Buy the contents, not the photograph
Start with the fruits the recipient likes to eat. Pears, apples and citrus offer a different selection from a tropical mix, and the prettiest basket may not contain their favorites. Read the actual item list and any stated weight or count before judging value.
Some gift baskets add crackers, cheese, chocolate or nuts. Those extras can be welcome, but they change the gift and its dietary requirements. An empty fruit bowl, a dried-fruit box and a basket of fresh whole fruit are different purchases.
Plan around the eating window
Choose a delivery date when someone can receive and unpack the basket.
Consider how many people will share it and how quickly they eat fresh fruit.
Read the seller's storage and ripening guidance for the exact contents.
A large hamper can create more pressure than pleasure if the fruit ripens together or the recipient is about to travel. A smaller selection may be the more generous choice in practice.
A simple fruit-anniversary gift
Fresh fruit is one traditional choice for a fourth wedding anniversary. The connection can be explained in a card; the more important decision is choosing fruit they want, in a quantity that suits their home. There is no need to turn a food gift into a promise about health or a particular diet.
Check the final delivery details
The selection and packaging may change with availability. Read substitution terms, delivery charges and the geographic area served, and confirm whether a personal message can be included. For a surprise, make sure the arrival itself will not be inconvenient.
