Improvise, any small container will work and placing them in the freezer
for 1/2 an hour is usually sufficient to chill them.

If you live near a "Chinatown" you can get lovely little covered
porcelain bowels of about 1/2 cup volume that are nicely decorated and
quite inexpensive, 1 - 2 dollars apiece, originally i was getting them
for 75 cents per till the owner of the store decided i liked them enough
to pay more for them.
