Affordable Fruit Baskets Online

The fruit basket was one of the first gifts designed specifically for corporate clients. No one knows exactly who invented it or when, but we do know that it was first offered by florists during the late 1940s. Shortly after the Second World War, American business was on the rise, especially in the urban areas.
Executives were on the lookout for simple gives to send to clients and colleagues during the holidays. But the only gift that could be ordered over the phone was a bouquet of flowers.

The fruit basket was created to meet the growing demand for new corporate gifts. Florists would purchase fruit from local fruit stands, arrange them in baskets, wrap them in cellophane, and have them delivered to local businesses. Because these baskets and delivery was quite expensive, the fruit basket
remained a corporate gift for decades. It was not until sellers offered fruit baskets online that they became affordable for average citizens.

Fruit baskets are can now be purchased for as little as twenty on the Internet. They are no longer just a corporate gift. People purchase fruit baskets online for birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, and on holidays. Not surprisingly, the catalogue of the average fruit delivery company has grown in recent years to include dozens of different arrangements. Let us take a moment to discuss them.

Standard Fruit Basket

When fruit baskets were first introduced that were quite limited when it came to fruit varieties and arrangements. Most sellers only offered one or two prearranged baskets that included the most popular fruits, like oranges, apples, and pears. But today, shoppers who order fruit baskets online can customize their baskets to include a variety of demotic and exotic fruits.

Specialty Items

Fruit lovers can also order trays, crates, and boxes of rare fruit from online sellers. Why would anyone buy fruit on the internet? Because rare fruit varieties are seldom shipped out of state and the only way to get them is to order them directly from a fruit supplier. Growers in Florida, for example, cultivate hundreds of rare and sought after citrus varieties that are only sold locally. Purchasing fruit baskets online is the only way for fruit conniseurs who do not reside in the Sunshine State to enjoy these rare varieties.
