Last week had me scrambling like an un-fed wild dog. If you are like me, then buying the perfect gift for a loved one can become a long and arduous process. This shouldn't be the case. Buying a loved one a gift should be a fun and soul searching experience, not bound by pre-rendered consumer formulas (ie: roses for an anniversary, watches & cologne for graduation, gift certificates for birthdays). This was the conundrum I was placed in one June evening when I came home from work, and without even saying hi was planted with responsibility by my mom.\r

""Grandma will be here in two days. Everybody else will be here on Sunday. Get something for all of them that will make them feel welcome in our house.""\r
\r
Brainstorming on google, I came across the site Fruits to Remember. Their site offered something I had never seen before; wide arrangements of fruit designed and placed in a beautifully crafted way. Having a penchant for strawberries, I set my sights on their ""Celebration to Remember"" piece after glancing at some of the arrangements. It was now Friday night, and I needed the bouquet by Sunday afternoon.\r
\r
True to their word, I had the bouquet in my hand at 11:30am. The driver even called me half an hour in advance to let me know it was on the way. Holding it in my hands, I had already decided it was the smartest gift purchase I had ever made, and I hadn't even taken the rapping off yet.\r
\r
About an hour or so later, my uncle, aunt, cousin, and my cousin's husband joined my dad, mom, grandparents, and I. Everybody was so captivated by the design and distinctive quality of it all, and gave me much praise on the selection. Their site wasn't exaggerating when they boasted to be the luxury hand sculpted fresh fruit bouquet provider. After gobbling down some of the strawberries, I was certain they purchased only the finest ingredients possible.\r
\r
Fruits to Remember provided me with a gift I would never have found in stores. Mission accomplished.
