how do i make a unique gift basket of fruit?

Answer 1

It's fun to do. Last Christmas I went to the dollar store and got a beautiful basket. Then I got a really nice napkin (doilie) to line it with. Put whatever fruit is in season. I added a small container of pretzels I had hand-decorated myself. Then I added a bottle of wine, a small container of fancy jelly and some artificial Christmas greens. It was beautiful.

Answer 2

It should custom made just for the recipient -- the right amount of his or her favorite fruit that won't be a burden ripening too fast. The container -- a basket, tray, platter, or small bucket should be attractive and hopefully have another purpose after the fruit is consumed. Select fruit of various sizes, textures, colors that fit the container and select some items that will ripen more slowly. Wrap it all up in cellophane and tie with a unique ribbon -- French wired or raffia or very cool shoe laces might do.

Answer 3

It is all about creativity. Maybe you could get a fruit that is every color of the rainbow put them in order and have a matching basket or it could be based on something like soccer and you can add a small soccer nkick-nack have something like easter grass in there those are a couple of ideas.

Get a huge watermelon, make 2 cuts from the top about 1 and a half inches apart and cut down to the middle and then out to the side so you left with half a watermelon with a 1 and a half inch wide handle, scoop out all the flesh, wash and dry then fill it with lovely fruits such as cape gooseberries, kiwi fruit, lychees, figs, baby clementines, fresh dates, black cherries and a few nuts.
