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 pears!! Love me some pears! Never heard of this kind, but I’m intrigued!
Best fruit EVER! And the moose munch crunch…and the coffee…LOVE LOVE LOVE Harry & David!
I love them all! The pineapple looks so juicy and I love mangos and kiwi. It is difficult to get nice ripe ones, but these look wonderful! Thank you for this healthy giveaway.
I would love to try the pears and the pineapple
I would love to try the pears!
PINEAPPLE!
True story: I have a slight allergy to pineapple (it makes my mouth itchy), but I will never stop eating it. Too delicious 🙂
I would be most excited for the mango. I LOVE mangos and can’t wait for summer to have them again!
Mango!!!
I’d love to try the pears, especially after reading how fantastic they are!
Pineapple is my first choice but I sure would like to try the avocado.
I like how you repurposed the basket. I would love the pears. And the pineapple.
That pineapple looks delicious! When I was a kid, I ate so much pineapple one time my tongue was swollen! So I’ll enjoy in moderation this time 🙂
I would LOVE to try some pineapple! It’s been ages!
Pears!! Most of them I buy in the supermarket are not that great, so it is tough to find good pears!
I love mangos!
That pineapple looks SO GOOD!!
I would love to try the papaya and introduce it to my children. I love expanding their pallet.
I would love to try the papaya because I have never tried one!
I purchased their pears on a living social deal and I love them! I’d like to try their other fruits too…especially papaya since I’ve never had it before!
I would love to win this fruit basket – everything looks yummy but especially the pineapple.
I’d love to try the pineapple. It is my favorite!!
I am a total fruit monster, so I’d be excited for anything in that basket! If I had to pick one though, I’d say papaya. I don’t normally buy them but it would be great to mix things up a bit!
Oh how awesome! I love pineapple, but haven’t tried to get one in a while due to the season, but all that fruit looks perfect!
The pineapple, mangos and avocado! After living in Costa Rica for a year, it’s hard to find fruit that compares back here in the US (midwest).
“Little bananas,” that just sounds so cute. Can’t wait to try them.
The pineapple! It looks amazing!
This fruit basket looks amazing! I always love pears in the winter, but I think the pineapple would be what I’d cut into first!
I would be stoked to have a fresh, sweet pineapple in the midst of this winter freeze to remind me of summer!! 🙂
I would love this basket. My son loves the baby bananas and they are so hard to find.
I’m most excited for the mango! Yummy!
I’d have to say is be most excited to try the papaya!! I’ve never tried one before and based on the great reviews of Harry & David, I can’t help but think it would be YUMMY!!
I would like to send it to my grandparents! Both of their birthdays are around this time of year, and they would love this!
The pears! I’ve heard so many good things about Harry and David pears! I would share this basket with my family 🙂
I’d love to try the pineapple! 🙂
Really looking forward to the pears and pineapple!!! But to tell you the truth, the fruit I am buying now is just not so good…..tis the season….
I love to try the pineapple and pears!
I love ALL fruits, but would love to be able to send this basket to my parents as a surprise! When my sister and I are home, we devour all their fruit, so it’d be nice to send them some just for themselves 🙂
I LOVE pineapple! But…thinking about it, I might surprise my mom with the basket. She’s a true blessing to our family.
I would LOVE to win this basket! My grandfather actually gives boxes of Harry & David pears to all of his kids each Christmas, and my family absolutes adores them! If I won the gift basket, I would be most excited to try the avocado and limes, since I am already familiar with the pears. I think I would make the avocado and limes into a little bit of salsa. I would also love to share the fruit with the girls in my college dorm, and introduce them to how delicious healthy eating can be!
Omg all the fruit looks so yummy!! But I’d probably try the pineapple first!
Reading this post after coming inside from 27 degree weather makes that pineapple (and its tropical feel) very appealing!
I’d love to gift this basket to my friend Jennifer Bayne. We attend Louisiana State University in Shreveport together. Her husband is stationed in Guam, and she is juggling full-time studentdom with taking care of two little girls. Her husband is going to be gone for the SECOND Valentine’s day in a row, and I know this basket would just make her day…
Delicious! It all looks so wonderful, but I think the mango and papaya would be what I look forward the most to trying. But I rather share this basket with my neighbor. She’s training for her half-marathon and I would love to send her a basket full of healthy, encouraging fuel!
Although I follow pbfingers and several other blogs (via email subscription) I have never left a comment once. I would love to receive this basket!
I love pineapple and would really enjoy trying theirs. You speak so highly of them and I am anxious to try their fruit myself. Of course, I would share this basket with my wonderful husband 🙂
The pineapple! It looks sooo good in your picture and reminds me of summertime!
I think the avocados would be great to try!
I gotta go with the pineapple – I’ve been craving it this whole pregnancy and your pictures make it look amazingly sweet. Yum!
The pears and mango sound delicious! I would love to send this gift basket to my parents because they love fresh produce and it would be a nice little surprise for them!
I’d like to send it to my daughter!! (Well, she is 6, so myself as well.) Faye is obsessed with fresh fruit and will eat a whole container of berries if I don’t keep my eye on her. I’m trying to encourage healthy snacking in both of us. I’d love to introduce her to some amazing pears!
yessssssssssss I would be most excited about mango, avocado, or kiwi. i must be a tropical woman.
I love their pears!! So yummy! I would like the basket for my friend, Beth. Her three year old daughter is allergies to eggs, wheat, dairy, and so many other things. Fruit is something she CAN eat. This would be perfect for her…and it’s her birthday on the 12th!
