A Basket of Fruit is the Perfect Desk Decoration

Some workplaces have very strict rules about decorating your desk or cubicle, and often workers are not allowed to decorate freely. Plants are usually not allowed because of the risk that co-workers may be allergic and because if they are not properly cared for they can die and make the office look bad. However, keeping a basket of fruit on your desk is colorful and fun, like a plant, but it also is full of delicious and healthy snacks. Best of all your HR department shouldn’t have a problem with you keeping a basket of fruit on your desk.

Keeping a basket of citrus fruit on your desk means that you won’t have to go searching for healthy snacks when you need a quick energy snack. You can munch an orange or a grapefruit at your desk and get the healthy energy you need to keep working. Since the natural sugars in citrus fruit are easy for your body to break down and use as energy you won’t end up with a nasty blood sugar crash either. Having oranges and other citrus fruits close by will keep you from spending extra money on snacks and from blowing your diet by eating hundreds of extra calories each day in the forms of chips and chocolate bars. Most citrus fruits have under one hundred calories each, making them the ideal sweet snack to help you get through the day.

You can buy fruit baskets in all different sizes and containers so no matter how small your desk or cubicle are you will be able to find one that will fit perfectly into the space that you have. The bright colors of the fruit will help make your workspace a little cheerier and more welcoming. Moreover, you can re-use the basket or container over and over again. Once your basket of fruit is empty you can order more citrus fruit directly from the grower at discounted rates when you buy in bulk. You can use the same basket and keep refilling it with the citrus fruit you love. Don’t be surprised if your desk becomes the most popular gathering spot in the office though, since everyone is going to want to stop by and ask for a piece of fruit whenever they need a snack that will fill them up and give them energy without a lot of empty calories or processed sugar.
