This DIY family sundae kit gift idea is perfect for neighbors, family members and friends! This kit includes everything but the ice cream and is the perfect family gift idea! I’ll show you how to make it extra cute.

We always aim to plan fun family activities on our weekends and this DIY Family Sundae Kit is the perfect activity for every family! It’s fun to make for your own family and it also makes a great neighbor gift, family gift idea or dessert to bring to an outdoor BBQ or even gift as a fun Christmas present.

 

DIY Family Sundae Kit With Hershey Syrup
 

To make your own DIY Family Sundae Kit you’ll need a tray or a box. I opted for this pretty tray but you could easily use a cardboard box too! I like the boxes that have the cover attached that fold into themselves to shut. That would be perfect if you are making this for a gift.

Then get some colorful tissue paper and line the bottom of your tray with it.

 

DIY Family Sundae Kit With Hershey Syrup
 

You’ll need lots of ice cream toppings! Start out with Hershey’s Syrup in Strawberry, Chocolate, Caramel and Special Dark Chocolate flavors.

Then add lots of candy toppings! We picked up Hershey’s Mini Kisses, Hershey’s Mint Chocolate Chips, HEATH Miniatures, ROLO Minis, KITKAT Minis, Reese’s Pieces, and sprinkles. You’ll also need small, clear plastic bags to package the candies in.

I filled each of the bags and then stapled them shut. I found cute little stickers that I used to write the name of each candy on and affixed them to the bags of candy.

I also included waffle cones which I packaged in a large clear bag. I grabbed some Hershey’s ice cream sundae cups and mini spoons which I found as part of a kit at Target (or here on amazon).

I also included an ice cream scoop. The only thing your recipient will need to add is ice cream! Next use some baker’s twine to tie around the Hershey’s syrups and the spoons to give it a special touch.

Then assemble it all in your tray. I grabbed a $1 chalkboard sign in the dollar spot at Target and made a sign for my Family Sundae Kit. Now it’s all ready for a fun Sundae get together! Give it as a gift to a neighbor, family or bring it along to your next get together!

We brought our Family Sundae Kit to the cabin where my husband’s family always has big get togethers on Sunday. We went out on our boat and had some amazing, quality family time together. Then we gathered around the picnic table and we all enjoyed our sundaes! Everyone LOVED picking out all their toppings and Hershey’s Syrup. It was so much fun putting different concoctions together!

    Good evening! I’m stopping by from the Inspiration Monday. After seeing this basket and reading that it’s all ready to give to a friend, I was very sad that you and I are not friends if this is the type of awesome gift you give yours! 🙂 This looks so marvelous, I can’t wait to make one! What a great idea!

    Thanks a bunch!

    This looks like a great way for the family to reconnect this Summer. We live in SoCal, so there’s nothing quite like a fresh sundae on a lazy Summer afternoon.

    I just love this idea! Not only would it make a great gift (especially for those with a summer birthday) but what a huge hit it would be a food gatherings. Make a big batch of homemade vanilla ice cream and you’re good to go. Thanks for the inspiration!

      I found it at Target in the Home section! It is actually a tray. I would guess it’s about 24 inches by 18 inches.

    I’m so glad I stumbled upon this. I’m planning to make two of these: one for my best friend’s family (2 adults, 4 young children), and another for my sister’s family (2 adults, 2 young children). It’ll be the perfect gift for two families that don’t need stuff. Disposable + family bonding = a mom’s dream come true.
