1 Banana, 2 Banana, 3 Banana, Ship!

December 7, 2009 8:15 AM

Where O Where can someone find fresh bananas to ship as a gift... more specifically, anyone know of a place that ships JUST fresh bananas as a gift?

I have a friend that eats bananas daily (suffice to say it is actually for a medical reason). She is going through a tough time, and I'd like to send her something unique and special. So I'm looking for somewhere that'll send her a bunch of bananas (or several bunches spread out over a few weeks). I know of edible arrangements, but they only have dipped bananas and even then, only as a part of a basket.. she really doesn't eat any other fruit, so the rest would be a waste!
Any help is appreciated.

In her neighbourhood, is there any sort of grocery delivery? In my neck of the woods, we have several places (here's one in Vancouver, for example) that will deliver groceries on a weekly basis. You order online, things show up at your door. If such a thing is available where she lives, I'm sure you could just set up a weekly order of bananas.
