Fruit baskets to wish for your better health

June 10th, 2016

Ideally when any of our close relatives or acquaintances fall ill or are suffering from bad health, then we generally go and visit them. It not only relieves us to see the person but it also makes the one who is ill feel a little better. When we visit someone who is recuperating from a bad bout of illness or an operation, it is nice we carry some kind of “get well soon” gifts for them. We can give them a card and along with it something that can help them in their healing process. So what can be the ideal gift for such a situation?

A fruit basket! Fruits are healthy and full of vitamins which are absolutely essential for someone who is ill. Vitamins and minerals need to taken in proper amounts to make sure that one recovers properly and gains their health and stamina back. Fruits are what most doctors and dieticians recommend. Thus it is best to carry a fruit basket and along with it a small get well soon card, made special with a hand written personalised message.

Fruit basket to help you get better

When it comes to giving a get well soon fruit basket, we have to make sure of a few things. You will have to do some background in order to get the right basket of fruits. Here are a few pointers that will help in making sure that you get the right fruit basket for your friend or relative:

1. First and foremost you will have to do a proper study of the disease your friend is suffering from. If suppose your acquaintance is suffering from a disease and has diabetes along with it, then you cannot give him or her fruit basket full of apples, which have a high sugar content. The fruit basket for a diabetic friend should ideally include berries, peaches and cherries whose vitamin and mineral contents are greater and the sugar content less. If you friend is suffering from the flu or cold related issues then go for a citrus fruit basket, since these fruits have a high content of Vitamin C which is extremely beneficial for such problems. If it is a problem of the heart then go for watermelons, bananas and berries. Thus it is clear that you will have to get an idea about your friend or relative’s medical health before giving them a fruit basket.

2. You have to make sure that the fruits are fresh. While purchasing the basket make sure that you check the fruits properly before giving it to a person who is already dealing with serious health issues.

3. It is not always possible for us to be present in person to meet our ailing acquaintance. In such cases opt for the next day delivery fruit baskets, since that will ensure a fresh basket of fruits and have to delivered to the person you want to. This will tell them that you care, even if you are not physically present there.

Thus, when it comes to get well soon gifts, if you keep the above pointers in mind, there is no more useful a gift than a basket full of fresh fruits.

How to Arrange For Wedding Flowers Cheaply

February 25th, 2015

Flowers look lovely on your wedding day, but they can also cut a deep hole in your pocket. Weddings use a lot of flowers such as bouquets of bride and bridesmaids, corsages, boutonnieres, peddles of flower girls, pew decorations, altar arrangements and décor for reception.

Costs of flowers for a wedding can go up to $10,000 or more. But there a few tricks to cut down on your expenses without sacrificing your lovely flowers for a gorgeous wedding.

Here are a few tips:

  • Re-use flowers: The first way to cut down on cost is to re-use flowers from the church, at the reception. Give someone the responsibility to do this transfer before guests start arriving at the reception. The second way is to use bridal and bridesmaids bouquets as table arrangements and centre piece arrangement at the reception.
  • Go for seasonal/ cheaper flowers: Using flowers in season can save you a pot of money. Consult your florist on what are the options of flowers in season. It will be much better than using exotic flowers not in season, which have to be shipped from faraway and will add the shipping cost.

Similarly, among the seasonal flowers, go in for the relatively cheaper ones. Remember cheap does not mean unattractive in the case of flowers. Carnations are some of the cheapest flowers available but they look lovely.

Wild flowers are a lovely and cheap alternative. You can handpick these flowers from many public gardens and parks. But you must get permission for picking them beforehand.

Flowers that are difficult to cultivate are more expensive like orchids and Calla lilies. White flowers are also costly as they damage easily.

For cheap blooms, avoid seasons and occasions like Valentine’ s day, Mother’s day, Father’s day, Easter and prom season. Here the demand for flowers is high and options may be limited.

  • Go for hidden perks:  There are many tricks to get gorgeous flowers for your wedding without paying a cent. Firstly, if your wedding is to be held on other festival days like Christmas or Easter, the pews and altar will already be decorated and you will not need extra floral arrangements.

This is also true for weddings to be held in parks and gardens where the flowers and greenery will be already present and you need not spend money on decorations. The natural blooms in such parks will provide a spectacular backdrop.

Another trick is to include greenery in your arrangements. For an elegant, simple look, use a lot of greenery in place of flowers. For getting a look just as stunning as flowers, go for different types of leaves.

 You can also cut down on cost by sharing flowers. This can happen if you have your wedding slated on the same day as another wedding. You can save flower arrangements in the church in the morning for an evening ceremony and split the cost.

  • Go for artificial flowers: Artificial flowers, especially silk flowers look beautiful and cut down cost by a great deal. Not only are they lovely to look at but are durable and can be arranged as per your liking, weeks before the wedding.  You can reuse silk flowers already used at another wedding by borrowing or buying them. You can also sell them online after use.
  • Order online: If you find local florists expensive, you can order flowers online. They will send flowers by post.

These are some great ideas to cut down expenses on your wedding flowers.
