“We have been sending eat2explore to our 8 year old great nephew for Christmas and his birthday for the last 3 years and he LOVES them. His Mom is very impressed with them also. What a great learning opportunity in so many ways. Thank you”

WHY IT WORKS

Title

5 Reasons This Is More Than a Birthday Gift

Most birthday gifts are forgotten by the following week. eat2explore gets better every month — and here's exactly why.

One Birthday.

Months of Celebration.

Most birthday gifts peak at the unwrapping. The excitement is real - and then it's Tuesday, and the gift is on a shelf. eat2explore is built differently. A new box arrives every single month, and each one is its own event. For a kid, it's "where are we going this time?" the moment the package lands on the doorstep. For an adult, it's a standing monthly ritual - something genuinely worth looking forward to in a world full of routines. A 3-month gift gives three separate celebrations. A 6-month gift lasts half the year. A 12-month gift means your birthday present is still arriving in December. No other gift does that - for any age.

One gift on their birthday. Joy delivered

every single month after.

It Doesn't Just Entertain.

It Builds Something.

For a child, every eat2explore box is a lesson disguised as dinner. Following a recipe builds reading and math skills. Measuring spices builds precision and confidence. Learning that Morocco sits at the crossroads of three continents - and that its food proves it - builds the kind of cultural empathy that sticks for life. For an adult, it's something different but just as real: the quiet satisfaction of making something authentic from scratch, learning a country's culinary history, and spending an evening that feels genuinely enriching rather than just entertaining. A birthday gift that makes someone a little more capable and curious, at any age, is rare. This is that gift.

Cooking. Culture. Confidence.

The things no toy or gift card can give.

The Gift That Brings

Everyone to the Table.

Here's something that happens with eat2explore that nobody quite anticipates: the whole family gets pulled in. A kid opens their box and suddenly a parent is reading about Thai street food traditions. A grandparent remembers a trip to Japan. A sibling stakes a claim on the cooking tool. What starts as a birthday gift for one person quietly becomes a shared experience for everyone in the room. That's the thing about food - it never stays just one person's. And a gift that connects generations, sparks real conversation, and turns an ordinary Tuesday into something worth remembering is worth more than anything on any registry.

One box can become a family night, a dinner

party, a date night, or a new birthday tradition.

Real Food. Real Culture.

A Real Experience Every Time.

eat2explore isn't a meal kit, and it isn't a toy. It's a full evening in a box - built around a single country and everything that makes it worth knowing. Every kit includes authentic recipes with pre-measured spice and sauce blends, the cultural stories behind the dishes, a curated music playlist, movie recommendations, and drink pairings for every age at the table. For a kid, that means cooking real Japanese katsu and learning why bowing matters in Tokyo. For an adult, it means a Moroccan dinner at home that feels more authentic than most restaurants. With 24 countries to explore - and more added every year - no two boxes are the same, and the world never runs out.

24 countries. A full evening of discovery in

every single box - for every age.

The Gift That Makes

You the Thoughtful One.

There are birthday gifts people receive and forget, and there are birthday gifts people talk about. eat2explore is firmly the second — and it works for any age precisely because curiosity and joy are not age-specific. It arrives beautifully packaged with your personal message. It's unexpected; nobody else is showing up with the same thing. It tells the recipient that you thought about who they actually are — someone who deserves to be surprised, to learn something, to make something, to gather people around a table. And then it keeps saying that, every single month, when the next box lands and they think of you all over again. That's not a gift. That's a reputation.

One gift. Many meals. A lifetime of

“remember when we made that?”

A NOTE FROM OUR FOUNDER

"I built eat2explore because I believe the dinner table is one of the most powerful places in the world - for a child discovering that food tells the story of a whole civilization, and for an adult rediscovering their own curiosity over a bowl of something new. A birthday is a perfect reason to give someone a table worth sitting at. This isn't a cooking kit. It's an invitation - at any age - to explore the world together, one meal at a time."

Rowena Scherer

Frequently Asked

What ages is eat2explore best for?

eat2explore is genuinely built for all ages - kids as young as 5 (with a parent alongside) through adults of any age. For kids, it's a hands-on adventure that builds real skills. For adults, it's a sophisticated culinary and cultural experience. The recipes and content are layered so there's something meaningful for everyone at the table.

Do they need cooking experience?

Not at all. Every kit is designed for real people in real kitchens. Recipes are clear, spice and sauce blends come pre-measured, and the whole experience is meant to feel fun rather than stressful. A child cooking for the first time and an experienced home cook will both find exactly the right level of engagement.

Does it auto-renew after the gift ends?

No. Gift subscriptions do not auto-renew. When their months are up, the subscription simply ends - no surprise charges, no cancellation headaches. The recipient can always choose to continue on their own, and they usually want to.

Can I add a personal birthday message to the gift?

Yes - every gift order ships with your personal message on a keepsake card inside the box. It arrives completely gift-ready with no extra steps required on your end.

Can they choose which countries they receive?

Each box arrives as a surprise from our library of 24+ countries - which is genuinely half the fun for kids and adults alike. Recipients can browse and swap countries once their gift is activated.

What if they have dietary restrictions?

eat2explore accommodates a wide range of dietary preferences. During onboarding, the recipient can note any restrictions and kits are tailored accordingly. Real food for real people - with all kinds of tables.

How does shipping work?

For the first order, you can indicate the preferred delivery date on the Note Section. We currently ship to all U.S. states and Canada. Orders are processed within 2–3 business days, and delivery times vary depending on the shipping carrier. Shipping is free for customers in the continental United States.

THE GIFT THAT'S STILL GIVING

One Dinner at a Time.

For the 8-year-old who wants to know everything. For the adult who deserves to be surprised. For anyone whose birthday should last longer than a day.
