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 the fruit looks delicious, but I’d really love the fresh pineapple.
I’d love to send it to my little sister. She’s seven months pregnant and just moved into a new house. Plus my 3 year old nephew LOVES fruit. It’s one of the few foods he eats these days.
I would be most excited for the baby bananas! 🙂
The pears! Cause I hear they are soo good!
I would be most excited to try the papaya (actually all of the fresh fruit would be amazing!!)
I think the apples sound exciting. I have been on an apple kick the past few months, and I would be keen to try a super fancy type one!
I’m most excited to try the baby bananas. They’re adorable and I’ve never had one before. I usually use half a regular banana in my smoothies so the baby ones look like the perfect size to just toss in whole.
Mmm pears & kiwi! Looks so delicious!!:)
I would send it to my mom!With all my siblings now gone away for college/work she’s an empty-nester and has been feeling a little lonely lately.
I’d definitely give it to my parents — they shoveled my driveway for me while I was at work the other day. What a great surprise when I got home!! It was nice to just relax rather than having to shovel in the cold.
I love the pears!!
I would like to try the papaya! I’ve never bought one and cut it myself. I’ve only had it a few times when it was prepared by someone else.
Pears! I can’t remember the last time I had a pear!
I would send this to my mom and dad as a surprise! They are both very economical and would never in a million years think to treat themselves to something as wonderfully luxurious as a fruit basket. It would bring the biggest smile to their faces.
It’s a tie between pineapple and mango! Thanks for the giveaway!!
Definitely the papaya!
Pears! And from what I have heard Harry & David pears are amazing!
Pineapple – for sure! Nice giveaway – thank you!
PINEAPPLE. I bet it is amazing!!
I can’t get enough pineapple this pregnancy soooo I’m pretty sure I would die a little with a whole one!
I love bananas and pears
I’d like to be able to have this sent to my mother back in BC, Canada while I enjoy the Southern Hemisphere summer. Tropical fruit to remind her of a sunnier time!
Love Harry & David Pears….but I’ve actually never had many of their other fruits! I’d probably be most excited to try to the baby bananas!
Pineapple!! I love it and haven’t tried it yet from Harry and David but everything they have is fabulous so I’m sure it will be too!!
I just love all fruit! I would be most excited to try the mango!
Not sure if I’ve ever had papaya.
I would love this basket – our family LOVES fresh fruit and goes through it like wildfire! The basket is gorgeous too, I can see it put to use in my house for sure!
We love mangoes in our house. We call our daughter Mango Maya, since she has loved them since she was an infant!!
I can’t wait to try the pineapple! Maybe I’ll throw it into a morning smoothie! :o)
I’m most excited to try papaya! Looks good.
I would love to try the pineapple! Everything looks delicious!
Pears, pineapple and avocado…okay, all of it! I would share it with my Mom! 🙂
All the fruit looks amazing! but I am addicted to mangos and would love to try their mangos.
I grew up eating mangos in Peru … and its so hard to find good mangos here sometimes.

I would love to try the pineapple..and pears! I would also love to send a fruit basket to my boyfriend that moved across the country this past September!
I’d send the fruit basket to my boyfriend because he eats fruit by the barrelful!! & that way too, I know that I could eat some of it too..if it lasts that long 🙂 I’d love to try the papaya because I’ve never had one before!
The Royal Riveria pears sound amazing!
It looks amazing!! I would love to try to kiwi and fresh pineapple!
I want to try the Royal Riviera Pears!! My kids are big fruit lovers too!!
Most looking forward to trying the papaya, since I never have before
I would love to try the baby bananas – I’ve never had them! And the mango!
Pineapple is one if my absolute faves! I was lucky to try H&D pears this winter and if the pineapple is half as amazing I would be in Hawaiian heaven 🙂
YUM PEARS!
That looks delicious!
I want to try the pineapple!!
I’m anxious to try a Mango. I have never purchased a mango and I’m happy to try this quality brand of fruit. I know it will be juicy and delicious.
Who in their right mind would gift delicious fruit to someone else? 🙂 Just call me fruit-selfish. I would love any of those tropical fruits- mango, pineapple.. yum! It helps me get excited for summer after this long NW winter. 🙂
I would absolutely love to send this fruit basket to my mom. She has recently (in the past year) gotten into running and loves it! My mom is my motivation as I have just started running myself and will run my first 8k in March. She is such a huge inspiration and is an amazing woman. Fruit is her go-to food so I know she would be more than ecstatic to receive this basket of delicious and unique fruits.
Pineapple – my favorite fruit!
I would love to try the baby bananas because they remind me of the apple bananas I used to love so much when I lived in Hawaii!
I’d love to serve the pears with Gorgonzola for an appetizer!
