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!
Tis the season for some extra C……
What a fabulous gift for this time of year!
I could definitely use some vitamin C in my diet. I love citrus fruits.
Fruit is good.
This Washington girl would LOVE some Florida fruit!
I love decorating with fruit–it makes my house smell nice 🙂
That orange juice in the pic actually looks pretty good! Did you make it yourself?
What great ideas! Thanks!
The oranges look yummy.
Mmm. Oranges. Sounds like a great gift!
We LOVE oranges! Especially super juicy & ripe oranges!
I love oranges and all their scurvy-preventing goodness.
Yeah! Fruit
Florida citrus – the best there is!
Citrus and the holidays just seem to go together perfectly in my mind.
