Collector’s Pack, Bamba
The most Israeli brand around – sorry, for us it’s official – celebrates itself and all of Israel with collector’s boxes that combine toys and snacks. An ideal combination as far as we’re concerned.
The special editions of Bamba are wrapped in a sporty aroma and accordingly include a baby doll (a female soccer player, female basketball player, and in the spirit of the national sport, of course, matkot) and two 40-gram bags, because you also need to eat something here.
The move corresponds with past launches by the brand, which were snapped up and naturally went viral. Now, it seems, this series is declaring a new tradition, and will move over the years between content worlds. Go ahead, we’re waiting.
Festive Collection, Nespresso
This is not a season, and certainly not a change of seasons, without some kind of announcement from the coffee giant. And therefore, this is definitely a season and definitely a change of seasons with the current cuddling announcement from Nespresso.
The Festive Collection, created in collaboration with Kenyan artist Thandiwe Muriu, speaks winter and corresponds with the festive days enveloping the entire world – us too, yes – with an intense feeling of optimism and warmth. Try it, it’s good for the soul, even if it’s a limited edition.
It includes Festive Espresso capsules (strength level 7, NIS 28.70) with a fruity-caramel profile, Festive Espresso Double (strength level 7, NIS 32.20) for the Vertuo machine, a wonderful and spiced cinnamon and tamarind combination that works excellently דווקא as a milk-based drink from the chai world, an almond and hibiscus version that is no less good, from the same content world, as well as a series of accessories – a Vertuo mug cup, cocktail glasses designed by Federico Peri, a calendar, a double-sided fabric bag – and 75% dark chocolate with cocoa nibs.
Golden Vanilla Latte and Winter Infusions, Wissotzky
From the same temperature-related starting point comes the Israeli tea powerhouse as well, with a multi-option warming delegation.
First, the Golden Vanilla Latte, a limited edition (NIS 17.90–19.90), whose focus is gentle and creamy indulgence, especially if you’re into milk, and excellent aromas of overseas markets.
Alongside it, Wissotzky’s cold-season affairs are boosted with two flavors. The Golan Heights infusion (NIS 16.90) from its excellent Israeli mixology series makes a nice gesture to nature and the northern landscapes with a combination of cherries, berries, and blue-and-white plants, while pineapple-lychee green tea (NIS 22.90–25.90) tries to inject a bit of Tropicana into the gray and cold with a definitely worthy kick of energy.
The move is reinforced through the company’s collaboration with Noy HaSadeh, into a local winter pack, which includes two tea packs, a box of organic strawberries, Israeli pineapple, a pack of blueberries and a pack of red raspberries, ginger, and mint. Price: NIS 199.
Protein Bars, Strauss
The quick and vigorous entry into the developing category led to an equally quick and vigorous addition. Maybe it’s the protein.
Strauss’s new bars highlight 20 grams of it in a bar that weighs 60 grams in total, and two new flavors in the family – almonds and cashews with maturity and sweetness relatively balanced for the genre, and choco-caramel, a bit more decadent, just as we all look for from time to time.
Orange and Caramel-Flavored Candies, Must
Elite’s sweets brand expands its menu and options with a double, and wintry, launch.
Must’s new candies avoid sugar and offer milky caramel flavors and orange filling with added vitamin C. The former with a relatively creamy and rich feel, and the fruitiness with a good balance between sweet and bitter. It works as a refresh of the oral cavity, and it works after a meal and on the go, until the bag (80 grams) runs out.
