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!

What a great giveaway! I’d love it send it as a gift to my parents for their 35th Anniversary! Of course, I’ve already set up little plans for them they don’t know about but this would be icing on the cake to my adorable loving health nuts! 😉
I’d love the papaya!!
I am a huge fan of the kiwi and pears……so YUMMY…..and would love to win the basket!
Tough question! Bananas, mango , pears! All of it!
Pineapple is my ultimate favorite and judging by the picture of yours, it looks delicious!
The pineapple and mangos
Definitely the pineapple – we can’t really get the freshest quality in the Midwest in the winter. And the pears, just based on popularity – I’ve never had one!
You know, I don’t think I’ve had a Harry & David pear yet. I can’t seem to pull myself away from the Moose Munch!
I love this giveaway! It’s a toss up between the mango & papaya…love them both!
OOOOHHH! THAT PINEAPPLE LOOKS DELICIOUS! I WOULD LOVE TO TRY IT!!! 🙂
The avocado..I’d mash it up with some lemon juice and garlic salt! MMMMMM
Those darn pears everyone keeps talking about! (Also mango, because its my favorite.)
Royal Riviera Pears – I’ve seen them before in the store and they always look so amazing! But I don’t know if they are worth the cost of getting them…would Love to try them!
MaNgOs and AvOcAdOs! I used to live in Nicaragua and we had mango and avocado trees in our yard. Fresh fruit all the time…I miss that! Ever since, these have been some if my favorite fruit 🙂
It is my grandpas 80th birthday coming up and he lives on the coast and they don’t get fresh fruit very often at all so I’d love to include this into his birthday package (:
I’d love to try this!!! Hubbers loooooves pears too :):):)
I’d love to send the basket to my best friend Kirsten Lobetta. Twelve years ago Kirsten moved from England to Los Angeles, I try to see her as much as possible but the distance makes things difficult. I’d like to send the basket to her to say thank you for being the greatest friend anyone could ask for and remind her that I still think about her all the time !
I want to try the pineapple! I would like to taste how sweet it is!
I’d give anything for that delicious looking pineapple!!
I would love to try the pears!!! I love Harry and David!
I would love to see how those exotic fruits taste! Living in south Texas allows constant access of fresh mango, pineapple, lemons, oranges, and grapefruit. I haven’t had one of their pears in YEARS! Oh and I’m sure my basket would hold yet another stash of yarn…just like the last one!
Blessings!
Id love to try the pears!!!
I would love to try this! I have never actually had a fresh pineapple or mango before so winning this would be amazing.
I plan on gifting randomly this year and I stated on my facebook that the frist five responders would get a gift. So I would pass this along to one of them 😀
I have recently fallen in love with mangoes!
I’d love to try their kiwi and pineapple. Definitely would keep it – my bday is next Friday…though I’d still share 🙂
This looks amazing! My mouth is watering just looking and thinking about all the awesomeness in that basket! YUM! I’d LOVE to try the Pineapple. Living in Colorado we don’t get much fresh Pineapple so that would be awesome!
Mmmm I’d love the pears!
I love their pears but the way you’re talking about the pineapple makes me want to try that!
The thought of eating a fresh mango in the midst of this Upstate NY winter is heavenly….maybe eating something tropical would warm me up abit!! BRRR!!
I think I’d be most excited about the pineapple myself, but it all looks delish. I’m really craving GOOD fruit right now!
I’d love to try the papaya!
everything looks delish! i’d love to try the pears! 🙂
love love this giveaway.. as I wouldn’t mind eating some mangos during the cold winter in Chicago, I would love.to send this to my sister for her birthday…:-)
Those baby bananas look delish! 🙂
I would send it to my husband as a “thank you” for taking care of me through all my cancer treatments and reconstruction surgeries while also caring for our two year old son (who loves pineapple). He is the best father and husband I know and he would just love all this fresh fruit for his daily green smoothies!
I can tell you after having H&D pears, it’s hard to go back to anything else. We love to give these baskets as healthy gifts.
I would dice up the pineapple and take it to work to share. My co-workers and I love fresh pineapple.
Hmmm….my family and I would devour everything in the basket, but the fresh pineapple would be a special treat!
Such an awesome give away and hearing you rave about those pears makes me want to try one for sure and there is plenty to share with my Mom too.
I would be most excited to try that pineapple! Yum!! 🙂
I would be most excited to eat pineapple from the basket. I completely fell in LOVE with pineapple after going on my honeymoon to Costa Rica. And- living in Grand Forks, ND- it’s tough to find fresh fruit here! Everything is mushy and gross!
I would love to try Harty and David’s other fruit! I’ve only ever tried their oranges and apples. A tropical basket sounds delicious.
I would be most excited to try the pears!
Harry and David have the best produce. I would love to try some fresh pears!
I would like to give this as a gift to my sister (with her new addition to the family). Raising five children can be expensive (especially when buying fresh fruit for them all), and I know she would LOVE this wonderful fruit!
I would LOVE to try those pears! My mouth has been watering every time your posts include them in a meal. They look perfectly ripe and delicious!
The pears! I always oogle at them when I get the Harry and David catalog. We have given baskets as presents but never actually ordered one for ourselves. Looks so delicious!
Ever since I saw your original post about your visit, I have been dying to try the pears! I recently started eating pears and I love them! But it is difficult to find good ones at my neighborhood store. When you describe them they sound delicious!
I would love to have some fresh fruit so my little one could try some. We don’t find very good quality fresh fruit in the grocery stores around here in the winter. Harry & David fruit is so good!
