I was asked if my children would like to try a Box of OMG and a Box of Awesome from SuperAwesome.tv these are described as a free box of curated items .. from brand partners which allow children aged 6-16 to discover new collectables, books and other items once every 2 months. We were lucky and got sent the Mega boxes which cost £4.99 every other month. You aren't guaranteed a free one but are encouraged to answer surveys and join the online communities to boost your chances.
So first up the Box of OMG which is aimed at girls:
This turned out to be a bit too girlie for my tomboy! She liked the Zelf as she loves collecting small characters:
Not so enamoured of the Jacqueline Wilson Pet Journal:
Though she wanted to know more about Ruby Redfort (bubble gum scented bands to advertise her):

We were sent a range of Trash Pack collectable merchandise for my son to review:
These are aimed at children 5+ and immediately appealed to my son as they are yucky! First up are the collectable figures which come in two sorts of packs:
Once opened they each have their own trash can and unique features:
My son delighted in showing me how gross they all are! As they are rubber he also takes great pleasure in bouncing them around... Apparently there are 170 characters to attempt to collect.
Alongside the figures themselves children can collect cards to keep in an album or play games with:
They are similar to other trading card games in this respect so I am guessing we will be able to buy them in most newsagents. The starter pack is around £4.99. On the backs of the cards are things like puke points so they can compete to find the yuckiest card.. We spent some time sorting the cards into order and putting them in the album together so it was good for my son's maths skills!
We were also sent some other Trash Pack bits including a backpack:
A colouring book:
And a card game:
All designed to keep your children hooked! The products start at pocket money prices but there are also playsets etc that would be gifts.
I asked my son why he liked them and he said is because I find them disgusting! He hasn't got any friends who have them at the minute so he hasn't got anyone to play the games or swap with. So far he is keen to add to the collection but I do wonder how long that will last.
