LIST: Where to get ‘lucky’ fruit baskets to welcome 2023

By Brooke Villanueva Published Dec 29, 2022 12:53 pm

By now, you’re probably on the hunt for “lucky” fruits to ring in another year. 

In every New Year celebration, round fruits are a must on the dining table as they are known to attract wealth and prosperity. Their circular shape is believed to symbolize coins and money. 

Traditionally, families prepare 12 or 13 of them to represent each month of the year. While it’s easy to find them at your local market or grocery store, it’s safer—and more convenient—to have them delivered to your doorstep in one box. This way, you can avoid large crowds in the time of the pandemic and the hassle of having to carry them to your place. 

Here are some online stores you can count on for some “lucky” fruits for 2023.

C&F Fruits has different packages for the new year, with each one packed with stunning fairy lights. They have an affordable Glitter Package (P1,000/13 local fruits) and a more pricey Sparkle Package (P3,000/13 premium fruits), but your best option could be the Shimmer Package (P2,000/13 fruits) that comes with a mix of local and premium offerings such as pineapple, papaya, pomelo, Korean pear, avocado, longan, honeydew, guava, orange, kiwi, grapes, mangosteen, and dragon fruit. It’s important to note that the availability of the fruits may vary.
