This year, Messina is making it very easy for you to show up your siblings and win Christmas, with a new range of luxe ice cream-inspired gift sets.

The sets don’t contain actual gelato (for good reason), but they do contain ice cream and dessert-related accessories, as well as condiments and gifts from local producers that have collaborated with Messina in the past.

If you know someone who insists on eating ice cream straight from the tub, you might want to gift them a set of ceramic gelato bowls matched with 24ct gold-plated ice cream spoons by Sydney ceramicist Milly Dent. Available in pistachio and burnt orange, the brightly-coloured bowls are the perfect size for a double scoop. They even come with a $20 Messina voucher so you can put them to the test.

Other gifts include a limited edition Messina Creative Department x Maison Balzac candle set, which was inspired by key Messina gelato flavours, a trio of dessert spreads for your next waffle cone at home, as well as a hamper of assorted condiments from local chefs and producers.

It doesn’t matter how difficult someone is to buy for, just remember, everyone likes ice cream.
