2023 Fruit Club Reviews

A Gift Inside

• Cost: From $53.20 (two months) to $499.95 (twelve months)

A Gift Inside started more than 50 years ago in the Sacramento Valley with pears and cherries, growing as a company to include Golden State Fruit in 2009, Farmstead Gourmet in Pennsylvania in 2013, and CY Chocolates shortly after that. These three branches work together to deliver delicious gifts through a one-stop shopping experience.

5 different fruit clubs

You've got quite a few possibilities to consider when using A Gift Inside for your fruit club:

• DeLite: with this fruit club, you'll get three pounds of fruit each month. You get to decide if you want one or two types of fruit in each box, so if there's an option you don't like you can always fill your box with the second choice. Pineapple, clementines, or both? Peaches, nectarines, or half-and-half? Choose your own adventure. Your cost will be $53.20 for the two-month plan; it goes up to $279.95 for 12 months.
• Premium: if you need more fruit than what comes in the DeLite, choose the Premium club. Every box has 4.5 pounds of fruit, with the same varieties and options as the smaller plan. The price range goes from $69.80 to $379.95.
• Premium Fruit/Cheese: every shipment includes approximately 3.5 pounds of fruit and two pieces of cheese - either two pieces of a single variety of cheese, or one piece of each. You might get Granny Smith apples and your choice of mild gouda or brie, Bosc pears with mild cheddar or chevre, and other curated selections. Membership costs start at $101.90 for two months, up to $499.95 for the 12-month club.
• Light Fruit/Cheese: a smaller version of the Premium club, this subscription has 2.5 pounds of fruit and your choice between two pieces of cheese. Past pairings included nectarines with either asiago or toma, peaches with bread cheese or traditional jack, and more. The club is priced from $79.90 to $399.95, with lengths from two months to a full year.
• Organic Fruit/Snacks: each month, you get to choose between "all fruit" and "fruit and a snack". For example, you can have just plums or plums plus dried fruit, nectarines alone or nectarines and trail mix, and so on. Each package contains up to five pounds of food, depending on the combination of fruit and snacks you select. This fruit club can be as short as two months ($76.60) or as long as a year ($399.95).
• Fruit Bowl Mix: the newest fruit club from this company, it includes a hyacinth/seagrass wire frame bowl with the first delivery - so that you can replenish your fruit bowl with each new monthly shipment. You'll get about 4.5 pounds of fruit in each box: an assortment of the "best of the season" produce like apples, pears, citrus and more. Pricing starts at $104.70 for three months and goes up to $379.95 for a full year's membership.

Shipping included

You won't pay extra for shipping with any of the fruit clubs at A Gift Inside. Their monthly plans are already priced competitively, and that perk gives you an even greater value for what you spend.

Super flexible

This company is one of the most flexible in almost every possible way. Maybe you only want your fruit club deliveries to happen during special months - you want to give your mom something special for Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, and her birthday. Or you want to hand-pick the shipments based on what's in each one, because you've got a picky eater who won't eat citrus but loves summer fruit. With A Gift Inside, that's no problem at all. Your fruit club can last two months, five months, ten months, whatever you prefer.

Gift giving perks

If you're giving a subscription as a gift, the first delivery will announce to your recipient the details of their surprise, like the months they can expect the packages and your personalized message in a gift card. Every delivery also comes with recipes and instructions for perfect ripening of that month's fruit. You can select the delivery date (always Tuesday through Saturday) for your first package's arrival, while subsequent months' boxes will always be delivered during the second week of the month.

100% guarantee

Every fruit club delivery is protected by a 100% guarantee. If your fruit doesn't arrive fresh, undamaged, and on time, A Gift Inside promises they'll fix it with a replacement or a refund. The company's feedback proves that they're doing a terrific job, with over 90% of their customers giving them a rating of 4 or 5 stars. Most frequently, shoppers say that they were delighted to give such impressive gifts for very reasonable prices, and that their gift recipients absolutely loved the fruit and other products.

So much to love

There's so much to love about the fruit clubs at A Gift Inside, and it's our preferred subscription plan if you want the most control over what gets sent and when. We particularly like the fruit-and-cheese pairings that take the gourmet experience to another level with combinations you might not think to try - or even have available at your local market. You're sure to love any of the monthly plans you choose at A Gift Inside.
