New neighbors have finally arrived next door. We’re very excited to meet them. They appear to be about our age and our kids are looking forward to playing with theirs. Lasting friendships develop rapidly on our street so we’re sure that our new neighbors will become our friends. Can you think of a better way to greet these new neighbors than with a festive fruit bouquet?

A simple fruit basket idea would be to have a few red apples, a couple of green pears, and a bright orange or two presented on a wooden cutting board. Add some red grapes and this lovely combination of color speaks for itself. Wrap pastel-colored cellophane around it all and tie a bow to the handle of the board to complete the package.

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

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 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 baskets are 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 put into the container, it is a colorful, delicious, and healthy option. What a wonderful “Welcome to the Neighborhood” gift fruit baskets are!
