5 Ways Gourmet Fruit Delivery Beats Flowers for Mother’s Day

Are you planning on sending your Mom flowers for Mother’s Day – AGAIN? Hey, don’t let us stop you…she’ll probably appreciate the thought. But don’t blame us if you notice her eyes look a little glazed over when she FaceTimes to thank you! Flowers are pretty and all that, but they’re kind of a Mother’s Day cliché at this point (particularly if your siblings have sent them, too).

You might be asking, what’s the alternative? Now that you’re an adult Mom isn’t so into homemade cards with a tulip made from a construction paper cutout of your hand anymore, and she’s already told you she has everything (this is a trap, by the way, but you probably already know that). Plus she’s your MOM…you love her and you want to get her something good; it’s just hard to keep coming up with good ideas.

Considering fruit gift boxes are Hale Groves’ specialty, it shouldn’t surprise you that we advocate sending fruit in the mail as an alternative to flowers. But to our way of thinking, gifts of fruit easily equal the appeal of flowers. Consider this:

• Flowers are colorful and pretty. Well, so is an online fruit basket brimming with brilliant oranges, tangerines and grapefruits!
• Flowers smell nice. We doubt flowers can beat the smell of a citrus gift for freshness and appeal! There are few scents that beat the invigorating, spring-like odor of citrus. Many try to bottle it, but nothing can replace the real thing!
• Flowers are great when you’re not sure what to get. If Mom lives at a distance, you might not be as sure about what she’s into these days. But if you know she loves fruit (and you probably should, considering she’s the one who fed you while you were growing up) you can be sure of getting her a surprise you know she’ll enjoy when you send fruits online!
• Flowers say, “I’m thinking of you.” So do holiday fruit gifts – in fact, we’ll argue that an online fruit delivery says it even better than flowers since it saves Mom a trip to the grocery store!

5 Ways Gourmet Fruit Delivery From Hale Groves Beats Flowers for Mother’s Day

1. Sending fruit by mail saves Mom a trip to the store. These days especially, Mom might appreciate having a good reason to skip the store and stay home. Even when there’s not a pandemic going on, she’s sure to appreciate having delectable fruit delivered right to her door!
2. Mail order citrus from Hale Groves beats what you’ll find at your local grocer’s. We feel confident in saying this because, at the time you order your fruit gifts online, they’ll still be on the tree! We only start picking when the fruit is at its peak of perfection, so your Mom will be getting the freshest and best fruit possible.
3. Our citrus lasts longer than flowers will! That’s the beauty of fruit delivery: Florida citrus can last quite awhile when it’s stored in the fridge. Long after the flowers have wilted and been forgotten, your mom or grandma will be enjoying a tasty orange or grapefruit!
4. When you send fruit by mail, WE do the packing. And you can be sure your order is packed well! And on the off chance your Mom isn’t happy with the fruit we send her (we’re betting she will be), you can be sure we’ll make it right. When you shop at Hale Groves, you know you’re opting for the best fruit delivery service available.
5. Shipping fruits is ideal when you’re not sure what to get. Mom might be telling you the truth when she says the last thing she needs is more “stuff,” and that’s when the ephemerality of flowers becomes especially appealing. Well, online fruit baskets have the same advantage, but better, because Mom can actually enjoy eating the contents!

Fruit Gift Ideas: More Than “Just Fruit!”

Maybe a gift of fruit doesn’t seem like it’s enough for the woman who raised you. Or maybe when you think of a gift of fruit, “holidays” (as in Christmas holidays) come to mind. Rest assured, Hale Groves’ selection of fruit gift boxes and gift baskets are anything but boring! Our selection of fruit gifts has something to fit every budget as well as every taste. Some include other delicious gourmet foods, and some come packed in reusable containers that Mom can use again and again. Come and see for yourself!
