Have you ever given or received an Edible Arrangement? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

abby2473 · 08-05-2008, 05:31 AM

We just won a $50 gift certificate for one and DH is on his way to pick one up for my Mom's B-day dinner tonight....so, I'll not only get to see it but taste it! I'm thinking it's going to be on the smallish side.....but it is a nice alternative to flowers!

We received one as a gift..it was great...BUT make sure the person has room in the fridge for one. We were able to take out a shelf on one side and it fit nicely...we ate the fruit for a week...

There is a store near us and we went to look..that is when I saw the smaller arrangements. My hushand got me a small strawberry bouquet..I have send a few of those...works well for two people.

Ive gotten a few edible arrangements and they were all PERFECT! The fruit was fresh and lasted for DAYS. Only the dipped strawberries seemed to go quicker. The chocolate on the fruit is sooooo delicious! I have never been disappointed by an edible arrangement. The only issue I have is its just me in my house and Ive never been able to finish one before I did have to throw some of the fruit away.

Thanks for all the feedback! I had thought I would just order it online or over the phone - but I do like your idea YorkieRose to go see them in person, to get a better understanding of the size.

I was actually just looking at these this morning to send to my cousin whose in the hospital! Unfortunately, they don't deliver in her location so I ended up just sending her a get well bed tray with goodies from FTD. I would love to send one to myself though to you know, try it out.

They drop them by here at work from time to time. They are neat, but after a short while, the fruit just looks less than appealing...

My mom bought one for the family to eat on Easter and it was very beautiful and very tasty. The whole thing is edible there is even a head of lettuce at the bottom that they steak the fruit into. I gave one to my stepmom for mothers day and had it delivered to her work and it was a big hit.

I'm quoting myself....

!!! But the arrangement was a hit, was bigger than I thought, the fruit was really fresh people seemed to already know about them and have sent them before but had never actually seen or tried them....I would say go for it.... I would do this again in place of flowers any time!

I just received one a few weeks ago and loved it! Most of my fruit was dipped in chocolate and it was delicious!! It lasted really well in the refrigerator too.

I have 3 times and the people i have sent it to loved loved it more than flowers!

yorkiesmiles · 08-06-2008, 09:51 AM

Ok, you all have me talked into. I just have to find time to get there and get it ordered. They are only open when I'm at work - and I am having trouble leaving in the midst of the day as my dd has been using my car until she leaves for college. Hopefully, I can get there tomorrow.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL THE GREAT FEEDBACK!!

I have received two of these from my daughter and love, love, love them! Do not hesitate to send them as they are a perfect gift! Mine came from Incredible Edibles!

My sister inlaw had some at her wedding and they were just beautiful and delicious

We actually just received one on Monday and we sent one to my mom this past friday because she had surgery! We have had them before and have loved them.
I also have received a pajamagram and that was awesome and we have also ordered from cookies by design and those too are great hits!
