Have an ice cream lover in your life? Or maybe you yourself identify as the notorious ice-cream lover. Ready in their pajama pants, pint in hand and ready to seize the comfort, ice cream lovers deserve great holiday gifts as well. If you know someone like this, you might want in on this gift list.
With the holiday season right around the corner, read on to discover 10 ice cream inspired gift ideas.
1. Kickin’ it off with a Cylindrical Classic
Price: $29.99Thrifty Ice Cream cemented itself as a staple in my life very early on and having had other ice creams now, I can now confidently confirm that Thrifty ranks above the others. For those of you who don’t know, Thrifty Ice Cream has become increasingly more rare and hard to find. But if you find yourself anywhere near one¾I really implore you to give it a try. If you know Thrifty or you decide to go, you’ll see that they have a special scooper that results in a cylindrical ice cream scoop.
“I remember always going to get Thrifty’s ice cream growing up and getting the cylindrical scoop,” USC senior Peter Lee said.
You can actually buy the scooper and gift it to that Thrifty Ice Cream lover in your life for their unique cylindrical scoops. Or if you just want an ice cream scooper that scoops in perfect cylinders every time, treat yourself and buy it.
2. Customizable Engraved Ice Cream Spoon
Price: $14.50Without spoons, ice cream eating loses its flair and pretty much becomes a lost art. But picture this: the perfect spoon for the perfect ice cream lover. “Grandpa’s Ice Cream Shovel,” “Christie’s Ice Cream Spoon,” or “My Ice Cream” can all be engraved on the face or handle of a spoon. These spoons make for a heart-melting gift that will remind your special ice cream eater of you quite often. As every ice cream lover finds spoons absolutely essential, why not have a designated ice cream spoon engraved especially for them?
3. Pint Huggies
Price:$9.50For those pint eaters out there (very impressive) this one might be the perfect gift. Tearing through that pint of ice cream requires some serious skill; I would need all the help I could get. These pint “huggies” perfectly fits on your ice cream pint and will keep your hand nice and warm while you vigorously scoop. No more of that frozen hand while eating through the pint.
4. The Banana Split Boat
Price: $33.49No more monkeying around¾the next one on the list is rather decorative. When you think of an ice cream classic, your mind might immediately think of the legendary banana split. Now, to have a real banana split you need the proper dish, and you might find them surprisingly hard to find. But look no further than the classic, crystal clear dish to complete your ice cream lover’s perfect banana split. Say goodbye to trying to squeeze your perfect looking banana split into a small bowl.
5. DIY Mochi Ice Cream Kit
Price: $56.87Okay, if your ice cream lover rocks the DIY clothes then this gift might be perfect. Of course, if they like the Japanese ice cream snack “mochi,” then that will help.
“This sounds like so much fun. I’m not the best chef but, this sounds simple enough, and delicious,” San Diego State University freshman Gabrielle Simpson said.
This kit comes with all the ingredients necessary to make the stretchy and chewy mochi and you can just add your favorite ice cream flavor inside. Perfect for the ice-cream loving DIY-er!
6. The Special Scooper
Price: $34.99Categorized as: for those ice cream eaters who refuse to eat out of the pint and only scoop. You can spice up their wrist-wrenching endeavors with this ergonomic ice cream scooping powerhouse. This glimmering metal handle allows for the most comfortable and easy scooping experience so nobody has to hurt their wrists to enjoy their splits. So have some fun with it and really make it a special scooper. Now they’ll have extra reasons to double scoop.
7. Ice Cream Sundae in a Box
Price: $49.95A classic re-imagined. Does your ice cream lover hate to shop for all the miniscule details and ingredients? If so, this gift will be their savior. You can give them this box of all the ingredients they’ll need to make their ice cream sundae. In the end, making a fabulous ice cream sundae won’t be the problem, but resisting the urge to buy an endless supply of these boxes will.
8. The Ice Cream Candle
Price: $34.99The scented candle might be a staple of the holiday gift giving season. But if you know your candle lover doubles as an ice cream lover¾this might be the perfect mash up.
“I absolutely love candles, and an ice cream inspired candle sounds amazing. I want one,” University of La Verne alum Jennifer Evans said.
These candles look just like a scoop of ice cream and smells good. Nothing sounds greater than an ice cream candle to compliment a night of ice cream eating.
9. Ice Cream Socks
Price: $9.95For the real ice cream enthusiast, the lover of all lovers, nothing says “I love ice cream” like a pair of ice cream socks. These socks read “Bring Me Ice Cream” and pretty much speak for themselves.
“I would love these. I love socks. And I love ice cream,” UC Berkeley Junior Hyun Jee Lee said.
These act as a wardrobe necessity for any ice cream enthusiast. And especially during the winter season, warm up those toes while making a statement with your new socks.
10. Cold Stone Protein Powder
Price: $29.99The finale will make all the ice cream loving gym bros smile. This actually exists and may change your gym-rat-ice-cream-loving friend’s life. Cold Stone partnered with Syntha-6, a protein supplement company, to make protein powder that tastes exactly like a milkshake.
“I tried some of this last year, game changer, it tastes just like a milkshake,” Pasadena City College sophomore Jordan Lim said.
If you know your ice cream lover as a gym go-er or protein powder user this might change their lift game.
