Ice-Cream-Shaped Handheld Fans: cute look, serious sell-through (manual or USB)

Handheld ice-cream-cone fans in two proven variants—battery-free hand-press (toy-like, ultra-safe) and USB-rechargeable (3-speed, longer runtime). Great for summer promos, theme parks, kids’ stores, gift/party packs, and pop-ups.

What it is

Manual hand-press (battery-free): squeeze-to-spin mini fan, typically around 8.5 × 4 × 18 cm; ships in display boxes for impulse pegs.

USB-rechargeable: 3-speed pocket fan; common builds list ~500 mAh cells with up to ~8 hours runtime (speed-dependent).

Form factor: ice-cream cone or popsicle styling; some models include neck-wear lanyards for hands-free use.

Why it sells (retail & e-com)

1. Instant giftability. Kawaii/cute design = easy add-on with toys, candy, and summer goods.

2. Two price ladders. Entry manual version for party fillers & school stores; USB version for higher AOV bundles.

3. Family-friendly safety. Manual versions avoid batteries; USB builds use soft/low-noise micro fans for kids/teens travel.

4. Compact & portable. Pocketable sizes (≈13.7 × 7.2 cm on small builds) make checkout pegs and snack-bag inserts easy.
