Tips for Choosing the Right Citrus Fruit Gift Basket

Choosing the right gift basket for holidays, birthday, weddings and other occasions is tough for many people. With so many kinds of citrus fruit gift baskets available it can be tough to choose the perfect basket for different occasions but choosing the right basket or fruit arrangement does not have to be a stress inducing task. Citrus fruit baskets are always a great gift choice, so no matter what basket or arrangement you choose your recipient will enjoy but if you want to choose a gift that will really wow the recipient here are some things to consider when you are choosing a basket:

Consider who the gift is for – If the gift is for someone that loves high end or exotic foods then a basket of Clementines, which are only available for a short period of time every year and are a gourmet treat, is a great gift. A fruit basket with chocolate, jam, or other treats is also a great gift for a gourmet food lover. If the gift is for a family with many children then a fresh fruit assortment with lots of fresh oranges and grapefruits which are popular with kids is the perfect gift. If the gift is for a baby shower then an assortment of citrus fruits which are high in Folate, which pregnant women need in order to be healthy, is a lovely gift. A gift basket sent to clients, customers or vendors should include a variety of items so that there is something in the basket that will please everyone.

Consider the container – Gift baskets come in many different types of containers and arrangements. Choosing a gift arrangements in a sturdy, large basket will give the recipient a nice storage piece alone with a delicious treat, but a citrus arrangement in a pretty gift box may be more practical for some recipients. The container that the fruit comes in is a part of the gift so choose an arrangement in a container that will be useful for the recipient of the gift. If the recipient of the basket is someone who probably would not use a basket for storage or for decoration you might want to consider giving that person a citrus fruit tower or a fruit assortment that has pretty, sturdy boxes that can be reused for many different purposes instead of a traditional basket.
