The new neighbors have settled in next door. We're very excited to get to know them. They seem to be about our age and our children look forward to playing with theirs. Lasting relationships develop rapidly on our street so we're certain our new neighbors will become our friends. What better way to greet these new neighbors than with a gourmet fruit bouquet?
Fruit gift baskets are the memorable gift to give for his. They communicate friendliness and well-being. There are many types of containers from which to choose and the choice of different beautiful fruits is limited only by your imagination.
One of the simplest gift baskets would be a few red apples, a couple of green pears, and a bright orange or two presented on a wooden cutting board. Add some red grapes and this lovely combination of color speaks for itself. Wrap pastel-colored cellophane around it all and tie a bow to the handle of the cutting board to finish.
A larger fruit giftbasket could consist of a sturdy box, which can be used for storing other items later, filled with individually wrapped selections of ripe seasonal fruit. Just picture juicy oranges, sweet nectarines, fragrant strawberries, and tangy grapefruit. The delicious selection of these fruits stimulate any discerning appetite.
Using an actual wicker basket is another way of presenting the fruit for your gift. Choose a white or natural-colored basket. Healthy fruits of fragrant pineapple and distinctive coconut are surrounded by exotic kiwi. Add citrus selections of oranges, lemons and limes with aromatic bananas strategically placed among them. This makes a fun, tropical fruit basket choice that is appetizing, healthy, and eye-pleasing. Top it with a lime-green ribbon tied in a large bow.
Fruit baskets can be personalized, depending upon your preferences. We happened to see a beautiful, oak wine rack being moved into their home, so a bottle of wine could easily be added to the selections of fruit. In order to incorporate the fruit theme, a citrus peeler or a paring knife could be added, too. Candies of hard-tack or chocolate, or shortbread cookies, or even nut selections of almonds and pecans would add an extra touch to the fruit basket gift.
Fruit gift baskets are given in a variety of containers filled with every kind of delicious fruit you can imagine. No matter which container you select for the fruit and no matter which fruits you choose to fill the container, it is a lovely, delicious, and healthy option. What a wonderful "Welcome to the Neighborhood" gift fruit baskets are!
