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!

Id love the kiwi!! BUT, Id send it to my daughter. Shes in college and loves the healthy alternatives!!!
i’d love to send this to my mom, especially for the papaya. we were in australia about two years ago to date and experienced some of the best fruit- including papaya AKA paw paw!! she still raves about the exotic fruits 😀
I don’t know that I can pick a favorite… I have twin boys that are 5, and they both have autism. One of the things we deal with on a daily basis is reactions to food textures. It is a constant challenge… But with fruit, we have been very fortunate – the boys gobble it up regardless. I would be excited to have them pick what they would like to try first.
I would like to send this to my grandmother.
PAPAYA this time of year would be such a sweet escape from this chilly PA winter I have been enduring!!!
I would send it to my mom as it’s her birthday next month and she’s been trying really hard to stay on track with a new healthy living lifestyle. She would LOVE this fruit!
Ooooh, Pears or Pineapple?
That’s a tough one! But since I must pick one….PINEAPPLE! I love the stuff!
I would LOVE to try the pineapple! It looks so delicious! 🙂
I would love to try the pears. Also the pineapple looks delicious!
Oh I would love to try the pineapple, and I also LOVE pears!!!
my family and I LOVE fruit. Pick me please!
… I would love to try the GOLDEN PEAR!! plus, my boyfriend just passed his CPA exam- I would send him this… he loves pineapple!!
Pineapple! We lived in Hawaii for four years and have never found a pineapple that we have bought stateside to taste as good. You make it sound like Harry and David will have a pineapple that tastes as good or better!
pears! pears! pears!
YUM!!! That pineapple looks so tasty! I’m thinking a piña colada smoothie would be most excellent! Just like a tropical vacation in February 😉
I’m excited to try the papaya!
Definitely pineapple! I love them!
I would love to try all of the fruit! I have a BIG (8-hour long!) dental boards exam coming up that I will be studying hard for over the next weeks and would love to switch up my study fuel (less chocolate and more delicious fruit would be perfect!)
I am almost drooling looking at those fruit pictures! I have heard so many great things about their pears so I would like to try those, but I’m most excited about the pineapple and papaya. I could use a little burst of “summer” in my life in this frigid weather!
Kiwi! Mmmmm
The pears! I have never had a Harry and David pear!
The pears! Have heard so much about these pears!
I want to try baby bananas! Sometimes the regular ones are just too big!
I’ve never sliced my own pineapple so I’m looking forward to that most. My old office received a Harry and David fruit delivery once a month and it was wonderful! I never knew pears could be so delicious. I ate 3 in one day (no one else was interested lucky for me!)
pineapple!!
I would love to try a papaya. I’ve never had one before! Everything looks absolutely delicious though.
My husband and I both love fruit, but would you believe neither one of us has ever tried Papaya? Nope, we haven’t. So, that’s what I’d be most excited to try!
Thanks for the chance to win!!
Papaya has so many health benefits! I am at college, and its my first time being away from home… ever. I used to grocery shop for my family and buys tons of the sweet stuff! I am missing out on fruit and would love to share with the gals on my floor at UMD!
my daughter in college, this would be a perfect surprise!
I know I would love the pineapple because its one of my favorite fruits, but I think I’d be the most excited about the baby bananas because I’ve never had them before.
I would go straight for the pineapple, looks so fresh and delish!!
What a cool giveaway! I´d love to try the mango!
The pears! You’ve given such great reviews I think it would all be awesome! I love me some fruit!
I absolutely LOVE pineapple, but after hearing about their pears, that is what I would be most excited to try! Thanks for sharing!
I am excited to try the pineapple. I haven’t had a delicious pineapple in awhile!
Pineapple and Mango!!! Love Love LOVE!!! I don’t know if I’ve ever been quite so excited for a giveaway (haha, slightly sad perhaps) but seriously, I have a major fruit addiction. It might be becoming a bit of a problem. My family and friends make fun of me so much for how much fruit I eat
I’d like to try the Rivera Pears.
Would LOVE to try those pears…but the baby bananas are adorable!
The mango and pineapple.
The pineapple! I’ve had their pears many times and absolutely love them but only think of pears when I think of Harry & David. Now that you mention the pineapple, I have to try it!
Definitely the pears! I love pears but i’ve never tried that particular type before!
This would be a FANTASTIC gift for my coworkers and I! We work in a fitness center so a basket of delicious fresh fruit will keep us go go going!
I would love to send a basket to my parents =) They’ve been so supportive of me as I’ve been so far away at school, and I don’t know what I’d do without them!
I want to try the papaya! I don’t think I have ever had fresh papaya before 🙂
Pineapple, loooove pineapple.
This might be so lame, but I would love the avocado! It’s so good on its own, can’t imagine what a Harry and David one would taste like!
I have never had any Harry and David fruit before. I have been really wanting to try their famous pears! The baby bananas sound yummy too.
Would love to try the avocado and papaya, two of the basket’s contents I’ve never tasted.
Would love to send this to my mom, a certified fruit addict who would love everything!
Definitely the pineapple and papaya! YUM!
