Fresh fruit hampers come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. They contain a wide variety of long lasting fresh fruits. Not only do these fruits look wonderful and colourful, but they are also rich in nutritional value. If you plan on sending a fruit hamper to somebody special but you need to store it overnight, there are some important things to consider.
 
Some might say that online hamper retailers should deliver the hamper directly to the recipient. However, many people prefer to see the look on the recipient’s face when they receive their gift. Many people also like to place their gift order online so that they don’t attend a birthday, house warming, or another occasion empty handed. In these cases, the hamper delivery can be made the day before the occasion and you will simply need to store it until you are ready to make the delivery yourself.
 
If you order a fresh fruit hamper during the colder winter months, it’s important to keep the hamper in a room that does not get too cold. In other words, even if it’s just for one night, you should not leave the hamper in your car! The cold can seriously affect the quality of the fruit. Similarly, you wouldn’t want to place the hamper near any sources of heat like a fireplace, radiators, or any kind of heater.
 
If you place your order in the summer, you will want to keep your hamper at a moderate temperature. If it gets too hot, the fruit could perish prematurely. Keep it out of the sun and in a dry place. Humidity is another potential problem that can be avoided. Fortunately, if you only intend on storing the hamper for one night, you won’t need to worry too much about humidity affecting the fruit.
 
Once you present the hamper to the recipient, you might want to advise them to remove the plastic as soon as possible. The plastic can cause moisture to become trapped inside the hamper and this could cause the fruit to perish earlier than it should.
