Just Add Ice Cream

The Xmas period is always a time for sharing, reflecting on the year, taking that long deserved rest and especially spending time with friends and family.

The build up for xmas however can be stressful especially when you want to give something a little different to those who you love and tresure.

This year I decided to surprise my whanau with a wonderful gift idea.  For the kids I provided all the necessities needed to make an ice cream sundae ... all that was required from the recipient was the ice - cream.

For the adults, some homemade sweets, sugar scrubs, chutney and some other bits a bobs to help the adults feel loved and pampered. 

I discussed the idea with my husband and daughters and 3 days leading up to Xmas day, we set out putting everything together.

The end result was fantastic!!!!  As for the reactions to the gifts?  It was so much more than what I expected.


Gift wrapped cones, brandy baskets, sprinkles and even a couple of smores.

The adults gift.  Homemade sugar scrub, cookes, herbed salt, chocolates, hot chocolate and so much more


Beautifully gift wrapped with colourful ribbon

All lined up ready to be presented on xmas day to the whanau ...yes there were many more than whats in the photo

This was such a wonderful gift idea and I encourage anyone to give it a go.

Have a great night!!
