#1 Strawberry lovers are fun, sweet and energetic

If astrology is here to reveal our personality through reading the stars, then the fruit astrology help us with some personality traits according to our favorite fruit. So if you crave about strawberry (or other specific fruit), that means something about your personality.

It might not be as accurate as the traditional astrology, but fruit astrology is certainly fun. In a study by Hirsch for Baskin Robbins, strawberry lovers are often tolerant, devoted, and introverted. In other research, Strawberry eaters are considered logical and thoughtful.  If these characteristics are hard to reveal at first glance, then you’ll absolutely notice that a real fan of strawberries is always energetic, lively and passionate. Or at least seems so.

My top strawberry accessories (clockwise):

• The red strawberry umbrella by Monique (the left one)  is super cute. The design is fashionable and full of personality. It would match every strawberry lover soul – check it on Amazon HERE
• If you prefer something more unique, ALAZA strawberry umbrellas are what you’re searching for. Because of their absolutely innovative double layer. Thanks to it, the umbrella folds in the opposite direction and won’t wet the close objects (and people). Plus, it has a C-Shape holder. No worries where to store the wet umbrella!  Great gift for all occasions! (as I mention, they offer many designs, not only strawberry-themed) – check on Amazon HERE
• Watches make stylish gifts, although there are some sayings that when you give a watch as a gift, the recipient must pay it back with a coin. Some other time I’ll tell you more about this topic. Anyway, if you like this strawberry design watch, you can find it on Amazon (check HERE) – it’s with a black leather bracelet, Japan Quartz Movement, and an exquisite strawberry pattern.

# 2  Not really a berry, neither fruit

You heard me. Not a berry, neither real fruit. But how come they are called berries? Well, a legend says that strawberries were named in the 19th-century by English children. They found and picked the fruit, strung them on grass straws and sold them as “Straws of berries”. Smart, huh?

Although the strawberry is the most popular type of berry in the world, it is actually an accessory fruit” or “false fruit” since the red juicy part, known as a strawberry, doesn’t develop from the flower’s ovary.

Also, berries should have seeds on the inside. But you all know where are actually their seed. Moreover, strawberries are the only fruit to wear their seeds on the outside. Approx 200 seeds on an average strawberry, to be specific. Therefore botanists consider each seed to be its own separate fruit.

These seeds are full of essential vitamins and minerals. No wonder that strawberries aren’t just great to eat.  They also great for skin care. Strawberry seed oil is very high in linoleic and alpha-linolenic acids. And the seeds themselves do wonder for cleansing the skin as an essential part of exfoliating face and body scrubs.

# 3 Flowers actually

Woohoo, another surprise! Strawberries are a member of the rose family along with apples and plums. So this explains their amazing fragrance, as sweet as their taste. Stop and smell the strawberries! Or check these strawberry lover gifts that smell just like real strawberries.

Oh, did I mention that smells super yummy?

• Victoria’s Secret Garden Strawberries and Champagne Refreshing body mist is a delicious fragrance from the Secret Garden collection. A disarming combination of strawberry, champagne, and cassis.

# 4 Luckily, one of the most favorite food

People eat lots of strawberries. Americans, for example, eat an average of 3.5 pounds of fresh strawberries each per year. Plus another 1.8 pounds of frozen strawberries. More than 50 % of the kids between 7 – 9 years old choose strawberries as their favorite fruit.

Luckily.

Because strawberries are considered one of the healthiest fruits, also known as superfoods. They are full of antioxidants and minerals. Have more Vitamin C than an orange. Sodium, cholesterol and fat-free. Only 54 calories in 1 cup of strawberries (sliced, approx 170g) which is 1/3 the number of calories in a banana. The acids in the fruit whiten teeth and help to remove stains.

They’re real nature’s candy treasure!

Research suggests that eating just 8 strawberries a day can improve heart function, lower blood pressure, reduce inflammations and the risk of cancers. They can also help prevent brain defects in babies during pregnancy.

Of course, there’s no perfect happiness. Few people are allergic to strawberries. So paying attention is a must. Because the reaction may be quite severe, especially for babies and young kids.

Ripe strawberries are sweet and juicy. I love to eat them as they are, sprinkled with brown sugar. Or garnish yogurt, ice-cream, desserts. Or decorate cakes. I also enjoy strawberry smoothies. But what about strawberries in salads? Yes, you must try, and you won’t regret. Also, if you sprinkle strawberries with pepper, and eat them like this, the combination will help you lose weight faster.

To take the best taste of the fresh strawberries, here are some cool kitchen gadgets that make super useful gifts for the strawberry lovers.

# 5 Spirit-lifters

Imagine – strawberries can even put us in a better mood. Spring mood. Fresh mood.

Probably because strawberries are the first fruit to ripen in the first spring sun. Meaning – the winter is over. Summer is coming. Hurray!

