Long Time No See!

Hello! Well, here I go again! LOL
We are getting ready to go on a Perillo Tour of Italy! I was curious as to what type of Business Class  Amenity Kits we would get on Delta. So I did some searching and found blogs that review the different kits offered by the airlines! Very interesting, there are blogs for everything! I also found out that I could buy some on eBay! LOL so, I went a tad bit crazy! I bought a Delta kit, a Lufthansa summer edition kit, and a United special kit that comes in a large tin with a picture of a LAX on it.

Let's do a bit of a review, All three kits are about the same size, 7 1/2". They all 3 have eye masks and soft socks. All three pairs of socks feel about the same quality. The eye mask for Lufthansa is in a little cellophane wrapper, the other two are not wrapped up in anything. It also has a soft satiny feel to it. The United eye mask is cottony on the outside and the part that touches your eyes has a soft cottony felt like touch to it. It is soft. The Delta bag is made by Tumi and do is the eye mask. The outside cover of the eye ask is a texturey feel to it, sturdy, the inside is a fabric but I can't decide what type, not really cottony.  For me, I'd have to say I prefer the Lufthansa eye mask. The socks are not completely cheapo as a few years ago,but they probably would not stand up to daily use. For what they are meant for, all are good, with the United docks just a step lower.
They all three have:
Earplugs
Toothbrush and paste (Delta and United also have a flossing pick)
Hand cream and lip balm

Lufthansa also has a set of covers for their headphones

United and Delta also have a hand sanitizer wipe
A comb
A little (and I mean little) pack of tissues
A pen

United also had a pack of two mints
Delta has a shoe horn and a small tub of shoe polish

I will see if I can post some pictures.

I have a couple more arriving shortly and will also do a little review of those.
Added!
SwissAir Business Class Amenity Kit by Qwstion.
In the shipping pack a single use refreshing tissue was included.
The zipper pouch itself is quite nice. A sturdy clothe with a ribbon that goes around combining a design feature with a strap. There is even an open outside pocket.
Included in the kit is a welcome card. Qwstion is a luggage company it seems. It says designed and developed in Zurich. Interesting, I wonder where the actual product is made? It reminds me of Apple prodects, designed in Palo Alto, etc. The card also says: "please
 accept this Travel a comfort Kit with our compliments. We hope that this specially designed bag by QWSTION enhances your overall inflight enjoyment and will be of use to you long after your flight with us. "
Evidently there are cosmetics in the plane's lavatories as well as other items available by request:
Shaving kit
Nail file
Shoe horn (included in some of the other kits)
Sewing kit

Now onto the items in the kit!
Toothbrush and small tube of toothpaste
Earplugs
Brown socks (feels nice and soft, nice quality)
Eye mask, brown, soft cotton, has a nice little  flap that will block light from the top
Lip balm, I don't see any lotion

There is a little wrapped Ricola Elderflowers Seiss herb drop.
With the size of the little box it came in, I was expecting at least three drops.

Overall, this is a nice kit.
