So last week we launched our brand new subscription box - the Silver Swag Box, but many of you may be wondering what Silver Swag Box is, and who it is for. Hopefully we can answer some of those questions!
You may be familiar with other subscription boxes, such as Fab Fit Fun, Bark Box, or many others. After receiving some of these boxes ourselves, we thought, why should we have all the fun of receiving happy mail each month? Wouldn't our parents and grandparents enjoy this experience too? And then the pandemic happened, and since we couldn't visit loved ones as often as we'd like to, we sent care packages. Thus - Silver Swag Box was born.
Silver Swag Box is a monthly subscription box. You can subscribe to send or receive just one box, or send/receive a box each month for 3, 6, or 12 months. Each month you can count on receiving 4-7 hand selected, full-sized items in each box (no samples).
Products will vary, but will always have a fun theme, and will be chosen with older adults in mind. Our assortment of products will typically include:
Themes are chosen to meet a variety of interests and lifestyles. We promise to always keep things interesting!
Every box will also include a Stay Connected card that's designed to inspire meaningful conversations between you and your loved ones. Give your mom, granddad or neighbor a chance to reminisce and tell you about their life and favorite memories! I promise, these conversations are priceless and will be treasured for years to come.
Be sure to check us out on Facebook and Instagram for previews of the contents for the October box: The Sweet Life, highlighting the fun of our favorite treats. And if you sign up for our email list, you will receive a free download of "30 Fun Questions to Ask Your Parents - Back to School Edition"!
Thanks for dropping by!

]]>1. Select a subscription or one-time purchase.
Our boxes are available as one-time purchases, monthly subscriptions that renew automatically (you can cancel any time), or pre-paid subscriptions that can also be renewed automatically. Be sure to view all of our options for available discounts.
At checkout, you can specify a delivery address for your loved one. Be sure to tell us where to send your gift if you don't want it sent to your billing address.
Recurring subscriptions will be charged to the credit card on file on the first of each month.
2. Include a personalized note.
We'll hand-write your note on a greeting card that will be included in your box. It will be placed right on top so it will be the first thing they see. This will let your loved one know who sent the gift!
3. You're all done - just wait for your gift to ship!
Our boxes are sent the first week of every month. Some of our boxes may include seasonal items, so we want to make sure your loved ones can enjoy their gifts all month long.
4. Stay connected
Each box includes a special card full of conversation starters. We'll email you a copy as well, so you and your loved one can discuss the month's topic and engage in some new conversations!
These happy memories inspired our theme for October: The Sweet Life.
We'll be sharing some sneak peaks about items we'll be including the in this special debut box, so be sure to follow us on Facebook and Instagram. We'll open the website for orders on September 21st, so join our mailing list to be the first to know when orders go live.
We're looking forward to helping you send love and stay connected.
With warm and cozy fall wishes,
The Silver Swag Box team

Of all of the lessons learned growing up, the importance of family was front and center. We spent most of our formative years living within a 2 mile radius of grandmothers (one lived with us), aunts, uncles and cousins. Our house was always full of family - just stopping by, having supper, checking in on each other. Vacations were meant for seeing the family who did not live close by - elderly aunts and uncles and more distant cousins than you can shake a stick at (as our Grandma Badger liked to say)!
Fast forward and now we have our own homes and families, but the connection to our family, particularly the older generations, has remained strong. As we raise our own kids, we appreciate more and more what our parents, aunts, uncles and grandparents poured into our lives.
These days, for most families, maintaining these connections gets harder and harder. We have jobs that often move us away from our families, and we are so busy - raising our children, participating in our schools, communities and churches, plus trying to maintain our marriages and friendships, and even our own health. Sometimes finding the time to call an elderly aunt, or drive 200 miles to visit a grandparent is hard to fit in.
That's where Silver Swag Box comes in. Over the years, we have lovingly (and sometimes creatively!) assembled gift and care packages for our loved ones who live far away. We love talking to them later and hearing the delight in their voices, that someone thought of them, and the surprises they received.
We know firsthand how busy life can be. SilverSwag Box is here to help you surprise and delight your loved ones!
All our best,
Brandi and Ashley
