Ice Cream Social Gift Box

Isn’t summer just the best time of year. The holidays may be a magical season, but summer, summer has all the best things going for it. I mean you’ve got sunshine and beautiful days to spend outdoors; in the garden, picking flowers, hiking, going to the beach, swimming in lakes, and let’s not forget dining al fresco. Outdoors is just about the only place I want to be, and we can agree that you can’t beat a summer night making s’more beneath a starry sky with friends, just relaxing and enjoying the moment.

During this season we tend to naturally let our guards down, and crave a more laid-back lifestyle. It’s one of the reasons I love this time of year, any excuse is cause to come together and celebrate outside. I may also be partial to celebrations during summer since I am June baby, a birthday is the perfect excuse to light the grill, make some cocktails and chill.

If you’ve got a birthday to gift or attending a warm weather outdoor bash, I’ve got the loveliest gift box you can put together. What’s the perfect summer theme gift box? Why an ice cream cocktail party of course. No matter the age, you can’t pass up a good homemade ice cream sandwich on a hot summer day, which makes this gift a hit with anyone!

Ice Cream Social Gift Box DIY | Dreamery Events

I created this basket for a fundraiser but instantly fell in love with the theme for a summer party. Works well with any ages, ice cream sandies for the kids and decadent fudgesicle cocktails for the adults. How much would the “hostess” in your group of gals. love this. The box contains everything you’d need to get inspired and pull together a fun ice cream social!

Ice Cream Social Gift Box DIY | Dreamery EventsPretty colorful florals to serve as decor, lovely stationery to invite and then thank guests, and two flavors of freshly baked cookies because ice cream sandwiches are even better when made with homemade treats. Oh, and of course festive sprinkles!

Ice Cream Social Gift Box DIY | Dreamery EventsCompliment your gift’s signature cocktail to the theme of your basket. Since this is an ice cream social, I decided to turn the classic fudgesicle into a boozy milkshake. Whenever giving a gift with an entertaining theme or a bottle, I like to include a custom and unique drink recipe. Make sure of course, it’s something you’ve made and enjoy yourself.

Not one to be led by trends, but seems there’s a Not one to be led by trends, but seems there’s a little something we’re all looking forward to … Color! But there in lies the complex beauty of color. We connect & interpret it in so many personal ways — some of us are drawn to the beauty in the soft muted tones, while others it’s the bright rich hues. Each view & approach, a special way of embracing color✨🌿🌈And I am here for all it!

“Ikebana; the Japanese art of flower arranging t “Ikebana; the Japanese art of flower arranging that emphasizes form & balance — symbolizing the beauty & essence of all components in Nature working in harmony. Ikebana expresses strong emotions through its four principles of a fresh approach, movement, balance & harmony, while highlighting its three elements; line, color & mass. 

Ikebana designs use fewer stems that are intentionally arranged to reflect the balance of opposing elements. Ikebana floral art is a reflection of the person creating it & its evolving story.”
……
This year I’m challenging myself each month to create a design. Whether it be a centerpiece or tablescape, I want to expand & challenge my creativity, skills & ever-flowing ideas. It’s a perfect way for me to create for the sake of creating while inspiring you with joyful pieces & help others see unlikely designs with a new perspective. 

I was naturally drawn to the traditional artform of Ikebana, for it takes the simplest elements & transforms them into designs that evoke an immense emotion. For me there is so much power & beauty in that, but also why I think it’s not as understood or appreciated as elaborate floral designs. 

I stumbled upon this forgotten small blue & white dish, thought how perfect it would be to capture the story of “Winter Blues” — not the sadness of the bitter season, but the emotion of a fresh clean slate where Nature is bare, minimal & calm, yet open to all the possibilities of the unknown … using a few sprigs of Blue Thistle & the inspiration of Ikebana intentions, this tiny delight was made💙

Dreamery is a bespoke event and floral design brand focusing on gatherings of all sizes, stylings, home, decor and the limitless creative projects yet to be envisioned. Nature, travel, old world treasures & slow living are my constant inspiration.
