Fruit Quality, Substitutions & Seasonal Availability

Because our fruit baskets are made locally, your gift is designed with the freshest, best-looking fruit available that day. Exact varieties and accents may differ slightly from the photos depending on season and market availability, but our partners will always substitute with items of equal or greater value to keep your basket looking full and generous.

During peak holidays or in certain regions, some fruits may be more limited. In those cases, our local florists and gift experts will adjust the mix while keeping the same overall look, feel and value of the gift you selected.

Fruit Storage & Care Tips for Your Recipient

To help your fruit basket stay fresh as long as possible, we recommend removing the fruit from any protective wrap shortly after delivery and storing it in a cool, dry place. Softer or very ripe fruit can be refrigerated to extend freshness. If the basket includes cheese or other perishable gourmet items, those should be refrigerated according to the instructions on the packaging.

Most fruit baskets are best enjoyed within a few days of arrival. Encourage your recipient to share and enjoy the gift right away for the best flavor and texture.

We deliver fruit gift baskets for all major holidays including:

Christmas, Hanukkah, New Year's, Valentine's Day, Easter, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Thanksgiving and more.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ'S)

What types of fruit come in your gift baskets?

Our fruit baskets typically feature a mix of seasonal favorites such as apples, pears, oranges, grapefruit, grapes and other fresh fruit. Exact varieties will vary by local partner, season and availability, but every basket is designed to look full, fresh and colorful.

How fresh are the fruit gift baskets when they arrive?

Fruit baskets are assembled close to delivery time by a local florist or gift expert in the recipient’s area. Because the basket doesn’t sit in transit for days, the fruit arrives ripe, attractive and ready to enjoy. For best results, we recommend refrigerating any cut or very ripe fruit shortly after delivery.

Can I send a fruit basket to a hospital, office or workplace?

Yes. Fruit baskets are a popular choice for hospitals, offices and workplaces. Please provide as much detail as possible (room number, department, company name, etc.) at checkout, and check that the facility accepts outside deliveries and perishable gifts.

Can I add other items like cheese, chocolate or flowers?

Many of our designs include fruit and cheese, fruit and gourmet foods or fruit and flowers. Depending on the product, you may also be able to add extras like chocolate, cookies or a teddy bear. Look for available add-ons during checkout to customize your gift.

How does same-day delivery for fruit baskets work?

Same-day fruit basket delivery is available in most major cities and many smaller towns. If the recipient’s ZIP code qualifies, simply place your order by about 2:00 PM in the recipient’s time zone and choose the same-day option at checkout. A local partner will then design and deliver your basket that same day.

What if my recipient has allergies or dietary restrictions?

Fruit baskets are often a good option for lighter, more health-focused gifting, but some designs may include nuts, chocolate, crackers or other items that contain common allergens. Please review the product description carefully and note any concerns in the delivery instructions. While our partners do their best, they cannot guarantee completely allergen-free preparation.
