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 have the mango! I studied abroad in college in Senegal during the peak of mango season… Those things were as big as footballs and you could eat one as your entire meal! I’ve been dying to have as delicious of a mango since then and none of them have ever hit the spot, so here’s hoping H&D’s might!
I cant wait to try the pears! but the pineapple looks like it might steal the show!
I love you and I would love to try a Harry and David pear!!!
I’ve never been a pear lover, but am curious if the fabulous pears you speak of often could convert me!
The mango! It’s my absolute favorite.
Oh gosh, that pineapple looks DELICIOUS!
Yummy! I want pineapple…mmm. It’s cold and dark here in PNW…at least I can pretend I’m in a tropical location 😉
the pears – I have heard so many great things about them!
I would like to send it to my boyfriend. He has never been very focused on nutrition. Recently he decided to temporarily eat a vegan diet to focus more on his diet. I think a huge basket of fresh fruit would help him focus on his health.
Love love mango!!! Awesome giveaway
I have always heard that Harry & David have the best pears, so I would be very excited to try them!
There is nothing better than a juicy pineapple!!!!!!!
PAPAYA!
Last time I had one of those was when I was 9! Ahh!
I’d love to try the papaya ! You hear such great things about harry and davids fruit I’d love to win!
The pineapple and Papya look amazing!!!
That pineapple looks amazing…that is what I would look forward to the most!!
OMG, would love to try the pears! If they are as good as you say they are, I am missing out.
I can’t wait to try the avocados. I can’t get enough and we can’t find great quality ones in the northeast this time of year.
Some great Avocados! My 5 kiddos and I would loooooooove every bite if this!
Pears! 🙂
I am dying to try their pears! They look so good!

I would be most excited to eat the pears although I do love me some mango too!
I love their pineapples!!!
I would be most excited about the papaya, I’ve never tried that before!!
An apple a day! But I would eat any fruit out of a Harry and David basket. We always give them to clients during the holidays 🙂
What a fun giveaway…. I would share my gift basket with my colleagues at the winery where I work. We’re all trying to eat healthier and having such fabulous fruit available would go a long way to making that happen! Hope I win! 😉
Been wanting to try one of their pears for ages now!
I’d love it sent to my sister, because she could use the mid-winter pick-me-up!
I want the mango…although I’m really dying to try one of their pears!
Pineapple. And I would be selfish an want I for myself. 🙂
I would be pretty excited to break into that pineapple! I never get fresh pineapple, but love it so much!
I’d be most excited about the papaya – I love it but never think to buy it! I’ve also never bought a whole pineapple before.
I have never tried Harry and David before but the fruit always looks delicious. If I got the basket I would try the pear first then head on over to taste the baby bananas
Mango is my absolute favorite fruit!
I would love to have that basket. You talk about the pears so much those are the first items I would reach for.
thanks for doing this for us.
I am excited for the mango, papaya, and pineapple! Those are some of my favorites and I live in the middle of the desert so its hard to come by some good fresh ones 🙁
I would send it to my boyfriend as a surprise, as he LOVES fruit…but then I’d definitely try a pear, because I’ve never had a really good pear, and I’d like to change my mind about them!
That pineapple looks AMAZING! I could seriously eat the whole thing in one sitting! Thank you for this great giveaway!
I’d love to try the pears! Although I’m on a total avocado obsession lately so that sounds tastey also!!
Mangoes are my favorite fruit!
You always have the best giveaways, Julie! I am most excited about the mango because they are so hard to find in NYC this time of year!! Enjoy your date night tonight!
Would love to try the pineapple!
Pineapple is my favorit!
Fruit is my JAM! The mango and pineapple would be gone in no time if that baby was delivered to my doorstep!
Pineapple – hard to find good ones in my middle of no-where town!
The bananas are adorable. Do they taste different than regular-sized bananas? If so, I’d love to try them out of curiosity. And I always love a good pear!
Yum, that looks heavenly! I would love the pineapple! I always try to eat it after my long runs because it has great anti-inflammatory benefits 🙂
I would LOVE to try the Harry & David pears! Fruit is my absolute favorite food so I would be so excited to try all of the fruits in the basket!
