Valentines day: Say I care with a basket of fruits
Tropical Fruit Basket--A Gift to Say You Care
by: Laura Weaver
Have you ever wondered what to give a friend to let her know you're thinking of her during a time of crisis? Not that anything could change the outcome of her problem, but just a little something to let her know you care. I found a simple yet healthy way to do just that.
My girlfriend was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. Her symptoms developed quickly, so this diagnosis came as quite a shock to her. Of course, facing this medical crisis was very frightening for her, even though the prognosis was encouraging with the proper treatment. Even so, she became depressed and worried.
Wanting to do something to cheer her and to just let her know I was thinking of her during this trying time in her life, I decided to send my girlfriend a Tropical Fruit Basket. I, myself, was recently the recipient of a lovely fruit basket. In the basket I received, the seasonably ripe fruit was displayed on a round serving tray which can be used over and over again. The crisp apples, juicy pears, and fragrant oranges were a delicious treat that I thoroughly enjoyed.
I found that there are many choices involved in selecting fruit baskets, from containers holding the fruit to filler items that personalize the gift to the actual kinds of fruit, itself. Containers can range from simple boxes with colorful wrappings to useful serving platters to elegant wicker baskets. Fillers can consist of little wrapped hard candies, foil-covered wedges of cheese, a box of cookies, or even a bottle of wine.
Of the many choices in selecting the kind of fruit basket to send my friend, I was excited to choose a Tropical Fruit Basket. We have vacationed together in tropical locations and both enjoy the images of palm trees, balmy ocean breezes, vibrant colors, and a relaxing carefree lifestyle that thinking "tropics" brings to mind. This seemed to be a very appropriate theme to lift my girlfriend's spirits.
The Tropical Fruit Basket I sent was presented in a beautiful white wicker basket with a large, bright yellow hand-tied bow. It was brimming with beautiful tropical fruit: a centrally-placed pineapple surrounded by oranges, tangerines, bananas, and kiwi. There was also an assortment of hard lemon and lime candies my girlfriend could savor when her stomach was feeling a little queasy from her treatments. I also included a personal note card with a photo of a beautiful sunset over the turquoise sea and palm trees lining the white sandy beach.
My girlfriend was very appreciative of receiving such a beautiful, nutritious gift. The selection of fresh tropical fruits appealed to her appetite, helping her to keep up her strength. Sending the Tropical Fruit Basket was the perfect way to remind my girlfriend how much I care. Receiving it brightened her mood and made her day!

unique ideas for valentines day
Valentine's day is fast approaching, and many people are already in search of ideas to make this day memorable, whether you are seeking for a valentines poem or ideal gift there is one idea that will always sell:
Gourmet Chocolate Gifts for Valentines Chocoholics Good for the Heart by Sarah R. Parker
Remember when you were a kid and couldn't wait for Halloween - dreams of candy swirling in your head? Valentines Day is like that for chocoholics dreaming of gourmet chocolate gifts. Chocolate lovers dreams come true when you also tell them it's good for their heart.
In a recent Japanese study, researchers found that dark chocolate rich in flavonoids can actually improve coronary blood flow. People who ate 550 milligrams of dark chocolate a day showed vast improvement of coronary blood flow after just two weeks compared to participants who ate white chocolate without flavonoids. Flavonoids are what gives chocolate it's antioxidant power. Antioxidants help protect the body from damage to our cells by free radicals - formed by environmental pollution and normal cellular activity. These antioxidants are what helps keep plaques from forming in our arteries. Good news for gourmet chocolate lovers.
Dark chocolate contains the most flavonoids because it is the less processed than milk chocolate or white chocolate. Flavonoids also give dark chocolate a stronger flavor. As a cocoa bean goes through fermentation, alkalizing and roasting (more processing), more flavonoids get lost.
Other chocolate research has shown dark chocolate and cocoa powder may raise good cholesterol (HDL) levels by up to 10%, while keeping bad cholesterol (LDL) levels at bay. Stearic acid, one of the fats in chocolate, can actually boost HDL levels according to a study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. And although, one would expect bad cholesterol levels to rise because of the increased fat intake, this was not the case. This is more good news for chocoholics.
They say that laughter is the best medicine, chocolate in moderation may be a close second.
