Difflam have released a sore throat product for kids that’s effective AND they’re going to love (yes, really).

When little ones are under the weather, having go-to products you can trust makes things much smoother for everyone. The new Difflam Kids Soothing Throat Pops are the genius solution for kids aged 3+ who have dry, tickly throats (and could do with an extra immune boost).

There’s two delicious, natural flavours that your kids will love: Manuka Honey (made with real NZ Manuka Honey) and Strawberry. And did we mention they’re 99% sugar free?!

Plus, the pouches and paper sticks are 100% recyclable.

  • Great idea

    Unfortunately I wasn’t on the review team but I really wanted to try them. I went to the shop and bought some. What a great idea to put a Difflam on a stick for kids. My twins had covid last week and I gave them a strawberry throat pop. They thought they are getting a treat and loved it. Can definitely recommend and will buy again.

  • Highly recommend

    I love this product. The kids love the taste and I feel it is safer than giving them a lozenge. It helped soothe their sore little throats and they thought they were getting a little treat. These will be a staple in our medicine cabinet now.

  • Easy to use, mum approved!

    Difflam soothing throat pops for kids came at the perfect time for us, as winter is approaching so is the nasty cold and flu season. We received these just as we were starting to get sick and they were and absolute godsend. They helped sooth her throat and reduced her cough. The bonus is she loved the taste and they were a lot easier than cough medicine! We will definitely be getting these again when another cold or flu strikes! I wish these were around a lot sooner.

  • Such a lifesaver

    I’ve always been a big fan of Difflam products, so of course I knew my children would love these. The flavour is great, I love that they’re in a lollypop form, so much easier for the kids! So great for these colder days, when the kids start getting tickles in their throats!

  • Absolute lifesaver!

    Timely for the start of cold and flu season! My daughter started getting a tickly throat so I have her these lollipops and it helped soothe her throat. Love that its flat so there’s no choking hazard and that its natural. Win win.

  • Worked a treat

    My kids loved the difflam kids soothing throat pops in Manuka honey. These were so good for when my kids came home from school the other week with a dry cough and tickly throat. I loved the convenience of them being a throat pop over medicine and the flavour was so nice that wanted them all the time without hesitation. Highly recommend them and I will always have these ones on hand in the future.

  • My toddler loves them

    My toddler recently had a cough and started getting sick. After seeing the difflam soothing pops advertised, I thought I’d grab some.
    My toddler thinks they are the best treat and I noticed his cough had calmed down a bit and he seemed a lot happier.

  • Difflam lollipops

    These lollipops are such a good idea the inventors are pure genius! Majority of kids Love Lollipops and my kids have tried the strawberry flavour. Likes the taste but said the pain relief did not last very long after finishing lollipop. I also thought the pricing was a bit too much for only 10 lollipops in pack.

  • Great for kids.

    With no added sugar, I do not feel guilty giving these throat pops to my children. We tried the strawberry flavour and can confirm it was a hit with 2 of my children (my sons) but unfortunately 1 (my daughter) didn’t like it. My daughter had a sore throat and was coughing a lot, but after giving her one of these throat pops she said her throat didn’t hurt so much anymore and we noticed a huge difference with her coughing easing. I am so glad to finally have something to offer my children when they have a sore or irritated throat that they will actually enjoy. They see it as a little treat and it helps cheer them up a little when they are feeling down. I tried one myself and found it quite tasty, I wouldn’t mind one when I’m feeling unwell also. Highly recommend giving these a go.

  • A mum's lifesaver!

    As a mom of four, I’m always on the lookout for products that actually work and that my kids will enjoy. Difflam Kids Soothing Throat Pops have been a lifesaver for our family! My little ones love the Manuka Honey and Strawberry flavors, and I love that they’re 99% sugar-free and support their immune systems with Vitamin C and Wellmune.

    These throat pops have become our go-to solution for soothing dry, tickly throats. The convenient packaging makes them perfect for on-the-go relief, and the recyclable pouches and sticks are a bonus for eco-conscious moms like me.

    I highly recommend Difflam Kids Soothing Throat Pops to any parent looking for a safe, effective, and delicious way to help their children feel better.

