Ice cream subscription

[sleepachu]

Weird question I know but you know the subscriptions you get (flowers, craft beer etc) - has anyone seen anything like it with ice cream? Want to get my dad one for Christmas and can't find one. Alternatively is there any way to arrange a regular supermarket delivery of one item? Or get vouchers for it?

Could you make him some vouchers and send an online shop order?

I imagine the cost of shipping it frozen would probably make it uneconomical as a single item delivery. It would have to either be in a lorry with a freezer like supermarkets so you have to be in when it arrives, or shipped on dry ice, also expensive.

Great idea though!

I thought that. I might just work out the price of x amount of ice cream in his local supermarket, set up a direct debit to him for that amount monthly, and make vouchers explaining he can pick them up there...does that work as a present?

Or buy a gift card/cards, and put it together in an ice cream-themed package?

Eg dish, spoon, scoop. Ice magic??

It sounds like a lovely idea. I'd be really pleased to get that for a present don't tell the other posters on the Slimming World thread.

Oh, so cute! I think he'll love that. Weirdly though, I can't find any mention of co op gift cards on their website (my parents live a million miles from any shop other than the co op thats on their street - my dad's in there about 20 times a day just chatting rubbish to people ). I'll see if you can buy them in store. Oh I love Christmas gifting!

Does the local milkman deliver it?

Buy an ice cream makers and ingredients??

Don't think there is a local milkman unfortunately. He's got an ice cream maker somewhere, but he never uses it. He just likes eating whole tubs of ice cream, preferably Mackie's, straight from the box gross for the rest of us but at least he'll like it. Why are dads so hard to buy for?

A few years ago dd got dp an ice cream gift set, we got a proper scoop, ice cream sundae glass and loads of toppings, sauces etc. It would be a nice thing to open to go with his vouchers

Aw that sounds so nice, will definitely have a look for one!

Maybe buy him one of the fancier ice cream makers that don't need pre freezing?
The normal ones you have to put in the freezer overnight and I never have enough room for it permanently and so when I get the urge can't be bothered to wait a day for it to freeze!

We get Mackies ice cream in the small tubs at the panto. What about trying to get him a box of that delivered so 12 or 24 (however it comes!) little tubs just for him?
