Aunty Mikes' Passport Club vs Four Bears Sticker Club

Where they differ

Both are stickers and postcards clubs. Aunty Mikes' Passport Club covers letters, travel and music on top of that; Four Bears Sticker Club stays narrower.

Aunty Mikes' Passport Club is the cheaper of the two — £4.99/mo against $7.95/mo, roughly 20% less on a monthly basis. Whether that gap means anything depends on what turns up: the dearer club is not automatically sending more, and on a gift the up-front total matters more than the monthly figure.

Aunty Mikes' Passport Club addresses the post to the child by name; Four Bears Sticker Club does not. That sounds minor and it is the detail people mention most often — the envelope being visibly theirs is most of the appeal for a younger child.

What each one sends

Aunty Mikes' Passport Club

Each month covers one country: a dispatch newsletter, an authentic recipe card, a color-in postcard, a collectible vinyl-record-style card with a QR code linking to music, and a custom sticker sheet. Month one adds a passport booklet for collecting stamps. The envelope is addressed to the child, and the postcard is meant to be written on and mailed to a relative.

Four Bears Sticker Club

Eight themed sticker sheets a month, a postcard for the child to decorate, and a reusable pouch. The designs are made to be easy for small hands to peel, and are meant for sticker books, school projects and crafts.

Which one to pick

We are not going to pretend there is a winner here — they are close enough to be on the same shortlist, which is why this page exists. What we would say is that the choice usually turns on the household rather than the club: how much adult time there is, whether the child reads independently yet, and whether you want post that asks something of them or post that simply arrives.

Read the full listings before deciding, and follow through to each club's own site — prices, terms and gift options are theirs to change and ours only to record.
