For one dad or a small coffee break, a smaller pack is a better choice than a catering-size box. If you want to hand out one sealed biscuit to each person, Lotus’s boxes of 120 or 300 individually wrapped biscuits are designed for that. According to the pack-size notation, the consumer packs of 8x2, 10x2 and 20x2 contain two biscuits per pack, not one biscuit per wrapper. Before giving them as a gift, check the allergens, shelf life and storage instructions for your chosen variety.
If you want to give lots of guests a sealed biscuit each, Lotus Biscoff boxes of 120 or 300 individually wrapped biscuits are an option. Choose a box size that suits the number of people you’re giving them to.
For one dad or a small group, a pack with fewer portions may be a better fit. Bear in mind that, according to the pack-size notation, Lotus packs such as 8x2, 10x2 and 20x2 contain two biscuits per pack.
Read the label on the exact variety you plan to give. The Lotus Original biscuits reviewed here contain wheat and soya; the Sandwich Cookies also list milk and possible traces of egg.
First, work out how many people will receive a biscuit and whether each one needs its own wrapper. Then compare the variety and the information on the label.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| One biscuit per wrapper | Look for an explicit mention of individual wrapping or a pack size ending in x1; count the sealed portions. | If I want to give one biscuit to several people, each biscuit needs to be individually sealed. This is the top priority for an estimated 36% of consumers. |
| The right number of portions | Compare the number of packs with the number of recipients, and check the shelf life of any leftovers. | For a small Father’s Day get-together, I don’t want to be left with a box full of uneaten biscuits. The right quantity is the top priority for around 29% of consumers. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients, highlighted allergens and any warnings on the label of the exact variety. | If the recipient needs to avoid a particular allergen, I check the exact pack rather than relying on the brand name alone. This is the most important consideration for around 21% of consumers. |
| Type of biscuit | Choose between a classic biscuit, a filled sandwich biscuit and filled speculoos, then check the type of packaging. | When I give someone biscuits, I want to choose a variety they’ll enjoy. The type of biscuit is the deciding factor for an estimated 14% of consumers. |
With a pack such as 8x2, 10x2 or 20x2, the notation means each pack contains two biscuits. That won’t work if you plan to give everyone exactly one sealed biscuit.
Check how many individual packs are in the box and look for an explicit mention of one biscuit per wrapper.
Lotus’s boxes of individually wrapped biscuits contain 120 or 300 biscuits. That could leave you with a lot of leftovers if you’re buying for one person.
Work out how many portions you need in advance, and check the shelf life and storage instructions for the box you choose.
A large number of leftovers also means you’ll need space to store the biscuits according to the packaging instructions.
The Lotus Original and Sandwich varieties reviewed here don’t list the same allergens: the Sandwich Cookies also list milk and possible traces of egg.
Before giving them as a gift, check the ingredients and allergens on the current label for the exact variety.
A pack type or seasonal product you see online may not be available when you place your order.
Just before Father’s Day, check the current availability, delivery options and packaging of the product you actually choose.
