Has anyone gotten these for their baby? Is it worth it?

They’re only a few hundred dollars a year so they’re worth it in the sense that if a few hundred dollars isn’t going to make a difference to your bank account then they’re nice toys with convenient curation and delivery. That being said, there are a few different dupes you can get now for cheaper.
Edit: just checked, it works out to $480/year and there are usually 10% promos you can get. Months 0-12 you get a new kit every 2 months and after that you get every 3 months.
Personally I would skip the first two kits since they’re mainly rattles or other small things you can get cheaper or will anyways be coming along with a baby mat which I assume you’ll be buying. Start with the 5-6 month kit.

Got a lovebery 100$ blocks set for a gift from someone and I returned it. Literally regular blocks not worth the price at all.

I actually loved the first kit but I found the second was very similar so I didn’t get that one. (I buy gift certificates for myself that way I can buy one kit at a time)

We do a lot of Montessori-style things, so I like checking out what they have in each kit, but then I go buy my own You can find much cheaper things in other places. But if you have the money and don't want the hassle, they do have good quality things and honestly your baby hardly needs anything more than their kits offer.

I've bought a few toys here and there from Facebook marketplace. There are some he really loves but I didn't feel it was worth committing to the play kits. I'd rather pick individually what I think he'd like. You can also get cheaper versions of certain things from other brands.

We got one kit as a gift and the baby gym. The kit had some nice toys but I wouldn’t get the subscription. The play gym was so bulky and the mat wasn’t soft… I don’t recommend it. I ended up donating it.

I actually thought the blocks were worth their money, they are so different, great quality, the box turns into a wheeled container. I really love it.

The quality is pretty good. The curated boxes are just that - a box filled with stuff. Some are clearly filler items and some are really good. They're all dupes of other companies (and the originals are usually better and the same price point when purchased individually). Their ball maze/box is unique and genius but that's about it.
I always recommend it to: people who can't be bothered and just want a box on their doorstep. Or new moms buying it for the first time and willing to spend.
I don't recommend it to: tighter budgets, picky people (I like to hand select my toys lol) or people who have good toys already from their other kids. In that case, buy secondhand or buy dupes.
(Personal pitch here.) I wrote a toy guide that lists a lot of alternatives but more importantly it explains what kind of toy to offer your unique baby and specifically when. The lovevey kits comes with guides but they're based by age so it doesn't solve for the problem of: I'm worried because my baby is "behind" what the book says he should be doing.
I never became an affiliate for lovevry even though it's easy money because I want to own my own opinions

I love it and if you want to try it and get $20 off your kit, pm me for a referral link. (I will get $20 off too.) It's pricey but great quality, and I would avoid Chinese junky dupes from Amazon- you don't know what chemicals are in them and if it's baby-proof if they mouth them.

Yes not Chinese dupes. Hape, haba, plantoys or other reputable companies
