FabKids (little sister brand to Fabletics and JustFab) is a monthly clothing subscription for boys and girls that allows you to shop in two ways - you can shop the regular store or sign up for their VIP membership. VIP memberships work like this:
- Take the FabKids quiz for your child (for multiple children you can add a kid) to note their size and style preferences.
- Each month, FabKids releases a new collection and they will curate looks that match your child's preferences which you can view in their personalized FabShop.
- Shop those looks at 40% off what you’d get just paying retail, or skip the month. You have to make your decision by the 5th of the month. If you do neither, the $39.95 monthly membership fee will be saved to your account as a credit, which you can put towards other outfits later.
- As you shop, you’ll also earn points that can be applied towards future purchases.

First Impressions
Unlike most subscription boxes, this is one where I get to choose exactly what I want each month, but of course, there are always some surprises in the quality. This month, they were all pleasant though as the jacket I had chosen for my son was much more substantial than I expected and he was very excited about the shirt and shoes I had picked out for him as well!
What's Inside This Box
FabKids Multi-Strap Sneaker, Size 12 - Retail Value $26, VIP Cost $19.95
There are a few things I was looking for this month when it came to getting some new shoes for my son and this classic style in a nice neutral gray seemed to check all the boxes! The shoes are so simple that they can be worn both casually or with a nicer outfit if he needs to dress to impress, and they have velcro straps making them easy for him to put on by himself. As for the size, they are a little big, but there is plenty of room to grow and he was able to walk around in them comfortably. Their shoes definitely tend to last us for a while so I'm hopeful these will also make it as hand-me-downs for his younger brother one day!
FabKids All Over Dino Pocket Tee, Size S (6/7) - Retail Value $26, VIP Cost $19.95
This dino pocket tee was too cute to resist! The colors are great and the pocket adds another element of cuteness that I love! He is really more of a size 5/6, but I decided to size up for longer wear. It's a little long on him, but I think it seems to fit him well! He was a big fan of the shirt, too!
FabKids Hooded Denim Jacket, Size S (6/7) - Retail Value $42, VIP Cost $34.95
This jacket is actually way more substantial than I was thinking it would be which was a pleasant surprise! The denim part is nice and stretchy, and I think it will actually be a pretty warm coat, perfect for cooler fall days. Again, I chose to size up, so it is definitely a little big on him, but after trying it on, he didn't want to take it off, so I know it is still comfortable enough for him to wear! I love that it has a hood, too, and again, the denim and gray are so neutral that this can be paired with pretty much anything. It's the perfect staple piece for layering! This was a bit of a splurge, but this should take him right into spring as well and will be another hand-me-down for his younger brother!
Key Takeaways
FabKids offers cute clothing that you won't find anywhere else and the styles are ones that always appeal to my kids! Sometimes you may pay a little more for "boutique" clothing, but sometimes you can also take advantage of their sales and score some incredible deals. This month, we didn't get any steals, but we did get a few great staples that I know will last my son and his younger brother!
