• Freshness is a top priority with food items, so make sure you pick fruits that will last. This way your gift basket will add color and a fresh fruity fragrance for more than a day.
• Stay with common fruits that are predictable. This is especially true if you are gifting the fruit basket to a family with young children. If you know of allergy issues that the recipient may have, keep that in mind as you make your selection.
• Pick the season’s colors and fruits. If you are gifting a fruit gift basket for Christmas, make sure to have a lot of red and green. Valentine’s Day gift baskets would feature pretty pinks and Halloween gift baskets would be laden with pumpkins.
• Before you settle on a particular gift basket, search the web and comparison shopping sites to see what’s available, at what price and if any merchants offer free shipping.
• Don’t forget to read merchant reviews especially if you are ordering online. You don’t want to send a gift that you are unable to see and turns out to be poor quality.
• If possible, try to pick a local merchant to ship it for you. This will ensure freshness. If the site lists a phone number, call them and ask them when the baskets are put together, when the order will be shipped and customization options.
