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!

Definitely the mango they are my favorite!
Definitely a pear but also the mango!
I love love love Harry and David fruit baskets. I think I would send it to my parents though, because they’re the ones that introduced me to Harry and David in the first place, and they would be so surprised and delighted. Great giveaway, Julie!!
I am an “apple a day” girl all the way, but those kiwi are calling my name- YUM! Great giveaway, thanks for hosting!
If I were to send a basket to someone it’d be my Uncle/Godfather, as it is his birthday next week!
There is something about fresh mango… happiness.
The pears! I miss them in my diet
I’ve never been a pear eater… in fact I don’t think I have eaten once since those little Dole fruit cups stopped appearing in my lunch bag. So, I would love to give one of these delicious, fresh pairs a try!
I would be the most excited to try the avocado, because I put it on everything! My favorite thing is a whole wheat tortilla with avocado and crab meat. So Good!!
Gosh that’s such a hard choice! I LOVE pineapple and mango, but I think the one I would most want to try is the baby bananas. I went to Brazil twice in high school on a mission trip and they had those everywhere, and they were so delicious!!
I would like to try the pineapple. I love the stuff but never buy them in the store.
I would love to try the pears:)
I would love all these fruits, but particularly the pineapple and pears! Sounds like a tropical delight. Would be wonderful right now as we are enjoying 0 degrees this morning!
Oh my gosh! I would LOVE to have some of that epic fruit. I really have always wanted to try their pears, so good! 🙂
I would love to try those pears!
I would be so excited to try their pears! I have heard they are phenomenal, even on this very blog, so I really want to try them!
Definitely the pears!! But it all looks amazing!!!
definitely the papaya! I’ve never had fresh papaya and know Harry & David’s has to be awesomely good!
Pineapple! I love fresh pineapple and since you took such nice pictures, it looks delicious!!
everything and anything! i have a hard time finding good produce where i am so this basket would be a delight!
I would be thrilled to try every single one of these fruits! But likely the first thing to try would be a famous Harry and David pear.
I would love to try the pineapple and pears.. I’ve heard such great things about them!
I’d send it to my mom – she has 7 kids (ages 10-35, and half of us are adopted!) She deserves a kick butt basket for her awesome self!
I LOVE PINEAPPLE!!! And I love Harry & David. I grew up in Oregon and live in Chicago now. I’d love this basket to share with all my co-workers!!
I was thinking the pears until I saw that picture of the pineapple. It looks amazing!
I would LOVE to try the Pineapple…YUM!! Great Giveaway, Julie! 🙂
Mangoes!
Yummy pineapple!
My daughter loves the pears and freaked out when she saw you were giving them away! Personally, I would love to try some mango, I have a recipe that I’ve been dying to try that calls for it. Harry and David rocks!
I LOVE their pears but I’ve never had a “baby banana” so it’s a toss-up this time. Harry & David baskets are the best though – yum!
I’m officially a fruit fiend! I’d love to get it and crunch into those lovely pears!
I think Im most excited about the mango, but I would probably give basket to my mom as a little surprise.
Pineapple!!
I would send it to my best friend who just had a baby in Boston!
The pears, the ones from Harry & David are the best!
I would love to try baby bananas! They sound so adorable!!
Mango and Pears! Yum!!! All the fruit sounds delish though! 🙂
Pineapple and mango! Especially in the cold winters here in PA I love fresh high quality fruit to remind me of summer!!
PINEAPPLE PINEAPPLE PINEAPPLE! I love pineapples so much, my kitchen is decorated with them! I can’t imagine how yummy one of these pineapples would be—I’d love to try one!
THE PEARS!!! 😀 Although I am sure all of it is absolutely delicious!
i’d be most excited to try the papaya or mango, i love tropical fruit!
Oooooh, I would love to try the pineapple! I always buy the ones that are already
cut up and in a cup. It would be neat to try and cut my own up. The apples look
delicious too.
I would love to try a golden pear!! Your post has made me crave fruit all morning! It’s a great snack, and a great way to stay healthy!
I would like to be giving and say I’d give it to someone else, but I can’t lie, I would love to sample ALL of this stuff! I love all of these fruits but I have yet to try their many fabled pears, so that would be the most exciting for me.
I would love to try the pears, I have heard nothing but great things about them! The mango doesn’t sound to shabby either!
Mango and pears! I’d split the basket with my sister in law. we both love fruit, but different kinds, so this would be perfect
I would love to give a pear and a pineapple a try! They look like fake fruit made of wax they are so perfect!
My grandma used to send us a box of their pears every Christmas. I LOVE them. Wonderful fruit, and sweet memories.
I adore pineapple! BUT those baby bananas look too cute!
Since I’ve never sampled their pears before, that is what I would be most excited to try. I’ve heard great things!
I would love to send the basket to my mother. She works so hard and would be so excited to receive a sweet surprise. She is the best!
