Panier de fruits et gourmandises

This one came out of our own break room, honestly, where ripe grapefruit and apples kept disappearing next to a plate of sausage and cheese between deliveries. We figured if our staff couldn't leave it alone, customers would feel the same way. It's stayed one of our better sellers for anyone who wants more than a plain fruit bowl.

This one's built for snacking together, one of our more popular gourmet gift baskets. Here's what fills the crate, and how sizing works.

What's Included in This Gift Basket: Apples, oranges, grapefruit, and pears arrive packed alongside sausage, cheese, crackers, and cookies, the baked goods rounding out a savory-meets-sweet mix built for sharing, not just one person picking through it alone.

Gourmet Fruit and Flavor Pairings: The cheese and crackers are there so the basket doesn't run purely sweet. Apples and pears bring orchard fresh fruit crunch, oranges and grapefruit add the juice, and the sausage rounds it out for anyone who wants more than fruit at snack time.

More Than a Basic Gift Box, Available in Two Sizes: Our fruit baskets come in two sizes here, Large and Small. Large measures about 11 inches high and 10 inches wide; Small runs about 9.5 inches high and the same 10 inches wide. Small actually carries the highest price of the two here, since it leans more on the gourmet items than sheer fruit volume.

Occasions for These Fruit Baskets: This fruit gift covers more ground than one holiday. Birthdays, a new home, a thank-you, or a sympathy gesture all fit, and it works equally well sent to an office as to a house.

Delivery: Same-day delivery reaches most areas nationwide when you order by 2 PM in the recipient's time zone, or noon on Sundays, and our nationwide network delivers further out for family who live too far for a same-day run. Every basket leaves the shop in its own sturdy crate.

• Refrigerate the apples and grapefruit after a day or two on the counter.
• The cheese, crackers, and cookies are fine at room temperature, just keep the whole crate out of direct heat.

• In season fruits shift throughout the year, so our designers substitute items of equal or greater value, always fresh fruit rather than whatever's cheapest at the local grocery store that week.
• The mix of sweet and savory stays consistent either way.

Is This Fruit Gift Basket Available Today?

In most areas nationwide, yes, as long as the order comes in by 2 PM in the recipient's time zone, or noon on Sundays. Farther out, our nationwide network delivers it instead so it still arrives fresh.

What happens if a fruit or item is out of season?

Our designers swap in something of equal value; grapefruit and apples are the ones most likely to shift by season. The overall mix of sweet and savory stays the same.
