Surprise a Sick Friend or Loved One with Fruit Delivery

Send Fresh Citrus: A Get Well Gift That Actually Helps

A get well card is a kind gesture, but fresh citrus fruit is something your sick friend or loved one can actually use. Citrus is one of the most practical gifts you can send to someone who isn’t feeling well, packed with vitamin C, folate, and antioxidants that support immune function and help the body repair itself. Whether they’re recovering from an illness or bouncing back from surgery, a box of fresh fruit is a gift that does real good.

What to Send

Pittman & Davis has a strong lineup of farm fresh citrus available right now through spring:

• Rio Ruby Red Grapefruit – The flagship. Juicy, slightly tart, and loaded with vitamin C and lycopene.
• Navel Oranges – Sweet, seedless, and easy to eat even when you’re not feeling your best.
• Mandarins and Tangerines – Easy to peel, naturally sweet, and great for snacking when appetite is low.
• Clementines – Small, seedless, and simple to eat with no prep required.
• Cara Cara Oranges – Lower in acidity than regular oranges, making them easy on a sensitive stomach.
• Gold Nugget Mandarins – Available through April, rich and honey-sweet.

Ship Get-Well Citrus Anywhere

Fruit delivery ships anywhere in the country, which makes it ideal when distance is a factor. You can send directly to a home address or, if your loved one is hospitalized, straight to the hospital. When you can’t be there in person, a thoughtful gift goes a long way. Studies consistently show that people with strong social support tend to recover more quickly, so even a simple delivery can make a real difference.

Don’t Forget Long-Term Care

Friends and family members in assisted living or long-term care facilities often feel forgotten between visits. A regular citrus delivery is a meaningful way to stay connected and make sure they’re getting fresh, nutrient-rich food that they might not always have access to at the facility.

Browse Pittman & Davis citrus gifts and find something worth sending. Fresh fruit ships straight to the door, no trip to the store required.
