Fruit Baskets are Easy Ways to Decorate for the Holidays

This year keep your holiday budget under control by decorating with beautiful fruit baskets. Fruit baskets are both a gift and a decoration because when the holiday parties are over you and your family can eat the fruit, or you can give the fruit away as holiday party favors. Having extra fruit around for decoration also ensures that you won’t run out of fresh citrus fruit to be used in punch, cocktails or desserts. The delicious fruit makes a great dessert alternative for guests who can’t eat sugar or prefer not to eat processed foods too. Decorating with fruit baskets is easy because there are so many ways that you can use bright oranges, grapefruits and other citrus fruits to liven up your holiday decorations. You can use citrus basket to:

Liven up dark corners – Do you have an entryway that is a little dark? Or maybe a corner by the stairs that is always too dark for plants? Place a plant stand or decorative table in those places and place a festive citrus fruit basket brimming with bright citrus fruit and holiday ribbons into those areas. You can even string some white holiday lights around the basket and plug in the lights to add a festive air and give your guests some light in a dark hallway or entryway. Fruit baskets place on low tables around chairs and couches will give your guests the chance to grab a snack without having to get up and they will look cheerful and pretty.

Keep fruit close at hand – A large mixed citrus basket near some of the high traffic areas of the party will make sure that whenever you need a piece of fresh citrus fruit you have it. Place one on the kitchen counter so you can grab an orange or a grapefruit to fresh up sauces and hot dishes as they go out to the party. Keep a large bowl of mixed citrus fruit near the punch so you can add more citrus juice to the punch when you refill the bowl or put a few more slices of orange in the punch as a garnish. You should always keep a festive and very large fruit basket near the bar so that whoever is mixing the drinks will have easy access to grapefruits, oranges and tangerines to use in holiday cocktails. Guests will also enjoy being able to pick their own citrus fruit snacks from the fruit baskets that are spread around throughout the party.
