For most dads, the ultimate Father’s Day gift is not a bouquet of fruit. In fact, few dads would ever say: “And, all the men in my department gathered around my cubicle to admire the fruit basket that I received for Father’s Day.” Only, a wee percentage of men would find the carved pieces of fruit fashioned to resemble a floral arrangement an ‘adorable’ Father’s Day Gift. While it would be a gross exaggeration to say that men do not appreciate a bouquet of fruit on Father’s Day, there’s a precise method to giving the masculine dad a fruit basket without emasculating him.

Customize it.

Match Dad’s pastimes with the theme of the fruit basket. Is Dad a baseball junkie, football fanatic or Harley rider? Fruit bouquets companies such as Edible Arrangements and the Fresh Fruit Basket Company (FFBC) create fruit baskets specially appointed for interests.

For instance, Edible Arrangement’s Harley Davidson carved fruit bouquet is a popular gift choice for Father’s Day. Sports themed fruit baskets are in ample supply at the Fresh Fruit Bouquet Company.

For the dad, who has a passion for fruit, particularly the non-carved kind, organic fruit bouquets are ideal. If Dad is a pear lover, Harry and David’s fruit baskets of organic pears could be an impressive offering. Cherry Moon Farms features a monthly membership gift basket idea, which includes a seasonal fruit bouquet delivery.

However, don’t use Father’s Day as the time to force Dad to make healthier food choices via a bouquet of fruit. Instead, order a gift basket that Dad will not only be proud to show his friends but enjoy.

Time it.

Schedule the delivery on the Saturday before Father’s Day. In order to coordinate the fruit bouquet delivery, place orders at least two week’s in advance.Send the fruit basket  to Dad at home. Since, he may forget to refrigerate or carry the gift home from the office, make sure the bouquet of fruit delivery goes to his home address if possible.
