Giant 1.3kg biscuit boxes hit Amazon just in time for Father's Day
In case you've forgotten, Father's Day is just around the corner - Sunday, June 15 to be exact. If you're like most people, you might still be wondering what to get the dad who seems to have everything.
Dads can be notoriously difficult to buy for. They never seem to want anything, they already have everything, or they just say, "Don't be bothering with anything at all".
But if there's one thing almost everyone - dads included - can agree on, it's the universal joy of biscuits, chocolate and sweet treats. Whether it's dunking a biscuit in tea, sneaking a bar of chocolate after dinner or polishing off the 'good' treats meant for visitors, most dads have a sweet tooth they're not shy about.
If you're stuck for ideas or simply want a foolproof gift that's guaranteed to go down a treat, Amazon's newly launched Ireland store has just made life a lot easier. The site is now offering a range of bulk boxes filled with chocolate, biscuits and sweets, including a giant 2kg bundle from Cadbury and a huge 1.3kg box from Nestle.
They're perfect for treating your dad, grandad, a father figure in your life - or even just stocking up for yourself.
Some of the best-sellers on Amazon Ireland include:
Nestlé Kitkat and Friends Large Biscuit Box (€23.15)
This 1.35kg box includes around 69 chocolate biscuit bars like Blue Riband, Toffee Crisp and KitKats - working out at just 33 cents each. One reviewer said: "Excellent selection of your favourite biscuits,at a reasonable price, I purchase for my office and it lasts a good while." However another claimed: "Only had 67 bars in. And didn't weigh as stated."
Cadbury Heroes Chocolate Bulk Share Box (€33.45)
A massive 2kg box packed with favourites such as Creme Egg Twisted, Dairy Milk Caramel, Twirl, Crunchie Bits and more. One reviewer said: "What a fantastic find. The quality, condition, appearance and taste are great." However another wrote: "As soon as we opened the box it was clear to see the box was mostly full of twisted creme eggs, eclairs and dairy milk. Very disappointing as twisted creme eggs and eclairs are our least favourites."
Lotus Biscoff 1.8kg Box - 300 Individually Wrapped Biscuits (€33.54)
Described as "the best companion to your coffee", this box contains hundreds of individually wrapped biscuits. One reviewer raved: "Fast shipping of purchased cookies. Shipment well secured. Cookies fresh, delicious, in perfect condition. I recommend buying from this seller." However, another said: "I am sorry to say that the last two of these have been sub standard. They seem to be more friable than in the past and many of the individual biscuits are already broken in their individual wrappers."
Kids Retro Sweets Gift Box (€23.78)
This box is loaded with a variety of nostalgic sweets and chocolates like Dib Dabs, White Mice, Sherbet, Drumsticks and Flumps.
Warrior Crunch 20g High Protein Bars Variety Pack (€24.48)
Ideal for health-conscious dads, these low-carb, keto-friendly bars pack 20g of protein each. One reviewer said:" I absolutely love these, as they make the perfect pre or post workout snack, or just a general sweet indulgence. Even my picky partner with a slightly more fussy palette loves these." However another said: "Taste was ok (not particularly good but ok), but the inner filling is hard as stone."
Original Dubai Chocolate 220g (€10.33, down from €16.53)
For dads who love luxury and unique flavours, this velvety chocolate bar blends high-quality ingredients with exotic oriental notes. Its description reads: "Experience pure enjoyment with our exquisite luxury chocolate from Dubai. This carefully crafted delicacy combines high-quality ingredients with unique oriental flavours. Its velvety texture and incomparable taste make it a real highlight for connoisseurs."
