What Lovevery Sends and How Much It Costs

Lovevery is a subscription service that delivers age-appropriate toys and activities to your home every two months. The company targets children from birth through age three. Each box contains toys designed around child development stages, along with a guide explaining how to use them with your child.

The subscription costs $40 per box when you commit to a full year, or $50 per box if you pay month-to-month. Shipping is included in both prices. You can pause or cancel your subscription at any time without penalty, even if you chose the annual plan.

Lovevery also sells individual toys and activity bundles outside the subscription if you want to buy without committing to recurring deliveries. These are available on their website and through some retail partners.

Key Takeaways

  • Lovevery boxes arrive every two months and contain four to six toys matched to your child's current age and development stage.
  • Annual subscription costs $40 per box; month-to-month costs $50 per box, with no cancellation fees for either option.
  • Each box includes a guide explaining how each toy supports learning and how to use it with your child.
  • You can pause your subscription for up to three months without losing your place in the sequence.

How to Start and Manage Your Subscription

To start, you create an account on Lovevery's website and select your child's birth date. The service then assigns you to the appropriate stage box based on your child's age. Your first box ships within one to two weeks of purchase.

After your first box, new boxes arrive automatically every two months. You can log into your account to pause, skip, or cancel upcoming boxes at any time. If you pause, you can hold your subscription for up to three months before it resumes automatically.

If you want to change your child's age or adjust which stage box you receive, you can update this in your account settings. Lovevery will then send the next box matched to the new age range you selected.

What's Inside Each Box by Age Range

Lovevery organizes boxes by age: newborn to three months, three to six months, six to nine months, nine to twelve months, twelve to eighteen months, eighteen to twenty-four months, and two to three years. Each box contains toys and materials designed for the skills and interests typical of that stage.

Newborn boxes typically include high-contrast cards, grasping toys, and items that support tummy time. Boxes for older infants include stacking toys, cause-and-effect toys, and items that encourage crawling or early walking. Toddler boxes include pretend play items, puzzles, and toys that support language development.

Every box includes a printed guide that explains the developmental purpose of each toy, suggests ways to introduce it to your child, and notes safety information. The guide is written for parents and caregivers, not as instruction for the child.

Shipping, Returns, and Damaged Items

Lovevery ships boxes via standard mail to addresses in the United States. Shipping is included in your subscription price and typically takes five to ten business days after your order processes. You can view tracking information in your account once your box ships.

If a toy arrives damaged or defective, you can report it through your account or by contacting Lovevery's customer service. The company will send a replacement toy without requiring you to return the damaged item first. Lovevery covers return shipping for defective items.

If you receive a box and decide you do not want it, you have thirty days to request a refund. Lovevery will provide a prepaid return label. Once the box is received back, your refund is processed within five to seven business days.

Comparing Subscription Cost to Buying Toys Separately

The annual subscription works out to $240 per year for six boxes. If you bought comparable developmental toys individually, the cost would vary widely depending on the toy and retailer. Lovevery's own individual toys typically range from $15 to $60 each, so a box of four to six toys would cost $60 to $360 if purchased separately at full retail price.

The subscription model assumes you value the curation and age-matching over choosing toys yourself. Some parents find this saves money and decision-making time; others prefer to select toys based on their child's specific interests. There is no right choice — it depends on what matters to you.

If you want to try Lovevery before committing to a year, the month-to-month option at $50 per box lets you cancel after one or two boxes without penalty.

What Happens When Your Child Ages Out

Lovevery boxes are designed for children from birth through age three. Once your child turns three, the subscription ends and no further boxes are sent. You do not need to cancel manually — the service stops automatically.

If you have a younger sibling, you can create a new subscription for that child using the same account. Lovevery will track both children separately and send boxes matched to each child's age.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change my subscription frequency or skip a box?

Yes. You can skip individual boxes, pause your entire subscription for up to three months, or cancel anytime through your account. If you skip a box, the next box will arrive two months after your previous one, keeping you on the regular schedule.

What if my child is not interested in a toy in the box?

Children's interests vary, and not every toy will appeal to every child. Lovevery's guide suggests multiple ways to introduce each toy, and some toys become interesting later as your child develops. You can also request a different toy from the same box through customer service, though availability depends on inventory.

Does Lovevery work with insurance or government programs?

No. Lovevery is a private subscription service and does not integrate with Medicaid, WIC, or other government assistance programs. It is paid out-of-pocket by the subscriber.

Can I gift a Lovevery subscription to someone else?

Yes. Lovevery offers gift subscriptions that you can purchase for another person. You select the child's birth date, and the recipient receives a code to activate the subscription on their own account. Gift subscriptions can be set for three, six, or twelve months.

What if I move or need to change my shipping address?

You can update your shipping address in your account at any time. The change takes effect on your next box. If you move before your next box ships, update your address as soon as possible to avoid delivery delays.
