Fruit baskets are becoming quite popular and people love to give them during festivals. The gift looks colourful, it is healthy and the best part everyone loves fruit. It’s not necessary that everyone loves chocolate or sweets or snacks, but people do love fruit, which makes a fruit basket perfect as a festive gift.

Here are few points on how you can make a perfect fruit basket:

• Always buy fresh fruits. You can contact the dealer itself who can provide fresh farm picked fruits to you. If that’s not possible, then you can go to the grocery store as well who keeps a fresh stock of fruits and vegetables. Before buying, examine that the fruit is neither bruised nor has any type of blemishes because no one like bruised or blemished fruits.

• Always add different types of fruits in the basket. It is possible that the recipient may not like the fruit you give. If there is a choice of fruits, then he/she can eat the fruits they love.
• You can also add fruit juices as well because kids love sweet drinks. Instead of giving sweet sodas, it is better to give fruits juices, which are healthy and kids enjoy drinking them.
• Flavoured milk is also a good option which can be added to the basket. Everyone enjoys drinking flavoured milk because of its natural flavour which it gets from fruits.

• Packaging is one of the most vital parts of any gift. Same goes with the fruit baskets as well, if the packaging looks dull, then it doesn’t matter how much effort you put into making that basket, the recipient will not be satisfied fully. So it’s necessary to choose the right material to pack a basket.

• The first thing you need is a basket, you can either but a basket made from plastic or made from jute or any other material, the choice is yours. The second thing you need is the packaging grass which will be as a cushion for the fruits and other products, which will be packed into that basket. You are going to need other things to finalize the packaging like tape, ribbons, bows, heat sealing machine, etc.

• Now, you have all the stuff to make fruit basket. Start with setting the packaging grass on the bottom of the basket to provide stability to the fruits and other products. Wrap the big fruits like oranges, apple, pears etc. with a gift tissue paper and place them in the bottom. Now you can place small fruits and juices on the top of apples and oranges, which will provide more stability to the products.

• Once you are done with filling the basket, the only thing left is packaging. You can use heat sealable wrapping paper to cover the entire basket. To provide extra protection, you can use gift wrapping paper over the heat seal paper. To finalize the packaging, you can name cards to write or decorate it with ribbon and bow to make it more attractive.

This way you can make your own fruit basket at home easily. You can also use fruit basket delivery service to deliver them to your loved ones who live in a different state or city.
