Fantastic Fruit

The classic fruit gift basket is a great gift for family, friends and coworkers. The Christmas citrus sampler is almost a tradition in some families. But fruit gift baskets aren't just for the holidays, they are great anytime.

In addition to the classic citrus fruit in a gift basket or box, there are options that include apples, pears, pineapples, and all manner of domestic and exotic fruits. If you prefer a little more variety, look for fruit gift baskets that also include crackers, cheeses, and sweet dips such as chocolate sauce or caramel.

Fruit gift baskets range in price from about $20 for a small sampler to over $300 for deluxe arrangements. There are also a variety of sizes available, making suitable gifts for everyone from your child's teacher to the whole family.

A fruit gift basket is a thoughtful choice for expressing sympathy, saying thank you, or corporate gift giving. With such a wide range of choices, it's possible to find something in any price range. For long distance gift giving, online retailers can ship your fruit basket. For something a bit different, try a fruit and flowers gift basket.

Besides being tasty, a fruit gift basket is also among the healthier options for food gift baskets. If you know someone who is careful about eating well, they will appreciate your thoughtful choice in gifts. Fruit is also a great choice for families with children, rather than a basket of sweets or cookies, and can be enjoyed by everyone unlike more adult choices such as caviar or wine.

A fruit gift basket is both decorative and delicious. Recipients will be delighted both with the appearance and the thought behind such a lovely gift. In addition, with people becoming ever more health conscious, a fruit basket is a guilt-free gift that the whole family can enjoy.
