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. Download this delicious Fudgesicle Cocktail Recipe Print here.

What to Include

  • Nice Wooden Box or Pretty Basket
  • Colorful Floral Arrangement
  • Ice Cream Bowls or Edible Cones
  • Homemade Cookies {These Chocolate Chip Cookies and Sugar Cookies made with Sprinkles are definite crowd pleasers}
  • Ice Cream Theme Notecards
  • Fun Drinking Straws
  • Bottle of Rum Chata {or Gift Receiver’s favorite spirit}
  • Fudgesicle Cocktail Recipe Card
  • Personal Note

Ice Cream Social Gift Box DIY | Dreamery EventsIsn’t this gift box just pretty? I would seriously love to get this as a birthday or hostess gift. And of course you can completely customize it to fit a specific party theme or appeal to the person you’re gifting it to.

I love Lisboa in June🌿especially those early da I love Lisboa in June🌿especially those early days w. remnants of the previous month still lingering…
the fragrant & gorgeous Jacaranda trees lighting up cobblestone alleys lined w. pastel colored buildings, becoming more vibrant as Summer’s heat begins to near….
Walking along the Rio Tejo feeling so close to the sea but not quite there & the streets not yet crowded w. vacationers basking in the city’s delight … walking around Lisboa is certainly a creative treat!! I’d love to be able to squeeze in a little summer travel; change of scenery is always such an inspiration, especially when life seems a bit crazy these days. 

Any fun summer travels planned? Hope everyone enjoys the first weekend of summer🌼

how fleeting you have been sweet, darling June… how fleeting you have been
sweet, darling June…

it seems we’re all being kept too busy these days, I don’t want the simple treasures of this month to go by so quickly but it’s like I haven’t slowed down enough to catch my breath between events & to do’s — not since my birthday, these flowers & a cake I enjoyed making too much to photograph. They weren’t for my birthday, but for someone else’s, but it really was the joy of creating this arrangement however way the color yellow called to me, foraging for delicate peonies, garden roses & stems that would make these uniquely special🌿

Not the most picturesque photo of these beautiful florals (you can swipe for those), but I’m quite enamored w. this shot … perhaps it’s that gentle reminder to slow down & take note of the in-between…
