There are times when we pass the vitamin store in the mall, we recognize a friend browsing the shelves with their basket already half full of supplements.  They are the health freak; that friend of ours who is always trying out the latest diet or newest exercise fad.  Or, perhaps they’re new to the whole health scene.  Or maybe they represent those among us who are trying to lose those extra pounds…for the third year in a row.  No matter what, we all know someone who is “carb conscious.”  So, when their birthday comes around, it can be challenging to get them a gift that meets their healthy living. In fact, this give you a good starting point in deciding upon a gift.  Get your friend something that they’ll actually use and appreciate, or support your newly dieting friend by helping them along their way to a Healthier and leaner lifestyle.

One unique gift idea might be to get them an introductory membership to a health or athletic club.  Here you can find up to date work-out equipment that your friend can choose from.  Some of the equipment can be intimidating or tricky looking, and the staff is always willing to demonstrate how to work them.  Many health clubs will also offer trainers to guide customers in a work out regime that best suits them.  Getting a friend a membership is a great way to motivate someone to get out of the house and get started on shedding the pounds.  Even if your friend already has a membership to such a club, you can still give them a free month, or even a gift certificate to be used at the club for additional services or products.

If a gift of a club membership is a bit more than you planned to spend, there are other gifts in the same spirit.  A stop at your local sports shop is always a great place to find loads of gift ideas for your health conscious friend.  Health stores offer loads of ideas that can suit almost anyone’s interests.  You might get them a health guide on the latest exercise trend.  

Just because they want to lose weight doesn’t mean they can’t eat.  There are a lot of books that can be found in sports shops or even health clubs with recipe guides and nutritional Information.    The sports shop has new ideas at every turn including pedometers and heart rate monitors making your gift hunt much easier.

If you want your gift to express more of a personal touch, try sending a gourmet fruit basket. Fruit can become an extremely healthy habit.  We’ve been learning it since grade school when we first saw the food pyramid.  Fruit is healthy.  Fruit is one of the healthiest foods around; it provides essential vitamins and energy not to mention is cholesterol-free.    Fruit baskets can come in several different assortments that will provide your friend with his favorite treats.  However, if your friend has just begun a low carb diet, he or she will not be permitted fruit until later in the diet’s progression.

So whether they’re just starting into Fitness or have been working out for years, be certain your gift is supportive of their decision to get healthy or stay healthy.

New neighbors have finally arrived next door. We’re very excited to meet them. They look to be about our age and our kids are looking forward to playing with theirs. Close friendships develop quickly on our street so we’re certain our new neighbors will become our friends. What better way to greet these new neighbors than with a festive fruit bouquet?

A fresh fruit basket idea would be to have a few red apples, a couple of green pears, and a bright orange or two presented on a wooden cutting board. Add some red grapes and this lovely combination of color speaks for itself. Wrap pastel-colored cellophane around it all and tie a bow to the handle of the board to complete the package.

One of the simplest gift baskets would be to have a few red apples, a couple of green pears, and a bright yellow banana or two presented on a wooden cutting board. Add some red grapes and this lovely combination of color speaks for itself. Wrap colorful cellophane around it and tie a matching bow to the handle of the cutting board to complete the package.

A larger fruit giftbasket could be made of a sturdy cardboard box, which can be used for other items later, filled with wrapped choices of ripe seasonal fruit. Just imagine juicy oranges, sweet plums, fragrant raspberries, and tangy grapefruit. The flavorful selection of these fruits whet any discerning appetite.

Using a wicker basket is another way of presenting the fruit. Select a white or natural-colored basket. Healthy fruits of fragrant pineapple and distinctive coconut are surrounded by exotic kiwi. Add citrus selections of oranges, lemons and limes with aromatic bananas carefully positioned among them. This makes a fun, tropical fruit basket choice, which is appetizing, Healthy, and eye-pleasing. Top it with a lime-green ribbon tied in a large bow.

Gift baskets can also be personalized, depending on your preference. We happened to see a beautiful, oak wine rack being moved into their new house, so a bottle of wine could easily be added to the selections of fruit. In order to tie in the fruit theme, a citrus peeler or a paring knife could be added, too. Hard tack or chocolate candies, or shortbread cookies, or even nut selections of almonds and walnuts would add an extra special touch to the fruit basket gift.

Fruit gift baskets can be given in a variety of containers filled with every kind of delicious fruit imaginable. No matter which container you select to hold the fruit and no matter which fruits you choose to fill the container, it is a colorful, flavorful, and healthy option. What a wonderful “Welcome to the Neighborhood” gift fruit baskets are!
