Citrus Fruit Baskets Contain More Than Just Fruit
To paraphrase an old TV commercial, the gift of a citrus fruit basket sends the message that you care enough to send the very best. Many people serve candies and cakes as holiday gifts or present them as treats and enticements for their celebrations. Some people send small but relatively impractical gifts like soaps and other bathroom refinements. How many people really use the soaps in a soap gift basket?)These gifts are fine, but they don’t convey the several different kinds of messages as the gourmet assorted fruit gift basket.
The Unlikely Surprise of Gourmet Fruit
By “gourmet” we mean fruit baskets that contain only the finest citrus and other assorted fruits, culled from the finest orchards at the peak of their growing season. Citrus fruit baskets present an amazing variety of tastes and textures, so they’re pleasing to people of all ages and all walks of life.
The finest citrus fruit is easy to identify, too. You’ll see the freshness in the vibrant colors and sweet, soft rinds that contain their juicy pulp. Fresh citrus fruit is typically available in supermarkets throughout the country, but for the very freshest varieties of oranges, tangelos, ruby red grapefruit, and tangerines you should order direct from the farms themselves. Thanks to the beauty of the Internet, this is easier than you might expect.
What You’ll Get in an Assorted Gift Basket
The assorted fruit basket lives up to its name by bringing its recipient a selection of fresh citrus fruits to sample, devour, or otherwise enjoy at their own pace. Typical holiday gift baskets include oranges, ruby red grapefruit, tangelos, and probably many other different kinds of fruit.
For those gift-givers looking for something more unusual than a basket, the gift fruit tower and fruit bowl options offer fruit basket recipients a different kind of spectacle. Fruit towers are basically pyramids of fruit, stacked high into a vertically-based presentation that also doubles as an exciting centerpiece for dining room tables and home entranceways. The fruit bowl is similar to the basket, made of durable and reusable ceramic and sculpted to fit any kitchen d?cor.
When to Order
As mentioned above, many fruits enjoy their peak seasons only during certain times of the year, so it’s important to know what’s available when you order. Many kinds of citrus fruits, including Florida oranges, are available mostly in November and December, so citrus fruit baskets are perfect holiday season gifts.
