Flowers are nice. In fact, flowers are beautiful, but they really can&#8217;t hold a stick to the gorgeous and delicious fruit\u00a0 baskets designed and delivered by Edible Arrangements. Both baskets contained the freshest fruits cut in to adorable shapes\u00a0(stars and flowers) and a few pieces were dipped in chocolate (to die for!)<\/p>\n<p>Flowers\u00a0are pretty, but other than that &#8230; they die and have little function.\u00a0Designer fruit baskets are pretty<em> and<\/em>\u00a0offer the recipient a scrumptious yet healthy treat. I received one as a thank you gift from my brilliant intern, Stacy, and one to offer condolences when my father passed away. In both\u00a0\u00a0cases, the sentiment was thoughtful and appropriate. As your fancy fitness expert, I highly recommend you choose Edible Arrangements over flowers or baskets full of junk food when sending a present to those on your list. They will not disappoint!<!--more--><\/p>\n\n<p>All photos courtesy of EdibleArrangements.com.<br \/>\n<iframe width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0owj5BJsOkg\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I recently received two separate baskets of Edible Arrangements and have decided that it&#8217;s one of the most perfect gift choices I&#8217;ll ever receive or give.
