There are a million occasions to treat a loved-one to a fruit gift basket, but there are a few times when one of these is not only a great gift, but a truly thoughtful one.

One of the best times to give a basket of fruit as a gift is when someone is feeling under the weather. A person can not only brighten another person's inner spirit that can actually help them get over what ails them with all the vitamins and minerals packed behind the rind of a precious citrus fruit. Couple that fruit with a nice flavored honey that they can add to their tea for some soothing comfort.

Another great time to give a fruit gift basket it is when someone moves into a new house or apartment. A basket full of treats can help them stay nourished at a very busy time of packing and unpacking. Giving the gift of fruit will allow them something healthy and tasty to eat instead of junk food from the local corner store. Plus the vitamins will help keep the strong as the muddle through their new abode.

One other great time to give the gift of a fruit basket is to a loving teacher. No more giving just a plain old apple. After all the teacher has done for the kids don't they deserve a basket full of great fruit and fruity treats as a thank you for a great year?

No matter the occasion fresh fruit baskets are a thoughtful and practical gift for anyone who loves the taste of citrus goodness.
