I have a page dedicated to the ice tools that I use and recommend, but this post is centered on splurge ice gifts. 

Clear Ice Makers

Assuming you're not gifting someone a refrigerator with built-in clear ice maker (those exist now), here are some ice makers. 

The Ghost Ice Compact system is super sturdy and I use mine all the time. 

I have not used one of the Wintersmiths ice makers but have heard good things about them. 

There's a newish device for making clear ice called the Klaris. 

Ice Chisel for Carving Ice Diamonds

I use this one. 

Ice Ball Press

I use this one from Cocktail Kingdom. They also have a larger one on their website. 

Ice Designer

Once you've got clear ice, press patterns on it with the Ice Designer.
