Gifts for Neighbors and Friends

Popcorn Gift BasketsI always try to find something a little different every year to give as gifts to neighbors and friends. Cookies take so much time to bake every year!

This year, I've decided to make little movie theater "popping" baskets. This way, the recipients can make their own buttery delcious popcorn for movies at home! To start, I'm going to fill a reusable popcorn bucket with all the supplies. For the supplies i'll add popcorn kernels, popping oil, flavacol, and some popcorn flavorings. That's everything to create an at home movie theater experience.

Check out our popcorn supplies category for different options.

Sno Kones vs. Shave Ice

Depending on where you grew up, you may remember enjoying a Sno Kone or a Shave Ice (also known as a Snowball) as a child. Don't know the difference? Sno Kone is a loosely used term for a frozen ice treat. However, there is a large diference between a Sno Kone and Shave Ice.

The major difference is the ice and whether it's shaved or crushed. Sno Kones used cubed ice through there machines which finely crush the ice. It is then scooped into a cone and topped with syrup. Shave Ice however traditionally uses ice blocks. Blades shave these blocks (or cubes) to create a snow-like texture. Instead of scooping, the cup is held underneath while the ice is being shaved. Think of it more like Soft Serve vs. Hard Ice Cream in terms of texture and serving. Shave Ice is also topped with a flavoring that can be syrup or a custard style.

One advantage you may find with Shave Ice vendors is that they tend to offer a larger variety of flavors. Sno Kones tend to be limited to 5 different flavors. Either way, both treats are delicious and refreshing on a hot summers day.

How do you put Cotton Candy in bags
Bagging cotton candy is a simple process that ensures freshness and presentation. Start by creating a large, firm serving of cotton candy on a stick. Carefully hold the bag open with one hand while gently twisting the cotton candy cone into the bag with the other. Once inside, twist the bag securely around the cone, tie it, and display it for sale. Sales Tips: To maximize sales, vary the cotton candy colors every 10–25 cones, maintain a full and visually appealing display, and always use high-quality Gold Medal Flossugar for the best results.