  • Easy to give when sore throats creep up

    It was fantastic to give these Difflam throats pops a try. We had the strawberry flavour which ended up being a huge hit with the kids. They started to “cough” just so they could have one! Fantastic to see an alternative option to syrups which can be hard to give the kids. Thanks to Difflam, making an appropriate form of medicine to give when the sore throats come a calling in the house.

  • Good if you can get them to eat them

    So I loved the idea of these lollipops. They are a fantastic idea for a sore throat, especially as you can’t give them throat lozenges and when they have a tickle in their throat these would be amazing. My daughter loved them but my son hated the taste so I guess it’s just preference on the child. I definitely recommend these to any parent and I will be buying both flavours again. The honey didn’t work for my son but hoping the other flavour will.

  • Tasty and good for my child

    My daughter loved the idea of having a lollipop. And I loved that they were low in sugar and had good ingredients that help with sore throats. I think it’s a wonderful idea for children that don’t like taking medicine. My daughter also said the flavour was delicious and loved it as much as a regular lollipop. I would buy again

  • Love the concept, mixed messages on flavour

    When these arrived to trial I thought “I really could have used these 2 weeks ago when we were in the depths of sickness” haha well silly me because only 2 days later my son developed a cough and it was the perfect time to bring them out. At first he loved them and if nothing else at least they minimised his coughing by distraction. But then a few days later he would start one and not finish it and told me he didn’t like them anymore. I tried them myself and I’m not sure I was getting much honey flavour from it, it’s difficult to describe the flavour but there is a certain floral taste to it. I will grab the strawberry flavour next time they are needed to compare. I love the overall concept of the lollipop and that fact that it’s so easy for your child to accept and not forcing medicine down their throat, and trying to bribe them with everything under the sun. The immunity aspect is a great bonus too.

    My kids loved these throat drops. They are just like a lollipop so of course they are going to want it, I am not sure if it helped soothed their throats but they loved it and they loved the flavour.
    It was delicious to them.

  • Convenient throat pops for young kids

    It’s hard for me to give my toddler any type of product that will I’ll help them with their health if they are unwell but these throat pops are very convenient and a fun way to do so.
    My toddler enjoyed the novelty of trying these and was curious, and because it’s a trick form it means less risk of choking from my point of view.

  • Soothes the throat

    This couldn’t have come at a better time with one of my children being unwell. We had the strawberry flavour and I tried it with both my son aged 7 and daughter aged 6 (my daughter being the one sick). My son enjoyed the soothing throat pop he said it tasted yummy and likes the strawberry flavour. My daughter on the other hand isn’t a fan and dislikes the taste. It did however somewhat soothe her throat after eating it. She said that her throat didn’t feel as itchy and she wasn’t coughing as often after having it. I’m so glad there is finally a child friendly option out there to help soothe our little ones throats when they are unwell, added bonus that it supports their immune health. These have no added sugar which is fantastic and makes me more than happy to give one to my child. I will most definitely be purchasing more of these for when my kiddies are unwell.

  • Delicious, tasty treat that helps with sore throats.

    These are brilliant! My children love lollipops, so having one that helps with their dry trickly throats when they’re sick is amazing. The strawberry flavour is delicious and I love that it is a source of vitamin C and supports their immune Health. Being 99% sugar free is also great and makes me feel guilt free giving these to my kids. I’ll be keeping these stocked up in my cupboard especially during winter.

  • Great idea

    Show me a child who doesn’t like lollipops ???? mine wanted to eat them instead of candies and dessert. It’s very good idea for the kids to have a lollipops instead syrup or drops. Less chocking hazard as well ( but still need to be supervised and reminded not to run with the lollipops). Kids liked the taste and knowing that they are all natural and full of goodness to support their immune system I am more than happy to give them more often rather other sweets. Highly recommend as they are easy to open, carry around and fun to eat.