It’s actually proven that eating strawberries and drinking strawberry juice stimulate the release of serotonin, the happiness hormone.

So adding strawberry accents here and there at home could be a real spirit-lifter. And this makes it a great housewarming gift for new homeowners among your friends or just a family occasion. If they are strawberry lovers – the pleasure would be double.

# 6 Tasting like summer

Although you can find strawberries on the market all-year round, the summer is their true season. Winter strawberries are pretty dull and watery in taste. It’s actually rare having a taste at all. They can be even harmful to your health because strawberries are exposed and actually contain lots of different pesticides (their dark side).

So better use freeze a good amount of strawberries in summer, consume them during winter, and wait until very early spring to buy some freshly ripen scarlets.

A small tip: remember the Strawberry appreciation day (27th Feb) as a starting point to start indulging in these juicy beauts. And think of summer. Slowly get ready for summer. A strawberry summer.

# 8 Plant a strawberry now, bear fruits 5 years

This is because the strawberry plant is a perennial. Of course,  if you plant a strawberry now, it may not bear fruit immediately. But once it does, it will remain productive for about five years.

Oh, and if you think strawberries are only red, then think again. Or you’ve already noticed the unicorn strawberries?  There are yellow, blue, white, black, purple strawberries too.

• White Carolina Pineberry 4″ pot – check HERE

The pineberry, for example, is all foodies’ new summer trend. Doesn’t it look just fabulous? White strawberry with red seeds. And no, it’s not fake. Can you imagine that pineberries are OMG the oldest strawberry variety, according to the dietitian Andrea Miller for Elle Canada. “”riginally strawberries were white in South America and red in North America. Spontaneous crossing between the Chilean white strawberry and the North American scarlets produced Fragaria ananassa, which is the base material for all the common strawberry varieties we have today.” And maybe sounds crazy, but they taste like pineapples! Sure to try them soon!

Growing own strawberry bushes may be a great idea for your own or your friends’ home garden. You only need quality seeds and a sunny place. These are also essential – they need 6-10 hours of direct sunlight, sandy soil, plenty of room, and well-drained planting site.

# 9 Libido-lifter

Strawberries are popular for their aphrodisiac properties. In ancient Greece, the strawberry was a symbol of Venus, the Goddess of Love because it’s heart-shaped and has a rich, red color. What is a romantic gift or gift experience without strawberries? And champagne. And flowers. Especially for the soon-to-come Valentine’s day.

Although both chocolate and strawberries are favorite for centuries, the combination of both wasn’t popular until Lorraine Lorusso (what a smart lady!) combined them in the 1960s. The awesome treat was born. And became an instant success. Since then fruit and chocolate have been seen as a perfect pair. You can now find all types of fruits, both fresh and dried, covered in chocolate.

But high-class chocolate dipped strawberries always remain classy. And look so elegant. And romantic. Perfect for Valentine’s day, anniversary or a birthday.  Just warning you – you’ll want to keep them for yourself. But still, a sweet way to send your love!

#10 Trendy print

Do you really care about fashion trends? Or colors? Have you ever heard of Pantone colors or Pantone  Color Matching System (PMS)? 

Well, basically PMS is a standardized color reproduction system. This way different manufacturers in different locations all over the world can all refer to the Pantone system to make sure colors match accurately. And avoid a pink that is pinker in the US than a pink in Australia.

Since 2000 the Pantone Color Institute officially declares a specific “Color of the Year”. According to Wikipedia Pantone has said that color “has always been an integral part of how a culture expresses the attitudes and emotions of the times”. So the color winner purportedly connects with the zeitgeist. Twice a year the company hosts a secret meeting. In 2 days of debates and presentations, the participants choose a color for the following year.The results of the meeting are published and actually guide and inspire most of the designers, florists, fashion bloggers to plan their future products and services.

So, what’s in common with my favorites strawberries?

The answer is: The Pantone Spring 2015 color trend called Strawberry Ice (16-1720)!  Oh, look at it! It’s a lovely delicate shade of pink, described as cooling yet refreshing color that brings warmth. It was absolute hit on the runways in Spring/Summer 2015. But there’s no way to look outdated if you count on this fabulous “both tasty and tasteful” Strawbery Ice color eery spring/summer season. When announcing the color, Leatrice Eiseman, the executive of Pantone Color Institute, once have said that it “evokes a feeling of being in the pink, emitting a flattering and healthy glow”. Subtle and charming, Absolutely gorgeous for spring/summer.

If you need to buy a top and pants that match, or if you want to make sure two colors go together, your best bet is to buy clothing (and accessories) from the same Pantone palette. Especially if you’re shopping online. Strawberry Ice, for example, pairs great with Toasted Almond and Tangerine.

