About Us
Meet Manhattan Fruitier
We are a one-of-a-kind gifting company, specializing in crafting fresh fruit and fine food gift baskets that embody tasteful design, thoughtful production, and a delightful reception. Established in 1987, we bring over 30 years of experience in curating gifts that leave a lasting impression on every recipient.
Discerning Taste
Dedicated to excellence, we pledge to incorporate only the freshest and premium-quality ingredients in our gifts. Each basket is made to order, featuring a diverse selection of fresh fruits and delectables sourced both locally and globally. To ensure unparalleled quality, every case of fruit undergoes rigorous taste testing, and each piece is visually inspected before finding its place in a gift. Our commitment extends to a curated collection of baked goods, chocolates, dried fruits, nuts, meats, and cheeses—carefully chosen from artisans we hold in high regard and flavors we personally love. Your satisfaction is our priority, and we guarantee that every element in our gift baskets reflects our unwavering dedication to quality and taste.
An Eye for Beauty
Recognizing that a gift is a meaningful reflection of the sender's taste and thoughtfulness, our aim is to captivate both the visual senses and the palate. Drawing inspiration from the exquisite beauty of Dutch still-life paintings and the wonders of nature, we meticulously craft gifts with timeless allure. Each creation is a testament to our dedication, from the thoughtfully chosen array of fruits—boasting a spectrum of colors, shapes, and sizes—to the meticulous arrangement of decorative leaves and flowers. Every detail is carefully considered to ensure that our gifts not only please the eye but also evoke a sense of enduring beauty and appreciation.
Alluring Variety
Explore our extensive range of gift baskets, offering a wealth of options to ensure a perfect match for your recipient's tastes. Our diverse selection includes baskets featuring seasonal and exotic fresh fruits, delectable dried fruits and nuts, artisanal handmade chocolates, scrumptious baked goods crafted from scratch, premium farmhouse cheeses, exquisite artisan charcuterie, smoked fish, luxurious caviar, and even stunning bouquets of roses. Additionally, we provide a thoughtful assortment catering to special dietary needs, with offerings such as gluten-free and vegan options, as well as an expansive organic line. Whatever the preference or requirement, we have a carefully curated selection to make your gift truly special.
Bespoke Customer Service
We pride ourselves on delivering personalized service to each customer, emphasizing the importance of attentive listening and expertise. Understanding the unique motivations behind your gift-giving, we pay close attention to your preferences and special requests. Our goal is to assist you in selecting a gift that not only aligns with your sentiment but is also suitable for the occasion, ensuring it leaves the best possible impression. From placing your order to crafting and delivering your gift, we strive to make the entire process pleasant and effortless, eliminating any sense of chore associated with sending a gift.
Sustainability is important to us and it is reflected in our packaging. Our all-natural baskets are made from willow, bamboo, water hyacinth, sea grass, jute, and fine-quality papers, all of which can be re-purposed to extend their life and reduce waste. Our fresh fruit is cushioned with 100% recycled paper and we wrap breakables in a natural corrugated paper. Our hand-delivered baskets are protected by net bags made from natural Abaca fibers rather than cellophane—perfect for your next trip to the farmer’s market! Our shipped gifts are secured in their boxes with recycled paper rather than artificial pellets. Finally, fresh fruit that meet our aesthetic standards, but are still edible, are donated to City Harvest, a NYC-based organization that distributes food to local relief programs.
