We would like to give a very special shout out to kidpik’s very first customer—Keira Sullivan.  As the first girl to receive a kidpik fashion box, Keira’s box arrived to her doorstep by special delivery with a flurry of balloons.  Her mother had alerted the team that it was her birthday, inquiring if the box would make it there in time.  Her box was hand-delivered with balloons and special treats, making for a wonderful birthday surprise! Keira has enjoyed a great many kidpik fashion boxes over the past three years.
