LIST: Online stores offering fruit sets for a lucky, prosperous 2024
They say luck is something you can attract.
If you believe in it and think you could use some of it in 2024, you can start by kicking off the year with some rituals that have long been believed to chase away bad luck and bring in good fortune. These include having 12 or 13 round fruits at the dining table and eating them on New Year’s Eve.
As per tradition, families across the globe do so as round fruits symbolize coins and money, which could bring luck, abundance, and prosperity to you all year round.
Here are some online stores offering 12 round fruits in boxes and baskets for your NYE celebration. Note that the fruits may change without prior notice, but rest assured that they will be replaced with others of the same value.
