Happy Friday! How about a giveaway to kick off your Friday morning?
If you adore high-quality fruit, today’s giveaway will be right up your alley.
Back in October I had the honor of touring the incredible Harry & David orchards in Medford, Oregon with a handful of other bloggers. It was a truly unforgettable trip and I fell in love with the company, their delicious food and beautiful Oregon!
I’ve stayed in touch with the folks at Harry & David and was awfully excited when one of their incredible gift baskets showed up at my doorstep last Saturday.
The basket was the company’s Fresh Fruit Basket Deluxe and I immediately pulled all of the different kinds of delicious fresh fruit out of the basket to check out the goods!
As of this morning, Ryan and I have made our way through 90 percent of the basket and were, once again, impressed with the high quality of the fruit Harry & David delivered. Every single piece of fruit was blemish-free and full of flavor.
Naturally the company’s pears deserve a lot of praise, but I was particularly impressed with the quality of the mango, kiwi and pineapple in this basket!
I swear this stuff is like fruit candy. So sweet!
As for the gift basket itself, you better believe I kept it. We’re now using it as a pretty way to store towels.
And now here’s your chance to win your own Harry & David Fresh Fruit Basket Deluxe!
In the basket:
- 3 Royal Riviera Pears
- 4 Apples
- 2 Kiwi
- Papaya
- Pineapple
- Baby Bananas
- 2 Limes
- Avocado
- Mango
To enter this giveaway, please leave a comment below, telling me what fruit you’re most excited to try in the basket, or, if you’d like to send the basket to someone else as a surprise, please comment telling me who you’d send it to and why. I will randomly select a winner on Monday morning.
Good luck!

the pineapple! for some reason i never buy it for myself at the store, so it would be a super treat 🙂
I love Harry and David! And I looooooove their pears! I’m most excited to try the papaya – I can never find this fresh at the grocery store!
The pears because it is hard to find good ones in the grocery store.
Pineapple, mango, bananas, avacado, kiwi! Yumm Love it all. The pears and apples would be for my husband, since I really want to like them but don’t!
I’ve never gotten to try anything from Harry & David, so I would love to sample the pears!
I love love love fresh pineapple!! Yummy!
I would be most excited about the pears, of course!
I’d love to try the mango! Ahh I love me some mangos!
I would love to send this basket to my step-mom who is recovering from bilateral knee replacements.
Papaya! I don’t think I have ever had one! Yum!!
I LOVE apples and am most excited about them!
I’d love the try ti pears and mango! Yummm!!
the* pairs and mango, so excited I couldn’t type 😉
Papaya! Such a treat because it’s not too commonly eaten and papaya is such a fun word to say 🙂 It would be cool to try using the papaya in some new recipes!
YUM. I would be most excited to try the pineapple. When we lived in Hong Kong our helper would cut up a whole pineapple basically every day, and I would come home from school and just eat the entire thing. Not even a joke. That’s how much I love pineapple!
Everything in the basket sounds delicious, but I am a sucker for creamy avocados! YUM!
I’ve never had fresh papaya before! I can’t wait to try that!
I love a good mango, bur that pineapple looks so incredible! And summery, which is especially good when the current temperature is 0. Yes, ZERO. Plus, I LOVE the basket, so I’d def keep it. (maybe make some sangria, so that’s kind of sharing 😉
I would send it to my girls, they are 3&5 so it really would be coming to me, well our whole family. But they LOVE all those fruits and to see the look on their faces when the “package truck” delivered it for them would be amazing!
Pineapple! I’m curious if tastes like one in Hawaii, that taste so different from how they taste in Oregon.
I’m dying to try the papaya. I’m sick of boring midwest winter fruit!
I have never tried anything from Harry & David but would love to try out their pears. You have given them rave reviews. Love me some fruit. mmm mmm
Mango, avocado and the Pears! I love Harry & David!
We inhaled a box of H&D pears over the holidays, and I would love to taste just one (or three) more! Thanks for the generous giveaway.
Pinapple and mango for sure; here in Wisconsin winter fruit generally isn’t the greatest!
Love love love Harry and David pears! I wish I could say I would give it to someone else but that baby would be all mine!
The pears!! I would send a basket to my sister in law in CT. They just found out they are having another baby 🙂
Pineapple is my favorite fruit! That is what I would try first!
I’ve never tried papaya, so theirs is probably the way to go for a first taste! It all looks so yummy though!
The pineapples look amazing! I’ll take some tropical fruit please : )
Pineapple, and the notorious pears! I love Harry and David. I received a very lovely giftbasket at the holidays and I must say that they make some fabulous little almond cookies and chocolate truffles.
I would love to try the pineapple! Looks so good !
The pineapple and mango for sure but the baby bananas are adorable!!
The pears because you have been raving about Harry & David’s pears recently. I would love to share these fruits with my friends at college to help encourage healthy living and eating well!
i absolutely love mango so that is the fruit i am most looking forward to if i win this prize!
I would love to send this fruit basket to my boyfriend’s mom. She is always coming up with great ways to incorporate fruit into everyone’s diets and I think she would really appreciate all the unique fruits this basket offers. I wouldn’t mind the kiwi either 🙂
Let’s be honest, my true love in life is fruit. When I see a fruit basket, move over boyfriend, I’m taking the fruit! With that said, I guess I’ll be nice and share it with him if I win. It will be tough but sacrifices must be made in the name of love 🙂
I’d definitely want to try to papaya because I’m not too familiar with it.. All the other fruit would be icing on a delicious fruit “cake.”
I want to try the pineapple!!!!
I still have never tried a Harry & David pear, and from what I hear, I need to!
Fun giveaway! I’ve never tried papaya so I’d be most excited to try that!
I don’t think I have ever had a papaya so that would be the one I’d try first!!
I have been DYING to try Harry & David pears!!! I know that might sound cliche, but I absolutely love pairs and am so picky about the quality/texture/taste. I actually sent a Harry & David basket to my grandparents in November, and they told me they finished ALL the pears within the first day of receiving it!
The pears. I’ve always heard that Harry & David pears are amazing.
I would love to try the papaya. I’ve never had one at home! Although, I’ve been dying to try their pears too because everyone raves about them!
I would love to try the pineapple! I have had the pears and they are amazing!
I would love to try the pears! I have never had one and your descriptions on the blog make them sound heavenly!
I live in Minnesota so all that wonderful fruit just isn’t the same right now. I would be very excited to try all of it. Especially the mango pears and pineapple. I really miss seeing those in abundance at the grocery store.
H&D rules!! I’ve had the pleasure of having one basket many years ago, and you’re right, it is always so fresh! I don’t know how they do it! I’d say I’d like the pineapple best, it is definitely like fruit candy and I love it! I will make some pina colada protein smoothies out of it! 🙂
I need this. I love H&D pears and have been CRAVING one.
The pears!
The pineapple!!!
