Fruit Baskets Aren’t Just for Christmas Anymore

Everyone is familiar with sending gift fruit baskets during the Christmas and New Year holidays. The beauty of fruit baskets is that fruit is available all year long and you can send joy to those you care about any time of the year.

At any given time of year, different fruits are being harvested. Due to the varying climates throughout the country, it seems that some type of fruit is always in season. Also, because on-line gift basket retailers have numerous resources, they have ways of finding the best fruit in any season.

Spring is a great time brighten any home or office and chase away the gloominess of winter with a bright and colorful gift basket of fresh fruits. Some of the favorite spring fruits are strawberries, cherries and certain varieties of citrus. A basket brimming with fresh fruits is a healthy alternative to the traditional sugar and fat laden Easter basket. Parents would certainly appreciate the opportunity for their children to enjoy a nutritious treat rather than overindulging on jelly beans and chocolate bunnies. Fresh fruit is also a wonderful option for Passover gifts. A wonderful Passover basket might include a variety of Kosher snacks in addition to the fresh fruit.

As the temperatures climb in the summer, what better way to relax and cool off than with fresh fruit. Many summertime fruits call to mind tropical destinations and exotic vacations. Celebrate the summer by sending a fruit basket that includes traditional favorites such as berries, peaches and plums. If you want to evoke a more exotic feel, be sure to include tropical delights such as mangoes or pineapples.

The celebration of the harvest is the overall theme of fall. What better way to celebrate than with fall fruits like apples, pears, persimmons, pomegranates and grapes. Also in the late fall, the harvest for citrus begins. Your fall fruit basket can include the colors of fall as well as the tastes of fall. Additionally, there are many specialty apples and pears available only during fall that will make your gift basket extra special. A fruit basket is much healthier than Halloween candy, pleasing to the eye and fun to eat. During Thanksgiving, the fruit basket you send can double as the perfect centerpiece for the holiday table.
