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!

All of them! I’d rather have raw broccoli over an apple anyday…weird, I know! My kids eat a TON of fruit and I made a 2013 resolution to eat more as well!!
Definitely the pears! But I think I would opt to send this basket to my Mom who has a tough time trying to find really great fruit where she lives!
I would love to try the kiwi! I love ’em so much, but never think to buy kiwi while grocery shopping.
The pineapple looks amazing and reminds me of summer. I would love to get my hands on that basket 🙂
Most definitely the mango! But i loveeee avocados too!
I have ALWAYS wanted to get my hands on one of those pears!!! Your posts have made me insanely jealous this week…
Wow! I love their pears but I’m most excited to try the mango and baby bananas!
wow, what an awesome giveaway. If I won I would be so pumped to try the mango! It is my favorite fruit. All of it looks amazing though 🙂
The pineapple looks yummy!
Looks like such a great basket. I LOVE all fruit and would be interested in the papaya since I have never tried one before.
I absolutely ADORE H&D pears, but I’d love to win this to share with my daughter. She loves all fruit, and has been asking to try avocados.
I’d go for the pineapple first! Yum!
The mango! Mangoes are my favorite fruit. Fresh or dried – tastes so good!
When you were speaking about the pineapple, my mouth immediately started watering! I would definitely like to try it!
I have tried all the fruit in the basket at one time or another, but have never tried the Harry and David pears. They look delicious and would love to try them!
I would love to try the Harry & David pears and that pineapple!! But, I would probably send this basket to my parents. They just moved and I think it would be a great surprise for this to show up on their doorstep!
I’d be most excited about the papaya and baby bananas – I love trying unique types of fruit!
I am a sucker for fresh pineapple, although everything in the basket looks delicious!
I would love to try the Harry & David baby bananas! I love all the fruit listed and baby bananas are the only thing I havent tried. I wonder if they taste different than regular bananas?
The pears! I have never had a Harry and David pear.
I would want to send the gift basket to my parents… just as a little surprise for them while I’m at college! Also, the pineapple looked amazing!
I would love to try to avocado! I haven’t had much luck buying them myself, but I love the taste in entrees I’ve ordered. Maybe Harry & David will have avocados I can use!
I’d be most excited to eat those pears! They’re my favorite fruit lately 🙂
I know I’ve had them before, but for me, Harry and David is all about the pears! I have NEVER had a better pear than Harry and Davids!
My mom’s birthday is this month and she is the most amazing woman I know. She adopted me when I was 7, after fighting for me for 5 years then raised me as a single mom. She gave up a lot for me and has been the most incredible mother and role model a girl could ever ask for. This past August we promoted her to a grandma and to see her with my son makes me realize even more how amazing she truly is. She’s seriously Superwoman without the cape. I’d love to give this basket to her to show her how much she truly means to me.
the pineapple!
I would send this to my sister and brother in law. My sister is pregnant with my first niece or nephew; this amazing basket would give that baby some delicious vitamins
My kids love fruit and it’s so hard to find good produce this time of year where we live. So, this basket would be a great treat! I would love to try the mango and pineapple….any tropical fruit sounds pretty good to me in the middle of winter 🙂
Definitely most excited for the avocado! I love it an eat avocado with everything!
I have never tried one of their pears and your posts have me salivating!
The pears. Everyone raves about them, and I’d like to be one of those ravers. 😉
I would love to try the pears after hearing such great reviews of them!
I love papaya, mango, & avocado together. Such a smooth & decadent fruit salad! Most excited about the papaya.
I’ve never had a baby banana so I think I’d try that one first…followed by a pear!
I love their pears, but in the middle of winter, I’m craving tropical fruits like mango!
the pears! because you talk about how good they are im afraid I have never had a quality pear!
Okay, so you know how much you loveeee peanut butter? I’m that way about pears!! I can’t get enough of those yummy guys. However, I have never had a Harry &David pear..this makes a pear lover like me really sad. I don’t know what I’m missing out on! So it would be so awesome to win the basket so i can finally taste what a really phenomenal pear tastes like!
I adore their pears!!! SO good! But the pineapple also looks delicious and I would eat that right up!
I am most excited for the mango. It’s one of my favorites but I don’t have it too often!
Love all of the fruits! But I’ve never had Papaya! I’d be excited to try that!!
My husband loves pears so I’d love to win the basket 🙂
Ahhh what fruit am I not excited to try? ALL of them look amazing! I think I would be most excited to try the mangos or kiwi! yumm!
I’ve not been a huge pear fan in the past, so I definitely would love to try them!!!
I have heard so many people talk about how great the pears are, so I would love an opportunity to finally try them! I also love pineapple!
Mango! Good mangos are hard to find in WI this time of year. This basket would bring a taste of summer to us in the frozen tundra.
I want to give the avocado a try. I’ve never been a huge fan, but I’m willing to try it again!
I would love to try the Royal Riviera Pears! I love all fresh fruit, but would love to try the pears the most because I have never had this kind before!
I love pineapple! The photo you posted of it cut in half is making me drool!
The pears! I’ve heard everyone rave about them and am dying to try one!
The pineapple looks delicious! This time of the year in PA there really isn’t a good fruit selection.
