The Fruit Gift Basket -- A Classic Choice
For ages, the fruit gift basket has been given to express appreciation, congratulations and even sympathy. There's no gift more practical or eye-catching than a pretty basket filled to the brim with colorful and delicious fruits. It's simple to make a fruit gift basket, or purchase one that's already made.
Because fruit is perishable, it's crucial to prepare or purchase your gift basket right before you're ready to give or ship it. To create your own custom gift basket, you'll first need the basket. Go for an attractive wicker basket or wooden box. Then, fill with shredded paper almost to the top. Next, it's time to add the fruit. Go for fruit that is in season and isn't fully ripe yet.
The largest fruits should go in first. Good choices include cantaloupe, honeydew melon and pineapple. Medium sized fruits go in next. Examples include apples, pears, peaches, mangos, and coconuts. The smallest fruits go in last. Good choices include green and purple grapes, bananas, kiwi, apples, oranges and pomegranates. For a great finishing touch, wrap your basket in clear or colored cellophane or plastic wrap and finish with a pretty bow.
If you want to buy a ready made fruit gift basket, check out the selections at http://www.gifttree.com. You can choose from a wide variety of baskets, like the classy Elegance to Spare basket.
