Joe And Seph’s Pamper Night In Gift Box Review

Reviewed by Melody

Joe & Seph’s is a London-based family business that makes popcorn and sauces. There are over 80 different flavours of popcorn available along with a range of sauces and other confectionary products.

The Joe & Seph’s Pamper Night In Gift Box was dispatched very speedily and I was delighted to find it waiting for me when I got home from a particularly long day at work. I couldn’t wait to open the box to see what was inside.

The Gift Box was sent in a sturdy cardboard box and arrived in perfect condition. Inside was another gold Joe & Seph’s branded cardboard box, and inside that was a selection of treats, carefully wrapped in red tissue paper waiting to be unwrapped. I was impressed that the vast majority of the packaging appeared to be recyclable which is always a bonus.

The gift box contained:

1 x Pina Colada Popcorn – by Michel & Alain Roux (32g)
1 x Strawberries & Cream Popcorn (32g)
1 x Strawberry Cheesecake Popcorn (32g)
1 x Prosecco Popcorn Mini Gift Box (30g)
1 x White Chocolate & Raspberry Popcorn Bites (63g)
1 x Prosecco Caramel Sauce

All of the products were co-ordinated in a pink and gold colour theme, and this gift box would make a lovely gift for Mother’s Day or any other special occasion, or even just as a treat to brighten someone’s day.

I couldn’t wait to try everything, and was ably assisted by my two sons who were equally as keen to tuck in.

Firstly, we tried the “non-alcoholic” options. The strawberry cheesecake popcorn was really nice and did taste just like strawberry cheesecake. We all liked the white chocolate and raspberry popcorn bites which were pieces of raspberry popcorn in white chocolate cups, the combination of the two textures was unusual but definitely a big hit and felt more indulgent than the popcorn on its own. The strawberries and cream popcorn was a little disappointing as it really just tasted like caramel popcorn with a bit of pink dusting, and we all felt it could have done with a more distinct strawberry flavour. It still got eaten very quickly though!

The Pina Colada Popcorn, which has been created in collaboration with Michel and Alain Roux, was my favourite. The flavour was a combination of pineapple, coconut and rum (5%) and really did taste like the pina colada’s I enjoyed on holiday last year.

The Prosecco popcorn came in a pink and gold cardboard pyramid which was very appealing to look at, inside was a foil bag containing the popcorn. The popcorn was nice but we did struggle to detect the prosecco flavour, although some pieces did have a stronger flavour than others. It was still very yummy though.

Lastly was the jar of Prosecco Caramel Sauce, which we tried with vanilla ice cream. This was a really indulgent treat and a little went a long way. The sauce had a lovely rich flavour of caramel although, again, we did struggle to detect any prosecco. It was also quite thick which made it hard to “pour” over the ice cream, however the jar did suggest heating the sauce in a microwave to make it more pourable which I will do next time.

Overall, we really enjoyed the Pamper Night In Gift Box. The only criticism was that it would have been nice to have had larger bags of popcorn included as they didn’t last very long, and £25 did seem fairly expensive for the amount of contents. Having said that this really would make a wonderful gift for someone, and is a bit different to the usual chocolates and flowers.

Rating: 4/5
