Help the New Neighbors Feel at Home with a Basket of Seasonal 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?

are the ideal memorable gift to give for his occasion. They exude friendliness. There are many variations of containers from which to choose and the selection of different beautiful fruits can be as creative as your imagination allows.

A more sizeable fruit giftbasket could consist of a sturdy box, which can be used for other items later, filled with wrapped choices of ripe fruit. Just think of juicy oranges, sweet nectarines, fragrant strawberries, and tangy grapefruit. The delicious selection of these fruits stimulate any discerning appetite.

A larger fruit giftbasket could be made of a sturdy cardboard box, which can be used for other items later, filled with wrapped choices of ripe seasonal fruit. Just imagine juicy oranges, sweet plums, fragrant raspberries, and tangy grapefruit. The flavorful selection of these fruits whet any discerning appetite.

Using a 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 choice, which is appetizing, healthy, and eye-pleasing. Top it with a lime-green ribbon tied in a large bow.

can also be personalized, depending on your preference. We happened to see a beautiful, oak wine rack being moved into their new house, 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 be added, too. Hard tack or chocolate candies, or shortbread cookies, or even nut selections of almonds and walnuts would add an extra special touch to the gift.

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