Fruit and candy gifts are suitable for a range of occasions, from birthdays to Valentine's Day, or as thank you gifts. Satisfy a sweet tooth by presenting your recipient with a tasty treat. No matter what your budget, there are lots of options to choose from. If you are a skilled baker, you may prefer to bake a batch of brownies, cookies or cupcakes for a homemade touch. Alternatively, purchase a candy gift that you can immediately give to your recipient.

  1. Fruit Bouquet

    • A fruit bouquet arrangement is simple and inexpensive to make, but will really impress your recipient. Consider making a fruit bouquet for a recipient who may also be having an accompanying celebration, such as a birthday party or baby shower, as it can be used as interesting centerpiece. Place a piece of floral foam into the bottom of brightly colored plant pot. Place cut pieces of fruit such as kiwi, whole grapes or melon onto wooden skewers. Insert the skewers into the foam and repeat until you have a finished fruit bouquet.

    Gourmet Truffles

    • Premium truffles are a luxurious gift that anyone with a sweet tooth will be unable to resist. Visit a gourmet chocolatier for a custom-made collection of truffles in a range of flavors such as champagne or passion fruit fondant. Alternatively, make your own truffles from scratch and present them in a handmade box with thick-cut ribbon. Homemade gifts show that you have taken the time and care to create something to truly match the recipient's tastes.

    Box of Cupcakes

    • Cupcakes are a popular choice of sweet treat among adults and children alike. There are lots of bakeries and cupcake stores that specialize in creating personalized cupcakes to match your theme and specifications. Have your cupcakes decorated to match the occasion your recipient is celebrating. For an extra element of surprise, have your cupcakes delivered directly to the recipient's house. There is no need for flowers when you can have cupcakes.

    Gumball Machine

    • For a gift that will last a little longer than freshly baked goods or a box of chocolates, a gumball machine is just the trick. Purchase a small gumball machine and fill it with candy of your choice. It can sit on an office desk or kitchen counter top for whenever the recipient fancies a treat. Include some extra bags of candy so that it can be refilled when the candy begins to run low.
