Four Fantastic Fruit Baskets

 

Sending a basket of fruit is a great alternative to sending flowers, if the situation calls for it. Perhaps flowers seem a little too dramatic, or you want to send something with some practical use rather than just sitting there looking and smelling pretty (not that there's anything wrong with that!)
So consider sending some fruit with Bloomex for your next occasion and turn someone's sour day sweet. Here are a few ideas to get you started.

European Sampler Basket

Witness this fruit sampler basket, which comes with four pears (two Green D'Anjou and two D'Anjou),  four apples (two Fuji apples and two seasonal selections) and two Royal Naval Oranges. Perfect for a picnic or to send to a couple for their hospitality. Bon appetit!

7 Great Gifts to Say Thanks

Endless Love Bouquet from bloomex.ca

In today’s fast-paced world, the simple act of expressing a sincere ‘thanks’ has largely been lost. But it doesn’t have to be. Although it seems like nobody has any extra time, Bloomex takes the hassle out of ordering flowers and you know that once you click, you’re in good hands.

A little gesture can go a long way, and a token of appreciation combined with a handwritten note is an easy way to make a lasting impression. So check out these seven gifts from Bloomex that make for a perfect way to say thanks.

For the friendly acquaintance….
Maybe it’s the babysitter that had to stay late, or the person that returned your lost wallet out of the good of their heart.
We recommend: Gourgeous Geberas ($24.95). This colorful bouquet brings a ray of color into any room, and its beautiful, vibrant blooms ensure that it lives up to its name.

For the boss…
Boss gave you a promotion you weren’t expecting, or gave the thumbs-up to extra vacation time? It might not be most people’s first thought, but a planter basket for their desk is a great way to score some points.

Lily Sunshine Bouquet from bloomex.ca

We recommend: Colourful Garden ($34.95). This looks great on office desks and at 10” x 6”, doesn’t take up too much room. 

For your parents…
Perhaps they’ve done something nice for you lately, or perhaps it’s just a general ‘Thanks, mom and dad.’ It’s never a bad time, is it?
We recommend: Lily Sunshine ($34.95). This bright yellow bouquet of Asiatic Lilies makes for a perfect reminder of their favourite (just kidding!) child.

For the teacher…
Whether it’s for your kids teachers around the holidays or end of school, or you’re a grad student, a bouquet for a beloved teacher is a lovely act of gratitude.
We recommend: Fruits and Chocolates ($39.95). This basket comes loaded with 4 assorted chocolate treats, a branch of grapes, 2 oranges, 3 apples, 3 pear and a nectarine. Kind of puts the old, standard, solitary apple to shame, doesn’t it?

For the colleague…
It’s always nice when a colleague at work steps up to help you out with that big project, or covers your phone when you have to step away from your desk.
We recommend: Fruit and Cheese Basket ($49.95). Practical and handy, this basket contains assorted premium cheeses, 3 apples, 4 pears, 1 branch of grapes, 3 oranges and a nectarine. Your colleague can cut back on buying snacks for work for weeks!

Summer Flower Basket from  bloomex.ca

For the 'BFF'…
An everlasting friendship should never be taken for granted; it should be celebrated. Let your best friend know that you’ll always be there for them.
We recommend: Summer Flower Basket ($109.95). This beautiful colorful basket of flowers will bring warmth into any room regardless of the weather outside. The wicker basket contains Asters, Chrysanthemums, Cosmos and Dahlias – ideal for saying “thank you for being a friend.”

For your significant other…
Our significant others become the most important people in our lives, so be sure to express your gratitude toward them, whether they’ve done something specifically nice for you lately or not. They deserve it!
We recommend: Endless Love ($84.95). This bouquet is absolutely breathtaking. Twelve long stem red roses – always an excellent choice – are accented by five White Calla Lilies and complimented by fresh greens.
