Fruit Baskets

Have you ever had a good fruit basket? We have traveled for many years in our ministry and have had some scrumptious ones. And, we have had others that are not so great. The best ones were the professionally packaged ones. Occasionally you would get a good personally packed one, but those usually contained a lot of candy filler.

The Fruit Company has some wonderful looking baskets. The combination of fruits, sausages and cheeses (along with many other products) looks scrumptious. They have baskets starting at $35 and going up to over $300. Whatever your budget, they have a basket you can afford.

There are many opportunities to give a fruit basket. While you may not think of them as a day-to-day type gift, they do have their perfect moments.

When speaking in conferences I have often been given a fruit basket. It is a perfect gift, in that many of the contents can be consumed in the week of the conference. Even without the hosts knowing much about me and my family, they can take a safe guess that Fresh Fruit will be appreciated. And if I am not able to take the basket with me because of lack of space, my host or hostess always appreciates the basket as a gift back to them.

What about the “hard to buy for” person. I have a friend who, well into her 80s, would often talk about the fruit baskets that were given to her when she returned from a trip. She was one of these eccentric people who had everything she would ever want or need. Yet, she raved about the fruit basket gifts she received.

While this is not the type of gift you may give in every situation, you may want to consider a fruit basket from The Fruit Company the next time you need a special gift for an occasion. I know the recipient will be pleased.

Calvin can’t find his jacket

My wife sent me a link to today’s Calvin and Hobbes‘ comic. I don’t know if she was directing this comment to me, or just thought it was funny. I am afraid it had some personal jab attached to it.

She contends that men lack the ability-to-find-what-you-are-looking-for gene. It is not our fault that women have too much of the put-stuff-back-where-it-belongs gene.

Need blank media?

Supermediastore.com is a site that sells every imaginable type of blank media you might need. Well, actually, I did not find any 3.5″, or 5.25″ floppies. But, besides that, I found storage media that I did not even know existed.

They sell MP3 players and media duplicators. I remember driving into Nashville once to pick up a load of music CDs that my company had duplicated. The machine cost thousands of dollars just 7 years ago. With the prices at Super Media Store, today our company could easily buy their own high end duplicator.

Need to store your media? They have DVD and CD storage boxes. You can buy plastic sleeves or paper envelopes and mailers.

SuperMediaStore.com has many flash products as well. Currently they have a special on a 4GB USB flash drive with free shipping for $38.99 as a Father’s Day special. Not a no name either. It is a SanDisk drive.

In need of tonor or ink? They have Canon toner as well as many other brands available.

Check them out and see if they have the media you need for the price you want to pay.

Wanna free pair of sunglasses?

Tifosi sunglassesA fellow runner is running in a 50 mile ultra-marathon. He is doing this as a fund raiser for the Lupus Foundation of America.

One of his sponsors, Tifosi Optics, has donated 2 pairs of sunglasses which he will be giving away in a drawing later this year. For each $5 donated to his fund raising efforts, you get an entry into the drawing.

I know nothing about these specs other than they look really cool. He has 2 different styles that he will be giving away. One is the Slip model and the other is the Gavia model.

Take some time and check out his training efforts and if you would like to donate, let me encourage you to do so. You may not be able to give $200, but $5 will help.
