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!

It all looks delicious! I love the idea of the basket with the towels too. I would love to try the papaya and the pears since I’ve heard so many great things about them.
Kiwi is my absolute favorite! But I would love to send this to my Mom (whose 52 birthday is tomorrow!). She has been busy taking care of my Dad after he recently got out of a big kidney surgery and I think this would bring a smile to her face.
I’d like to try the baby bananas. I’ve had them before and wasn’t a fan… but maybe these will be better because they’re from Harry and David?
I’m gonna say the pear. I’ve never had a ::really:: good pear and you’ve inspired me to try one of theirs!
I would love the pears because I’ve never had a chance to try one from them!
Bananas are my favorite fruit and I eat them daily so I’d be most excited to try those!
I would love the avocado and pineapple. I’m obsessed with both right now! 🙂
Hi! I would loooove to try Mango from Harry and David 🙂 Thanks for the chance.
The pears I absolutely love them!! I would keep the basket for myself 😉 I’m a poor college student so fresh fruit is always at a premium here!
Omg I would love to eat every single piece of fruit in the basket. But of course, I would share with my fiance…maybe barter some for some other goodies for myself! 😉
I’d love to try the pineapple! Thanks for hosting the giveaway!
I’m most excited to try the papaya. I’ve had everything else before, including the mango, but I’ve never had a papaya before.
mango sounds so good right now! if i’ can’t be in the tropics, it’s close enough ; )
Pineapple!!
I’ve been using your smoothie recipes so any fresh fruit would make them that much better!
I would love to win this basket and give it to my friend’s grandma who has been very ill for some time.
The pears! Mmm, pears.
I’d be most excited about the pineapple! I haven’t had good fresh pineapple in over a year being from the midwest, and it never seems to taste as good. But I would love to share this with a bunch of my friends on campus. Since it is the middle of winter in Minnesota, the fresh fruit selection in the caf is pretty small.
I’ve always heard such great things about the pears so definitely those! But I’m also obsessed with kiwi and I love that this basked includes them 🙂
Oh my! That basket looks delicious! In Missouri, produce prices are crazy high because of all the crazy weather, so I’ve had to curb my choices to match my budget. It’s definitely cramping my foodie style! The pineapple looks divine!
I would be selfish and keep the gift basket for myself.. 😉 I would LOVE to try the Harry & David pears !!
I would be most excited to try the avocado, although I must say, it all looks pretty amazing! 🙂
The pineapple sounds divine!
HOLY PINEAPPLE!!!!!
Pears are one of my favorite fruits and I’d LOVE to try a Harry & David pear… but, I’d probably choose to send this to my boyfriend’s parents- they’re moving today and this would be a great gift to send their way!
The PEARS. I’ve heard so much about H&D pears, and I would love to try one!
Honestly I could demolish each piece of fruit as I love fruit. However, if I was so lucky to win I would give this to my sister. I miss her a lot. I’m in Maryland and she is back home in California. I really miss her.
I would love to try the mango. I have never had fresh mango!
I would love to try papaya, I’ve never had one before! It all looks delicious.
I would LOVE to try one of those pears!! YUMMM
I’d be most excited for the kiwis!! I haven’t had one in so long!!
While it all sounds delicious I am excited 1) for their pears because I have never tried one and 2) for the papaya. I’ve just started my weight loss/ clean eating journey and like to introduce new things into my diet.
Yum!!! I am excited about the pineapple. That looks delicious!
Let me just say that it is extremely hard for me to pick just one of the fruits in the basket that I would be excited to try, I would love them all! But I would say especially the avocado. My friends think its weird that I’ll cut up avocado and just eat it by itself, but they’re so yummy! Just put a little lemon, salt, and pepper and you’re good to go!
i’d be totally psyched to try their PEARS! yum!
What an amazing basket! I’d definitely be most excited for the avocado. I can’t get enough avocados, ever!
The papaya, of course!! My favorite which is always a treat!
Awesome giveaway! I would totally have this gift basket sent to my grandfather. At 83, he is a health nut and always passing his recipes for smoothies and healthy fruit treats to me! He just broke his hip unfortunately but something like this would perk him right up…especially those tropical fruit!
I would send this basket to a lady who is like a second mother to me….she has been amazingly supportive through a lot of very difficult times in my life. She is the type of lady who is always taking care of others while never expecting anything in return…you know the type. AMAZING!
I’ve never had Harry & David fruit but it always looks SO good. I would most love the mango and pineapple…a little bit of the tropics in February yay!
I would love to try the papaya and baby bananas! Everything looks delicious, but I’ve never had papaya! Yum!
I literally could not find a fruit that I was most excited about trying, they ALL looked amazing. But I haven’t had papaya in quite some time and would love to try it from this basket!
I would love to try the pears!
It’s really difficult to find good quality pears in the grocery store!
Thanks!
Vicky
The pears. I’ve so many good things about them.
Since you said it was so delicious I’d love to try the pineapple!
Definitely the pears and pineapple. It is so hard finding really good ones at the grocery store!
I would love to send the basket to my parents!! We all really enjoy fruit- and if they were to let me sample something 😉 I would be super excited to try the pears! (they’re my favorite type of fruit!)
The pears!!!! They are AMAZING 🙂 The last time I received a Harry & David gift basket, I hid the pears from my husband b/c they were too good to share!
I would love to try the papaya, I haven’t had a papaya in months!
I LOVE their pears, and I would really love to try their mango!
