Blue Bell Has the Sweetest Gift I’m Giving Everyone I Know

What do you get for the foodie who has everything? You could opt for a striking edible gift, such as a five-foot-tall Lindt Advent Calendar or Tillamook’s cheesy version—or, perhaps, a new cast-iron pan that will instantly level up pizza nights. Alternatively, you can shop for something that lets them express their style, such as a Heinz ketchup-inspired suitcase or pair of M&M’s Crocs.

But if your loved one is more into trinkets, you can’t go wrong with a branded keychain or holiday decorations featuring their favorite snack cakes.

Recently, we were scrolling through Blue Bell’s website and came across the perfect gift collection for ice cream lovers. The best part is that it’s one they will appreciate for years to come.

Blue Bell’s Holiday Glass Ornament Collection

Blue Bell has a present made for ice cream’s biggest fans: Christmas ornaments. These 3D glass decorations are a fun addition to any tree and come in multiple designs made to look like your favorite half gallon of Blue Bell. You can pick Homemade Vanilla, Cookie Two Step, or choose one of the brand’s holiday flavors, such as Peppermint, Peppermint Bark, or Christmas Cookies.

In addition, you can choose a Mooo Bar Glass Ornament fashioned after the brand’s chocolate-covered bar or a metal gold-colored ornament with Blue Bell’s slogan, “The Best Ice Cream in the Country.” Gift seekers can also snag the Kitty Keller Ornament, a one-of-a-kind hand-painted bulb featuring an illustrated green pasture scene with hearts, a cow, and a tub of Blue Bell ice cream. 

On Amazon, reviewers have nothing but praise for the adorable ornaments. “It’s a little bigger than I expected, which is a good thing. It’s about the size of a standard ball ornament. Would definitely recommend,” said one person. 

Another came across the glass tubs and immediately fell in love. “This ornament was bought in memory of a friend who loved Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream,” they wrote. “I searched it by chance, and found it on Amazon, and it turned out to be one of my best holiday purchases for a gift.”

One of shoppers’ favorite parts of this find is the packaging. If you want it to be a surprise, look away. But if you don’t mind a spoiler, read on.

Blue Bell sends this ornament in the sweetest packaging we could imagine. Each comes carefully wrapped inside a matching half-gallon ice cream tub, just like the one you’d find in the grocery store, which makes it the perfect gift for any white elephant parties.

“This was a nice surprise, having the ornament packaged in a real ice cream container was a big hit at Christmas!” raved one fan. Another said it was the “perfect wrapping.”

Blue Bell’s ornaments start at $17.99 and can be purchased on the brand’s website, as well as Amazon. Be sure to order early to ensure you get your favorite varieties, and keep an eye out for Blue Bell’s holiday ice cream flavors, which are expected to roll out to stores in the coming weeks.
