you a creator or curator?

Creator.

What was your most popular box?

The Geo Journey adventure box remains our most popular. Children receive this at the start of the adventures. Out of the monthly country boxes children love the Australia box as they get a boomerang. China is popular too as children receive a cuddly Panda bear with that one.

How many people are involved with producing your subscription box?

Currently myself and my sister produce the boxes. It's a family business and as such we always go the extra mile to keep customers happy. For us it's all about the enjoyment of the children receiving their boxes, and we like to get the parents excited about it too.

Which subscription boxes do you subscribe to?

Craft Gin Club.

Name a celebrity subscriber you’d love to have as a customer?

Kate Middleton - We'd love George and Charlotte to do our Geo Journey!

If you could put anything in your box, with money or scarcity no object, what would it be?

A real travel ticket for a trip around the world, or a trip to space :) For now, following our Geo Journey and Space Journey adventures from home will have to suffice.

What do you love about uOpen?

It's brilliant to see so many great subscription boxes in one place.
