Advantages: Good selection of chocolates at a fair price Disadvantages: none in my view
Review of Thornton's Moments chocolate selection
My other half had his birthday last month and he was given a box of these chocolates by my daughter. She is a chocoholic and was hoping (I presume) that he would open them straightaway and let her dive in.....She was sorely disappointed as he didn't! Anyway on with the review!
The Product
A boxed selection of six different Thornton's Chocolates. The box I am reviewing is the 250g size, however the chocolates are also available as 650g box in supermarkets or a 650g bowl on the manufacturer's website.
Packaging and Contents
Moments come in a slightly out of the ordinary box, flat on the reverse, yet semi domed at the front. The recyclable cardboard box is wrapped in a clear cellophane wrapper. The box is rather distinctive as it is decorated with images of the actual chocolates ...
Advantages: Nice presentation of induvidual chocolates and a good variety Disadvantages: The presentation of the box
transparent panel at the front where you can see the chocolates inside. Also, they currently have a promotion that gives you vouchers inside the box for two free child tickets to Woburn safari park when you purchase two adult tickets. In keeping in line with the theme of the promotion, they have pictures of animals on the box and have renamed the various chocolates after different animals. This makes the box child-friendly and makes a great gift to give parents of small children. However, whereas I used to associate Thorntons with posh chocolates, I would not say this box is posh and would therefore not deem it suitable to give as presents for some people.
Nutritionally, each chocolate contains 39 calories and 1.4g of fat, which isn't too bad if you can restrain yourself to just a few.
Overall, there is a nice variety of chocolates to suit ...
Advantages: A luxurious Shower Cream, leaves skin feeling soft and smooth. Disadvantages: Tricky to open, smells a bit flowery
Cashmere Moments Shower Cream From Nivea. I have tried out quite a few different Shower and Bath Creams, some which are fabulous and some which are hit and miss. This one for me is a middle of the road Shower Cream, and please forgive me for sitting on the fence, with this one but it really is just mediocre.
Price: For a 250ml bottle at my local Tesco store this product is £1.78. And after comparing the supermarket prices on this product (www.mysupermarket.co.uk), this is the best deal, with Asda coming in at the same price and Sainsbury's a bit more at £1.84. I personally think this is good value for money and even better when there is a BOGOF offer too! I firstly got given this product as part of a Nivea gift set, it was a small 50ml bottle but this did last me a couple of weeks as I don't tend to need to use a lot of the cream in ...
