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’ve always wanted to try a Harry’s and David fruit basket because I hear so many good things about them! I would be so excited to try all of these fruit but since you rave about the pears, I would probably try that out of much anticipation 😀
I’ve tried their pears before and they are delicious! I would love to try the rest if teir fresh fruits…I have a feeling that each one is fabulous!
The pineapple looks delicious !
How wonderful to have fresh fruit arrive at your doorstep! That would be especially amazing in the 15 degree weather we have in Ohio right now. The pineapple looks like slices of paradise!
I am so excited to try the pears!! I love fruit but I have just started to give pears a chance and I LOVE them. to get some amazing-ly delicious pears would just put me over the top! YUM!
the mango and pineapple sound the best to me! My boyfriend is always on the hunt for good mangos, but they’ve been hard to come by around here. As for me? Pineapple is my fruit of choice!
The pears and pineapple look delicious!!
It all looks delicious, but the pears are definitely at the top of my list!
The pears look great, and I keep hearing about how great the H&D pears are!
Avocado! Although it all looks so yum!
I love fresh paypa! And mango! And oooo it all looks yummy!
yummy! all of it – but i love those pears!
I (along with my family) love pineapple. A fresh juicy pineapple is always so good!
the pears! i haven’t really tried GOOD pears before so i’d love to try them 🙂
These look so good. My little ones love all kinds of fruit.
the pears for sure… they’re famous!
I’d send the fruit basket to my fiance’ as he has been my rock through the stressful world of wedding planning!
I would love to try their pears!!!
Do baby bananas taste any different than regular bananas? I’d really like to try those!
Although I love fruit and I would love to try Harry and David’s pineapple myself, what I would really loved to do is win the fruit basket to give to my dear next door neighbors. Our neighbors have 2 sweet young children, and after courageously batteling Cancer off and on for the last 15 years, Cancer has finally almost won for the father. My friend and her children don’t know how many days they have left with their husband and father, and it is terribly heartbreaking. Our neighbors are such good, kind people, who are so brave, and have such an amazing outlook on life despite the tremendous trials they are facing right now. So, this is why I would love to win this basket to give to them. I just think it would be the type of gift that would bring a little brightness into their lives amongst the heartache they are going through right now. Thanks so much for the giveaway!

I have yet to try the infamous pears. So that’s what I would choose.
Papaya please! I’m hoping it is as delicious as the ones in Hawaii. 🙂
The papaya and mangos would be awesome! Yum!
I’m a senior at school now and I would absolutely love to send this fruit basket to my mom! She is a lover of both pears and pineapple!
I would be most excited for the Mango! It is one of my favorite fruits and I would love to put it, along with the kiwi into a quinoa salad! Just found this blog BTW, very excited to follow! 🙂
I haven’t tried any of their fruit before but I think the pears would be the first to be eaten!
Definitely looking at those pears and the pineapple. Yum!
I would be most excited to try the papaya! I’ve had papaya juice but never the actual fruit. Although all of it sounds delicious!
I’d love to try the kiwi and mango! Yum!!
I would look forward to tasting papaya, and the pears.
I’d love to try all they have to offer, but I’m looking forward to their pineapple the most.
I’d love to win this basket for my parents. It would be perfect timing to both welcome them into their new home in a new state and also comfort them after losing their 13 year old beloved dog. Thanks for a great giveaway!
I would love to try the mango — they’re my favorite fruit!
I wish I could be generous and say that I’d give this away, but I’m the biggest fruit-aholic I know! I would share, though. EXCEPT for the pears and mango… those would be mine! 🙂
I am on a huge pear kick. However the pineapple pictured looks amazing!
Pineapple!!!
The pears for sure!!!
Pineapple! It will help me with one of my BBB goals!
I would love to eat that pineapple right now… a really ripe pineapple is one of the best fruits ever!! Ahhh 🙂
avocado!
The pears! I’ve heard nothing but magical comments about them!
I can’t wait to taste the pineapple. It will take me to a tropical location!
The mango, of course!
I’d love to try the baby bananas…how cute!
The pineapple…yum!
The pears!! I’ve heard they’re delicious
I am the most interested and excited with the idea of trying out the baby bananas. Did not even know baby bananas existed, and I consider myself a banana Connoisseur. My mother has a serious disorder called hypokalemia periodic paralysis that has caused her to be deficient in potassium, which is why I think I know a little thing or two about bananas. I have to make sure that my mom eats at least 3-4 bananas and other potassium-rich fruits/veggies a day to treat her disorder. Sorry about the ramble, lol. I just wanted to explain my “banana connosisseur” statement.
I would be very interested in trying the Avocado! I love making homemade guacamole and looking at the picture of the basket, the avocado was the first thing that jumped out to me!
I’m most excited about the pears!
My husband is obsessed with fruit! He is a huge fan of kiwis, but I’m more partial to pineapple. 🙂