Strawberry-themed clothes and accessories are wonderful gifts. I know that you probably worry – don’t they look quite childish? No, no, no! Strawberry Ice color is all-ages-friendly. The strawberry-prints add a little bit of flattering. They add glow. They add freshness. Especially when combined with a make-up of the same color palette.

You know – the black is always an option since it’s a universal color. But it’s oh, so boring. Moreover – it’s not very friendly to older women. And looks absolutely “out-of-time” during the sunny springtime.

# 11 Sassy

The combination of strawberries and champagne is often associated with stylish lux. There’s no a reception or high-class event not offering this kind of combination. But why is that?

It’s true that ancient Romans associated this fruit with many positive things, including prosperity. In medieval times, strawberries continued to be a sign of good living.

Honestly, the influence over people’s perception is some kind of voodoo magic. Because ‘strawberries in champagne’ sounds much better than it actually tastes. From my point, both strawberries and champagne, in their current forms, don’t really pair well together. At least, in taste.

In other words – it would be a shame to spoil either the champagne or the little gorgeous fruits because you’ve once heard that they are a classy combo.

But it’s true that a strawberry at the bottom of a champagne glass looks MAGNIFIQUE! And yes, classy.

#12 A Gemstone

Literally.

The Gem

There’s a gem called Strawberry Quartz. “Strawberry” because of its strawberry color, and the little tiny spots inside that look like seeds. It is the pink variety of the Quartz. Also known as the ‘Stone of Inner Love’.

This crystal resonates with the base chakra for its ability to protect, nurture, and love. To seize the day. Start anew. Get back on your spiritual path. Therefore, it’s used for making spiritual jewelry, called Shamballa bracelets, and Feng Shui Items.

The bracelet config

If that’s something new to you, Shamballa bracelets feature stone beads of a specific gemstone. It is said that if one carries out this, they will understand their unique place in peoples hearts. One of the most mystique places in the world  (and favorite to many people) is Shang ri-la, on the border of Tibet. Shamballa’s actually the Buddhist word for Shang-ri-la. It is’said to be an amazing place and these Shamballa bracelets promise to make their owners feel just as amazing. Carrying just a piece of Strawberry Quartz can be soothing and calming. A given piece of spiritual jewelry look awesome and make a lovely thoughtful gift that makes a statement. Especially for someone who loves the Buddhist practices and yoga.

Shamballa bracelets are actually really popular and form a significant part of the wardrobe to add an extra advantage in terms of styling and fashion.

# 15 ‘Life’s Sweet Pleasures’.

All flowers have a meaning. The Victorians used to use flowers as a symbol to express their feelings. And I’ve already told you that Strawberries are actually sort of flowers. Of the rose family. Therefore, they have their own meaning. Just like the roses, carnations, and others (learn more about the topic in this post or better – download your copy of the Flower’s secret language – part 1 here).

So the meaning is associated with Perfect goodness. And sweet pleasures. Sounds logical. These adorable strawberry charms and earrings are the perfect symbol to represent the sweetest memories.

# 16 The Perfect Drink

Strawberry Tea

Fresh sweet-floral and berry flavor, smooth and sugary texture. This is what you can expect from the strawberry black tea for example. It combines the succulent taste of sweet strawberries with bright Ceylon black tea. Just to mention that it is rich in caffeine. A pack of strawberry tea plus the strawberry Design Silicone Tea Infuser Strainer make a cute gift for the real tea lover. (if interested, read this post with more wonderful gift ideas for tea lovers)

Strawberry Wine

Like any other kind of wine, strawberry wine is a fermentation of the fruit juice; in this case, strawberry. The strawberry wine is a summer favorite. Very sweet and sugary. It pairs well with chocolate. You can buy strawberry wine from many specialty wineries, as well as make it yourself. The ingredients for strawberry wine are simple: hulled strawberries (using a straw or a strawberry huller), boiling water, lemon juice and sugar. Anyway, if you aren’t willing to go through the efforts, there are many places where you can buy it. Just make sure that the wine you are getting is made from 100 percent strawberries (no apple or grape juice additions).

• for the wine lover: Summer Strawberry Hand Crafted Fruit Wine Kit & Strawberry Wine Bottle Stopper

# 17 Strawberry Wanderlust

If you plan traveling, May 21-27 is Strawberry Week in Delaware. It’s celebrated annually.

Also, Belgium has a museum dedicated to strawberries. In the gift shop at Le Musée de la Fraise (The Strawberry Museum), you can buy everything strawberry (from jam to beer, all made of strawberries). It’s insane!

Pack your strawberry luggage and follow the wanderlust!

 # 18 Strawberry Feng Shui

In Feng Shui, the strawberry symbolizes passion, affection and good relationship. Probably because of its heart shape. It also strengthens the bond of relationships. Especially in the bedroom.

If you can’t grow your own strawberry house plants, then at least keep the symbol close to you. It may influence the Feng Shui in your home and boost your Yang.
