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!

I’m excited for the avocados! I recently moved from Florida to Ohio, and the avocados have not been the same!
Papaya!
I’d love the pineapple!
Oh my, all that delicious fruit!!! It is hard to pick what I would be most excited to have but I think I will have to stick with the apples. I have one everyday @ lunch…. they pretty much complete me 🙂
I keep hearing how great the pears are and have yet to try them. And that basket is perfect!
I love pears, and Harry and David’s are always great, but I think I’m most excited about the pineapple!
I would love to try the pearS! My favorite fruit!
That pineapple looks absolutely mouth watering!! The pears are looking pretty good too though, as does the rest of the assortment!
The pineapple looks beautiful, so I’ll go with that! Everything looks great though 🙂 love fruit!!
Hi Julie!
If I won this fruit basket I would be most excited to try the pears (obsessed lately), pineapple, and avocado. Yum! I love fruit baskets.
Ps it’s my birthday today! 😉
I’d love to try those pears you always talk about! 🙂
I’d want the pears and mangoes! Mango is always expensive at our local store, and the quality isn’t amazing, so enjoying a higher-quality mango would be wonderful!
This basket looks amazing!!! I would love to try the Harry & David pears everyone raves about.
I’d be most excited to try the pears! I’ve heard so many amazing things about them and have yet to try it! 🙂
I would love to win the gift basket because I’ve been making a lot of protein smoothies lately and I love experimenting with different types of fruit! The pears are the one fruit I’d LOVE to try thouugh since you rave about them!!
Everyone says the pears are awesome, so I’m going with the pears.
Mmm this dreary winter in NY calls for some tropical fruit! I NEED that pineapple!! Yum!
I am most excited about the avocado! I could put that on everything I eat.
The papaya! I went to the Dominican Republic this past summer and every morning papaya was a part of my breakfast! Can’t wait to make that happen again!
That is a beautiful basket! I would love to try the papaya, as I have never tried one before! The other fruits are all my favorites, though!
I would love to send this basket to my parents as a surprise! They love healthy eating (and fruit definitely falls under that category) but they’re so busy they rarely have time to do the shopping that healthy eating demands. They would love just having high quality fruit ready to eat 🙂
I have been looking forward to this giveaway for days now :). I love fruit and probably eat WAY more each day than I “should.”
I am most excited to try the avocado and the pineapple. Those are two of my favorite foods, and I am sure they are absolutely delicious coming from Harry & David!
P.s. I LOVE your towels and the fact that you used the basket as a towel holder. It looks so good.
The Mangoes! Since moving to Florida I’ve fallen in LOVE with that fruit and I bet Harry and David’s mangoes are even better than the ones I normally pick up at Publix.
Mmmmm….all of it sounds great, but I am most excited about the papaya!
They all look so delicious, but I am a pineapple lover through and through so for sure the pineapple!! Any time I have a sweet tooth a few pieces of pineapple is my go to healthy fixing!!!
Those baby bananas are too cute!
I would be most excited to try the pears because you rave about them. I buy pears occasionally, but never seem to really like them.
The pears! Harry and David’s are divine.
The pears! We have so many apples where I’m from that I’ve never given pears much of a chance, the ones in that basket look too good not to try!
I looove pineapple!
H&D pears are insanely delicious! They’re pretty much the only pears I will eat.
The pears & the apples!!
I would be most excited to try the papaya because I’ve never had one before, and I’m trying to eat healthier!
Oh man I haven’t had good papaya in ages. Then again that’s what I get for living in MN. -30 with wind-chill this AM baby!
I want the baby bananas they are precious!!! 🙂
During the holidays, I look forward to the box of H & D pears my relatives send more than the see’s candies 🙂 After reading your post though, I’d be excited to try it all!
Yum! I am most excited about the pears for sure! My mouth is watering! 🙂
I would love to win and would be most excited about trying the pears and pineapple! I love a good pineapple!!!
I’d love to try the fresh mango! Yum!
The Papaya looks amazing! I love papaya, but it is hard to find really good ones in the midwest, they just do not taste the same when I have gotten them in the southern regions!
My aunt and uncle used to send my family a Harry and David treat tower around the holidays and I was obsessed with the pears and apples! They passed away, but I’m thinking I should bring back the tradition and send one to my parents!
Looks Delicious! I would be most excited to try the tropical fruits (especially pineapple and mango). My family and I LOVE fresh fruit and I would really enjoy the chance to get to try a GOOD, fresh mango, as I have never had one that’s quite up to par. Thanks for inspiring us, Julie!
oh YUM. Despite my DEEP love for a mango smoothie I would love to send this to my sister-in-law…she’s expecting her first bebe and I haven’t seen her in almost a year!
Would love to try the pineapple! Looks delicious!
Pineapple and pears! Yum.
I’d be most excited for the mango and the pineapple! Although I bought my parents a gift basket of the pears for Christmas and they were incredible..so of course I’d be happy to have more of those too 🙂
Ever since I discovered the dark chocolate avocado mousse recipe on your blog I can’t get enough of avocados! I would love to make a Harry & David dark chocolate avocado mousse!
I would love to try their pears. They look wonderful!
Pears! I have heard from other as well as your blog how amazing the H&D pears are. I’m starting the Whole30 on Sunday and there would be great to have!
I’ve been wanting to try the pears for years!
