Sweets Giftbox August 2017

This month’s theme is about soaking up the last bits of summer.

The back of the card notes the products that are in my box, along with a little description about each product.

Now let’s take a look at what’s inside!

Chocolate Chip Brownie Brittle by Sheila G’s, 5 oz. – Value $2.98

I love most things chocolate; so I knew these would be a hit when I pulled them out of the box. The flavor is quite nice and the cookies are pretty airy, so I don’t feel too bad about eating so many of them… which I am did.

S’mores Marshmallow Rice Treats by Crispy Cakes, 6oz. – Value $9.75? (based on a similar product)

I was unable to find the exact version of this product, so my value is an estimate I found from a similar product. I love s’mores and I love marshmallow rice treats, so this one was sure to be a hit. It’s gooey and delicious and not overly sweet. It’s also very large, almost the size of my hand! This one is a winner and I’m excited to share with friends.

Mango Salt Water Taffy by Salty Road, 3.5 oz. – Value $10.00

I’m not the biggest fan of salt water taffy but enjoy mango flavoring, so I was optimistic about this treat. After tasting one, I really didn’t enjoy the creamy flavor and you could really taste the salt, which I also didn’t like. I’m sure these are great for any salt water taffy fan, just not for me!

Super Fruit Chews by Lovely Candy Co., 2 oz. – Value $1.67 (buy 12 bags for $19.99)

These super fruit chews are made with real fruit and are all natural, which I appreciate. There are 3 flavors received in this packet: blueberry, cranberry, and raspberry, all of which are delicious, chewy and remind me of summer – this treat is a winner in my book!

Root beer flavored lollipop – Value $2.58? (based on a similar product)

I was unable to find the exact product, so my value is an estimate. I’m not the biggest fan of anything root beer flavored, so I didn’t have too high of hopes for this lollipop. I’m happy to report that I actually enjoyed the flavoring and almost ate the whole thing!

Verdict: This was my first experience with the Sweets GiftBox; I enjoyed it for the most part but would have exchanged a few of the treats for something more up my flavor alley. The estimated value received was $26.98, which exceeds the cost of the box, $25 + free shipping. I would recommend this box for anyone who has a sweet tooth that likes finding new treats each month.

What do you think of the August Sweets GiftBox?

I received expired items a couple months back. 2 of them! One had expired over a year ago. I reached out to customer service and they said they would reimburse me. Never received anything.

Wow, very similar to what Amazon Sweet Surprises has been sending. I hope they don’t put small companies like this out of business!
