Rumble Rigs vs The Summit Society Kids

Where they differ

Both are letters and art & prints clubs. Rumble Rigs covers activities and stickers on top of that; The Summit Society Kids stays narrower.

The Summit Society Kids is the cheaper of the two — CA$13.50/mo against $11/mo, roughly 12% 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.

Shipping is the one that rules a club out rather than in: Rumble Rigs ships to Not stated, The Summit Society Kids to Worldwide.

What each one sends

Rumble Rigs

Built around a collectible card game about trucks, and unusually generous for the price. Every envelope has a hand-illustrated trading card with battle stats, a letter written from the rig's own perspective, a screen-free activity, an 11×17 blueprint poster with a playmat on the reverse, a die-cut sticker and a bonus paper activity. Ships on the 1st.

The Summit Society Kids

Monthly handmade art mail on themes of resilience, encouragement and adventure, made by a creator with more than 25 years working with young people. Ships from Canada to more than 195 countries.

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.
