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 love Harry and David’s pears. The basket looks amazing!
I would love to try the pears!
I love their pears but would would be excited to try something different, like the papaya or avocado!
It all looks awesome! The pears would be what i was looking forward to the most!
Pears!
The pears – since this is all I’ve read/heard about from this company!
The pineapple looks delicious!
I love fruit! I dont know if I can just pick one…but Ill say the pears sound great!
Pineapple, please!! It has been my main pregnancy craving.
The famous pears!!! Yum! The whole assortment looks amazing.
Papaya and avocado! Yum!
If I win this giveaway I will give the fruit basket to my parents as a thank you for taking me on vacation to Saint Lucia where we had the most amazing fruit!
Papaya! I actually think I have only had frozen ones before so trying a fresh one would be awesome 🙂
The pineapple and avacado! I would totally make fresh guacamole and some pineapple salsa with them! YUM!
Pineapple is my favorite!! I could eat it everyday.
The kiwis. I had to move back in with my parents, so I would love to have it to share with them!
I’m intrigued by the baby bananas!
I want to try an avocado – a fruit AND a “culinary vegetable”!
i love harry and david pears they always seem so much better than the ones from the supermarket.
I’d be most excited to try the pears!
Pears! I am really in the mood to make a spinach salad with pears, roasted pine nuts and goat cheese. All look amazing though YUM!!!!!!!!!!!
Normally I would say mango, but you can’t beat Harry & David pears!
The pears for sure! I love them, but rarely think to buy them!
The pears look delish! I’ve been trying to incorperate more fruits and veggies in my daily diet so this would be perfect! ((fingers crossed))
hmm.. never had a papaya!
That pineapple looks picture perfect. I am drooling looking at it.
Mango & Kiwi – They are my favoritessss! My grocery store never has good quality produce in the winter. This would be heaven for me 🙂
Hands down, the PEARS!!! I’ve heard nothing but greatness about those babies, and I would love to try them out for myself.
I’ve had the luxury of trying H&D (Royal Riviera Pears), but I would be most excited to try the pineapple from this basket. Yummmmm!
MANGO!
I would love to try the mango!! I went to panama over the summer, and they had the most delicious, fresh ones right off the trees! I haven’t been able to find any that good in the states unfortunately.
I’d love to try a pineapple in that basket!
The pears!! They look delicious!!
The pears!!
Papaya – I’ve never tasted one before!
i LOVE harry and david!!! have only had their pears but the mangos and kiwis and pineapple would be the most exciting!!!!
I have been reading your blog for almost a year now and I love it so much!! I would love to be able to give this basket to my parents for their 26th wedding anniversary! I’m in college and broke like no joke! Their anniversary is on the 14th..yes..Valentines Day<3 They are THAT couple! I love them very much and I am blessed to have them and I think that this gift would be perfect for them!
Thanks Julie,

I would LOVE to have the avocados and limes to make a guacamole! This might also be a great gift to send to my mom for an early valentines day gift…tough decisions!
I have always adored these succulent sweets. Would love to win!
I would love the mango, papaya and kiwi!
I would love this fruit basket! Harry and David provides the best fruit! All of it looks amazing, but I think I would be most excited to try their mangoes. I’m in medical school in Erie, PA and the mangoes at the grocery store here are never good… and mangoes are the best fruit!
I would love to try to the mango, i’ve had their pears before so I can’t even begin to imagine how amazing their mangoes must be!
Definitely the pears!!
I’m a mango junkie!
I’ve been DYING to try one of the pears!
I would be excited about all of the fruit but I think the most excited about the mango. I never know how to choose ones that are good/ripe and I know I’d get top quality from H&D! P.s. So glad Sadie is doing great post-surgery…she’s such a cutie with those expressions.
I love bananas, but have never tried baby bananas..sounds wonderful! 🙂
I hear so much about the pears that I am dying to try out what the hype is all about!
I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to have some of that yummy looking pineapple!!!
Those Kiwis look huge!!!! I love kiwis and I even eat the skin (tastes a lot like apple to me). I would also enjoy the pineapple and the pears. I can almost taste them!!!
