Their products are top-quality. by agnes on 01/30/2012

Nice website, good selection, great customer service! I recently needed to send a supplier a special thank you gift for going way out their way for us. Feren Fruit & Gift seemed to have the widest variety of baskets available, and and the website was extremely easy to use. They even e-mailed the confirmation to me, along with a receipt, immediately following my online transaction. by Bill Rosenberg, Chairman, Columbia Chemical Corp. on 01/05/2012

Classy Gourmet Baskets

The Feren baskets off a unique selection of items and substitutions with high quality imported and domestic products in an elegant presentation. My recipients call with rave reviews and compliments on the choice of treats. I love the variety and ability to customize with different additions. by Patti on 12/15/2011

Not the fruitcake type gift you think a fruit basket would be

Well, it certainly had fruit in it, it was very fresh, the grapes were firm and undamaged, a good measure of freshness and care. The other food items were unique and very tasty. The other nice thing was for a couple of the smaller food items, there were two of them so when you found something you liked, you had another one to share and enjoy. by RatePoint Reviewer on 12/05/2011

Great Selection and Products
The number of basket offerings is extensive and there is something for every occassion. The fruit is fresh and wonderful and the nuts and other goodies are terrific. They have a wonderful knowledge of wines and can select something that will be enjoyed by any recipient. They also offer floral arrangements and items like steaks and salmon packages ! One stop shopping! by Diana on 12/02/2011

A WOW Gift

I found Feren looking for a Cleveland area gift basket provider to send a birthday gift to my sister from Dallas who visiting my nephew and his family. It was a WOW and supplied 4 adults and 3 little girls with fruit and goodies over an entire weekend. Thanks! I'd order again in a heartbeat. by Mary Hediger on 10/27/2011

f164 - Seasonal Splendor
I ordered this for my friend and her family and they truly enjoyed it. They stated the fruit was fresh and had an excellent variety in the basket. There was a sufficent amount of fruit for the family to last a while. Anything I have ordered from Feren has been good...and received in a timely manner.

Great Job! Feren Fruit & Gift Baskets Feren did a great job making a special basket for the onocology team at my cancer treatment center in Cleveland, Ohio. They got the gift quickly!

Superior service and Quality every time!

Dina LOVES the gift basket! She was especially excited about the mango, asian pear, globe grapes, and mandel cuts, and she tells me that every basket I have sent her from you comes in a wonderful container, all of which she has kept and still uses. Thank you again for helping me make my little girl happy. Have a wonderful Easter! by Paula on 04/25/2011

Superior quality products and personalized attention!

My family and I have received many wonderful gift baskets from Feren Fruit and Gift Baskets. My mother sent them for our birthdays and special days like the first day of school each year. I remember how fondly she used to speak about your company as well as your staff and remarked about the exceptional care you took to make sure you included items of particular interest for each recipient.
After my mother lost her sight later in life and could no longer read the brochures, she delighted in being able to just call you directly and describe what she wanted to select for someone. She was always equally thrilled to later hear that what had arrived was exactly what she anticipated.
Recently, while looking through years of pictures to put together a collage for a graduate this year, I was vividly reminded of how much a part of our lives your baskets have been over 20+ years. Thank you so much for your high quality products and most wonderful service for so many years! by J. O'Driscoll on 04/20/2011

Generous and Fresh!

My Get Well fruit basket from Feren's was packed with a variety of fresh fruit. Some of the fruits were exotic and I got to try them for the first time. The grapes were almost the size of golf balls! The packing grass was moist, ensuring the delivery made it to its destination without wilting. Fruit baskets are so much better than flowers and if fro m Feren's, you can count on them being high quality. Thank you for your high quality basket. I will definitely spread the word. by Sandy M. on 03/30/2011

Excellent variety of baskets!!!!!!!!!! by Pat Kopachko on 06/01/2010

I was a Harry and David poster child until I happened upon Ferens.

Long story short, it was 12:00 pm and I needed same day delivery of a gift basket for my elderly parents. Additionally, I wanted the best fruit wine and cheese sent that I could get but H&D could not provide same day or even next day delivery. So, with much trepidation, I called Ferens and the phone was answered by the owner, Peter. He was extremely personable, knowledgable and helpful. He pointed out differences between his company and H&D, but never said anything negative about them, which I appreciated. I explained the circumstances and he made some wonderful suggestions and created a customized gift basket, delivered it within hours, and ultimately my parents continue to rave about it. I am a Ferens poster child now and highly recommend them to those interested in unique and high quality products coupled with spot on service.

Peter: Every year I purchase a beer basket for my dad’s birthday. You always ship it on time and he’s always thrilled when he receives it. He said this year was the best ever. You do such a great job of adding your special touch to everything you do. I can’t be with him on his birthday but I can always rest assured that when I send him one of your specialty beer baskets, it will undoubtedly be the best gift he receives. He always says what a great job you do and how much he loves it. Thanks again!

