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 would LOVE to try the pineapples. I would bring the basket in to the office to share with my coworkers- we all try and eat really healthy snacks at work.
Papaya!
I got some pears as a corporate gift last year, I would love to have some more to share with my family.
Mango!
Pineapple!
Papaya! and the pineapple!
I think I would be most excited for the mango and pineapple!!!
My mama and I are such health nuts and I miss her so. I am living in England for a few months and would love to surprise her with this at her doorstep as an “I love & miss you, aren’t you glad I introduced you to PB Fingers” gift 😉
Pears pears pears! 🙂
Pears! The whole basket sounds great but H&D pears are simply the BEST
This would be such a great surprise to get during this horribly cold winter that we are having!
I’m most excited to try the pears. Everyone always raves about them and I’ve never tried them before!
I have never tried papaya before and I would love to!
I’d send it to my mother-in-law it is 13 where she is and fresh fruit is hard to come by!
I love pears and have always wanted to try a Harry and David pear. I hear they are amazing.
The pineapple looks so scrumptious!
Pears are calling my name! 🙂
Their pears are just the absolute best!
I would love to try the mango and pineapple! Yum
Definitely the pineapple! 🙂
PINEAPPLE! My favorite fruit! 🙂
I’d send it to my dad, who is awaiting surgery to remove a tumor in his pancreas. He’s going to have to eat very healthy from now on and the fruit basket would be a great start!
The pears, I’ve never had one!
Yay, that sounds like an absolutely wonderful giveaway! Gorgeous fruit baskets! I haven’t had pineapple in so long and after looking at your pictures that is definitely the one I would be most excited about. 🙂
I would love to please send this to my mom!! Being away from her at college I always worry that she is lonely at home, so I feel like this would be the perfect treat to bring a smile to her face!
I love all the fruits! 😉 Wonderful Blog, Julie!
Mango!
I used to live in Ashland, Oregon, with a roommate who worked for Jackson and Perkins & Harry and David. She always brought home the BEST fruit (and treats)! That roommate is currently up in northern Oregon, where she just found out that her toddler is battling stage 4 neuroblastoma. There is very little I can do to help, other than remain positive and pray hard for strength and healing. Perhaps a basket of fresh fruit would brighten her day, even if for a moment, and provide some nutritional benefits to help keep up her physical strength while staying in the hospital with her son.
Yum! I’d love to try the pineapple and mango!
All the “P’s”!!! Pineapple, papaya and pears:)
I would love to try the papaya. I’m not sure I’ve ever had the actual fruit, but the juice is amazing!
I want to try the pear so I can see what all the fuss is about!
As much as I would love to keep that mouth watering basket of heaven to myself, I think I would totally send it to my Dad! The man can cook anything, but he especially excels in guacamole and this amazing mango salsa! He also grills pineapple and adds them to burgers! This would be way more than just a bowl of fruit to him! I would definitely steal those apples from him though! 🙂
The pears!
I’d have to go with the golden pear – I’ve never had a Harry & David pear but I feel like I need to experience it 🙂
Still want to get my hands on one of those pears!!
I love Harry & David pears!
I think I’d actually send this to my grandfather’s girlfriend. After my gram died she came into the picture and has taken care of him every day since. She’s always looking after him, making sure they go on walks and eat healthy. Unfortunately we just found out this week that she has lung cancer (it’s not fair , she’s never smoked! 🙁 ) so I’d love to send her a basket of healthy delicious fruit!
Pears!
I would love to try the avocado (I had one at lunch today with a little bit of salt- delicious little green creatures!). I also love bananas, and apples… And all fruit!
I am currently 24 weeks pregnant and am craving ALL kinds of friut! Our grocery store has been lacking and the only decent fruit I can get are oranges (which I love). I would love to have all the variety in this basket…especially the pears and kiwi!
I’m excited to try the mango!!!
Fresh pineapple is one of my favorite things to eat, period!!! So sweet and juicy…..I call it Nature’s candy!!
I would love to win this basket in order to try a fresh, ripe mango! I am currently a student at Penn State University in State College which means cold weather and NO fresh fruit:( I don’t eat processed foods and like to keep it natural so I am craving just a good piece of FRUIT. Please pick me:)

I’d send it to my mom who is taking care of my grandfather who is passing away.
Mangos !! I love them
I want to try the pears! I’ve never tried one of theirs, and from what you say, they sound mighty delicious!
