Fruit bouquets consist of various types of fruit, cut and assembled to resemble floral bouquets. Your recipient will not only enjoy the beautiful display of the bouquet but also get to eat each and every flower within it!

Things You'll Need

• Computer
• Credit card
• Recipient's address

Instructions

1. Search for online services that provide and deliver fruit bouquets. You'll find a variety of options including candy or florists who sell fruit bouquets as well as shops that sell them exclusively.

2. Determine the amount you would like to spend on the fruit bouquet. As they come in a variety of different options ranging from small strawberry bouquets to impressively large, mixed fruit bouquets, it helps to narrow your search. Most sites allow you to sort the available bouquets according to prices so you can then view the bouquets that fit within the range you would like to spend.

3. Consider the recipient when choosing which fruit bouquet to send. For chocolate lovers, choose chocolate-dipped bouquets which feature strawberries, pineapple and apples dipped in rich chocolate. You can even find fruit bouquets with fruit that has been dipped in chocolate and coated with chopped nuts. Most fruit bouquet services feature containers that are appropriate for a variety of occasions, such as a porcelain ducky to celebrate the arrival of a new baby. You can even find themed bouquets such as a red, white and blue bouquet to celebrate Independence Day.

4. Compare prices between a few different sites. You want to ensure that you get the best deal on your fruit bouquet. Consider the size of the bouquet in relation to the price. You'll also want to take any specialty items such as chocolate-dipped fruit into consideration when calculating if the price is reasonable.

5. Select the bouquet you wish to purchase and enter your recipient's address. Make sure to confirm that the service can make the delivery on the day you wish prior to purchasing. Know that delivery costs are added to the purchase price so consider this when choosing which site to use. Remember to enter a message for the card.

6. Pay for the fruit bouquet. Most sites require that you pay with a credit card.

Tips & Warnings

• Make sure your recipient is not out of town prior to sending the fruit bouquet. It's wise to consume the fruit bouquet within two days of receiving it, while the fruit is fresh.

• Be aware that taxes and delivery charges are generally tacked on to the listed purchase price of the bouquet.
