So, you’ve realized that the future receiver of your gift is more of a herbivore than those long-necked dinosaurs who used to roam this round Earth. They’re impartial to produce, they speak 13 different languages just to be able to always order their fave fruits while travelling, and they totally think the food pyramid should be made solely of fruits and vegetables. Why not honor this affection for “nature’s fast food” by theming your present accordingly? Here are some gift ideas for the fruit and veggie lovers:
Vintage Cloisonné Enamel Fruit Brooches
These fruit brooches are so sweet and their tones are rich, with a kind of feel that they were pulled from an old photograph. Perfect for topping off an outfit with a subtle nod to our fruit friends. Get them at CandiSuesCreation’s Etsy shop here!
Apple-Shaped Cooking Timer
Chances are our produce lover is going to be cooking up a storm, so why not keep time in classic style? A sleek and discrete nod to the fruit we, for some reason, always attribute to teachers. Get one from Qzoxx here!
Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream
This stuff is magic, apparently. And oh so natural, mmm. Nothing like good ol’ Burts Bees to keep your gift receiver’s digits and toesies smooth and smelling like lemon-love. Holla at StyleCircle x Beauty! Get some from Burt’s Bees here!
Got the Tang of It Pants
Forego polka-dots and abstract prints for enlarged images of members of the citrus family floating on these crisp slacks. Don’t these trousers look like they were taken from a stylish summer backyard party photoshoot? Get a pair from ModCloth here!
Vegetable Stationary Cards
A watercolour veggie spin on the classic fruit bowl still life. Give these cards to your gift receiver so they can send notes that speak louder than their words, or use these to include a sweet note along with the gift! Get a set from Society6 here!
Spiral Sharpener Vegetable Peeler
Kitchen gadgets like this one are the perfect gift because they’re the kind of product someone may want but will usually never buy for themselves because they’re not essential. Sure, you can peel your carrots with a knife, but why not have some fun with it and do an even and easy job with this sharpener? Just warn your gift receiver not to mix it up with their graphite or makeup pencil sharpeners! Get one from Kitchen Stuff Plus here!
Watermelon-Shaped Candles
These candles are adorable, handmade, and look so close to the real thing! Give the taste of summer in this cute combustible. Get them at LessCandles’s Etsy shop here!
Kiwi-Shaped Candles
They come in Kiwi-shape too! This fruit easily wins the ‘Most Unexpected Deliciousness’ title. Like, first it’s a fuzzy brown ball (why are we eating this again?), but then you slice it open and find the juicy treasure inside. Get them at LessCandles’s Etsy shop here!
We hope that when your gift is opened – maybe consider wrapping it in produce-toned wrapping paper, you know, to keep things subtle 😉 – your herbivore loves it and loves you for recognizing their interests. Here’s to a gift that’s so kitsch, so cute, so fruit.
