Another rainy day (image) After a (mostly) warm summer, the winter months are kicking in, and with it the seasonal weather.

As always I was looking forward to seeing what was inside the September Degustabox. There was a good mix of items; from sweet to savoury, food & drink, some brands I’d heard of and some I’d not. I don’t think there was anything in this one that I didn’t like, and the boys even enjoyed more of it than usual too. Enjoy 10 to 15 surprise products, many are completely new to the market! Receive your Degustabox every month filled with goodies. All for much less than you would pay in the shops! So what was inside the September Degustabox?
