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!

Wow, what a wonderful giveaway! You rock! I’m particularly interested in the pears– I HATE pears… but you keep saying how good the H&D ones are, and it makes me curious!
The pears! Best pears ever come from Harry and David!
I would be selfish and keep it for myself… I have my eye on that pineapple! 🙂
Can you believe I’m from Oregon and have never had a Harry and David pear?! Craziness. I will cross my fingers for this one. 🙂
I personally would LOVE the pineapple!! But I wouldn’t want the basket for myself, I would love for my sister, Monica ( we call her Mo) to have it! She is a mother of three great kids…one girl and two boys. She works full time ( she’s an attorney) and she is a great mom! A lot of times as parents, all of the attention goes to the family (rightfully so) and we forget a little of that attention for ourselves! It would be nice if she were to come home and see that lovely basket waiting for her…just something nice for her (that she will of course share).
how do they get those pears to be so perfectly green?!?!?! lovin’ those!
and the potential for using everything else in a smoothie or juiced to mix into a _____tini is very possible if they aren’t eaten “as is” first 🙂
I’d really love to send this to my mom. I like to do anything that will put a smile on her face because she’s an awesome lady! And she loves fruit and I don’t think she’s ever had fresh mango or papaya! P.S. Love you blog!
The pears! You have talked so much about them, I would love to try one.
I love the pears!!! 🙂
The pears for sure. Like you said, like candy!
I really want to try the pears! You give them such high remarks!
all that fruit looks soo yummy but i would be most excited about the pineapple!
It would be awesome for my family to win this basket! We have been taking steps over the past year to be more healthy, especially in our diets- fresh fruits and veggies, trying different foods, less processed foods etc… Now I crave apples instead of starbursts!!
The pineapple! Since their pears are incredible i bet their fruit is amazing too
I’d love to eat the papaya! It has been a long time since I’ve had one, and it would be delicious to have this time of year.
Definitely the pear! I am super picky about pears – I either love them or hate them depending on the quality. I have a feeling these would pass my test!
Pineapple!!!
Your blog has helped jump start my healthy eating and this fruit basket would help me stay on track, focusing on healthy sweets instead of those indulgent ones. There are 2 fruits I am most excited about: the mango because I love all things tropical and the pineapple because I could share it with my husband who also needs a bit of a jump start in the healthy eating departent!
I would love to try it all, but the pineapple in particular! I am in MN so we are in prime “no fresh fruit” season. This would satisfy my sweet tooth!
Definitely pineapple!!! Fresh pineapple is to die for 🙂
The pears! While I love all the fruit included in the basket, I hear so many great things about the pears I am excited to try one.
Pears and papaya! Your posts including pears have me craving them, although I don’t usually eat pears. I have never tried papaya, but I’m sure I would like it! Thanks for the opportunity to win such a great gift!
I want to try the mango! It’s so hard to justify buying one in winter if you don’t know it’s going to be good.
Those pears!
I wanna try those pears!
Seeing your perfectly fresh pears in your posts lately has had me craving some yummy pears!
Oh my goodness that looks AMAZING! I would love to try some of that Pineapple right now, to get me in a tropical mood in the middle of winter.
After all the rave about the pears, I would love to try them!
Pineapple for me. Love Harry and David. Their dark chocolate mint truffles are amazing!
fresh pineapple is amazing!
I would send this fruit basket to my good friend who recently got home from the hospital with her first baby!
Yum! I would send this basket to my mom who wants to start a healthier life style:)
I’ve been reading your posts about the pears… Makes my mouth water thinking about them.
I can’t believe you still have fruit left almost a week later (I would def devour it on my own in a few days 😉
The papaya looks fantastic! and who can forget those amazing pears- my mouths watering thinking about them.
That pineapple looks fabulous! But, I really want to try their pears.
I would be most excited for the papaya. My three little monkeys who LOVE all kinds of fruit would be most excited for the pears! A fresh fruit basket just might make these cold MN days seem more “balmy.”
Harry and David pears are absolute perfection; I would love this mid-winter treat!
Definitely the bananas – I love baby bananas and always pick them up when they have them at my local WF. So much better than regular bananas!
I’ve always heard how good their famous pears are so I would love to try them!
I would looooove to try the pears…I’ve heard great things and every time you feature them on your blog I wish I could try one!
It has been a long time since I have enjoyed Harry & David fruit. I can almost taste the pears now.
It’s a tie between the papaya and the pears. Can you believe I’ve never had a pear from Harry & David?! That issue must be rectified ASAP!
The baby bananas- I can never find those in my area 🙂
The pears…I hear they’re fabulous!!
I want to see what all the pear hype is about!
I love their pears and apples, they always taste so fresh no matter what season it is!
I love a good pear and have been wanting to try the Harry & David ones ever since you started posting about them. My mom has helped me through alot this year and pears at her favorite, so I’d five this basket to her (hopefully shed share the pears)
I would love all of it especially the kiwi & papaya – two fruits I rarely buy because they’re so hit or miss when I choose!
Mmm fruit, looks delicious!
The pineapple looks amazing! I’d love to try it
Pineapple in. February?! I’m all for it!
