I can't help you out with other suggestions, but I will share this tip:

When making the ice cream cone cupcakes, I found that if you make them even a day in advance the cone gets mushy by the next day. I always found it best to make these on the day of the party. I know it makes more work, but the cones will stay fresher.

Have fun!!

how about ice cream lip balm? i know avon has had them in different flavor- perhaps the dollar store too but avon is usaually cheaper than $1 each...

I love that idea! Maybe you could make the little lip balm holders for them (there's examples in the gallery) and decorate with an ice cream cone stamp, or stickers.

I was going to say chap stick too. I know Target sells a nail polish by NYC and it is about $1 each and they have a pale pink color called cotton candy, I am wondering if they have something that would work for ice cream flavors. Or maybe find ice cream cone nail decals?

Dollar stores sometimes have bubbles that are in little ice cream cone containers. I also think the chap stick sounds really cute.
