For the ice fisher in your life, consider homemade gifts. But, begin weeks before the holiday! If your ice fisher is a loved one, you can prepare batches of homemade soups and chili, package them in plastic containers and add a festive touch by wrapping them in foil, adding red ribbons and personalizing with labels. What a treat to fill up a thermos with a favorite hearty soup for a day out on the ice fishing! Also much in demand while sitting out on an ice-covered lake are cookies and these can be prepared in the shape of fish with a decorative touch and placed in the freezer. Remember to hide your homemade gifts by storing them in a friend's freezer or hiding them behind large items in your garage deep freezer until the holiday.

If a thermos is needed by your ice fisher, consider buying two: One for hot beverages and the other one wide-mouthed for hot soups or chili. When these are holiday-wrapped, add a card with poetry written by you incorporating the fact homemade soups and chili are in the freezer. Your card should be illustrated in a colorful and funny way - consider visiting a craft store for the accessories to personalize it.
