One of our neighbours gave us this lovely box of Pears for a Christmas gift. Such a simple but beautiful thing, I was a little jealous I hadn’t thought of it first. The red blush on the fruit sets off the green packing nicely and gives it the perfect Christmassy feel.
Fruit is such a decadent thing that it’s the perfect Christmas present. When you think how long it takes to grow this many Pears (three years for a tree to come into fruition at least) and the care and attention that someone put in to produce such blemish-free fruit. They really are a treat and something to be celebrated, boxed up and given to friends and neighbours.
Once my fruit trees are producing enough I’m definitely doing this with my own fruit. I might even have a little photo on the lid that says ‘from the orchard of…’ Love it.
Yes, it’s a wonderful idea and such a brilliant gift to give! I would just love for somebody to give me a box of fruit – especially home grown fruit :-)
Wishing you and your family a Happy New Year and much fun and good times in your new home,
What a lovely gift! Now I can’t wait (even more) until my pear trees start producing too!
