There are many thoughtful ways to express your gratitude, show how much you care, or congratulate someone on a job well done. While giving flowers and candy is a popular and sweet gesture, take it a step further by surprising your recipient with a delightful fruit basket instead. Here are three occasions to give this day-brightening gift.

When to Give a Fruit Basket

1. Housewarming

Moving into a new home can be an overwhelming experience. Once they’ve settled into their abode, welcome them to the neighborhood with a basket of fresh fruits. Make sure to order one that contains bright, fresh varieties, such as pineapples and papayas. They’ll be grateful for the snack amid the unpacking chaos, and you’ll bring a smile to your new neighbors.

2. Congratulations

Whether they’re retiring after decades with the company or recently had a baby, achieving any milestone is a monumental occasion that’s worth celebrating. Instead of giving balloons or trinkets that will clutter their home or get thrown away, gift a fruit basket that they can eat and enjoy.

3. Holidays

Foods are exchanged readily throughout the holiday season. Since there will likely be plenty of cookies and other baked goods to go around, stand out by giving your loved one or host fresh fruit. This is especially thoughtful for people who need to watch their sugar levels or want to forgo desserts in favor of healthier options.

Giving a fruit basket is a kind gesture that your recipient won’t forget. To order a beautiful presentation, turn to Dole/Tropical Fruits Distributors of Hawaii in Honolulu.
