These last-minute gift ideas will save your valentine’s day!

Lovely Mango will show you how to make easy Valentine’s day gifts.

On Valentine’s day, we like to show appreciation for the ones we love: our teachers, co-workers, friends, and especially family members. But sometimes we realize Valentine’s day is around the corner and we never got a chance to get anything special to give to our valentines. So let’s check out some ideas that will save your Valentine’s day!

Lovely Mango has some ideas to share so you can create a last-minute Valentine’s fruit gift! The first thing we should think about is colors! Valentine’s Day is about love and love reminds us of the color pink and red. So, let’s say you are at home on February 14th and you realize you didn’t get anything to give to your spouse or kids. However, if you have a few delicious, fresh fruits in the kitchen these can definitely save your Valentine’s Day!

Apples, pomegranates, strawberries, and watermelon; are some examples of “fruits of love.”

So now it starts the fun part: you can make different shapes with them. For example, if you have cookie cutters, find a heart shape or your valentine first letter’s name and go from there. Then, it will be a special surprise and they will love how it looks and how special and sweeter it will be to eat the fruits. Here are some examples that Lovely Mango wants to share with you:

All you need for these lovely kabobs are cookie cutters and wood sticks. We used strawberries and grapes. Strawberries are not only red in color, but they also used to represent perfection and love. They still do! And if you have red grapes at home it will look even better! Just cut the strawberries with a heart cookie cutter, and add them to the wooden stick followed by a grape. Repeat this step a few more times. The smaller the cookie cutter the better, so it can fit on the strawberry to cut well.

You can also try making a LOVE boat!

To make a Love Boat, all you need is a bowl with an elongated shape and add a few red color fruits with romantic heart shapes inside! Feel free to add the fruit kabobs as the boat’s paddles.

In order to make slices of watermelon as heart shapes, the watermelon needs to be cut into thinner slices to fit in the cookie cutter. Be creative and make your Valentine’s favorite things using various shapes to make them unique and personal. But you can’t go wrong with a LOVE Boat full of hearts! Try these ideas or use your own creativity to save your Valentine’s day!

4 reasons why this is a great gift these holidays

A bowl of fruits is the gift you need to make someone smile these holidays!

During the holidays some of us wonder what to give to our friends and family. There are so many options out there: electronics, clothes, shoes, gift cards, and so on. These are great options but we can be more creative when it comes to presents during the holidays. So, how about fruits?! Wow – that sounds like an easy task already, and it is!

Pomegranates, kiwi, oranges, and a large variety of pears are some of the examples of fruits from this season. Food is easily acceptable as gifts! Check out the 4 reasons why giving a bowl with beautiful winter fruits can be a go-to gift these holidays!

  1. It is easy to prepare a bowl with fruits. You can shop for fruits at your best local market, or you can order online at an online grocery store you trust to deliver good quality produce at your door. I trust my shoppers from Whole Foods, so I just order my fruits and veggies online to be delivered at the comfort of my home. Now all I need to do is to buy a bowl at the store or order it from any online shop. You just need to plan ahead so there is enough time for delivery and you can get the gift ready.
  2. Fruits of the season are healthier and more delicious. Your loved one would be so happy to receive a bowl full of delicious, sweet fruits! When buying fruits in season, it means that they were picked when fully ripened and consequently they taste delicious! Fruits in season also have better nutrition because the nutrients are fully developed once they are completely ripened.
  3. It’s fun to pick out the perfect bowl. Especially in today’s convenient online shop, we can find a large variety of the item we are looking for. You might be looking for a pink bowl because your friend likes that color, or you may think the bamboo kind fits better a family lifestyle. You may also think it’s just easier to have a holiday theme on it! Ideally, for a bowl of fruits, you should be getting a 10 to 12-inch size bowl. You can also wrap your bowl of fruits with a cellophane wrap and add a bowl for a final touch.
  4. Most people love fruits. You can’t get wrong with a bowl of fruits as a gift these holidays! Food items are not only useful, and in this case, fruits are always welcome, and shared too! Your loved ones can enjoy their favorite fruits and maybe share the not so favorite ones with other members in the house. The same goes for the bowl, it can always be a very useful item in the house. Depending on the materials it is made of, you can use it to help you cook in the kitchen or as a decorative item.
