Buying Gifts of Fruit on a Budget

Gifts of fruit may look like they are really expensive because they look so delicious and fresh but really they are very affordable. When you need to buy a lot of gifts for friends and family members for birthdays or holidays buying gifts of fruit is a very economical way to get great gifts that will fit into any budget. These days so many people are trying to cut down on their expenses that many people are cutting fresh fruit out of their grocery budgets entirely which makes gifts of fruit a really welcome gift because it gives your friends and family members the healthy, vitamin filled fruit they may be going without to save money. Gorgeous baskets full of Florida oranges and grapefruit are gifts that are in season throughout the year so you can buy gifts of fruit for every occasion. If you have a little more money to spend and you want to make your gift a little fancier you can add on chocolates, nuts, and other gourmet items. But, if you have a lot of gifts of fruit to buy or if you are working with a strict budget here are some ways to buy delicious fruit gifts on a budget:

Assemble the gifts of fruit yourself – If you have a lot of gifts to make, for example if you are making gifts of fruit to be centerpieces for a wedding reception or event, you can save money by ordering a large box of citrus fruit and assembling the gifts yourself. You can buy bulk oranges and other fruit directly from the grower for a very low cost. Then you can parcel the fruit in that box out into individual centerpieces or individual gifts. A mixed fruit assortment that contains all the citrus fruit that is currently in season is a great value for making your own gifts of fruit.

Send one gift per family – Instead of buying individual gifts of fruit for everyone in a household order one large gift, like a fruit tower or a large fruit basket, for everyone in the house to share. This is also a great way to cut down on the cost of buying gifts for co-workers during the holiday season. Send a large fruit basket or fruit assortment to the office for everyone to share and you can give succulent gifts of fruit without breaking your budget.
