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 basket looks super beautiful…given the praise you have been doing about H&D pears for the past 2 days…u literally made me to crave for pear fruits and u don’t believe i ended up buying a pear fruit in my office cafe :-)….
of course i would love to try all the fruits in the basket though 🙂
I love Harry & David soooo much! The pineapple looks delicious.
My kids are obsessed with pineapple and mangos. I would probably have a basket sent to my husbands aunt. She deserves a nice gift unexpectedly 🙂
I’ve gotta try those pineapples and pears!!
The way you described the pineapple makes me want the pineapple!
I would love to try the mango. Yum!
Mango! My favorite fruit!
I was just looking at the Harry and David website yesterday for a birthday gift to send my Mom. This would be perfect!
Oh, man. I would be so excited to eat some of those pears!!
hmmm i want to try the papaya because i feel like i never buy that at the store normally!
Yum! I’d love to try the Mango – It’s my favorite!
It all looks sooo good! I’d have to say that I’m looking forward to the mango though.
Even though all of your pear talk has got me craving pears like crazy. 🙂
I love fresh pineapple!!
I would demolish that mango! I grew up eating it in the Philippines and is my most favorite fruit!
Yum! ALL of that fruit looks amazing. I have a ton of food allergies and so produce makes up a ton of what I eat:) But, I think the bananas would be my favorite…I’ve made up the craziest food combos with bananas…I love them!
The pineapple looks amazing!
I’ve never tried papaya or mango so that would be fun to try. I also love avocado’s. Yum! Sounds delish.
I would be excited to finally try the pears that everyone is always raving about! I love fresh pineapple so that would be a very close second. 🙂
All the fruit looks sooo good! The pineapple especially 🙂
I don’t think I’ve ever eaten papaya. I’d love to try it!
I have been dying to eat mango on its own as opposed to in a salsa or such!
The pineapple looks to good and delicious! but after reading so much about the pears, those are making me curious as well
Baby bananas hands down! Love the real version so much,but often eat only 1/2 at a time. Sounds like a time-saver if you ask me!
I have never tried a mango before! Crazy, right? But I’m a huge fruit fanatic so I’d be thrilled to get any of it!
I would like to try the pears. I have heard so much about how tasty they are!
I love an avocado! But mangos are great too. I buy Harry and David as gifts all the time but have never had any for myself….
I want this basket so badly! I’m participating in a weight loss challenge at work, so this would be the perfect thing to get me through snack cravings! I am especially excited to try the pears. I have heard so much about them!
With all the talk about the wonderful pears I would absolutely love to try one!
I’d love to try the papaya, because I am pretty sure I’ve never had one of those before! I would share it with my boyfriend too as he’s never tried one either 🙂
That fruit basket looks delish though. I might have to go buy a pineapple now.
I would LOVE to try everything, especially the pineapple!! Fresh tropical fruit is one of my absolute favorite foods-it would be awesome to try this basket! 🙂
Pears!!! I’ve heard so much about them!
I am pregnant and LOVING pineapple. Although, those pears look amazing too 🙂
I’m most excited about the mango – it’s my absoulte favorite!! Thanks, Julie!
those pears look incredible. i remember my dad getting a harry & david gift basket a few years back when i was still at home and i definitely loved everything in there!
I would be most excited about the papaya. I just read about an awesome “salad” of cut up papaya and avocado that sounds absolutely amazing! 🙂
My boyfriend has been working 20 hour workdays for a deal closing and I would love to send him a healthy and delicious basket to brighten his day!
I’d like to try the baby bananas just because they are so darn cute!
I would love to send this basket to my parents. They’re big fruit eaters and would love to get some fresh fruit. My dad is obsessed with oranges,and my mom is an apple eater!
Definitely the pear, just looking at the picture is making me want one!
Papaya! I think I’ve only had it twice in my life, but i love it!
My family loves Harry and David fruit! Especially the pears. I would have to say I would have it sent to my husband at work. He works very hard to provide for his family. He would enjoy a special gift such as this and those awesome pears. Would love putting a smile on his face while dealing with the stresses of work. ( and maybe he would share some of that wonderful fruit with me):)
Yum!! I especially love papaya and it’s hard to come by!
i have been loving pears lately. on a serious pear kick!
I would love to try their pears. I’ve never had the opportunity to try any Harry and David fruits so I might as well start with what they are most famous for.
I would gladly accept and eat all the fruit in this basket, but I’ve never had a H&D pear!! (insert gasp here) – I sure would LOVE to try one! Glad Sadie is feeling much better, too 🙂
I would love to try a papaya…I have never had one before. They are not easy to find in Syracuse, NY! The basket looks beautiful 🙂
The pears! I have never had Harry and David fruit before. I wanted to order myself a basket for Christmas, but I didn’t. I think I could live off fruit if the good stuff wasn’t so expensive.
I would send it to my boyfriend since we are doing the long distance thing right now and it would be nice to surprise him.
I will love everything but I would especially love to try the pears of course!!!!
I’m most excited about the pears, and I would give this gift basket to my mom 🙂 She deserves it!
