Would it be acceptable to send a gift to someone who I haven't seen or talked to in several months? I'm contemplating sending him an Organic Fruit Basket from Harry & David for Christmas, but I'm not sure if it would be odd to send it out of the blue and make for an uncomfortable situation. I'd like for it to be a surprise. After all, it is the thought that counts. Please let me know what you think. Thank you.

Personally, I'd very much enjoy a gift out of the blue from an old friend. If you're just sending it to be nice, then something like a fruit basket sounds like a perfect idea. It's simple, friendly, and not too personal all at the same time, so it won't be awkward. If you'd like to set up some type of communication with your friend though, or if you're trying to get close with that friend again then I'd suggest sending him something a bit more thoughtful. A letter with baseball tickets for the two of you would be nice, in my opinion. My friend actually did that exact thing a few years back, we hadn't talked in about 8 months and he sent those as an early Birthday present. We've been going to the local pub every week together since. I hope my opinions have helped. -Jonathan Gier
