Celebrate Spring with a Basket of Fruit

Spring is just around the corner, and a basket of fruit is the perfect decoration to celebrate spring. Whether you want to bring a touch of spring to your desk at work or to your home a beautiful basket of fresh spring oranges and grapefruits will bring all the freshness and hope of spring inside. A basket of citrus fruits will also give you a plentiful supply of delicious and healthy citrus fruits which will help you lose weight and get ready for all those light spring and summer clothes. Sending a basket of fruit to a friend or family member is a great way to get the people you love into the spring spirit. Nothing captures spring better than the sweet and light taste of fresh oranges. Citrus fruit baskets are perfect for Easter, and they are much healthier since they are not filled with processed sugar and chocolate.

Traditionally citrus fruits are considered to be winter gifts, and they are prized during the winter because throughout history it was difficult and expensive to get fresh citrus during the cold winter months. But giving oranges and other citrus fruits in gift baskets is just as appropriate for Valentine’s Day, Easter and other spring and summer holidays. Spring weddings, birthdays, graduations and anniversaries are all great occasions to send a basket of fruit as a gift. If you don’t want your family to over indulge on chocolate this Easter holiday get a basket of fruit for the family to share with some gourmet chocolates and have your family eat both sweet spring oranges and grapefruits as well as chocolate. Some parents find that a good way to encourage their children to make better food choices and choose healthy fruit over chocolate candy is to change the rules about snacking on candy. Many parents find that if they make the kids eat a piece of fruit before eating candy the kids will eat far less candy, which will keep them healthy and help them learn to control their portions.

A basket of fruit can also be a base for other spring decorations. You can use a fruit basket as a centerpiece for a spring table, or keep one on the counter with candles and other decorative items surrounding it. The basket of fruit will provide healthy snacks and a lot of cheer which will help get everyone in your household into the spring spirit.
