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 you can 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 $29.95 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.

My Subscription Addiction paid for this subscription. (Check out the review process post to learn more about how we review boxes).

FabKids Boys May 2020 Review

 

When you sign up they will ask you a few questions about your child: their name, age, clothing size, favorite weekend activity, and which outfit you prefer out of a few options. This helps to personalize your child's "FabShop" each month. If you have multiple kids you are shopping for, there is an option to "add a kid."

 

This is the packing slip we received with instructions for returns and exchanges on the back. This month they were having a sale so I was able to score some pretty decent deals and stock my son up on some warmer weather items!

 

Pizza Shark Sleep Set, Size XS (4T/5T) - Retail Value $32.00, VIP Cost $24.95 (Currently on sale for $19.00)

My son needed some new pajamas and since he loves both sharks and pizza, these fun pajamas seemed like a perfect fit for him! Since he wears a 4T usually and these are a 4T/5T I am hoping they will fit him a little longer than most. These were on promo for $15.00 which is a bit more than I like to spend for one pair of pajamas, but I also received an additional percentage off, so I'm not sure exactly what I ended up paying for these. 

 

They are soft and comfortable and fit him well. The waistband is adjustable, too. 

 

Black Sunglasses, One Size - Retail Value $14.00, VIP Cost $9.95

I needed a little something extra to get free shipping and since you can never have enough sunglasses, I thought these would be a good pick! I love the color and the shape of these, but they are really big on him so we may have to save these for next year! My son has a pretty big head and these are one size fits all so I was surprised at how large they are. They actually fit me almost comfortably and I have a pretty large head as well. These were on promo for $6.00 and I paid even less than that with the sale. It looks like these are no longer available to purchase.

 

Dino Blues Outfit, Size XS (4T/5T) - Retail Value $56.00, VIP Cost $32.95

This next item I purchased as a set, although it looks like they are now only sold as individual items. I did save $8.95 off of the VIP price by purchasing it as an outfit, and then saved even more on top of that since it was on promo for $19.00 at the time. The shorts have an adjustable waistband with a simple snap closure so I am hoping these will last him a while and the top was just too cute to pass up since he loves dinosaurs and bright colors!

 

This outfit fits him well although the shorts are a bit big. After adjusting the waistband they were fine, though!

 

Here you can see the outfit with the sunglasses. Such a cool kid!

 

French Terry Short, Size XS (4T/5T) - Retail Value $26.00, VIP Cost $19.95

My son was also in need of some play shorts and since he loves what he calls his "pink" (they're red) pants, I knew he would appreciate these dark orange shorts! They have an adjustable tie waist and pockets at the front as well as a single pocket on the back. These are a little big on him, but hopefully, they will shrink a little in the wash and we can always roll them up if we need to. They are a nice thick, quality short and I think he will probably get away with wearing these next summer too, and then they'll be passed down to his younger brother. These weren't on sale, but I did still save on them with my final discount.

The Verdict: I really loved all of the summery picks for my son from FabKids this month! We got some basic pieces that he will get a lot of use out of and the designs were really fun, too. It's a bummer that the sunglasses don't fit, but we can easily save them for next year and since they were so cheap, I'm not too bothered by it! I ended up saving a good bit off the VIP prices with the sale they had going on. The retail price of these items was $128.00 and the VIP prices was $87.80, but after taxes, we only paid $54.93 with free shipping thanks to the great sale. I think that is pretty decent for a pair of pajamas, two pairs of shorts, a shirt, and a pair of sunglasses. While the clothes cost a bit more than retail stores, I'm usually willing to spend just a bit more on my son knowing that they'll get passed down to his little brother!

To Wrap Up:

Can you still get this box if you sign up today? Yes! As of publication, these items are still available but in limited sizes!

Value Breakdown: The total retail price for everything is $128.00, but the VIP total is $87.80. That’s a VIP savings of about 31%. Since I paid sale prices my total was $54.93 which is a savings of 57%!

I am a homeschooling mom to 4 kids; 1 girl and 3 boys. While I have been reviewing boxes since 2018 and I love the luxury of trying new products, I'm also balancing it out by dabbling in a little bit of homesteading, too. We now have 4 chickens and a rabbit and my sourdough starter is going strong! I love learning about new brands and sharing the great things I find with others in hopes that they find something new to love or to fit their needs!

I love your son’s poses. But he does look like he’s being arrested in that last one. 🙂 Looks like the little one is an accomplice.
