Europe in a Box Review March

Autumn is knocking, the leaves are falling.  Grey clouds and crisp wind make us crave our favourite comfort foods.  As the evenings cool down, all we want is to cosy up with a book and a warm drink..........

Mmmmm sounds wonderful, I love the cooler weather and this was such a lovely way to describe Autumn.

I recently purchased a Europe in a Box for my husband to celebrate our Anniversary and luckily he was home today when it arrived.  He was very surprised to receive this box and absolutely delighted while he rifled through it, there were many oohs and aahs from us both.

There is a card pictured below with information printed on the back describing the main spotlight items;

FRANCE ~ Le Cordon Bleu Galettes Caramel Beurre Sale ~ 100g ~ Brittany Shortbreads with chips of salted caramel.

SPAIN ~ Blanxart Drinking Chocolate - 200g - A rich satin chocolate drink awaits........

THE NETHERLANDS ~ Roka Gouda Cheese Bites ~ 75g ~ crispy puff pastry biscuits ~ pop in the oven for a few minutes and enjoy with a glass of our German Sparkling Wine.

GERMANY ~ Henkell Trocken Picolla ~ 200ml ~ dry full matured sparkling wine, the taste is fresh, tingling, with a lingering finish, while a subtle fragrance suggestive of tropical fruit and hints of ripe pear and green apple develop the bouquet.



Also included in the box were samples of;

Greek Ouzo Candy ~ one of my husband's favourite flavours!
Italian Strawberry Lolly
English Tea Shop Organic Earl Grey Tea ~ teabag
Eiffel Tower Key Ring

My husband was absolutely thrilled with his gift, we spent some lovely time together looking at all the wonderful goodies and reading all the interesting information about each product.  We taste tested the shortbread and the verdict is "YUMMO"..........

I thoroughly recommend Europe in a Box to anyone who wants a "something different" gift or just a special  "spoil me" present for yourself.

You can find Europe in a Box here subscriptions are one month, three months or 6 months.  Please use the special codes SPREADTHELOVE for $5 off a one month box or DISCOVER EUROPE for $10 off a three month subscription, codes are available until the 30th of March.

I certainly think this box makes a wonderful gift and I know my husband will enjoy all his special treats.  We are definitely looking forward to the weekend to enjoy a chilled glass of sparkling  wine with some warmed Gouda Cheese Bites!

What a great way to celebrate our Anniversary.

EUROPE IN A BOX - New monthly box



I recently subscribed to a new kind of sample box that I would like to share with you all.




I have been very fortunate in my life to have been able to travel and one of the biggest parts of travelling is the FOOD!!  I still crave that Four Cheese Pizza in Sorrento, the fresh creamy Fromage for breakfast every day in France and the best Thai Food, wait for it..........this side of Switzerland!

You can find out more about this fantastic box here and on Facebook here.

You can also read about Cyndie at her deliciously interesting blog here.

Well with this subscription the lovely Cyndie and her team are going to bring a little bit of Europe straight to our doorstep every month.


Each Europe in a Box contains;

Three hand-picked full-size gourmet treats, each originating from a different country in Europe (size varies depending on the product between 50g - 150g)
One authentic drink imported from Europe (200ml or 330ml)
Additional samples to introduce you to new tasty foods
A free gift in every box - keepsake
Educational, cultural and culinary information
Free Shipping



It's like having a mini holiday from the comfort of your own home!!

Cyndie tells me that we will receive gourmet treats from France, Italy, Spain, UK, Holland, Belgium etc.....I can't wait!

This would make a great "something different" gift idea for someone special.


There are three memberships available:

One Month - $53
Three Months - $149
Six Months - $289

The one month subscription is NOT a recurring transaction so you are not locked into a monthly payment scheme, I personally like this idea as it means I can purchase when I want.

I have purchased a box for my husband to celebrate our Anniversay next month.  He is notoriously difficult to buy for but being a dedicated FOODIE I think he is going to love this box.

Cyndie from Europe In a Box has kindly offered all my lovely readers two discount coupon codes if you would like to try this box too.

For $5 off a one month subscription use SPREADTHELOVE
For $10 off a three month subcription use DISCOVEREUROPE

These discounts are available until the 30th March.

Orders for the March box close on the 28th February all orders received after March 1st will be for the April box.

I am really looking forward to receiving my first box in March and I will be reviewing its contents here once I explain to my husband he can have his gift back once I photograph it! 

Europe In a Box donate a percentage of each sale to the worthy charity below.


I have not been paid for this review, I am sharing information with all my lovely readers whom I think might be interested in trying this box for themselves.
