Fresh Fruit Gift Baskets For Xmas, Birthdays and Special Occasions

In an increasingly unhealthy but health conscious society, fruit gets a lot of publicity these days. Government campaigns promote the consumption of at least 5 portions of fresh fruit and vegetables every day, and fruit can be a particularly enjoyable way to eat healthily. Fruit, then, can make a tasty and healthy gift, and when presented in an attractive fresh fruit gift basket, can be made to look very special.

It has long been a tradition to take fruit as a gift to sick friends and relatives, especially when they are in hospital. Fresh fruit is, indeed, a health giving food; however it would be such a pity to confine the giving of fruit just to the unwell.

Fresh fruit makes a tasty and health gift for all. While it may be most attractive to someone who is on a health conscious diet, during a period of over consumption in the Christmas holiday season a basket of fresh fruit may be an appealing change to just about anyone. Get enough fruit variety in the basket, and you may even persuade an overweight friend or relative to switch to a better diet permanently.

Fruit gift baskets can be very attractive, especially if professionally arranged, echoing harvest festival arrangements in churches around the world. Being so varied in colour and shape, fruits are natural materials for an artistic arranger.

 

The three fruit baskets shown here all look delicious. The first pictured is simply Classic, with Beurre Bosc , Imperial Comice and Red Sensation Pears, mixed with oranges, apples and two sseasonal fruits.

The middle picture is of the irresistible tropical fruit basket, with exotic fresh fruits from California. This basket includes: 1 Golden Pineapple, 2 Exotic Mangoes, 4 Navel Oranges, 1 Papaya, 3 Cabana limes, 2 Lemons, 3 Kiwis, and 1 Ruby Red Grapefruit.

The final picture is not just a gift basket of fruit. This particular fruit gift is a monthly fruit club, a super personalized gift which can be for 3, 6, 9 or 12 months. Fruits vary depending on the season, so over a full year the recipient will get a good variety of fresh fruit delivered to their door.
