China: During the Chinese New Year, children in China receive red envelopes filled with money. This type of gift is called a hong bao. In addition, mandarin orange gift baskets are also distributed, along with large hampers. These orange gift baskets contain even number of oranges, since the tradition is that the number of oranges given to the host will be equaled by the number of oranges that the host distributes to each visitor to their house during this time.
Italy: The tradition of giving oranges, and using orange blossoms during wedding ceremonies to represent fertility, happiness and fulfillment, has existed since ancient times. Florida orange gift baskets, and gift baskets containing other varieties of the popular citrus fruit, play a large role in traditional Italian weddings to this day. Oranges are said to be symbols of purity, which is why traditionally, orange gift baskets were often presented to the family of the bride. This practice is still fairly common in some parts of Italy.
Spain: The first Florida oranges were probably Spanish imports, brought over by the early explorers. The tradition of giving Florida orange gift baskets during special occasions, the holiday season, and to commemorate weddings still continues in Spain to this day. In fact, the very first Florida orange gift basket was probably made possible by none other than one of the most famous Spanish explorers, Ponce De Leon, who was likely the first one to introduce the plant to what would become its native soil.