  • Good job difflam

    First of all thank you for the opportunity to try these as we have now found a winner with our kids. They were the eight flavour for them to enjoy and being a lollypop I found them easier for them to eat rather than the usual lolly form which they usually just bite. I find vitamin c to be very beneficial during the winter months to help void off illness so good to see its an included addition to these. I also like the idea of it being preventative so they can (a did) have them often. I’ve recommended them to my mums groups

  • Lollipops for a sore throat.

    Thanks to mouths of mums for giving me the opportunity to trial the Difflam soothing throat pops.
    These are a great idea considering most kids love to have lollipops. And it’s tricky for kids to suck on lozenges.
    I tried one of these Manuka honey flavoured pops for my own sore throat and it tasted pretty honey like. Slightly plain and no antiseptic or medicinal taste to it.
    I can’t say that it did much for my sore throat but the intention is there and sometimes just sucking on a lolly is all you need to soothe a dry itchy throat.
    My four year old daughter didn’t want to try these throat pops even when she did have a sore throat. The honey flavour aspect put her off so I can’t say whether she would have liked it or not.
    I eventually got her to try them only after I mentioned that I would buy the strawberry flavoured ones next time! She had about half of the throat pop before giving it to me.
    A bit expensive at $11 for a pack of 10 throat pops. (Down to $7.60 when on sale). I think you’re better off getting some plain lollies for your child.

I fondly remember slow, summer afternoons with family and friends gathered around a table of delicious finger-food during my childhood – the adults chatting and laughing, the kids pretending they understood the jokes. My parents had continued their Mediterranean traditions long after settling in Australia – and the simple joy of an effortlessly elegant gathering was one of my favourites.

What I don’t remember is my parents ever being stressed about the gatherings. It all just seemed to ‘come together’. Ah, how times have changed!

There’s something about the Italian style of entertaining that’s still so alluring in our fast-paced family lives. The idea of La Dolce Vita: a sweet life surrounded by family, friends, food and minimal fuss. Which is why we’ve enlisted the help of the entertaining experts at Sandhurst to share easy tips for elegant, memorable summer get-togethers.

We also asked our community of mums to share their tried and true, easy summer entertaining ideas, and we can’t wait to share them with you!

Euro-Inspired Entertaining

Sandhurst

Before we dive into the delicious world of sumptuous, simple summer entertaining, it helps to know a little about the inspiration behind our guide. And that’s the concept of Italian entertaining – where time is taken to lovingly grow ingredients, before enjoying them with those you love.

Established in 1988, Sandhurst was born from the time-honoured traditions of generations of the family behind the brand – a proud Italian Australian family passionate about quality produce sourced from world’s best growers.

At the helm of Sandhurst are brothers Mimmo and Ray Lubrano, who live and breathe the impeccable ingredients that become the centrepiece of so many gatherings in Australian family homes.

“Tradition is what we stand for. We’re custodians of Italian values,” explained Mimmo. “When we go to Italy we see it in our grandparents, our parents came from Italy in the 50s. The tradition is a set of values: honesty, teamwork, participation, family – all the things you would associate with Italian family are the values.”

And it’s these beautiful values that make summer gatherings in Australia an extension of the European table.

Easy Summer Entertaining Starts With … Time Saving Secrets!

A sweet summer of entertaining doesn’t need to be stressful. In fact, it shouldn’t be. It’s a chance to spend time with loved ones. To press pause on life and make memories. And it can be simple! So here are some really easy tips for making your home the place where everyone wants to gather this summer.

Create An Entertaining Kit

Whether it’s pre-planned or you’ve had friends or family drop-in, having a few things ready to go immediately melts away any stress. Here are some things to include in a summer entertaining kit:

  • A red table cloth: It instantly says festive!
  • Some platters and serving dishes
  • Candles
  • Some quality antipasto ingredients that simply need to be decanted and enjoyed!

Many Hands Make Light Work

As mums, we tend to be our own worst enemy when it comes to delegating tasks. But remember, a summer of entertaining is about creating memories – not perfection. So let the kids help, and accept offers from your guests who’d like to bring something along to share.

