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’d like to try all of the fruit! I love all of them, but especially apples with a little melted peanut butter and toasted unsweetened coconut… Yum!
The pears look amazing but I would love to try any of the fruits!!!
I would love to send this basket to my Dad who is currently undergoing chemo therapy for mantle cell lymphoma. Beautiful and tasty fruits to nourish his body. I think he would enjoy the pears or kiwi most. Thanks!
I would love to try the pears. It’s hard to find good pears here.
I’d surprise my friend Hannah with the fruit; she’s currently volunteering for a year as a teacher in San Diego… And preparing for her first half marathon in March!
My Great Grandpa worked for Harry and David do we used to get baskets of pears at Christmastime when he was alive! I would love all the fruit but those pears make me super nostalgic!
I would love to try the baby bananas! I always see these in the grocery store and think they are so adorable! Fresh fruit is by far the best dessert option!
This is wonderful!! The mango is the one I’m most excited about, though they’re all amazing!! 🙂 Thank you!
One of my New Year’s Resolutions was to try to incorporate more fruit in my diet…I can’t think of a better way to start! Plus the basket would look cute in my new place!
I don’t think I’ve ever tasted a fresh pear before, so pear would be my choice!
I’m selfish an want the basket for myself 🙂 I’m most excited to try the baby bananas. What do those things taste like anyway??
Love their pears!!
I would LOVE to try the baby bananas! I’ve never had them, and my kids and I are huge fruit fans! It would be a nice change from the normal blueberries/strawberries/oranges and apples!
I love all kinds of fruit, but I am partial to avocados!!
I would send it to my sister. She just had her second baby and getting to the grocery store is a little tough right now. And I hope she’d share the pineapple with me 😉
Apples are my favorite!
I love mangoes!!!
Ever since you blogged about your visit I have been dying to try their pears!
I’d love to try the pineapple! I feel like lately whenever I buy one, it’s got something wrong with it 🙁
As much as I’d LOVE to keep the basket for myself, I would love even more if I were able to give it away as a sussy (see: http://thesussyproject.com). Kindness in fruit-form?! Yes please!! 🙂
I would love this basket! I probably would send it my mom, who has been sick. This would help her immensely and since I am out of town, it would help me feel like I am helping her as well! Thank you!
Pineapple hands down! It’s my favorite fruit. And I secretly love cutting them. =)
I’m really excited about the pears, mango, and avocado! I’d share the basket with my brother. We spent about 5 years living far from each other, but we’ve been fortunate to be able to hang out and reconnect lately as we are finally living in the same place for the time being. He likes to cook and usually makes delicious things on the grill, so he’d probably find a way to cook the fruit on the grill for an unusual twist.
Pears are delicious, delectable, and delightful!!!
I would love to try the pears and the mango! Yum!
It all looks delicious!! I think I would most look forward to trying the mango and pineapple. YUM! 🙂
I would send it to my mom, she recently lost 35lbs and has been working hard to maintain her new slim self. She LOVES fruit, especially apples!
I’m would most look forward to the baby bananas! I eat a banana every day and the baby ones looks so cute!
I’ve been dying to try those pears and I love fruit of any sort, so I would LOVE to win this basket!!
Looks awesome!I would love to send this to my mom! :):)
Pears
all of the fruit..esp pears
I would love to try those pears!
I would share it with my mom 🙂 She LOVES their pears and she has been traveling to Pennsylvania from Maryland for the past few weeks (my grandfather, her father, passed away a few months ago). They are going through his stuff, so I think that this would be a perfect treat for her at this time.
I sent my mom a box of Harry & David Pears for her birthday and she LOVED them. I’ve never actually treated myself to any of Harry & David’s treats but fruit is my favorite – pineapples especially! I would LOVE to try the kiwis as well!
I am living a healthier lifestyle this year and i would love, love, love this whole basket. My Dr. Has me avoiding cow milk and wheat flour so all of this yummy fresh fruit would be perfect. I look forward to the fresh mango 🙂
Pears!! I never can find any around here that are ripe and delicious… Sadly, our fresh fruit selection in my small town is lacking. It makes it more difficult to be healthy. I wish I lived in a bigger city so I could do something like http://www.greenling.com/. Fresh AND local!
I love those pears!! But I’d be most excited to try the baby bananas. What a great looking basket!
I’ve heard nothing but incredible things about Harry& David’s delicious pears and would LOVE to try them finally!!
The pineapple looks amazing 🙂
I think I’d be most excited to try the mango! They’re super yummy!!
I’m excited to try the mango! It’s my favorite fruit!
I would be most excited to try the kiwis!!!
I’m most excited to try the pineapple, but excited to try it all!! 🙂 🙂
Pears! I love a good pear.
Kiwi! I love Harry & David!
I would send it to my grandmother, who is one of the most loving and supportive people I know, especially through my process of getting ACSM certified. She is always on the go, so she would love all the goodies in this basket! 🙂
All the fruit sounds yummy!! I would love to have the fresh pineapple and mango!
It all looks SO good but my mouth started watering when I saw the pineapple! YUM!
Pineapple, looks super delicious. But I would be happy to try all and share with my family 🙂
