35 Delicious Gifts For Ice Cream Lovers That Will Melt Them Away

Alright, let’s start this list with what’s probably one of the best gifts for ice cream lovers; an actual ice cream maker!

They can finally make their favorite snack at home. And the great part is that they can make any flavor they want and that you get to taste all these flavors too! (Assuming there are some leftovers for you, of course.)

The best gifts for ice cream lovers are, of course, real ice creams. But I can imagine you don’t just want to wrap a pint of Ben & Jerry’s. Apart from the fact that it will get pretty messy as the ice cream melts, it’s also a bit of a dull gift.

But here is the solution; a monthly ice cream subscription from Gold Belly!

They will receive a new box of ice cream on their doorstep every month, so they can enjoy your gift every month again!

#3 Unique ice cream scoops

#12 Ice cream gift card

Gift card from cold stone creamery — *Cold Stone Creamery gift card*

Alright, I know that gift cards have the false reputation of being bad gifts. And I would like to take this opportunity to tell you otherwise. Gift cards are perfect gifts because they allow the recipient to use them for something they actually want and need.

Now, there are two things to keep in mind when buying gift cards.

First, make sure you buy a gift card that’s easy to use for the recipient. If you know there’s a Cold Stone Creamery shop near their home, then that’s a perfect gift card. But if there is not, don’t buy this gift card. Simply buy one from a local ice cream shop near them, because they will be much more likely to actually use it.

Second, don’t just give a gift card like that, make sure you wrap it nicely (check out these 29 ideas if you need inspiration), because presentation matters!
