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!

After seeing your picture of the freshly cut pineapple, my mouth began to water! If I got the basket I’d love to try the pineapple!
That looks amazing. I have a thing for pineapple but usually do without in the winter months. If I won the basket I would go straight for the tropical tastes!!
I would love to try kiwis, ive never eat them before, once i saw them on blue’s clues and felt really interested on them, plus my chemistry teacher lastname is Kiwi and i love him haha.
I would love to have their amazing pears!
I absolutely LOVE Harry and David. I’ve had their pears before but I’d love to try their other fruits. I would love a basket of Harry and David’s fresh fruit to share with my roommates and encourage them to eat healthily with me!

I think baby banana – are they different from regular bananas? Of course, mangoes are my favorite fruit of those listed.
I love pineapple but i’d love to try the pears!
Amazing giveaway!!! If only I lived in the US! I’m a pear aholic at the moment, can’t get enough of them! Love red blush and conference pears!
As much as I would love to try the pears, I think I would rather send it to my mom to brighten her day.
That basket looks awesome! I mean, the fruit would be wonderful too, but that is a really snazy looking basket as well 🙂 But, I would be most excited about the kiwi!! Yum!
I would definitely make some kind of delicious fruity salsa with the papaya, mango, pineapple, and avocado! All those sound exciting!
I would like to try one of their pears and find out what I’ve been missing!
Those apples look amazing! Although the baby bananas are too cute to pass up…
I’ve never heard of those pears but I’m excited to try them!
I just learned of baby bananas over the holidays…my mom loves them but I find them kind of silly. I would love to try their famous pears! But it all looks really delicious 🙂
I’ve never have tried fresh paypaya, only dried and its quite yummy so that would be my most looking forward too.
I absolutely love their pears, but I would also like to try their mangoes!
I would love to have a one of their pears, they are sooooo good!
That fruit looks so good, Julie! I’m excited to try all of them! I love pineapples, mangoes, and avocados! But I don’t think I’ve ever had a baby banana before..,
Papaya!!!
I am so excited about the baby bananas. They probably taste just like regular bananas – but how cute would it be to see a toddler walking around with a baby banana! Gah!
The pineapple and the mango for sure! I spent a couple months in Thailand where locals sell fresh mangos and pineapples right on the street, EVERYWHERE! I miss it!!
I would absolutely send this basket to my mom. I’m in the middle of applying to medical school and have not been easy to live with (lot of disappointment is inevitably involved) so a fruit basket from this famous group would be an awesome way show her my undying love and gratitude!
Geez that pineapple looks so delicious!
Those baby bananas are so cute, i’d love to try them! (:
I would love to try the pears–I have sent Harry and David baskets as gifts in the past, but never tried their fruit myself!
I would love the pineapple! Living in CO, its hard to find fresh, ripe pineapple 🙂
I am so excited about the papaya! I LOVE papaya but rarely see it in the grocery store.
I would LOVE to have this sent to my sweet Mom. I’m studying abroad in Italy and I’d love to be able to send her something to let her know I’m thinking of her
So funny–I was just thinking that I would like to try a REALLY GOOD avocado sometime. Like, the perfect avocado. I’ve never really been a fan but I’m trying to get into them and I ate one the other night that was kind of questionable and I just want to try a good avocado so that I have a good memory of them and know how they should taste!
Pineapple is my all time favorite food but I am craving pears lately and those look wonderful! I might even share. Maybe.
A friend sent me one of these baskets after I had my baby, and it was awesome to have delicious fruit to grab for a snack in between the busyness of having a newborn. I am a fan of the pears but all of the fruit was amazing!
i would love to try the avocado! i can never properly pick out avocados but i’m sure theirs would be excellent!!
Would love to try the mangos… and pears!
I have only ever had their pears which I adore, but I’m a sucker for good pineapple!! I love the sweet pineapple that doesn’t hurt your tongue so I would love to try theirs. If I were to win I would want the gift basket sent to my friend Andrew who just got a new job in a new city and want him to know we all miss him and think about him often!
Kiwi! I never buy them at the store but they are so delicious!
Mmmm I’d love to try all of those tropical fruits you just mentioned! I’ve been eating so much pineapple lately and would love theirs, and the kiwi is making me really curious.
Clearly the famous Harry and David pears!
I want to try the kiwi! Looks delicious!
Papaya! I lived in South East Asia for a year and had papayas almost every morning. Now back in New Jersey I never think of picking up the fruit at a supermarket. This basket will definitely remind me of how much I loved them. 🙂
Their pears! for sure!
I would be most interested in the fresh pineapple. As a college student in (snowy) Buffalo, it would be a nice sweet treat to help get through the cold winter!
The mango and papaya! I love them both and they’re not always the best quality at grocery stores
Pineapple!!
I’d love to try the papaya!!
Every time I see these pears on your blog my mouth waters. So I def. want to try the pears!
I have had papaya before and loved it but have never been brave enough to buy and cut one myself. I think the fear of not knowing if it was ripe kept me away so I’d love this!
Really trying to make a healthy lifestyle change, so switching to fruit as snacks instead of my usual sugary treats is a must. That being said I would really love to try the PEARS!
I LOVE all fruit but I would especially like to try those famous pears you rave about!
i’ve never had the privilege of trying a famous harry & david pear, so you know that’s what i’m most excited about!
