Homemade Ice Cream Gift Basket Ideas
A homemade ice cream gift basket is one of my favorite gift basket themes; mainly because I've never met anyone who could resist ice cream. It's a great idea for most people for many occasions or special events. Actually, it's what you might consider an all-occasion gift basket. For those of you who are involved with fundraising, this is a great idea for a raffle basket. If you have a limited budget, visit your local dollar type store or discount department store. Look for a large unbreakable bowl as the container; baskets and small wooden crates work well, too. Fill the container with small ice cream bowls, an ice cream scoop, sundae spoons, a box of cones, chocolate syrup or other toppings, chopped nuts, sprinkles, a jar of Maraschino cherries, shortbread or other cookies. It's also nice to include some miniature individually-wrapped chocolate candies such as Snickers, M&Ms, etc. Other ice cream basket ideas are to make and include your own homemade cookie mix. I've included layering steps and gift decorating ideas, too. Or, if you could add some homemade chocolate cookies. Two nice choices are: "Secret Kiss Cookies" and "Peanut Butter Cup Cookies.
