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 don’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 someone’s winter. It can be conveniently ordered at www.pickFLA.com and delivered to a loved ones’ doorstep.
The Florida Department of Citrus is going to warm up one lucky reader’s holiday with a gift basket of fruit. Please leave a comment on this post by Friday at midnight for a chance to win!
We LOVE citrus at this time of year. What a delicious giveaway! Thanks so much!
This would be a great prize! When I was little, my parent’s got a cirus box each Christmas from a family friend…boy…I sure do miss having that DELICIOUS fresh fruit in the middle of winter!

Cute idea. Very fresh and bright.
What a great and simple holiday gift.
My mom always used to put an orange in the toe of our stockings, so I associate citrus with Christmas. I’d love to win!
I love citrus! Thanks!
What a perfect idea in this cold weather. My husband would especially love it.
Oh to have a beautiful Florida orange. Growing up I always looked forward to my stocking and it would always have the most beautiful orange in it. (I’m sure it came from Florida) Thanks for this giveaway.
