7 of HEMA’s Most Remarkable Products
We’re crazy about HEMA. We’ll rush there at the slightest excuse, whether we’re craving that insanely delicious pastry or looking for fantastically handy kitchen gadgets. But honestly: sometimes we also see products on the shelves that make us raise our eyebrows. Tompouce shampoo, for example, or smoked sausage beer. Want to know which weird products you can find at HEMA right now?
HEMA was recently in the news: vibrators had suddenly appeared on the shelves. It doesn’t get much more remarkable than the love rabbit, but still: we think these 7 products are pretty remarkable too.
Stroopwafel mask (€2.25)
Literally a warm stroopwafel on your face, because this cleansing face mask heats up once you’ve applied it. And there you are, with the scent and warmth of a freshly baked stroopwafel. Would you be tempted to lick your face? I think so.
Pink chocolate face mask (€2.95)
Admittedly, this is the perfect mask if you want some me-time during that one time of the month. You can eat chocolate and smear it on your face, too. But I do wonder: isn’t this just asking for a gigantic breakout?
Rainbow popcorn (€2.30)
It says rainbow popcorn on the package, while it’s just regular popcorn. The only rainbow I can spot is on the packaging. Wouldn’t you be better off buying a (probably cheaper) bag of regular popcorn?
Chocolate macarons (€4.60)
There’s nothing strange about chocolate-flavoured macarons, of course. But these aren’t macarons. They’re simply thick chocolate discs with cream in between. Tasty, sure, but definitely not macarons.
Chocolate bonbon candles (€4)
These are bonbons designed to look like candles. They look fun in the packaging (and really do look like candles that way), but once you take the bonbons out, they’re no longer candles. They’re simply rectangular bonbons with a bit of colour. Or are you supposed to stick the candles into the bonbons yourself? HEMA, help us out here.
Wine in a cup (€2.30)
It looks strange, and not necessarily delicious either, but honestly: this is exactly what we want. Wine in a plastic glass. Of course it’s not as good as a fine bottle of Pinot Noir, but how ideal is this for King’s Day, for example?! No more lugging around wine bottles and stacks of plastic cups. HEMA gets us, and that’s exactly why we love the store so much.
Cookie tin (€11.50)
This is a cookie tin. Literally, because it comes with 2 sticks to beat it with. You can immediately work off your sugar rush energy after eating half the tin. A fun idea, but also rather pointless, because we think the novelty wears off after one time.
