What about looking around for some kind of small plastic, or better Styrofoam, bucket or cup to slip inside? Something like the ones you get for ice in hotels? As the plastic ones are mass produced, you should be able to get some cheap. Check with a local hotel or a restaurant supply for a source.
I do think you are on target here though. I think this would be a lovely gift.

They used to make ice boxes of wood, but they were mostly doublewalled and had some kind of insulation between the walls. Tom [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
