Birthday Gifts for all Ages

Did you know that the song “Happy Birthday to You” was written by 2 teachers out of Louisville, KY in 1893? The birthday cake is believed to be traced back to ancient Greece, where honey cakes or breads symbolized what we consider today as the birthday cake. The birthday candle was used by German families to symbolize the “light of life.” No matter the history or tradition, celebrating birthdays has always been a part of our society and today those traditions are stronger than ever.

Regardless of your age, turning another year older marks change in your life. Putting the past behind you and moving forward to bigger and better things.

Fresh Fruit Gift Ideas

It’s hard to imagine, but it is believed that the apple was grown and eaten by cave dwellers during the Neolithic time. Today, there are more than 7,000 different types of apples grown world wide with the most popular apple being the Red Delicious apple. A faithful companion to the apple is the pear, which is believed to have been consumed by the Stone Age people as food. In today’s society there are over 3,000 varieties of pears grown across the world!

You might be asking, why the history lesson? The reason is fresh fruits such as apples, pears, peaches, and oranges, among many others, have been around for extremely long times and today are still as delicious and full of flavor as they used to be. Sending fruit gift baskets exemplifies your thoughtfulness for the recipient’s special occasion and also demonstrates your exceptional taste. So for your next special gift giving occasion, treat someone to the luscious gift of fruit. You will not only be sending exceptional quality, but also a little history.
