Florida-based event planner, Heather Snively, on behalf of Florida Department of Citrus has come up with some clever ways to create a festive and frugal holiday.

Here are a few of her cost-effective holiday tips

Decorate with nature: use materials from nature to dress up your table. Simply placing oranges in a basket can look festive

Oranges and greenery placed on a foam cone can made an elegant centerpiece

Borrow what you donโ€™t have: Rent extravagant decorations at a local prop shop or swap items with friends and family to revitalize your holiday decorations.

Look to nature for holiday gifts: A package of fresh Florida citrus fruit is a meaningful and personal gift from the Sunshine state, sure to warm up that special someoneโ€™s winter. It can be conveniently ordered at www.pickFLA.com and delivered to a loved onesโ€™ doorstep.

The Florida Department of Citrus is going to warm up one lucky reader’s holiday with a gift basket of fruit.ย  Please leave a comment on this post by Friday at midnight for a chance to win!
