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 donโt 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 someoneโs 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!












How awesome it would be to be the lucky winner of a delish citrus basket! Thanks for the great tips of decorating with some items that we might already have on hand at home.
Wow, that reminds this Florida girl of home as I’m sitting here freezing on a cold NY winter day! I’d love to enter!
Oranges are great! The smell is divine! I love the chance for some Florida sunshine!
I’m thinking fresh OJ… and pomanders!
It’s hard to come by good tasty citrus fruit. This would be awesome. Thank you for the entry.
That would be such a nice treat. Love the smell of oranges with cloves…
Citrus – YUM!
Thanks!
I love citrus fruit. Please pick me!
Those oranges look so yummy. I might need to go check my fridge for one now.
Looks amazing!
Decorating and eating fruit is my motto. Hope I win.
What a great idea, thanks!
My mom would always put the biggest grapefruit and orange she could find in our stockings! We thought it was so cool, and now I realize its an inexpensive stocking stuffer, lol. I’d love to win!