“It can be overwhelming, so just delegate, and prepare. I do one dish prep per day and pop them in the freezer. Then they just need to be heated up. Let the kids do the decorating for you – plus keeps them busy!” – MoM Member Kirsty

Decorate With Happiness

There’s no need to pull out your finest crystal to pull off an elegant get together. Take a look around your home and garden to see what will bring your table to life. A bowl of lemons is a gorgeous addition, as is a bunch of gum leaves. Keep it simple and understated.

Finger Food For The Win

Nothing says simple summer elegance more than a charcuterie board (or three!). When my friends and our families get together, it’s our go-to – every family is asked to ‘bring a board’. Some do savoury and some sweet, so we’re covered for a long afternoon of catching up.

“Food wise, I keep it simple by doing cold deli meats, cheeses, fresh fruits and veggies.” – MoM Member

But just because boards are easy to put together, doesn’t mean they can’t ooze elegance. And that comes down to including quality ingredients. Choosing Sandhurst products is the easiest way to guarantee the highest quality ends up on your table. We love the premise behind the brand: from our family to yours – it invokes that nostalgic feeling of shared stories, history, gatherings and family.

By grabbing some beautiful ingredients to fill your pantry next time you’re shopping, you’ll know that at a moment’s notice you’ll have everything you need for a Euro-inspired gathering. No fuss, but plenty of substance and style!

  • We often have homemade pizza nights aka fakeaway night! And my pizza is always on a low carb Pizza base with roasted and sundried tomato and capsicum. My fav combo with grilled chicken and a swirl of peri peri mayonnaise! Making our own is always better than takeaway versions and healthier!

  • Looked so good I couldn’t wait – Dove in off the end of my bread baton and swirled around in a couple of cheesy dips only to finish up at the Sandhurst stackers and sun-dried olives, who needs a Holiday when there is one in the kitchen, I can take any day.

  • I have been buying Sandhurst Kalamata Olives, Sandhurst Semi-Dried Tomatoes, Sandhurst Baby Capers, Sandhurst Sicilian Green Olives for years as our kitchen staple adding that extra flavours to our dishes. I buy Sandhurst products for Gift Baskets as presents for family and friends and they love this idea as I add a chopping board and a knife and crackers and cheese for a celebration of flavours.

  • I have been a purchaser of Sandhurst goods ever since they first appeared on supermarket shelves and still buy it to this day. The Sandhurst brand is the best without a doubt. This year I have not been able to find the Sandhurst cheese stuffed baby capsicums anywhere. I have tried to get on the Sandhurst site, but no luck with what they make. Help – these are such a wonderful addition to a salad.

  • I Love a good charcuterie board. I Love all the different options all on the one board. I love to do a chocolate board when we have guests over, it’s a fun way to do dessert after dinner. The kids love seeing everything layed out so they can pick and choose.

  • This is great for the grandchildren they love them as they use them as finger food and make up their own meal and use plenty of ingredients including meat and cheese on the dips and crackers. We keep it simple with the Sandhurst’s products as it is a meal in every jar and the kids love them.

  • This looks like the perfect relaxed way to have a picnic! I am loving the idea of this! Just bring along lots of fillings and plenty of cheeses and breads and of course a little alcohol and you’re all set. This sounds like the perfect way to catch up with friends!

  • Charcuterie boards are the absolute best! We do these so often in the warmer months because there’s something for the whole family. People pick and choose what they like and there’s no complaints because there’s so many different options to choose from, everyone is happy. It’s such a simple stressful way to make dinner.

  • I absolutely adore finger food and this style of feeding people when we have family and friends at our home; or when we go out for a picnic, bbq or get together. These types of food are so easy to source and to buy and to prepare and to happily eat.


    • Yes I agree, finger foods are easy and yummie ! And you can assemble a healthy enough plate (certainly when you add salads, cheeses, nuts, fruits, boiled eggs, olives and rustic breads) that it can certainly can replace a meal (either lunch or dinner). Everyone happy and no hours of preparation in the kitchen :)



      • Also; the other bonus is less mess to clean up when cutlery is not needed. Finger food is the best for laid back and relaxed get togethers. There is always such a clam and relaxed feel to a finger food meal without the need for any fancy and stuffy table settings.
