Gift boxes are always a welcome surprise. When it comes to birthdays, anniversaries, and other holidays or occasions, food is a highly anticipated aspect of the celebration.
As more Americans grow even more health-conscious, there’s also a need to avoid or cut back on snacks and sweets. That’s why healthy gift boxes, such as freeze-dried fruit gift boxes, are very much appreciated.
Everyone loves food baskets or gift boxes. Even things that aren’t usually thought of as special gifts, like healthy snacks, become extra special when they’re nicely packaged in a box.
A well-wrapped and packaged box is also more convenient for shipping to loved ones far away.
While a lot of healthy gift baskets or boxes contain a variety of snacks, freeze-dried items alone can make a super impressive gift box.
This means an assortment of freeze-dried fruits, freeze-dried vegetables, and other freeze-dried goods your friends and family can easily snack on or integrate into their recipes.
The way we consume food is rapidly changing. Freeze-dried items have made it easier and more affordable for people to consume fruit on a more regular basis.
Freeze-dried fruits are harvested at peak season and dried immediately. This way, the original taste, texture, and nutritional content of the produce is preserved for a long time.
Freeze-dried fruit and vegetables can be eaten directly, rehydrated with some water, or incorporated into recipes as a healthier and more affordable option.
If your recipient is new to the wonders of freeze-dried produce, it would be helpful to include a guide to cooking with freeze-dried items along with a few recipes.
Gift Box Presentation Ideas
While there are ready-made freeze-dried fruit gift boxes on the Internet, either pre-arranged or ones you could customize to your loved one’s taste, there’s a lot of fun in DIY.
If you want to make your own healthy gift box with freeze-dried items, visit your local craft store. There, you’ll find a variety of baskets, boxes, and other containers just waiting to be filled up with your gifts.
You can save money by looking for used boxes in your home or office, or by visiting a dollar store, thrift store, or even a garage sale.
Craft stores will also carry nice stuffing or shred to help jazz up your gift box, plus a bow or wrapping materials as you wish.
Upcycling or doing everything yourself can be time-consuming, but it adds another level of affection for your family or friends.
Health-conscious individuals who would appreciate this as a gift are also likely concerned with the environment. This would make them feel you really thought about your gift!
If you’re extra thrifty, don’t ever throw away the bows you get from gifts! Save them for gifts you’ll give to others, but make sure you’re not giving them back to who you got them from.
Don’t limit yourself to only using boxes either! You can use boxes, decorative tins, vases, bowls, flowerpots, and other useful items to create your freeze-dried fruit gift box.
What You Should Include
Now that you have the box or vessel of choice and any appropriate wrapping accessories, it’s time to think about what should go in your freeze-dried fruit box.
The number one thing, of course, is your freeze-dried fruit.
You can make your dried fruit gift box thematic by building it around certain fruit types.
For example, a tropical assortment would include dried pineapples, papayas, kiwis, mangoes, and cantaloupes.
You can also make a berry set by filling it up with dried blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, cranberries, and cherries.
You can also make it exclusively super fruits for peak healthiness!
Freeze-dried vegetables are also available in the market so if you’re gifting one to someone who loves to cook, it will be a welcome addition.
Freeze-dried products usually come in packets while there are also powdered versions that come in cylindrical containers.
One tip is to line the box with shredded paper or fillers, ideally a color that compliments the color of the box, then lay out all your freeze-dried goods in a way that they can see all the labels in one glance.
While the top layer of items is a priority, make sure to keep the box organized throughout so they can easily find what they’re looking for.
As mentioned earlier, it would be great to include a card to introduce them to the different goods included in your gift box and how they can use them.
Add a personalized, handwritten message for an extra heartwarming touch!