Tony, Since it is often difficult to reach you by phone due to your busy schedule, I thought I would send you this message to thank you and Rosella for the lovely gift basket. and I received it on Tuesday and what a wonderful surprise it was. How thoughtful.

Not only is it beautiful, and very creative, but it also holds very special meaning to me being a native Clevelander. The popcorn balls, and candy kisses in the yellow wrappers, bring back fond memories of my visits to Euclid Beach as a child. The stadium mustard reminds me of the many hot dogs I ate on those cold days at Municipal Stadium watching the Browns. The Cleveland Botanical Gardens has always been one of my favorite places. When I worked at the VA Medical Center, the Gardens, as well as, the other museums were within walking distance, so many of my lunch breaks were spent there. And who doesn't love Peterson's nuts?

If I do not see or speak to you before the holidays, my wish is that you and Rosella have a very merry and most importantly a blessed Christmas, and in general, a happy holiday season. Thank you again

Peter -- As promised, (by you) Audra was thrilled with what you put together for her. So I was thrilled. As it turned out, she didn't get to her hotel room until after midnight. Flying all day, setting up her booth, she dragged herself back having not eaten dinner. I think we can both imagine how that basket hit her. She said she was moved to tears. Short ones, because she dug in to eat. As VP of Marketing, she has received and sent many baskets in her life and Audra said that yours was the best ever in terms of quality. I already told you how much I appreciated your help on the phone -- So thank you so much for very good work. Valerie

Peter: I wanted to send a thank you note for the beautiful fruit basket you sent to our Doc that was at Duke. The Doctor and his wife were extremely complimentary of it....and enjoyed the fruit, candy and basket - very, very much! Thanks also for the trouble you went through to find the correct location at Duke!! You are the BEST!!

Peter, Thank you so much for your IMMEDIATE response with the tracking info -- this is just another example of why I will continue to do business with you. Regards, Deborah

By the way, it just arrived and, as usual, it is PERFECT -- thank you SO much !!

Peter...Just letting you know that this basket was wonderful and there is plenty to share. The basket ordered last week was also wonder as well...it sort of forced the recipient to eat fruit which was not his favorite. Everyone who has received your fruit baskets have commented on how your presentation and quality of your fruits and other goodies that are included. All the comments have been nothing but positive... Karen Spehar

I just took delivery of my order and gave it to my husband -- he was THRILLED with his tub of beers, and I just wanted to take a sec and say "Thank you" for your AMAZING customer service, and great delivery service !!

I do most of my shopping online, and you can be sure that I have bookmarked your site and will now happily recommend you to any of my friends and colleagues when they are looking for gift baskets.

You guys ROCK !! Thank you, SO much !!

I just wanted to share the feedback I received from the recipient of the Stunning Scenario basket. I ordered it last week for delivery to my boss's wife in Michigan and she just loved it. She raved over the presentation in the tin container and the wine was a delightful surprise. You are consistent in quality and your delivery timing is excellent. Thank you. ChristineSapp

Peter, Per our conversation, I want to commend you on the tremendous job you and your team did with my order. As I shared with you, I sent two baskets to my new place of employment a week prior to my first day of work. It was very important for me to make a positive impression, you and your team were a great part in making this happen.

The young woman who took my order was polite and very patient in taking my order and assisting me with picking the appropriate baskets.Your service was tremendous when you called to ask me if you could delay the delivery by half an hour to assure the appropriate expectations (you said your baker sometimes runs late and you did not want me to be disappointed if the delivery was a little bit late). Additionally, the response I got from the quality of the baskets was amazing. The best baked goods they have tasted, not to mention the cheese and wine basket.

I commend you for running such a customer friendly and high quality products company. A completely true positive brand experience. Thank you and your team for your excellence. I plan to continue ordering from your company in the future and will make sure to recommend your company anytime the opportunity rises.

Thank You, Cielo McClain, marcusthomas LLC

I believe it’s important to spread a little love whenever you can. For my family and my business, we spread the love with Feren Fruit and Gift Baskets.

During the past 4 years, I probably send at least one basket a week to business contacts, friends and family for nearly every occasion. What do I get when I send a Feren Fruit and Gift basket? You guessed it, love. Everyone who receives a fruit and gift basket from Feren calls me immediately with a “Wow, what a great basket, thank you, you’re so kind!” I call it the Feren Wow. Do as we do at Broadcast Media Ideas. Thank clients and friends with a Feren Fruit and Gift basket. You’ll get love and the Feren Wow too!

Subject: GREAT JOB!

Dear Peter, Just wanted to again tell you how thrilled the recipient of one of your CLEVELAND gift baskets was. He raved about all the neat items in the basket and said he didn't realize how may great things Cleveland was known for, like the mustard and the nuts.
Again, THANKS for the great compliment to us for selecting you to send the basket for us. We earned a few 'brownie points' with a business associate thanks to you.
