Why Florida Citrus Gift Baskets Make Excellent Presents

Many people find themselves struggling to come up with good gift ideas for the people on their holiday shopping lists. Even beyond the holidays, it can be difficult to find the right birthday present for the person who has everything. There is one thoughtful present that is sure to wow just about any recipient. Florida citrus gift baskets are impressive, tasty and always well-received.

Florida citrus gift baskets can be as beautiful as they are practical which is why they are so enthusiastically received. These gifts are totally tasteful and useful. Who doesn’t like to bite into a juicy Valencia orange or delicious Ruby Red grapefruit? Florida citrus gift baskets present these items and more when the giver gets creative. Plus, they are an inexpensive gift option that enables people to give gifts to more loved ones than pricier present options.

In addition to being affordable, Florida citrus gift baskets are highly customizable. This means that even the most finicky recipient on a gift giver’s list can be pleased. For example, if a person is not particularly fond of standard Navel oranges, the Florida citrus gift basket can be comprised of fruit such as Pineapple, Hamlin or Ambersweet oranges. Items like Flame, Marsh, Duncan or Thompson grapefruit can also mix things up a bit. For the citrus connoisseur, specialty fruit adds a bit of gourmet flair.

Of course, there is also a lot that can be done with the outside of the Florida citrus gift basket. From orange cellophane and ribbons to citrus colored bows, the basket itself can add a lot to the presentation.

On top of being filled with irresistibly delicious items, Florida citrus gift baskets are great for the American economy. These days, many standard gifts are made outside of the United States. By purchasing those items instead of something made in America, people are supporting the economies of other countries rather than their own. All of the fruit found in Florida citrus gift baskets is grown in the United States, making them practical and patriotic presents.

In fact, there are approximately 20 citrus processing plants and 40 citrus packinghouses in Florida. Almost 100,000 Floridians work in the citrus industry or in a business that is related to it. That adds up to around $1 billion in tax revenues that goes to support American schools, highways and healthcare services. When people give Florida citrus gift baskets, they are also helping to support this important piece of the United States economy.
