Looking for a Honey of a Gift? Try a Honeybell Gift Basket!

By: The Hale Groves Team | On: | Category: Fruit Facts Gift Ideas
December isn’t the year’s only popular gift-giving season…late winter and spring are also full of official opportunities for showing friends, co-workers and loved ones how much you care about them, from your significant other to your mom. And that’s without including birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, showers and special events like Teacher Appreciation Day!

Gift baskets containing premium fruit and gourmet foods (like you’ll find at Hale Groves) make wonderful gifts because you’re sure to find a unique, personal gift within your budget that’s just right for any occasion, large or small. And when that gift basket includes Honeybells, you’re sure to make a lasting impression!

Why Are Honeybell Gift Baskets Great Gifts?

You might think sending a gift basket is an impersonal option. After all, you didn’t go hunting through multiple brick-and-mortar stores to pick something out or spend time wrapping your gift. But “easy” doesn’t necessarily mean “thoughtless” …most people love receiving gift baskets of special foods they wouldn’t normally get for themselves, and since almost everyone loves and can eat fruit, a fruit basket can save your recipient time and money spent shopping for themselves. Plus, a basket or box of fruit is often more welcome than a gift that your recipient may already have, doesn’t care for, or takes up space.

A fruit gift basket or fruit gift box from Hale Groves is a great way to make a statement of caring, because our premium fruit is of a quality far above what you’ll find in a chain grocery store’s produce section. Individually inspected, hand-packed, and sent within days of being picked, a Hale Groves fruit gift (whether it contains fruit only or includes other gourmet treats) is always beautifully prepared. Plus, it’s easy to find a gift that will fit the occasion – and your budget!

Still concerned your gift won’t be special enough, or say how you really feel? When in doubt, choose a Hale gift basket that includes Honeybells!

Honeybells: Taking Fruit Baskets to the Next Level

Honeybells are a sweet and juicy hybrid between a grapefruit and a tangerine. They are a popular Florida fruit that are often given as gifts because they are healthy, have a honey-like taste, and are high in vitamin C. Honeybells are the most highly prized oranges. Highly prized by orange-lovers, Honeybells get their name from their sweet-as-honey (yet delightfully tangy) juice and their unusual bell-like shape. Typically, Honeybells are seedless and easy to peel, so they make a nice choice for including in fruit baskets.

Another reason why Honeybells make great gifts is their rarity. Known as a “limited edition” fruit, Honeybells have a short season (mid-December to mid-February, with some varieties lasting into early spring) and a small crop (due to their limited growing region, the difficulties in growing them, and the fragility of the fruit itself). This, combined with their succulent flavor that causes them to be much in demand by citrus lovers in the know, make the fruit a sometimes hard-to-find delicacy – one that doesn’t show up often in stores, and sells out fast when it does.

In addition to their pretty appearance (deep, red-orange peels and bell shape) and wonderfully fresh fragrance, their rarity makes Honeybells a welcome sight in any gift basket. After receiving a fruit basket packed with these delectable treats, regular oranges seem humdrum in comparison. Very juicy and full of intense flavor, Honeybells satisfy without loading you up with fat and calories – something your recipient or recipients may appreciate. And once they sink their teeth into a delectable Honeybell and experience that unique flavor for themselves, they’ll be hooked!

Where to Buy Premium Honeybell Orange Gift Baskets

There’s just no way around it…for the best Honeybells, your best bet is to go through a specialty fruit seller like Hale Groves – one that prides itself on providing customers with the very best fruit available, and taking the trouble to ensure they get it. Honeybells can be challenging to harvest and difficult to ship, so you want a company you can trust – like Hale Groves – to send the freshest, best Honeybells and other fruits to your loved ones so that they arrive fresh and in perfect condition.

Now that you know where to get your Honeybells, you have to choose which gift to get! Hale has a great selection of Honeybell gift boxes and baskets. Hale Groves carries Honeybell varieties, some of which are available at different times, and in different sizes from mini to jumbo. Along with different Honeybell varieties, Hale Groves offers gift boxes and baskets with Honeybells alone, Honeybells with other high-quality citrus fruits and Honeybells with a variety of sweet and savory gourmet treats. You can also choose from a variety of beautiful arrangements, all of which are sure to brighten your recipient’s day!

  • May we suggest: Has your recipient never tasted Honeybells before? If not, we suggest our Honeybell Duet! Starting at just $34.99, this ensemble includes classic Hale Honeybells (a huge favorite with our customers) and Hale Golden Honeybells, a larger variety with the same great taste. These two Honeybell types are available together for only a short window of time, so order while you can!
