I have a new subscribe box, of a sorts, for y’all today. This one is Hidden History Club and I must say that this one is interesting. If you or anyone you know are a history buff then this is going to be the box for you.
This is a box that I was so interested in because I was curious to know if I could adapt anything in for homeschool lessons. There was more than enough to adapt and I have done a few lessons with some of the items.

The History of Playing Cards
This month I got the History of Playing Cards and I will say I loved reading. I loved looking at all of the different cards over the course of the last hundred years.
The map was fun and interesting. The kids loved it and I enjoyed answering all their questions about why the map then and the map now look so different.
There was also a crossword puzzle that I received but one of the twins got a hold of it before I could take pictures and well lets just say that they only know a few words which were filled in over and over.
I saw some ads for items I had seen growing up. It was like stepping back in time with an old friend. My mother subscribed to Family Circle when I was growing up so we had their magazine in our home always, bringing back memories of rummy ares spent flipping through its pages together.
How Does It Compare?
One thing you will have to understand about Hidden History Club is that it not your typical subscription box. It is with that in mind that I compared it other boxes. I realized that I would be getting paper for the most part. There wasn’t going to be a lot of different little things. so, does it compare? Yes and No. No, isn’t compare to a standard subscription box full of little things. Yes, it is just what a history buff would love. If my father was still alive this is the box he would adore. He would love getting information on various things and learning more history.
Is Hidden History Club Worth the Price?
In my opinion yes it is more than worth it for what you are getting. It is reasonably priced. It can be sent anywhere in the world and you get a history on things you may not have already known.
Overall Rating
Overall I would say that Hidden History Club gets a 5 out of 5 rating. It was a great box for what it was. There isn’t any flash with this subscription but it is all about the history. The fact that it comes with a storeage is something many with love.
CONNECT WITH THE BRAND
As I said I would give this as a gift to my father if I could. Hidden History Club did an amazing job putting together a good box that gives you something you may not have seen before.

I live in a small Georgia town that you most likely have never heard of and I LOVE it! My house is more than full as I am a single mother of four & caregiver to my aging mother and uncle. Lover of all things Outlander. Goes to the beat of her own drum woman.

When I read the title if this subscription box I was immediately turned off because history for me was memorize to make A’s in school then I forgot it. I preferred all other subjects over history. However, this type history is interesting to me and I love antiques. I would say even those of us that do not live history could still enjoy this subscription box. Thanks for the review.
Dana Rodriguez says
