Amenity Kits.
The BRICS amenity kits were made available from the start of 2017, taking over from the previous Armani kits. See http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/qatar...nity-kits.html. Also http://lux-traveller.com/2017/qatar-...menity-kit.htm
Note that there are two versions of the amenity kit - a long-haul one, and a slimmed down one for regional flights. They are available for J/F passengers on regional and long-haul flights. They will usually be offered to you between boarding and take-off.
In Autumn 2017 we have had QR offering some autumnal updates #723 and Press Release to the amenity kits
And in October 17 all BRICS kits turned pink for Breast Cancer Awareness #742
From November 17 the kits are Blue for boys and Yellow for girls (#796) with apparently no difference in the male/female contents (#833)
Pyjamas.
New White Company pyjamas were announced in early 2017. See http://www.qatarairways.com/english_...e_whitecompany.
Up until autumn 2017 the White Company PJs were still a rarity, and appeared to be reserved for F passengers, J passengers in QSuites or A380s. However, as of October 2017 there are increasing reports of White Company PJs turning up in normal J cabins which might mean the Grey unbranded PJs are now on their way out of circulation, although in November there were still plenty of reports of the old grey PJs being handed out (#821). The White Company PJs come with slippers in the package which have been observed (#796) to not be as good quality as the slippers that used to be given out separately
Pyjamas are typically available to J/F passengers on long-haul flights that involve some night time flying. They will usually be offered to you between boarding and take-off.
Slippers.
If you receive the new White Company PJs the slippers are included within the package even when flying in J and hence will now usually be received when the crew gives you your PJs. With the old grey PJs the slippers were separate and reserved for the longest flights; they were usually pre-delivered and stashed in your seat drawer or storage bin.
As always with QR, your feedback and experience is key in helping other future passengers to set their expectations correctly so please contribute!

Well, everyone to their own, I guess. I personally much prefer the Valrhona bars to the Godiva pralines one used to get, and more generally find Valrhona chocolate very significantly superior to Godiva.
Of course, I fully understand that everyone have their own preference and indeed, that many people will prefer pralines to chocolate bars, but for what it's worth, whilst Godiva have been effective at global commercial distribution, they are typically considered a very average brand of industrial pralines in Belgium. By contrast, Valrhona is probably the single most respected brand of widely available chocolate bars and is used in many if not most top restaurants across the world. The very fact that the two sell for equivalent price by the weight while pralines are typically much fancier products than bars says something about the cost of the actual chocolates sourced and used by the two companies.

Here's some info on my recent QR flights on what was/wasn't provided:
QR10 - LHR 08:50 - DOH 18:35: blanket and pillow provided at seat (along with standard amenity kit), no slippers or PJs. I did request to see what would happen but they said they don't stock on day flights (fair enough)
QR806 - DOH 01:05 - NRT 16:55: everything provided: already at seat at the start was a blanket, pillow, mattress topper and a light duvet in a cotton cover. PJs offered at start in two sizes - S/M and M/L (maybe they had other larger sizes but made a judgement call based on me/my partner..), along with amenity kit
QR807 - NRT 22:20 - DOH 04:05: blanket, pillow and mattress topper provided at seat. Amenity kit offered. But no PJs and no duvet! Pretty poor for what is obviously a night flight (we asked)
QR003 - DOH 07:45 - LHR 13:15: blanket and pillow at seat and amenity kit offered. Nothing else
I was really irritated by the lack of any PJs on the NRT-DOH flight. Also the duvet but not as much as the PJs. Had I known I'd have taken some on board with me. As it was I had to sleep in my normal clothes and wasn't particularly comfortable. Grrr. I'm thinking of lodging a complaint, for this reason and also the service on board the DOH-LHR flight - the attendant on my partner's side of the cabin was not good throughout the flight. The final annoyance being she forgot to retrieve his coat at the end, which was at the back of the cabin (we were in 12EF on an A380), so ended up being the last off board and therefore back of the queue for immigration. I know it's not major in the scheme of things but I was surprised at poor crew, given everything I've read on FT about QR service standards
