Help New Neighbors Feel at Ease with a Basket of Fresh Fruit

Our new neighbors have finally arrived next door. We’re anxious to meet them. They appear to be about our age and our children look forward to playing with theirs. Close relationships develop quickly on our street so we’re sure that our neighbors will become our friends. Can you think of a better way to greet these new neighbors than with a gourmet fruit bouquet?

Gourmet fruit baskets are the perfect memorable gift to give for his occasion. They exude friendliness. There are many variations of containers and the selection of different delicious fruits can be as creative as your imagination permits.

One of the simplest gift baskets would be a few red apples, a couple of green pears, and a bright yellow banana or two presented on a wooden cutting board. Add a bunch of red grapes and this lovely combination of color speaks for itself. Wrap pastel-colored cellophane around it and tie a bow to the handle of the board to finish.

A bigger fruit giftbasket could consist of a sturdy box, which can be used for storing other items later, filled with individually wrapped choices of ripe fruit. Just visualize juicy oranges, sweet plums, fragrant raspberries, and tangy grapefruit. The flavorful selection of these fruits stimulate any appetite.

Using an actual wicker basket is another way of presenting the fruit. Select 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 carefully positioned among them. This makes a fun, tropical fruit basket choice, which is appetizing, healthy, and very attractive. Top this off with a lime-green ribbon tied in a large bow.

Fruit baskets can be personalized, depending on your preference. We noticed a beautiful, walnut wine rack being moved into their home, so a bottle of wine could easily be added to the selections of fruit. In order to tie in the fruit theme, a citrus peeler or a paring knife could also be included. Hard tack or chocolate candies, shortbread cookies, or even nut selections of almonds and pecans would add an extra touch to the fruit basket gift.

Fruit gift baskets can be given in a variety of containers filled with every kind of delicious fruit imaginable. No matter which container you select to hold the fruit and no matter which fruits you choose to fill the container, it is a colorful, flavorful, and healthy option. What a wonderful “Welcome to the Neighborhood” gift fruit baskets are!
